She was really the most irritating sort who would he a perfect mate for your teacher. Through an entire school year, she must had spent no more than two hours addressing the subject of the class. The rest of the time she would lecture to us about various causes that she supported or would lecture to us about the way we should live our lifes. When she sent us to the school library, she would divide the class into two parts. One part would go to the library while the other she would tell how to treat the people in the other part. Latter she would send the second part to the library and lecture to the first part of the class how to treat the other. The advice to the two parts of the class would be contradictory so that it would lead to conflicts. She would assigned each student different sets of books to read and to do reports on. She assigned me twelve books to read and report on. I did, then when I finished the last report, she told me that I had earned no credits for doing it, claiming that it was not an assignment, it was just a suggestion so no credits were earned. The result of this is that thanks to her "suggestion", I lost 75% of the school year for those sort of assignments, so I had to work extra hard for the rest of the year, to get just a "C" for that catagory of assignments. I don't know how many of the other students that she did that to. She would have us debate the various controvercial subjects of the day. We were assigned to support one side or the other. Afterwords, we were told to argue in favor of our assigned positiones as well as we can, reguardless of how we felt about the position. For days after the debate she would hold arguments made by us tht she didn't like against us as thought we really were supporting that side of the issue. When she was irritated by a store where she shopped, she organized the students of each of her classes into her personal army of protestors. Those who did not attend the protest demostrations were put on her personal revenge list. One time she claimed to not have enough money to pay for her utility bills, she demanded donations from the students. That was a test for more extreme version of financial support by the students who were from 13 to 15 years old. Near the end of the school year, she claimed that she needed money to pay for her vacation, and used various methods to extract the money from her students. And those were the more decent items about her. That and everything else about her irritated me. Pangor
