RI seriously needs better teachers

alright, this is so unacceptable, apparently i got a F grade for this English blog. F is like, the lowest in class =.=

WARNING: text below are personal opinions, dont not view it if you're likely to get pissed off after reading

and when i asked the teacher (whom i shall not be bothered to name), she claims that i have GOOD content, but the TONE was wrong, and it was too narrow-minded =.= (this is refering to the play safe -sex- article, go read it if you want) and she says my tone was wrong and too aggressive, and very one-sided and simply trying to convince others that my opinion is right.

i mean, isnt that the point of writing? to put my point across to others? and basically what she is telling me by giving me a F is that, "because i do not agree with your opinion and your style of writing and i do not like your tone, therefore i'm going to fail you."

firstly, lets set the context right, it was a PERSONAL BLOG REFLECTION. since it is personal, it's up to me to write it to my personal style and preference right? simply because i disagree with the Singapore government's policy and gave my personal politically incorrect opinion, it is considered as a failure for the assignment? what rubbish =.= simply because she didn't like the way i write, the stuff i wrote, then she fail me for that, i highly doubt that it is justified.

secondly, the rubrics. in the rubrics, the areas that we're marked under are interpretation, blah blah blah, and there was NOWHERE that says "you're expected to write this reflection with a all nice kind and goody tone which will please the teacher and anyone who reads it, and it must be POLITICALLY CORRECT" this brings me back to my first point, the assignment wants us to give our personal thoughts and personal reflections, and yet, when i do that, i'm marked down for stating what i THINK in the way i think. does that actually make sense to anyone? the school might as well gives us a piece of work and just simply put there in the heading stating that we're suppose to give the RIGHT ANSWER THAT TEACHERS WANT, why the hell did they bother with the personal touch anyway? =.= at least that way i'll know by GIVING FALSE UNTRUE opinions of mine i'll be able to score better =/

thirdly, she talks about respect. she claims that i should respect her opinion due to the fact that she's a teacher and she is in the position of authority and to grade and mark my work, so i'll have to accept her marks. if she wants respect, she should question herself in the first place whether she deserves that respect. what we've learnt from being in the position of leadership, is that you do not gain respect because you're in the POSITION of authority, but you gain respect through your actions and words. she claims that she respects my opinion, yet when i speaks, she goes and interrupt me and says "shhhhhhh, your tone is wrong" =.= like whatever man, if she means what she says, shouldnt she just listen? she wants me to listen to her, yet she dont want to listen to me simply because IN HER OPINION she dislikes my tone =.= SO in the similar way, IN MY OPINION, i do not think she deserves my respect and i do not like her tone either, so does it mean that halfway through the lesson i should go "shhhhhh mdm, change your tone then continue teaching" or i should just simply refuse to listen and just sleep in her class??? that's the way it is according to her theory. and since that's how things works UNDER HER AUTHORITY, and since she is OF HIGHER AUTHORITY, then i've got nothing to say but to simply remain silent and accept my unjustified failure of the English blog and kiss my 3.80 goodbye =/
