My Naked Teacher - My First Relationship - Part 1
My Naked Teacher - My First Relationship - Part One
I met him because my Spanish teacher got arrested for sending nudes to a student.
The old High School became the 9th grade academy for all the freshman, while the rest of the grades moved to the new building across the street. The 9th grade academy offered a Spanish 1 course, BUT it was also offered at the other school.
I decided to go ahead and take Spanish 1 as a freshman to knock it out of the way, and be able to finish with my foreign language credits early. (Most colleges require you to have taken at least 2-3 foreign language courses and I thought it would be beneficial for me in the future if I ever decided to go to college.)
This, as you probably can already determine, turned out to be a terrible idea. My teacher didn’t teach. She tried too in the beginning, but she lost control of the class. It became a free period for the most part. She didn’t seem to mind it, either. People would sit around her desk and they’d all talk for the majority of the class. She gave the class an inch, and it took a mile. There was no restoring order or respect with this teacher.
I didn’t do any work in this class. In the beginning I did, but as the year progressed, I stopped. I stopped caring. I started listening to music and sleeping.
Towards the end of the year, our teacher didn’t show up to class one day, or the next. Days turned to weeks. We were given a few substitutes, and a packet to work on. (Despite not knowing how to complete it.) It became apparent that she wasn’t going to come back, and soon everyone found out why.
She had been under investigation, for allegedly sending nude photos of herself to a senior that attended our school. She was arrested, and sentenced to prison.
We were given a replacement teacher, and she was actually a very good teacher, but it was futile. The year was practically over. There was no time for us to learn a year’s worth of fundamental Spanish.
Somehow, I managed to pass the course with an 86. I learned absolutely nothing.
***********
I avoided taking another language course until the 11th grade, because I learned nothing in Spanish 1, there was no way I could take Spanish 2. But, I didn’t want to take anything else but Spanish. Difficult, I know.
I decided when I went to sign up for my next classes, that I could retake Spanish 1 for the first semester, and take Spanish 2 the next semester. Another bad idea.
When I got my schedule, I almost cried. I was scheduled to take both Spanish courses in the second semester. Spanish 2 was first period, and Spanish 1 was fourth period. This triggered my anxiety beyond belief. I knew I had to get it resolved, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask for help. I couldn’t bring myself to the office. It was a faraway problem that I told myself I’d deal with when the second semester rolled around. It clawed in the back of my thoughts the entire first semester.
I found out through a friend that I could email the counselor about it. I was somewhat relieved. It still made me nervous, but it was better than having to talk to someone in person. And me being the person that I am, I put it off until the week before.
It turns out, I couldn’t take Spanish 1 again since I already received credit for it, and I couldn’t take Spanish 2 either so my entire schedule had to be rearranged. Great.
Remember how I put it off until the last minute? Yeah, because I had waited so long, all of the the electives were basically full except all the boring ones. 10 Points for fucking myself over.
I worked it out with the very passive-aggressive counselor. My schedule ended up being Math 3, Computer Applications 2, American Literature, but I still needed something for my fourth period.
She told me I had either A) SomeBoringandDifficultClass or B) Ceramics. If you know me, you know that 3D art is not my forte. I was so nervous about having to settle for ceramics. I was already frazzled on the art class I had taken the previous semester.
I tried to reassure myself that it would be alright. I already had the teacher for a photography class. Plus, It would be interesting to explore 3D art despite not being good at it. I could at least give it a shot. I emailed her saying I pick Ceramics.
What could I lose, right?
