sooooooo lemme actually give y'all the run down. I got in trouble with my culinary teacher bc I was eatin my lunch in her class, we were literally making muffins.... I was having a pretty good day until 6th hr, but yk. The first time she came over she told me to put my food away and I didn't, the second time she came she threatened that she would write a disciplinary referral. I put it away, but I was pissed, like she had an attitude and all, like I BE SOOOOO FUCKIN SICK OF HER ATTITUDE, and this isn't my first time eating lunch during her class. I hate going to the cafeteria with reason Her bitch ass had the nerve to write an email home about it being a distraction and could cause cross contamination... my food was fully cooked and I don't understand how that would cause that. I don't understand why the teacher felt the need to even be that mad.
I wrote an email back to her and some other admin people around 5 ish. My dad read it and said it was unacceptable to think that sending that email was okay. He said justifying not "following" direction was wrong as well. We had a whole argument ending me in crying for like 5 minutes, then he wanted to act like evth was cool.. AND he wants me to apologize, I'm not comfortable with that because I lwk don't feel the need to
Here's the email:
Good Evening,
In this email, I will use "I feel" statements to avoid any further argument or disagreement. My mom forwarded your email to me asking what the email was about.
First, thank you Ms. Joseph for teaching me so much within these 2 semesters. I really appreciate your time and effort you put into your job. Secondly, I feel that the little tiff we had today could have been avoided. I feel like when class started, you had an attitude. My "WOO" at the beginning of class wasn't meant as an interruption or distraction. It was because I was excited for today's lab and trying to show you, and maybe put you in a better mood. Yet, you looked at me with disdain or maybe I took it out of proportion.
I have no idea what you're goin through, but in these past few months, I feel that the attitude that you've possessed is slightly unnecessary. I understand being upset because a class isn't listening or turning in work on time, but taking out on other students I don't understand.
I have a hard time believing that "outside" food causes a distraction in class. I know for a fact that when other students have "outside" food during instruction or labs there isn't anything said to them. As you've said in a past email, this semester, I am one of the few students that actually pays attention during class. Same to say with labs, I am the "leader" of the group and complete most tasks. Today, the batter was made and muffins put in the oven before any other kitchen. We HAD free time, so that's why I decided to warm up my food and eat.
The explanation for eating in class: This whole week I've been in Ms. Belich's room trying to complete a project for Design. I usually don't go to lunch because, 1) I'm in a meeting with a teacher, 2) it's too much to go to the lunch room (mentally), or 3) I'm completing work in another class.
In the beginning of each semester, you've asked students in the google form, what makes a good teacher? I felt like my answer was short and to the point, "Patience, Understanding," etc. I don't feel like those qualities were showcased today.
Another thing, I don't understand how cross contamination could have occurred when my food was already made, and to perfection I dare say. Explaining that would have also been a choice before the situation got to this point.
Once again, I have no idea what you're going through, but I feel like this issue could have been avoided without attitude and threats, and by using gentle redirection, understanding, and patience. Not asking you to hold my hand either, this is just my preference.
Questions, comments, concerns, or if you would like to have another conversation, please let me know.
ANYWAYSSSS, I applied for another college today, and started applying for another job today, that was a highlight.
BUY YOUR LIFE, GOODNIGHT
