I loved English when I was in high school. I would go beyond the requirements, and when they asked for 5 pages, I would give them 20. I would always try very hard in English and always did well in it.
My scores were always advanced and every time they tested me, they said that I was 2 years more advanced in English.
I was always above the other students. This fact kind of annoyed me. I thought this was great, but my teacher would get upset when I did extra work. She said that she did not like reading all of it.
Yet at the same time, she would encourage other students in the class (who didn’t do half as much), and say that they were the brightest kids in the class.
I had another teacher that I loved, and he loved all my extra work. He would encourage me to do a lot and he said that he loved reading my stuff.
I guess I feel kind of cheated, since I tried so hard and the teacher really did not seem to appreciate the work I did.
I mean, should a teacher not encourage their students to go above and beyond? Is it me or is this just a lazy teacher?
I mean that the teacher would encourage us to do the minimum just because she didn’t feel like grading everything. Why take an English career if you don’t love your job?
After my junior year, I stopped caring about English and most of my classes.
Is it normal for English teacher to be this lazy?
