ASJ Rant Number 2: Adult language blah blah blah blah
I got my business mock back today and what the corrector wrote on it made me cry in class purely because it was so mean, bare in mind this person is/is going to be a teacher and the fact that they are such a cunt makes me fear for their current/future students.
They wrote this:
“Your presentation is atrocious and your handwriting is awful”.
How could you say that to someone? You are a teacher you are meant to give constructive criticism not be an outright bastard about it. I know my handwriting isn’t the best but to call it “awful” is one hell of an overstatement and my “presentation is atrocious”- fuck you honestly fuck you! I marked everything out clearly so any idiot like you could find where my work was- I didn’t cramp anything together and I did my questions in the right order.
Everybody who I showed it to said the corrector was a prick of the highest order and the fact that they could write that on a person’s paper- a Leaving Cert student who is already under loads of pressure and has obviously done their work (I got 76/80 in the short questions) undoubtedly shows how much of an asshole they are! My business teacher photocopied the remark and is going to send it back to the correcting company so they know what kind of person is correcting their paper
They also skipped over/incorrectly marked answers that I know are right so because of them I got a total of 445/600 points in my mocks when I need at least 460/600 to get into my course.
They have ruined my day, I’m so pissed off it’s ridiculous!!!

I’ve got a Beatles “Apple” pet peeve.When they released the Green Apple USB in 2009, all they put on there was the 12 studio LP’s, + Past Masters and nothing else. BLAH!
Instead of the Past Masters , they should have put the original 45’s & EP’s that weren’t on an album in chronicle order along with the LP’s. Especially when it came to the unique Magical Mystery Tour EP instead of the U.S. Capitol version.
What a great opportunity they had here to release the Beatles “canon” as they were meant to be released.
Lazy Blokes!
Well, I’ll show them, I’ll make my own proper “canon” Green Beatles Apple USB: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3511841…..23.l2649

Why don’t they have the teacher correct it instead of some random person?

It’s to avoid any bias I think-that and none of my teachers wants to correct twenty, 10-page exam booklets.
I don’t do history but they came back a couple of days ago and the highest grade was 58%! In a class of very good students might I add but the fact that people like those get my money to shoddily correct and blatantly insult me is awful!

Offline Thats ridiculous and totally unprofessional from the marker @AppleScruffJunior. Any even quarter-decent teacher knows that when marking student’s papers you give constructive feedback on their work not write “this is shite, how you manage to wake up in the morning?” or such useless help. I’d certainly appeal/raise it to someone and hopefully one of your teachers can do something to help as at the very least you’re paper and you’re work should be treated with respect. God help the markers class.
@Starr Shine?, one reason why a random person marks it is so no bias or favouritism is shown when grading the work, it means the paper is marked entirely on its own merit. If the teacher marks it they may take into consideration whether or not they like the person, how much effort the student(s) have put in in their other course work, any targets their school, class or his/herself has to meet etc.

I can’t do anything about it which is what annoys me the most, I’m going to dissect it myself over my 2 weeks Easter holidays to see where I lost marks and where I was right and blah blah. Even if I end up getting 90% my report card will still say 60% because that is what the “examiner” gave me :/

Offline How does that work? Surely there has to be a right of appeal otherwise you’re screwed if some complete prat is grading them – as has happened here! Ludicrous and pathetic system if there isnt. Especially if you are paying for them to do it. Demand your money back for a shit service delivered by an incompetent arse.

It is only the mocks examination so not the real thing. There’s no point appealing them unless your teacher sends them back to be re-corrected and I don’t think my business teacher will.
In the real thing I’d pay €40 to get it re-checked and if it my grade went up I’d get back my €40 but if it stays the same/go down I don’t get a refund.

Sorry there is nothing you can do. If i had paid money for a service and the service was shit i’d be asking for it back, at the very least i’d expect i could.

Motorcars – Some are terrible, some are OK, most are far too fancy
Handlebars – Essential for cycling. Good as facial hair
Bicycles for two – Agree. Too much like hard work
Broken hearted jubilee – I think the Queen enjoys the Jubilee although she looks miserable
Parachutes – Essential if you want to do another sky dive
Army boots – They should issue the soldiers Roller Skates (Rubbish in the desert)
Sleeping bags for two – Sounds good to me

I agree with this one completely.
I also hate how Justin Bieber gets mentioned in every single musical Youtube video. Leave the poor kid alone.
In general, I can’t stand when something in pop culture becomes a punching bag, like all that “Still a better love story than Twilight,” “Nickelback is the worst band in the world,” “Justin Bieber is a girl/homo/eunuch/whatever they’re saying about him these days” shit.

Offline Nickelback is one of the most horrible popular bands in the world though, can’t disagree with that.
I hate it when you work in small groups and people have to give you feedback, and one of them gives you negative feedback, and the others agree and immediately say the same too. Do it one for one, and not all three at the same time, because it feels like an attack. Getting it from one person is actually enough, thank you very much.

Offline Inept parents at a cashline with their brats.
I spent what felt like forever today standing behind then next to two mothers with their little brats kids little brats at a cashline. Both kids insisted on inserting the bank cards the wrong way and didnt want help so the mothers let them, then pestered the mothers as they pushed the buttons for an eternity (god knows what they were doing as it takes a shorter length of time to program the space mission). One mother finally finished and her horrible pain in the arse had to take the money and wave it around for all to see (really safe). This little piece of vermin then decided he had to take the money out of the other machine so pushed the other kid out the way before running off when told to stop it in the least authoritative voice ever. He then came racing back, snatched the money, and again waved it in the air.
By this point i had my money and so walked off vowing that if i ever have kids like that they are getting thrown in the nearby canal.
