It's Official, Gays and Me don't mix [The Sat. Class results]

It's the injusticed class and I vs my gay teacher. Geezzz.... how many disgruntled gays must innocent I go through?

And although we got one good thing about it (we are finally getting to know our grades), we left there in frustration due to his attitude.

We laid our cards as gently as possible, handling it in a calm manner and citing the "injusticed" instances --- just like Fr. Javellana wanted it. We even omitted some points of our argument to comply with the peaceful and professional nature we wanted.

However, he took it, should I say, pretty personally (as seen in his twitching cheekbone - a sign that he's angry.) From his mild-mannered persona, he transformed into a shield-bearing bitch (sorry for the lack of better term).

What he did:

He turned us into grade-hungry individuals who sought an A. We are creative writers, we don't base our life around high grades.

He said that we should be ashamed at ourselves by bringing this up. This is our right to complain in a professional way -- read the Magna Carta

He kept berating us, hitting us with harsh words and tones --- especially to our spokespeople as if everything was their fault.

He never considered any of our explanations, saying that "everything was closed" as soon as he gave some sort of explanation (some of them he magically came up with. --- if the entire class doesn't know about it, then 100%, he never mentioned it, yet he kept on insisting that he did.)

He even said that "I'm not getting paid here to teach this class." We give him that, thanks for the effort, but we are not paying the Ateneo to give us teachers who don't know how to be teachers and who have a terrible attitude (that turned all the terror teachers in the Ateneo into meek rabbits.)

He was on defense mode all the time, never admitted once that he "might" have done something wrong.

We didn't fight back due to the fact that everything we said fell on deaf ears. Our spokesmen kept on repeating that "we were not attacking [him]", but he was already worked up to the point that he seems to think that he is the God of Basic Graphic Design.

I was ready to say, "The class' main problem about you is your attitude! That's what you're showing right now!"

However, I didn't want to turn this into a mindless, bizarre mudslinger. (Deja vu for me, this was my same action back then in the case of the Sophomore/Junior Forums. I just kept quiet even if they were provoking me to fight back.)

This battle is not just for us anymore because it is pretty late in the school year. This is for all the people who might have him as a mentor one way or another --- like in case he chooses to teach again. Let us be the guinea pigs for the next generation.

So what do we do? We have to report the results of the talk to Fr. Javellana. And we already set an appointment. Good luck to us. I hope that everything goes well.

Blessed be.
