One of the most underestimated ways to send a teacher into a total frenzy is by simply doing something we have been doing since we were the age of two. Talking is something most of us do not think bothers a teacher so we feel like we must do it like we just figured out how yesterday. However, after questioning several teachers

Another thing students do that seems to infuriate teachers deals with our preparation for their class or should I say lack there of any preparation. This is something with which we could all relate if the phrase were to be reworded to say, not studying or doing the homework assigned. Now, I can personally vouch for all students from the beginning of school to every student that will ever be because I know that no student would ever not do his/her homework or study for a test. Most of the time when we appear in class without the assignment, it is merely because we forgot. A bad student would remember that they had homework, not do it, and then not attend class the next day because of it, but I know that there never has been or never will be a bad student. I know that some teachers will say that forgetting is no excuse, but we are not making up an excuse this time. The other problem is that all teachers are so beautiful or handsome that sometimes we find ourselves frolicking in a field of daisies with the teacher and simply do not comprehend that an assignment has been given. I know that I am guilty of this one too, but how am I supposed to control my subconscious? If they would just hire teachers that were old and ugly, I would not have a problem nor would any other student. When I asked the teachers, “What is something you hate about the way students prepare for your class?” I received an answer that did not dumbfound me. The majority of the teachers replied with a comment like, “Students don’t read.” Now this is not the case. Students read every day. For instance, today first thing this morning, I read the back of the cereal box while I was sitting at breakfast. Students read all day, every day. I mean how else would we be able to enlighten ourselves if we did not read. So, it is not that students do not read. It is what the students are assigned to read that is the problem. Most of the time, teachers say something like, “For tomorrow, read pages one through six hundred and sixty-six.” That is what students like to call an overload. It would be one thing if the material was interesting, but most of the time, the stuff reads like a history book or in some cases, it is a history book. I do not think I have ever made it all the way through a reading assignment without falling asleep at least once. So if teachers want us to start reading the material they assign, then they should make assignments like forty pages of the best comic book a student can find or if they have to be stubborn, the assignment should be something like read pages one through two for tomorrow. When I made this suggestion, all of the teachers looked at me like I was crazy. So, the second best way to make sure that premature gray hairs appear on a teacher’s head is to never be prepared for class.
