My teacher is a douchebag
Why is my teacher such a douchebag? He's usually cool but he's been a real bitch lately. Before break he got mad because we were laughing. He gave us a project but didn't explain ANY of it. On Monday, only the students who never talk did it. I'm wondering how the hell they knew about it. Then today my friend was throwing stuff at me, so I pickup up the pen cap he threw at me & shot it to the garbage can, then my teacher kicks me out & gives me a pass to the gym. WTF? Meanwhile people eat & use their phones in class. Wh don't they get kicked and given a pass to the cafeteria or Radioshack? And of course I'm going to fail any quiz/test that covers what I missed that day. So now I'm going to be a smartass in his class, and I could care less about the work. I feel like putting a tampon in his mailbox. I only have like 4 teachers who aren't annoying douchebags. WTH should I do? I was thinking about changing my schedule but err...

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Teachers aren't just for talking at you in class. If you don't understand a project or want to catch up on missed work, try asking. Just walk up after class and say, "Hey, I didn't understand ____, could you help?" And if they bitch at you for wanting notes like college professors do, you ask a neighbor and copy their notes.
Honestly, who knows why he's acting irritable. Maybe he's in the middle of a messy divorce. Maybe he hasn't been getting much sleep lately. Maybe his kids are fighting with him. My point is that he does have a life outside of school, and a million and one things could happen in that life to alter his mood. If it really bothers you, ask him about (nicely and politely) about it.
Though, to me, it sounds as though very few of his student respect him enough to pay attention. Eating, using phones, talking/laughing in class, throwing things (even at the trash)...all of these are marks of disrespect. I don't know why he scolds you but ignores the others. Maybe he's given up on them. If half the class is misbehaving every day, what's he supposed to do? Kick them all out?
Being in your class does sound like a horrible experience, but not because of the teacher. I've been in classes where 90 percent of my classmates misbehaved. The teachers all turned into angry Hulk-nerds due to pent-up rage. It sucked when the teachers took it out on everybody, but I generally felt more like sticking tampons in my classmates' mailboxes than my teacher's. Just think about it... How would you feel in his place, if you were trying to teach students and half of them were texting and eating shit and talking to each other?
