In Social Studies, way back in the 3rd grade, we had to write a short report on the Statue of Liberty. I somehow lost mine, and for whatever reason, I managed to get a A+, and the lost assignment was never mentioned again. Granted, it was near the end of the year, and everyone wanted to get school over with, but still....

I have a twitter, if you're interested in stalking me.
School teachers expect all the children to be perfect and well behaved. Well, I'm not the type to be well behaved. I can be, if I feel like it, and most of the time I am nowadays, yet I still get in trouble for "shouting during testing", when it wasn't a shout, nor were we testing at the time I apparently "shouted". But I will still regret giving my teachers a hard time, and giving them a bad first impression to start of the school year... it's like if I do one thing wrong on the first day, I should automatically be under careful watch, my God...
Last year, at my old school, my grade 2 teacher asked everyone to empty their desks. One of the kids' desks was so unorganized, she flipped the desk over, screamed at the little kid about being so unorganized and messy, and she got a lot of complaints from everyone afterwards. (And yet, she's still a teacher? WHY?) Years ago, when she was my teacher, she said that the sun revolves around the earth and when I tried to correct her, she screamed in my face about how SHE was right because SHE was the teacher and SHE knows EVERYTHING because SHE is the adult and I'm just a stupid little kid!!!
Teachers that try WAY too hard to be "down with the kids" and turn into walking cringe machines. People need to realize that if you have to try too hard, you've already failed.

Both, my 8th grade and 9th grade teacher were like that, yet they seemed to be the only interesting teachers I've ever had.
Pushing for good behaviour is fine and dandy. Expecting it, particularly with young, hyperactive children, is foolish. That is, of course, when we're talking about schools' definitions of good behaviour, when it is considered to be 7 year olds sitting quietly as an adult teaches them a subject they don't even know very well themselves.
I think I speak for more than just myself when I say that conventional methods of teaching children and asserting that their relative values in society will be put down to numbers on spreadsheets is not the right way to go about it. Currently, schools take young children and essentially tell them to suppress just about everything they are, because doing what children of that age do is considered bad.
As for being perfect... No, there is no reason for teachers to expect students to be perfect. That isn't even something all teachers do, only the terrible ones.
Anyway, the following situation:
One year ago: I won't teach you this now, you don't really need it until next year.
This year: I won't go over this, you learned it last year.
My worst nightmare.Last year, in English we had to exchange essays and give each other feedback. Then correct our essays and explain how you feel about their feedback. I got a partner who could barely write in English.
There were 50+ spelling mistakes for a only a very short 2 paragraph essay, many were repeated misspellings of 1st grade level words. And the fact they had access to spellcheck is even stranger. Awful grammar, horrible flow, every sentence had issues. The feedback I got was only two sentences, no suggestions or anything. And I somehow had to create a paragraph on how they helped me.
Group projects are a complete waste of time and pure frustration to me. And you get those people who make you do all of it, then they get all of the credit for your work for just sitting their staring at the ceiling.

Let me know if my posts are helpful or if you like them. That's what I'm here for.
I am currently lurking more than I am posting. I haven't gone anywhere.
Tell me about it. A project for my class this semester required about 40 hours of work in a week split among three people - one didn't understand the material at all, and the other one we never even met.

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,

Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.

Surprisingly enough, they taught well.
But those are teachers that can naturally be cool, they don't have to painfully force it.

In any case teachers don't really expect their pupils to behave well; they just want them all to shut up to make the dreary depressing job they chose for whatever reason easier.
Ah, I see what you mean. I suppose so, then. I was thinking more from an educational standpoint.

Actually I meant it as as in how children should actually just learn to be well behaved. There's flaws in the system and it could be much better but these things are necessary for wider reasons than just making the teachers' lives easier.
I feel like the problem to me is chastising young children for being bouncy and enthusiastic about life rather than maths, as if that's bad, and good is just sitting still. I suppose that's more of a gripe with the mess of a system than anything else, though.

Teachers are either cool or serious one that tries to force the other thing fails terribly.
There are some teachers that forget you got a perfect score on homeworks,tests and always go to school. and if the group of the messy ones sit in front or aside you it always ends up with that one getting problems.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move
I kid you not, every single time I have to work together with someone and we split up the work, there's always something that goes wrong.
Their part of the work was not finished
Their part of the work contains lots of spelling mistakes, as if they wanted to make it as fast as possible.
Their part's content/lay-out was by far not good enough for the teacher's standards
As I myself am not laid-back when it comes to overall quality of schoolwork and I certainly want it to be finished on time, this is very frustrating for me.
In a math class once, we had to split into groups to calculate the cost of planning a party. It would have been fun, had the group allowed me to do any actual work.
