Maths Teacher

I love maths. I'm good at it. To me, maths isn't boring. My new maths teacher ruined it for me. I wish I could set the genre as 'rant'.

You have to admit

That maths is pretty cool

But it all changed for me

When I moved to high school

They don't have separate groups

For those who are smart

Or for students who need extra support

I don't really like that part

I am good at maths

As well as several others in my class

But we find our current work too easy

We finish it too fast

My maths teacher is old

She looks at least fifty

Apparently she's been around for thirty years

And she's not very nifty

At first I thought she was okay

Until I asked her for assistance

My laptop couldn't connect to the WiFi

And this was her reply:

"I'm sorry but I can't

I don't know anything about this stuff"

When she said that

I thought it was enough

"I really think that

you should know how to fix your own computer"

That was a pretty rude

Comment from a maths tutor

I got it fixed anyway

Without her. On my own

But that's not the only reason why

I dislike her, I am not alone

She expects everyone

Even those not as good

To understand everything she explains

Though several have not understood

If someone asks a question

She'll answer very briefly

She seriously needs to elaborate

The student is too iffy

She doesn't explain things well

And she's is very boring

She took the fun out of maths

And left those who are knowledgeable snoring

Some of us need challenging

Because we have done this before

Our brain needs to be exercised

We need something more

I wish I had my old teacher

She was really cool

And we had separate maths classes

At my intermediate school

I wish I could change colleges

My parents don't like some of the staff

But how can I leave my friends?

I don't want to go down that path

Or at least could I change maths teachers?

Though that idea will never pass

I remember the days when I looked forward to maths

And loved the feeling when I stepped into class

I just had to put it out there.

I love maths so this poem upset me a bit. It sucks when you get a teacher that doesn't really care all that much but that's just something you're going to have to deal with I guess. Unless you really start struggling, in which case you might need to try get transferred into another class. My advice is make friends with the maths nerds, you won't regret it ;)

Goodness gracious today my mum found out that she's like the assistant of the HOD of Maths!
