• Annoying things about history teachers
• They make you think too hard, stay awake in
  class, and do homework!!!
• They say that grades dont count when everyone
  makes an A because it was too easy!!!
• They say grades do count when everyone makes an
  F because you should have studied!!!
• They say that the grades on the last test were
  really bad, but that was only because they
  dont know how to teach!!!
• They make you read, and memorize stupid quotes
  (normally from dead people)!!!
• They make you remember dates when things happened
  (normally before you were born)!!!
• They make you find places on a map that you
  didnt even know existed!!!
• They make you answer questions about
  everything!!!
• They always expect you to think extra hard,
  give extra details, and use past knowledge!!!

  force you to watch stupid video clips about

• Annoying things about history teachers (Part 2)
• They only show stupid videos to avoid having to
  actually work that day!!!
• They always want you stop what you are doing and
  listen to them, I mean who do they think they
  really are??? My momma dont even talk to me
  like that!!!
• They always call on people who havent answered
  yet during class, I mean dont they realize that
  I am trying to TEXT and that I am not paying
  attention to them!!!
• They always like to throw away things done by the
  students to prove a point, but dont they realize
  that if they are going to throw it away, I am
  going to stop doing what they ask me to do!!!
• They always act they know everything, including
  stuff about YOU!!!
• They make you ask what things really mean,
  because they dont know either!!!
• They want us to ask questions but when we do they
  just give us stupid answers, or tell us what we
  want to know is not important!!!
• They always want us to raise our hands, I mean
  whats the deal with that???
• They make us wait for everything we need to do,
  like go to the bathroom, get water, or even to go
  ask a friend an important question!!!
• They expect when they ask us something we need to
  answer right then or else we get in trouble!!!
