Spanish is really hard this year and I no why. Its my teacher. Can anyone help me with this issue?
My teacher is totally nuts. She gives us things for homework that we have NEVER gone over or understand. Things that she just dumps on us for the sake of giving us homework, and assigns these projects that are so stupid! I had to learn pre-columbian history of Chile and I dont CARE about those things!!! In ELA we are reading a Christmas Carol and she gives us a bunch of questions in spanish and told us to answer them in spanish. This is ELA (english language arts) stuff!! We are only just starting to learn Spanish this year and shes telling us to do this stuff that we have no idea how to do and she never explains it to us, but she only expects us to know it! I am SO FED UP and sick of this class! What do I do?
Go in for extra help. Seriously, this is how I'm passing Physics. ;D
Teachers like it when students come to them with questions about their courework: it means that they're actually thinking through it and doing it. She'll probably be more inclined to treat you more respectfully and think of you as a better student because you know your limits and recognize when you need help.
Most teachers don't just assign homework for kicks (mostly because it would involve waaay too much to correct for no reason~). I think what your teacher is trying to do is educate you about Spanish cultures around the world and their histories. You might not care about Chile, but who knows? Getting that answer right about it on a gameshow could net you some serious cash. ^^
A major part of any curriculum is being able to read. She probably just wants to analyze how well you read and how much you guys know about looking at short stories. It's totally normal for one subject --like Spanish-- to branch out into other areas, like History and English. And the fact is that it doesn't stop here: university/ college profs are going to connect like mad and expect you to keep up, so in a way she's doing you a favor in preparing you for what comes ahead.
You want to know something? I take Latin, and because of that I've learnt how bridges are built, how to analyze poetry more thoroughly than my English class teaches me to, and all about military warfare. Does that sound like a "language-only" course? When you take a language, you've got to be prepared to learn about the people that speak it and increase your fluency in that way. It's cultural immersion and will actually end up helping you in later life.
For the short term, though: do the extra help. See your teacher and bring up the problem-- let her know about it.
