High Expectations Chinese Teacher

As you all know, my Chinese teacher is a bit of a raving dictator on steroids. On the first day of school, she started going on about how anything below an A- is unacceptable and if you get anything less, you will have to spend your lunchtimes with her. Everyone started freaking out because who wants to spend their lunch being berated by someone whose nostrils flare to the size of windpipes every time she shouts?

It was enough listening to her rant on and on about getting nothing less than an ‘A’ on our exams, but we had to sit there in the freezing cold while she was doing it. I don’t know if the Chinese teacher was raised by polar bears in the Antarctic or whatever because she’s always turning the air-con on to a temperature I’d like to call “So high you can’t feel your fingers and you think you’re going to get frost bite”.

One of the girls mustered up the courage to tell her that it was too cold and asked her whether she could turn the air-con off. Then the Chinese teacher shouted, “IT IS NOT TOO COLD, YOU GUYS ARE TALKING TOO MUCH IT IS MAKING ME HOT!”


I have no idea why our talking made her hot, it’s not like anyone said anything sensual. But nevertheless, she refused to turn the air-con off so we all had to sit there in the freezing cold for an hour while she kept yapping on about how we all “NEEDED TO GET AN A+ OR WE FAIL”.


What is up with Asian teachers and their high expectations?

The Chinese Teacher

I think my Chinese teacher needs anger management. She was on a detention-giving spree today where she gave people detention for vague crimes like ‘looking weird’ or ‘being bad’. If ‘looking weird’ or ‘being bad’ were crimes, we’d all get arrested. I mean, isn’t that what they invented the law for? To stop corrupted law enforcers from making biased judgments? I don’t think my Chinese teacher knows that because apparently, she’s still living in Imperial China where they beat people with sticks to make them confess for crimes they’ve never done.

The first detention was given to this guy who the Chinese teacher just hates for no reason. He was kind of moving his mouth so the Chinese teacher was like “WHY ARE YOU MURMURING?” and he was like, “Uh I wasn’t murmuring?”. Then she’s like “WHY ARE YOU BEING BAD? SIT OUTSIDE!”. So the guy starts packing up his stuff and putting them in his bag when she catches him putting something in his pocket so she’s like “WHAT DID YOU PUT IN YOUR POCKET?” and he’s like nothing. So she storms up to him, feels up his butt (this should count for sexual harassment) and pulls out an iPhone from his pocket. She’s really pissed at this point and starts barking, “WHY DID YOU LIE?!?!?!? FRIDAY DETENTION FOR LYING!”

Then after a few minutes of what seemed like peace, the Chinese teacher thinks that the two boys sitting in the front row are talking to each other. So she tells one of them off for provoking the other guy and sends him outside. But in reality, he wasn’t the one that was talking, it was someone else. The someone else felt bad for that guy being punished for something he did so he told the teacher that it was him who did the talking. And the Chinese teacher seemed really unsatisfied with this and started screaming, “WHY ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH? DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING BRAVE?” and the guy’s like, “I was just trying to be honest…” but before he could finish the Chinese teacher goes, “FRIDAY DETENTION FOR BEING HONEST!”
