"I'm not slow. I just savor every stitch"

Twitchysticks!

Dear Student
January 20, 2006

I do not have to like you or respect you simply because you are in my class. When you arrived back in August you had a 100 in my mental book. Since then you have ignored my lessons and disturbed others as you talked excessively. Some of the subjects you discussed included your bowel movements, your mucous and other quite unladylike things (honestly, didn't your mother teach you anything about being a lady? It boggles my mind that you are a cheerleader.) You say unkind things to people you claim as friends. Perhaps you are joking, but be careful. One day someone may take offense at your words...even if you are playing. So yes, perhaps my feelings for you do border on strong dislike...I do think hate is a strong word, but in this case I really wonder if perhaps that is the right word.


Yes, after consulting my dictionary, I find that hate is correct as I do "feel hostility or animosity toward" you. I also find that you are distasteful to me. Does this disturb me? Yes. It does bother me that I feel this for another human being, especially one that has been absent as much as you have...do I even know you well enough? A younger human being for whom I should feel concern. A child who (perhaps) needs kindness. Yes, I am very bothered. But I'm just not sure that your behavior is a "cry for kindness." You have so many friends. You are, you must admit, part of a group of students who are beautiful (truly you are all very lovely girls and handsome gentlemen.) So many girls admire you. I will try to forgot your comment this week-end. I will try to put it behind me and allow you a clean slate Monday. But please understand that I can no longer be fair and impartial. Believe me, I try to be, but I am human. And that is why you were able to hurt my feelings. Adults are not stone hearted. It hurts when they reach out and it is rejected.
