Fellow students, have you ever wanted to know what your teacher was thinking while they stared menacingly at you from across the room during class? And teachers, don’t you want to know the things that your students dislike the most about your class so you can, possibly, maybe… just change it up?

Below, you will find messages from your pals, both teachers and students. We gathered these messages from a Google form and Gmail. So… enjoy!

Teachers:

Mr. Perkins – Doing homework from other classes while in my class

It starts to early.

Teachers not putting homework on On Campus and saying, the homework is on On Campus.

When friends talk about a secret SO loudly that everybody hears and asks to know what it is but then the friends are just like oh it’s nothing when it was obviously something.

Everything has to be “fair”.

NOT BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE PARTNERS!!

Teachers assuming all we do “nowadays” is go on our phones, and not talk. Ughhhh
