my computer studies teacher is one of lamest people out there.
He simply just can't teach a class.
Most lessons are spent with us all talkin, mainly coz he hasn't set out any work, or explained it. He'd have an overhead up, and he wouldn't say anything bout it, so we'd pretty much ignore it. now until recently, i "tried" to learn, but i've just given up. this guy is so pathetic.

He gave us this assessment for Q-basic, which goes towards our year 10 certificate.

Problem?

Well the problem is, he hasn't taught us Q-basic.

His idea of teaching us Q-basic is writing commands on the board like

CLS
PRINT
COLOR

etc....

without hardly explaining how they are used, or including examples, etc.

Most of the class just ended up copying code off the net to complete their assessment.

ok now here's the bit i got pissed about.

10 minutes into the lesson.. jeez well it wasn't even a lesson, he hadn't started anything.
we're all talking, mainly coz we're all bored shitless waiting for this loser to start the class.

eventually he speaks up, and says to everyone, "whoever wants to learn, come to the front."

now i was sitting on the 3rd row, on the side, with a few mates. I asked him, "why do we have to move to the front to learn? we shouldn't have to move anywhere to learn"

he didnt answer

i asked him again, in a kind of sarcastic tone.

still no answer.

he started talking to 3 or 5 kids sitting at his desk, and for christ sake, i shouldn't have to go to his desk to learn.

i eventually gave up, and pulled out a plastic spoon i still had with me from lunch. i started sharpening the handle bit against the brickwork. no noise or anything annoying, i was just plain bored.

i'd actually made it nice and sharp

10 mins before the lesson he asked me to stop. i was pretty annoyed with him, and i told him "no, im not hurting anyone, or disturbing the class."

bell rang, we left.

now what i wanna know is, what the hell can i do? jeez i hate this guy. he couldn't teach a bunch of preschoolers even if his life depended on it.

Then today.. what the fuck does he do? give me a god damn detention for

"poor behaviour, which included damage to a wall."

THATS TOTAL FVCKING CRAP! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DAMAGE A WALL WITH A PLASTIC SPOON?!?!?

It's also very obvious how computer illiterate he is, especially after i got his user/pass off him for the whole fucking network.
only problem is, i dont wanna use his user/pass until i fully know what im doing, and how to cover up every move i make, and excuses for being on a node.

School computers currently run win2000 pro.

now from what i know, (through my art teacher letting me access her account, to use photoshop, lol), the school intranet webpage can be accessed, student records, and a variety of software.

Feed me with your ideas.

Ha.

That would raise a *few* questions.

Seriously, though, the think that could probably get him fired most easily is just how totally useless he is.

File a report on how much he sucks your ass, they'll have to examine the claim, and if he is really useless they will probably decree him so.

Reminds me one time our school had nothing but archimedeses, our IT teacher retired, so who did they hire? Someone who only really knew PCs. What a master stroke. I ended up teaching him in their use and solving more of the other students problems.

Such fun.

The trimester ended and enough people had said something, that he was no longer teaching the next quarter and we all had B+'s waiting. Yay

As for his username/password I wouldn't do anything major, but thats just me. If you are on a WAN, then you could use it to print random documents to other campus printers. or just reconfigure his default printer to be in some really inconvenient location. heh heh heh.

I dunno, then maybe print some 1337 pr0n if you want to get him fired. You may have to actually do this from his comp, or at least its address so that he will have nobody to blame.

But seriously though, I would suggest having a talk to your year adviser, if you can get a group together (say 2 or three of you) it will make your case even stronger. Make sure you point out first that you weren't sure what to do, how to approach the situation (which is true since you asked) then explain how you think this teacher is not taking your education seriously. Also think about other stuff, does your school have a proper comp studies teacher or is this guy it? (from the sound of it, win2kpro machines, your school don't have funding problems). Also tell your year adviser that you would also like to talk to the deputy proncipal about it as well as this is a serious thing and should be a little formal.

Make sure you don't tell anyone that you have their lusername and password, and never use them. this is just bad for you and wont help your case.

If this process doesnt rectify the situation tell your perants and try to make them understand that this is the level of education that _they_ are paying for and how all you want to do is learn yadda yadda...and ask them to go to the school and complain to the principal, this is going to produce a result if anything.

make sure you ask not to be named to the teacher.

umm cant think of anything else.

btw which school you go to?

People ask me to fix their computer. I do in 5 seconds.
They say "You think your good don't you".
I say "I know I'm good". People always ask stupid questions.

all i have to do is learn how to use the admin tools.. which i can't really do unless i log in to his account.

reman, hehe well i can't really tell you that can i? hehe for all i know u could be some guy from the dept of education out to bust me :P

but i can tell you which skool i used to go to... freeman highschool in bonnyrigg... i had perhaps one of the best computer teachers i knew of. He actually knew what he was talking about, and was able to get across explanations on the subject, whether it be visual demonstations, or whatever.

anyways, i did happen to see the computers co-ordinator today, because i hadn't written out the whole paragraph that was on the overhead on what <html>, <head>, <body>, etc is, and i had only written out a *much simpler* summary, which explained the whole god damn thing in less that 2 sentences. we were then supposed to go and type up a html document after we had done that. i did the document, then the teacher came and told me off that i hadn't finished writting what was on the overhead.

my arguement was, i understand html, i know how it works, so i wrote what i know to be a much simpler way of explaining it, and i had demonstrated my knowledge of this by completing the document.

that wasn't good enough, so he sent me to the computers co-ordinator, and i told him what happened, and he doesn't seem to care, he just basically told me to copy it down, regardless of whether i know it or not.
thing is, my teacher hadn't told us to copy it down, or anything, so how was i to know?

grrrrr...

anyways, its 11:15pm, i just got home from work, and i got school tommorrow, so i'll finish this off tommorrow afternoon hopefully if this gets anymore interest.
