Overworked, Underpaid, and Incredibly Stressed

Today in one of my classes, a teacher calmly asked a student to move a drink away from a table that had computers on it and put it in his backpack.  It is a well-known rule that we cannot eat or drink in the computer lab because the computers can be damaged by liquid.  Another student had already taken a waterfall from it –which is drinking without letting your lips touch it by pouring it in to your mouth—during class and she wanted it to be put away.

In response, the student got really angry really fast and verbally threatened the teacher. The teacher told him that if he did not calm down that she would have to report the threat.   The student continued his defiance by saying that if she did report him, bad things would happen to her. The student then walked out of the class.  The teacher asked him to come back inside but he refused.  The student came in when he felt like it and then the student yelled at the teacher for some time. Finally the student calmed down because the teacher stayed calm, but he kept on talking and being defiant.

This event interfered with my education.  This teacher is a good one, who cares about her students.  Other students should take a stand and behave better in all their classes.  If they did, life would be so much easier in school for teachers and students who want to learn.  I am so tired of students who misbehave and distract the class.  I love Webster and think the teachers here are great.  If other students behaved better, they would be able to teach and we, the students, would be able to be even more successful.
