A little over a week into the preparatory language course and I can honestly say that I do not like one of my teachers. Let's just say I do not like his teaching style because when I try to explain more, it just sounds like I am whining. This morning I went to class without doing the work he assigned, and to my delight he did not collect it. Instead, we corrected the worksheet out loud together. I hoped to be able to form an answer on the spot, at least a good enough answer to let my unpreparedness go unnoticed. He saw right through me though and called me out for it.
I was humiliated and lectured in front of the whole class. Although harsh, it was no more than I deserved. Being passive aggressive towards the teacher is more detrimental to me than him. It is his job to help students learn and I was a prime example of what not to do. If we are to gain anything from the class, it is up to us to put in the effort and earn it. As much as I would like to blame him, I am the one at fault and will suffer for it. Despite my aversion for him, I must continue to take the course seriously because I genuinely do want to do well.
