seriously. wtf!

I have this theory that my Health Ed teacher isn't a real doctor. I think she bought her degree after doing about a year of med school.

Firstly, because she believes that transmitting the light-energy that floats around in the air through point eight of the chakra (or something) is a legitimate way to cure paralysis or, you know, any other illness. She gave us a whole class on that sort of stuff. I mean, it's okay to be into that stuff as a hobby or whatever (I guess, if you don't take it seriously), but not to devote yourself to that as a doctor and then teach it to a class of 17-year-olds as legitimate medicine.

Secondly, because she spells poliomyelitis wrong. Seriously. 

And thirdly, because she gave us a class consisting of Power Point presentations– the kind you get in junk mail– about how shampoo gives you cancer, and oooh, all the things that happened in WW2 but never made it into the textbooks because the government doesn't want us to know! The worst one was about how the world will end soon because Sister Mary or something from some convent in Europe made a spooky prediction that scared the Pope, and a giant cross will appear in the sky and a big earthquake 10 minutes before midnight will kill all the non-believers. She told us that she was showing us all this because we should be prepared for the day that it would all happen, and we should start buying crosses and candles, and stock up on holy water.

Mom, Dad, close your eyes.

WHAT THE FUCK?????

Okay, open them again.

I mean, seriously! There is NO WAY she is a real doctor. I'm totally going to complain. Not that it'll make a difference, but in a few years when she gets sacked it'll be added to her record and she won't get hired anywhere else ever again.

Oh, I didn't mention it, but she let a stranger that claimed to be a Math student (with no ID, that showed up out of nowhere and was wearing a surgical mask and hat for no apparent reason... and looked way too stupid to be studying Math) take care of a classroom full of knapsacks. She was very surprised when she returned and a bunch of iPods, cell phones and wallets had mysteriously disappeared.
