I felt that I could relate a lot with this story. The first couple days of college are terrifying. The teachers sure can do a good job of scaring the crap out of you the first day. Most of the time this doesn't last but in some cases like this story it can. This story may have been a little bit of an exaggeration of how scary teachers can be, (at least I have never has a teacher chuck pens and pencils at me) but it still shows the point at how overwhelming school can be and how hard students are really willing to work to get approval from their teachers. This story also made me think of the point that yes school may be hard but at least i am able to understand what the teachers are saying. I could not imagine going to a school in a different country and only knowing bits and pieces of what the teacher was saying.
Please leave a comment to tell me what you think!!!
School can definitely be overwhelming! And I agree that students can be very dedicated to approval, especially at a new school/class.
