Things you wish you could say

I saw this plaque in a catalog:

You beat me to it. That's what I get for finishing the thread before posting.

Maybe if it's soooooooooooooo difficult to keep up with grading, you should GIVE FEWER ASSIGNMENTS (I understand that grading papers is difficult, but this one teacher gives more homework than any other and tells us over an over how she can't keep up with grading)

Maybe if going over homework takes up too much class time, you should ASSIGN LESS HOMEWORK

They are using it. They're using it to keep their skull from imploding.

While I completely agree, sometimes teachers are required(depends on the district and subject) to give out a certain amount of homework. A lot of school boards and boards of education feel that the school will get a better grade from state testing if they hand out more homework. I'm not excusing it, just explaining it

You have the entire park to do yoga in. Why is your group blocking the middle of the parking lot and making people turn around and go down another lane to avoid you?!

Understandable, however, this teacher gives more homework than any other teacher in both subjects that she teaches, which would ordinarily be mildly irritating but fine, but the fact that she complains about how long it takes to grade things and how much class time it takes to go over things just infuriates me

Why would you want to do yoga in a parking lot? Seems like if you're in a park it would be more pleasant to do it on grass

('you' could be substituted for 'one'- not directed at you, directed at the people you're understandably annoyed with)

One would think so.
