Not necessarily. Back in high school, one of my English teachers gave me a failing mark on a story (that we wrote in-class about a specific theme/character/situation SHE gave us) because she said I plagiarized it. Even though she had seen me writing it in class. The reason for her claim was that I only had one grammatical error in the whole thing and I "couldn't possibly be writing at that level" at my age. Some teachers are just stupid, end of story.

One of my English teachers actually marked a word wrong just because he didn't know it. He wouldn't let me prove I was right, either.

Uh, no. My mom is a teacher, and I've talked to and heard conversations of her "teacher friends". These things DO happen, unfairly enough, a lot of teachers get tired of students, and if he/she hates you, you aren't gonna get any luck. But I'm not saying it happens ALL the time, I can be wrong. For example, my brother's friend was valedictorian, and he wasn't smarter than my brother, he and his dad are just into politics their teachers were into, and that's what got him a good grade. Other than being a kiss up, too. It's extremely unfair, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Anyone who messed with my art is going to get messed up. Fair and simple. FYL, OP.

way to make an fml into homework there

True that! Art teachers these days are, for the most part, worthless and completely out there. I don't know what it is about becoming an art teacher, but something about it makes them crazy...

Art teachers are whack because art's supposed to be about expression and being unique... So usually hippies or crack addicts (or both) are hired to be art teachers.

um actually no, they aren't. crack heads and hippies dont go to college for 8 years to get their degrees, because a.) it takes too much time, b.) it costs a lot of money, and c.) NO SCHOOL WOULD HIRE A CRACK HEAD. and just because someone smokes weed doesnt make them a hippie. and art teachers are the cooliest, all you have to do in an art class is try, thats it. and this fml is obviously fake because that is just un heard of, unless your teacher came to school drunk and was repeatedly hit in the head over night, that just wouldn't happen.

it was a joke.

Ok, hotpockets, you sound so dumb you make my head hurt. The sarcasm goes right over your head. Of course, art teachers are the "cooliest"[sic], but despite your "un heard"[sic] of accusation, I actually know a good number of hippies and crack heads that have graduated from Harvard, Yale, and Duke. They paid their tuition by selling crack and weed, but inevitably they got hooked on it, so they switched their major to Art. Two of them are now art teachers at Morehouse, and the others have a rep of being the "cooliest"[sic] teachers that show up drunk and repeatedly hit in the head "over night"[sic] at the preschools in which they teach.

Hotpockets is probably in the art field as well as I am, they prob took it the wrong way bc we hear shit all the time about how art is 'bsing you way through college,' uh, no.. and any dipshit that was stupid enough to take an art class for some leisure time and a 'easy A' will tell you otherwise too.

Let me reword what I said, I didnt read it right, I tried to edit that stupid thing but time ran out...You dont just get in art class and 'try' and breeze through unless you have a teacher whos a fn idiot. You have assignments in art just like any other class, you dont just splatter paint on a board and get an A, I get so tired of these dipshits getting in art class looking for an 'easy A' and some leisure time.

Agreed that art professors aren't necessarily hippies or crackheads, but "you just have to try" in an art class? Not necessarily. I made that mistake once. I ended up with a terrible grade, despite putting in all I had, spending 12 hours in the studio on my final project, and meeting with my teacher privately to ask how I could improve, because my art was too "contrived," my artistic talent wasn't good enough, and my style wasn't abstract enough to meet her artistic approval.
