    He's like that one teacher who gets off topic really easily and starts talking about the making of highlighters and nobody stops him because they don't want to do the assignment

      Either he goes off topic, or everything in the universe is connected...

      That teacher that gets of topic is my physics one, he goes on the class normally, but then tells a story, then goes on explaining why we get sick from air conditioners and we finish class asking ourselves: ''what was he supposed to teach us this class again?'' or simply ''I didnt understand anything.''

      One time my teacher got really off topic and started to talk about why she doesn’t like Walmart

    • @nerf.ashton
      @nerf.ashton 6 лет назад +16

      my history teacher is like that
      like we'll start class with the warm-up which is on topic, and then she'll start rambling about god-knows-what-but-it-somehow-has-to-do-with-what-we're-learning, so then theres half the class gone. oh yeah and the rest of the class is like that too
      im kinda worried at this point because we're supposed to have 8 units done at the end of the year, we're still on the 3rd one, and theres only 50-some days left of school until summer.
