that sounds fun, sadly we only did romeo and juliet and hamlet, i mean those are some of my faves but i wish we did even more! we also did the dollhouse and 12 angry men. i skipped two English classes and we had a lot more fun in the advanced classes. god i really love theater.
The normal English classes did Romeo and Juliet and a Midsommar’s Night Dream (I know what I did). I haven’t read or seen either. In tenth grade where there weren’t AP classes and the teacher just let me not show up after I was 2 months ahead on the work, we did Julius Caesar, that would have been really fun to act out but that wasn’t happening in our standard English class, we didn’t even get through reading the play, which was fine cause we watched the Charleton Heston movie instead. Hamlet would have been a really good time too. It turns out you won’t get much out of Shakespeare if you’re with 25 other people who are loudly determined not to.
darn children, i could never teach high school.
I have immense respect for those that do. Got my grade 11/12 French/geography teacher on board with Marxism. He was pissed cause we were French immersion and he was genuinely French and passionate about it, unlike pretty much every teacher before us and was rightfully pretty pissed off and decided he was gonna crash course us to being fluent. He also would have been retired had he not bought a house that thennhad a sewage treatment plant moved in across the street a year after. So he moved and still had to teach. One time the announcement speaker fell down almost hitting him and he calmly walked over to the office phone and said ‘hello, your PA speaker fell off the wall. I was up front teaching. Yes, it barely missed me. I felt it’s wind at my back, pushing me forward…like my fury.’ and hung up. He also asked in French if he had to be christ on the cross super loud when he found out how much we sucked at French and how much our education had totally failed us. He scared the shit out of everyone and I loved the dude, for social studies he just printed off like 1000 questions and borrowed out the schools classroom worth of laptops that never got borrowed said ‘you’re gonna be looking shit up online anyway in the future, so I may as well take a modern approach, here’s a sourcing guide, here’s every single piece of class work for the semester I’ll be grading my other classes, just come talk to me if you have questions, I’m not gonna do lectures or whatever’. Dude was awesome. Anyway, our final geography essay was to write one on the nature of competition, I hadn’t read jack shit for theory and had a real crude understanding of Marxism, doing research for this essay changed that and he took me aside later and told me my essay changed how HE thought about the subject he assigned and I made him able to understand Marxist theory after years of studying geography and not getting on board. Biggest feather in my cap ever. He was also an opera singer and would sing opera while we tried to work. Norman LeBlanc, you fucking ruled. Oh he also taught us about the French revolution and stuff cause he was baffled we didn’t learn French history along with the language. That dude ruled
god i love teachers like that, im grateful ive had many good and patient teachers in my life. I had an oprea singer teacher too! he sang at the end of the year, and yeah that dude sound extremely fucking cool, really went above and beyond! also extremely based of you! that must have been a killer essay!
