Reminds me of one of my elementary school English teachers. We were all given a blank hardcover book and had to make a story with illustrations. Mine was called “The Loose Kitty”. Every page basically had the kitty on the loose in different areas of a city, running into other animals that had some rhyming. I spent so much time with the art, proofing it, etc. This teacher took hard red ink and strikes through loose and put “lost” ON EVERY PAGE. I tried to tell her no it is loose because EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK related to being “on the loose”. Nope. Got like a C- on that thing.
Am I still sour about it 30 years later? Yes, I still loose my shit.
to be fair she probably understood the concept of a kitten on the loose, but wanted to nudge you away from filling your book with innuendo without having to explain the concept of an un-tight and/or readily available vagina
Its because teachers hate the idea that a smart student isn’t enthusiastic about the topic they’re teaching and that they’d do clearly what is their bare minimum and then mentally drop out. Its insecurity.
My music teacher was pretty angry that I clearly only picked the subject because I didn’t want to take art or PE.
I wasn’t there due to any passion for it, did the absolute minimum, and the only way it’s affected my life is that I keep thinking about how annoyed he was.
Eh, that’s the system so I can’t fault you. But specialty electives like that usually have limited seats - your seat may have displaced someone much more enthralled with the subject.
Also I guarantee they sucked at it and made everyone else sound worse by association. Childhood visual art classes are way easier than music anyway, it doesn’t even have to look like anything. It’s extremely obvious when someone doesn’t know what they’re doing in a music class.
I would also be completely confused and offended for the rest of my life if a teacher had said something like that to me

Not all who wander are lost, bitch.
Sound’s like your an pour loster.
What a bitch! I never thought the comments in this post would raise my blood pressure
This one hurt for even me to read

I had a ton of teachers like this.

Well, music is kind of a team sport, I’d be pissed if one of the percussionists could never hit the damn triangle at the right time.
