everything looks perfect from far away

Dear Teachers, 

When 90% of us failed, it isn’t that we didn’t try, it’s just you are a terrible teacher.

Dear Students,

Yes, there are terrible teachers, but there are also terrible students.  I had probably a dozen students fail one of my classes this semester/quarter, and for the most part, I didn’t see all that much effort on their part.  I am more than happy to help if I see you trying and struggling, but instead, I saw them talking constantly during class.  They didn’t take notes.  They didn’t turn in their assignments on time.  When I gave them packets of missing work (twice) they didn’t do them.  They didn’t stay for after school tutoring.  I’m not going to pretend that I’m a perfect teacher; I know I’m not.  But seriously, if you fail my class, it’s probably mostly your fault.

So, yeah…
