Class of 2026
Please be warned, I'm not trying to scare you, but I just want you to be ready for this class. She's extremely picky. 1. Organization must be ON TOP, don't SLACK OFF, make sure your binder for her class is the way SHE likes it, make sure the notes that are going in the folder are organized 2. DON'T TALK IN HER CLASS (the chatty kids end up being called on more frequently for random questions regarding the assignments) 3. Don't leave her class early and don't come in late (she hates it so much, and while accidents and life in general can happen, I'd HIGHLY recommend you not arriving late to her class even if it's a minute late, cuz best believe that door will be closed as soon as that bell rings even if she she's you coming). 4. Don't even THINK about eating in her class, you'll regret it forever. 5. Don't even fathom cheating or using your phone in her class (you WILL be caught, and even if you do end up being one of the lucky students who get to sit in the back of the class, your anxiety will stop you from cheating).. 6. She does these quarterly seat rotations, so just be cautious of that. 7. She "offers" after-school tutoring, but most students are too scared to attend (please reach out to her if you ever need any help, though, yes she's intimidating but at the end of the day, you gotta pass that class and make ya mama proud so put ya nerves aside and ask for help). 8. Pay attention when she's going over stuff. 9. Make eye contact when she's talking to you or the class, and only resume what you're doing AFTER she's done talking. 10. If you didn't pay attention to anything else I said above, just remember: don't eat Doritos in her class. 11. Actually study for her class and try your best. Give this class 110%. 12. Ask questions, she loves questions. 13. Don't leave the paper ridges attached to the paper when you're turning her assignments in, please, I'm begging you.
