“Class, could you all please put everything down and look at me?”

And everyone reluctantly turns their head in her direction, rolls their eyes and glares at her, ready to listen to yet another boring talk. Knowing that we’re all extremely pissed, she attempts to make us like her more.

“Don’t worry; this will only take 10 minutes.”

And she goes on. Every time we attempt to pick up a pencil, it results in, “can you please put that down and focus on me? It won’t take long.” Take Friday as an example. She starts the lesson by saying that we were given as choice, to go to the “labs” or to stay in the room and complete our task. After explaining nothing for ages, she says “Do you all understand? You’re all looking at my blankly.”

She tells us numerous times that we don’t have much time, as our presentation is due soon, yet, she talks for 30 minutes of the lesson, leaving us 8 minutes to actually start working.

According to my math:
1 minute- Figure out what we’re really doing in the lesson, since she just talked for ages about nothing
1 minute- To take out of diaries, to start working
1 minute- To gather all the materials we need.

And-
“There’s 5 minute until the bell. We should start packing up now.”

What a productive lesson.

And now, I have to spend my entire time making up for all that lost time, to ensure that I actually do finish by the due date.
