She loves FDR too! All the welfare presidents she really likes on top of Truman and Obama. I don't like some of Truman's ideas. He is the only Missouri president, and he was given some very tough decisions. One of the main reasons many students don't like this teacher is because she is a liberal in an area full of stereotypical Conservatives. I am one of them. She forces her liberal views on us in class. Not many people like to hear how good it was that Obama got re-elected.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis lesson, she didn't explain the submarines very well. I'll say that. I didn't try to correct her too much. I didn't even correct her when she said that sonar was used to freak out people in submarines. The only thing I did was watch the video and toss in a comment or two. I did help her out when she was trying to explain the Thermal Layer, but for the most part, I didn't pay attention because it was slightly annoying. I'm not saying the Russians didn't do anything good. The Russians were the ones who held back from firing the nuke from B-59. That other post I made about this was more or less just a rant to blow off some steam. The part about me correcting her a couple of times during the WW2, WW1, and Korean War chapters is true. I have only corrected her probably 6 times this year. 3 of which did not actually correct, just help explain. I haven't done that in a while actually. I helped explain some submarine stuff there...but that's about it recently.
It wasn't exactly Ballistic. It was just a word that I thought I'd put in there. A more accurate term would be "angry" i guess. It wasn't part of a lesson that she said that. Another thing, I don't try to question her lessons. The questions I ask are honest questions. There are some things that I just don't know and that she apparently either doesn't know, or, she doesn't want to answer me. I'll give an example. During the WW2 chapter, when we were talking about the Japanese invasion of Asia, I asked her how the Japanese invaded China and about how the Japanese treated the Chinese. I really don't know a whole lot about the Japanese in Indochina, China, and all those other countries. When I asked the question, she just looked and said "That's a good question" and didn't make any effort to answer me. She had the means to do so, but did not. During the Korean War chapter, she had us looking up Conspiracies online. I found a big CIA thing about the War and the stuff she was currently teaching us. I showed it to her and was asking questions. She just said "that's really cool" and didn't answer any of my questions. When she doesn't answer my questions, she has that same semi-sarcastic tone.
I'm guessing that she just doesn't like me. That, and I can get carried away in my rants pretty easily. I don't go ballistic, but when somebody insults the military I'm not exactly happy about it. I get sick of seeing all the "#$#(*& The Troops" and all. Sometimes, I just have to tell those people that these are the real heroes and these people should not be overlooked. Veterans don't get the treatment that they should be getting these days. When somebody says that nobody cares about them, it sends me into the "These people are heroes and they don't get the treatment that they deserve" rant and that singers who OD on drugs shouldn't get that much media attention. I can get into a pretty good rant sometimes about the media. I'm just a stereotypical Pro-American, Pro-Life, young person sometimes. I will admit that I don't always think before I speak. Not everything I say has been thoroughly processed in my head. What sounds good in my head doesn't always end up good out loud.
You have to remember that I'm still young and still have a LOT to learn.
You guys are much older than me and have more experience with life and the world.
