Miss D!

Well really, who ELSE could the Person of the Day be?

Things have been really shit over the last two days, our entire year group is really tense and aggravated and easily pissed off by each other because of what happened on Parents Evening (I find it funny that Olivia missed this whole thing and has no idea what shit has been going down). But they can’t have been more crappy for anyone than Miss D.

Yeah, okay, Mr N’s clearly a really good English teacher and he’s got the entire class not only engaged in the book and the class discussion which we only have once every 5 chapters with Miss D, but making NOTES for God’s sake, but MISS D! It’s the god damn PRINCIPLE of the thing! That Miss D has been stuck with a random class of Year Eights she has never taught before and doesn’t know the capability of, or where they are in the course, because three people managed to reduce her to tears is probably the most incredibly wrong thing that’s happened in this school since I got here. And there have been a LOT of wrong things.

It’s not like it was Miss Mackie. It takes a lot to break Miss D, and it was unnecessary to do so. Yeah, I know I’ve complained about her in the past, and I still believe the things I said, she’s still a fairly useless teacher and has been nasty to me in the past, but no one deserves this and it totally sucks. Maybe it feels like I’m making this personal but if you make a woman cry in front of her colleagues and students in a room also full of strangers, during a SCHOOL EVENT, then it bloody well is personal. This isn’t just me being angry at the people who did this. This is me feeling genuinely sorry for a total victim whose dead cold wit and good taste in books I am already missing after 2 lessons without her.
