whining about whiners

i just want to bitch. its been a while since i left cat high as a relief teacher, but recently i have heard some very unpleasant comments by my students..its useless fighting back cos it makes me a retard. i've tried explaining my rationale, my reasons for the things i did and the way i was, and no, they don't get it still, leaving me seething with anger, but i'm letting go because they're just a bunch of ill-mannered angsty teenagers. yes, i'm judgmental NOW. yes, to put it bluntly the worst students in their level. academically and attitude wise, totally sucks.

some 'facts' i found out:
1. i taught nothing in cat high.
first sign of ungratefulness. they complained i was constantly giving out worksheet after worksheet. but hell, your teacher was slow in giving them out and that's my order to give them out and go through a bit. and what exactly do i need to teach for english, none of my superiors would say. they just referred to that pile of worksheets that was scaling a dangerous height. so that's for my side. for their side, i never received more than a quarter of the class's worksheets after the first assignment, which took like 4 days to get together. so i never went through 90% of the stuff. fair.
2. i'm the reason why half the class failed english.
haha, not quite, especially since i was there to mark. the first thing that was on my table were scripts i took the whole new year to mark. just a simple functional writing that took up maybe 20% of the whole paper. the other components were marked by their teacher. and which they did very badly in i must say. compre grade of 7/25 was kinda high for them. so anyway i marked generously, giving them a good 17 to 20/30 for each, for their kind of standard. and they still blamed me for them failing english!
3. i'm the reason everyone(mostly) failed their assignment component for mid-year.
seriously they were penalised badly for not adhering to the requirements. all i did was to go by the book and fail them accordingly. i told one guy i could have gave generously, passing everyone and like make their day, and be remembered as the best (relief) teacher. of course i know i could have. but they wouldn't have learnt. anyway that component was kinda minor and they were making noise like little girls do. not to mention my kind leniency in marking late work(1 week plus is more than late) and yet not penalising.
4. i'm inexperienced and so i know nothing about marking.
they couldn't stop whining about my inexperience, my age. of course i know i'm the youngest teacher there. that's why i never stopped asking how to do things i'm supposed to do. the way i marked, really was fair. and supervised by my superior. i even gave everyone extra marks lah. super generous can. i kept asking questions. and made damn sure they were done the way it was to be. and they were done in the same likeness. (in fact i was able to replicate the marking standard to a standard so high up experienced in my time, i was asked to be generous and add like 2 marks to every paper. that's when i knew standards had dropped drastically in the last 4 years)

so i dun want to go back to teach a bunch of ingrates anymore =/
i was quite keen on teaching in a girls' school actually. now i'm more certain i'd wanna do that. they are more empathic. so am i. i don't know how to deal with a bunch of lazy fools blaming everyone for their plight. but yeah, of course there are those who thanked me..for giving them better welfare than their teacher..cos they're getting punished right now for not doing work, all the shit that cat high boys do..after all i was one of them..sigh..just hope they'll learn. bitch about me all you want but seriously learn something while at it if possible. even if your debating skills and oratory can be fine-tuned when you whine about me...
