Thread: Yay I got a Negative 2 on my quiz.

  1. #1

    Default Yay I got a Negative 2 on my quiz.

    So this is what happened:
    My trigonometry teacher, is an ****#@$ anyway, so he instroduces this new concept to us It's the trigonometry identity Verification crap
    Something like:
    SecX^4*CosX^3/SinX^2+5=cosX^4/secX+2
    and you have to solve for one side. Well it's difficult to grasp this at first, (now it's easy). Anyway when we first started over this, Mr. Frost read the guidlines on how to do it, there was like 6 steps. They were vauge steps to boot. So he reads them to us, and then he puts this big problem on the board and it goes like this:

    I'm andy of course

    Frost: So Andy what side do I start with.

    Andy: Ulm.. the right one there becuase it has a square in it or something....

    *Frost looks at me*

    Frost: All right everyone take their stuff of your desk, and do the problem, it's an assment test and it will be graded.

    I guess he thought i was being sarcastic, but i wasn't he didn't show us anything ANYYTHING lol so i just guessed.

    i'm like WTF BIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTCH. Well i didn't say that

    But anyway, i got a 0 on the quiz (everyone else did too becuase he didn't explain how to do any of it, he just read the guidelines for it.) and then he knocked an extra two points off becuase i borrowed a pencil.. So on my paper it says
    -2
    10
    a -2 out of 10! Wtf! That's a negative 20 percent!

    So what do ya think about that?

    Hence why you shouldn't go to school.

    Sounds like my Pre-Cal teacher (same thing as trig).

    I found this hard at first, too. Well, not hard, just tiring because it took so long.

    Wait a sec... he can't knock off extra points because you BORROWED A PENCIL! This isn't even logical. It doesn't make sense... Most of the time when people complain about their teacher being asses, I just think they are whiners, but MAN! Taking off extra points for something so pointless is... horrible.

    Isn't the point of being a teacher to help the students through their schooling? Or learn in general? I have some teachers that have been like that at my school, thank god I don't have them this year!

    You should work extra hard to make up for that quiz. If you let this course drop your average you will suffer later in life.

    Trig what is this you speak of? I'm so bad at math that I'd probably get a -12324345343 without trying *gives the math gods the finger*

    Is the teacher really supposed to be known as "Dr. Frost"? Is he fairly heavy-set? Tallish? Does he wear glasses?

    If so, then it's the same teacher my brother had for Calculus. and THAT would be freaky to the MAX.

    I have a friend that once got a -180 on an assignment in our seventh-grade science class. Not only did he get everything wrong, he also wrote in pencil, which was -10 points for every question answered in pencil, and he wrote his name in the top-left, rather than the bottom-right like the teacher wanted him to.

    And to add on that, she let him make it up, and he got a higher grade than both me and Dragonflame did. Stupidhead.
