2. Annoying things about history teachers:
They make you think too hard, stay awake in class, and do homework!!!
They say that grades don’t count when everyone makes an “A” because it was too easy!!!
They say grades do count when everyone makes an “F” because you should have studied!!!
They say that the grades on the last test were “really bad”, but that was only because they don’t know how to teach!!!
They make you read, and memorize stupid quotes (normally from dead people)!!!
They make you remember dates when things happened (normally before you were born)!!!
They make you find places on a map that you didn’t even know existed!!!
They make you answer questions about everything!!!
They always expect you to “think extra hard”, “give extra details”, and “use past knowledge”!!!
They never show good movies in class, they only force you to watch stupid video clips about things you could care a less about!!!

3. Annoying things about history teachers (Part 2):
They only show stupid videos to avoid having to actually work that day!!!
They always want you stop what you are doing and listen to them, I mean who do they think they really are??? My momma don’t even talk to me like that!!!
They always call on people who haven’t answered yet during class, I mean don’t they realize that I am trying to TEXT and that I am not paying attention to them!!!
They always like to throw away things done by the students to prove a point, but don’t they realize that if they are going to throw it away, I am going to stop doing what they ask me to do!!!
They always act they know everything, including stuff about YOU!!!
They make you ask what things really mean, because they don’t know either!!!
They want us to ask questions but when we do they just give us stupid answers, or tell us what we want to know is not important!!!
They always want us to raise our hands, I mean what’s the deal with that???
They make us wait for everything we need to do, like go to the bathroom, get water, or even to go ask a friend an important question!!!
They expect when they ask us something we need to answer right then or else we get in trouble!!!
