She is okay I guess.. only gets a 2 because I have a good grade in her class right now. She argued with me on what my 504 accommodations are, like I WAS AT MY OWN MEETING AND YOU WEREN’T also, why do you want me to not have them THAT BAD? You’re literally breaking the law. Also, she doesn’t let us eat in class. Like what if I’m hungry? Guess I’ll starve. She also hates people having gum. She’s always screaming “SPEET OUT TEH GAM”. She literally wrote up a kid for having his bag on his chair and not NEAR THE FRONT. That’s so dumb; like first of all, what if we need to get something out of the bags? We have to walk all the way to the front and walk all over the mess of other bags on the floor because you know kids can never do anything correctly if they already don’t want to. Not only can you trip, but also it’s a HUGE HASSLE. This teacher is just a huge control freak and it’s honestly quite creepy. She also gets mad at us for being later on things when she is absent for whole days. Why do you get an excuse but we don’t? Also, her projects are just impractical and weird. She made us draw a portrait with strange proportions. Not even mentioning we had to draw ourselves. We’re high school teens, ALMOST NO ONE LIKE HOW THEIR FACE LOOKS, SO WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT. She also is so mean to everyone. She yells at people, and kicks us out. She also said my best friend’s artwork is unoriginal. (The at is literally her own ideas and I even help her, and they are all of her cat. Who else is drawing this specific cat? LITERALLY NO ONE!) this teacher made her so sad, she is thinking about quitting art; her life’s passion, because there is no other teacher for AP art. (She is the teacher for both normal and AP art, which I and my comrade are in respectively, so there is no escaping her unless you quit art.) overall, I have a good grade so a 2, but otherwise a 1. She is inconsiderate, mean, and demands respect that she doesn’t even give us.

Libby Held, Holly High School, Holly, MI, 48442
Teachers like Mrs. Held are frustrating. It would definitely be understandable if they wanted kids to succeed in college and therefore gave them really picky feedback, allowing them to eventually reach high standards. (I've had a handful of teachers like that, and they're usually my favorites. :) ) However, a teacher shouldn't expect the students to meet the higher standard right off the bat--especially if, like it sounds Mrs. Held does, they can't even explain what that standard looks like. In truth, it seems like Mrs. Held couldn't explain her OWN grading. That raises a red flag. Now, I get that English grades are all somewhat subjective. However, there's a difference between Mrs. Held's grading and English teachers who don't have a totally foolproof grading method--but at least have a decently reasoned approach behind their thinking. Again, picky feedback does help students grow, so I would actually be okay with her giving students college-level *feedback* on their work. On another note, the unnecessarily picky *grading* really does hurt kids. Whether or not the colleges with purported "holistic admissions" want to admit it, so much of their decisions are still based on grades, especially junior-year grades. Teachers know those facts full well! It's not exactly fair for intelligent, diligent kids to be held to college-level standards grade-wise and therefore have to worry their dream school will reject them. Again, teachers know that full well! Plus, Mrs. Held, if you are truly worried your students will not be prepared for college if you don't grade them like you would a college student...please don't be! These are honors kids; unless they truly don't deserve to be in the class, their work ethic and abilities will be enough to do just fine--or better--in college. And if a student does not deserve to be in the class, please talk to the principal and knock them down to regular English! Please be harsh...when it's fair. Mrs. Held, if you can just save the picky criticisms for the feedback, not the grading and kick out kids who genuinely don't deserve to be in honors--I think your teaching style might be much more valuable to eleventh graders. Though ultimately, if you still feel the need to treat your high school students like college students, let's admit it...you might just not like high school kids. Which doesn't mean you're a bad person! At all!!! I don't really like high school kids myself. In my opinion, they are generally relatively awkward and entitled. Still, please don't make the kids bare the brunt of your attitude if you feel that way. And don't put yourself through a job you don't truly love! You work with kids more than they work with you...so I can't even imagine working a *full-time* job with people you don't like at all. As this reviewer mentioned, you might love teaching at a community college. You might be happier and more beneficial to students there.
As a parent I have absolutely loved every teacher my child has had in ...
