It is told that the one person who could both use and play it would be the once and future king of England

You know what? This teacher sucks.

i fucking hated my elemetary school teacher, at first i was an innocent child looking up to him. then he was some crazy man who got mad at 8 year olds for being bad at a guitar or recorder.

Yeah, there's no faster way to spark any kid's interest in music than to be a total dick about it.

Oh, did I say spark? I meant set on fire and stomp to death.

I had an art teacher in HS who was like that...

Not cool. Art teachers are supposed to be the fun ones.

I was spoiled though - we had one great art teacher in high school, and one idiot.

YEAH THEY ARE.

Instead, when I took 3D Design in high school, the teacher told my friends that I was a terrible student and that I should never pursue visual arts.

Of course, there are no basic art classes in public school, at least not when I went. All the money went to the football team, and in order to get into most of the art classes, you had to have a portfolio to show to the teachers.

No wonder I dropped out and got a transfer degree from the community college.

Yeah, I know my school was lucky to have the art teacher I took for three years, but most are far behind.

HERP DERP, MY SON PLAYS FOOTBALL. HE AIN'T NO FAGGOT.

my dad donated a bunch of drum sticks to my music class when he found out we were learning drums

the teacher sold them back the the students and didn't even give me a pair

looking back on it he was a pretty terrible man hahaha

Yeah well I farted on it, so what now teacher.

is this why you never trade with me

Maybe. Are you my sixth grade music teacher?

yes C:¦

Haha, man, what is it with music teachers? I had one who was terrible too. He'd get tomato-red in the face and roar at us and flip the music stands if someone made a honky noise on the clarinet. We were like, 8!

I could base an entire chapter of a comic on this person if I wanted. I think her problem was that she was actually a terrible musician and had issues with it. We asked her to play one of the songs from a Dinotopia book once, and it sounded god awful (maybe she just couldn't play piano - I have no clue). Sounded much different when it was plugged into Mario Paint.

We never even got to touch an instrument in my music class :(

As this shows, the closest we ever got was to hold pieces very briefly.

I only managed to get into the music class, because I was doing something completely unrelated. :P Did a still life of instruments for a portfolio piece for my art exam, failed outright; Which shows the xylophone is a sucky instrument and I should feel bad for also including the graphic graffiti as will in my final piece.

Don't you talk smack about the xylophone.

I guess I had it a lot better. I didn't like music class for the first 5 years of elementary school because the teachers were boring and had no control over the kids, but they weren't horrible like this or anything. Then in 6th grade we had a terrific teacher that made us do all sorts of interesting stuff and got the attention of the class. But of course we only get music classes until 6th grade so that was the end of that.

We got to write our own music on some beginner's music notation program in 6th grade. With Commodore 64 computers too, it kicked ass. It reminded me of Mario Paint actually, I wish I could remember the name of it.

I'm sorry to hear your music class escapades were not as fun. Our teacher had a doctorates degree in music theory, so maybe that's the ticket.

If all you could do was look at it, why even bother bringing it up? Look at this thing, do you like it? Oh well! Now who wants to hear about my last big date with my boyfriend who won't commit?

This woman single-handedly killed all interest I had in learning an instrument, which is pretty stark contrast from the previous year's teacher who managed to get us excited about recorders somehow.

No one likes recorders... I mean, really.

:U the halls were painted brown with the sound of Hot Crossed Buns.

I would SO gob it in.

that teacher is a B1T€H!! i never had an art or music teacher like that.....but i did get a detention for yawning in class....supposedly i was "making noises in class" bleeeeh >8O
