“If You Don’t Like It, Leave” Moments That Backfired

Context is important though, if someone want to leave your life. Take a moment to reflect on your actions and behaviours. People don’t just want out over nothing without narcissism playing a massive part. Sometimes you need to be the one to wake up and say hey I’m wrong and I need to deal with it.

My 7th grade math teacher was so demanding and was angry all the time. She faked to be nice to us when there were adults around, which highly upset me personally. There was this girl who always got on the teacher's nerves and would make her start yelling at us and remind us how useless we were. Her words actually caused some harm to a lot of my classmates and myself. We were children back then, and most of us had just moved to the US and we were barely getting used to this new country, so having a teacher ridicule you and not being able to have someone believing you because "she was so nice to your dad and I when we went to the parent meeting" was harsh for us. One time she gave us all after school detention because a girl (who didn't speak English at all at the time) couldn't understand a question. During detention, we weren't allowed to do anything but sit straight and look at the front. We were expected to do this until 5pm, when she would let us go one by one. We were, of course, very annoyed at this. Not a single person in the room liked the teacher, and being locked with her for two hours while she stared at us like we were some sort of criminals made us feel even more ridiculed than being told we were stupid. Ultimately, I asked if I could go to the restroom (I had a terrible infection as a child that almost ended my life, and the doctors told me that if I hold my pee too much I could cause myself harm. The teacher and friends knew this), to which she immediately declined. My friends' sudden gaze fell on me, then on her. I asked again, this time telling her "miss, I really cannot hold it in," again gaining a no from her. Then she said, "this is my classroom and what I say goes. If you don't like it, the door's unlocked." I did hesitate for a second, not wanting to get in trouble, but I ultimately stood up with my stuff and left the room. As I walked to the restroom, I heard the classroom's door open and close behind me. Turns out everyone decided to leave that hellhole.

I hate teachers like that don't let you use the bathroom, even if you have a serious condition. When i was in school i was scared to use the bathroom so i held it in and i would get UTI's.

[@AllenTax]

Strange. I would look up the rules. Assumeing your in school still. Some schools have to let students go to the bathroom. Reguardless what the teacher,school says. Being that you have a proven medical condition,proven by the right doctor. As you can from your basic doctor,but a specialists to the condition. You have to get refferal from basic doctor to see a specialist at times. Although this can vary. I had once seen a student almost die in class because the teacher wouldn't let student drink a soda they brought in. For their diabeties. Student was feeling light headed and nausia prior. Both diabetic symptoms of low sugar. Student passed out. A friend knew of the condition and gave the shot. Teacher was fired and charged with something. Kids parents sued school. They wanted pre attemted murder.

There's a very basic concept in labour economics called "efficiency wages". The idea is if you pay people minimum wage and mistreat them, they'll have no intrinsic motivation to work harder than the bare minimum not to get fired. If/when they are fired, they won't care because they can find a job at least as if not more desirable. Paying higher than you absolutely have to in order to have a warm body in the position is called an "efficiency wage" in that it hopefully increases motivation and productivity. The evidence is not conclusive with some evidence in favour and others against efficiency wages being worth the extra cost. However, not paying efficiency wages has been shown to result in no employee loyalty. If you make work unpleasant, they'll go. If you are a manager and you didn't realise this before, you really shouldn't be a manager.

If the employees and employers agree to a pay amount and the employers meet that amount, how are wages being stolen? I’m seriously asking, maybe we’re using similar terms but different definitions? I’d rather be wrong and corrected when possible, over wrong and believing myself to be right. Companies should share their profits with their employees when possible. It was thanks to those employees that a profit was even possible. Still, I don’t think that a company’s profits directly correlate to stolen wages and would love to know why you think such a thing.

The entire class immidiately backed up my brother and yelled at the teacher for being unfair and said that my brother would risk getting fired if he didn't take the shift. Teacher said "Fine, leave it you're not happy with me." Everyone looked at each other, one gave a quick nod towards the door and the entire class left.

I used this on myself a couple of times. When I was in a job a little similar to the first story (only it had a better pay), a few states away from the only person who ever loved me for who I am despite our differences (my MOM), very stressed out, unhappy, unfulfilled, surrrounded by people who didn't care about me and only wanted to stab my back, it suddenly dawned on me that... if I don't like it, I should just quit it. I threw aside all the fears, worries about money (I had none at the bank), lack of new job etc, and just quit. Things fell into place, a good friend paid for my moving away ($500), I got back to my mom (it's just me and her, there's no one else left), she was so so happy to have me back and she actually never wanted me to go. It was really a lightbulb moment when I realized, "what the hell am I doing here in a place I hate with toxic people that I couldn't care less about, when there's someone who truly loves me and cares for me very ready for me to just come back?!" I quit the next day.

My sister was driving my family back from a visit to the zoo.. me and my dad had been looking at the animals taking pictures and generally wandering around enjoying ourselves. She was pissed off we didnt stay with her and her kid the whole trip.. But to be fair me and my dad LOVE zoos.. So its kind of a tradition that we wander around cause we want to see EVERYTHING.. take pictures and enjoy the animals. We got into a fight and she pulled into a rest stop on the motorway and was like "if you dont want to be with us you can get out"... To her surprise I pulled out my phone. Called uber right infront of her and got out the car... Uber guy came like 10mins later and I was home 20mins before they were. after we had over-took them on the motorway.. Tipped the uber guy and made a tea... SHE. WAS. PISSED.. Apparently she felt bad turned around and went back to the service station to pick me up but I had already left lmao..

A bit of a reverse: One year in college, I took an Art & Design course in my second year. Shortly after the new term starts, they announce that they will be setting up a movie club. Which would've been alright by itself. Except they made it mandatory and you could get in trouble for not attending or not texting in advance that you were not coming. A lot of the students were not happy about this, because they were tired by the end of the day and wanted to go home. They played Four Lions on the first day which got some laughs but the other movies they chose were enough to send us to sleep. The one single movie they showed that was actually interesting was some Bob Marley documentary. It went on for over two hours and everyone was starting to get fidgety. We were not allowed to leave the room until the closing credits appeared. When it finally got to the credits, most people got ready to leave but the guy running the "movie club" went to the front of the room where the screen was to make an announcement. He told us that there was some additional footage of this documentary if some of us wanted to stay behind and watch it. Every damn student stampeded out of that classroom before you could take another breath.

For the first 20 years of my life, my abusive father told me that if I didn't like living under his house, that I could leave anytime I wanted. But between 18 and 20, My mother and I saved up enough money to buy her a car in secret and kept it at a friend's house, another cash store to move out with, and had been planning what we were taking with us and leaving behind. When the day came, needless to say my father was furious. Which goes against his claim that we (mother, me and one sibling) were ruining / had ruined his life. He should have been jumping for joy of that was true. Now he lives in a dumpster fire of a house, junk cars everywhere, and trashed yard, while I live in a very nice house, with a very nice yard, and four, clean, paid off vehicles.

I was given the, "The company has to come first," response when I was 19 and kept having to drop classes because my shift changed. Then I went to my professors and asked if I could change to the same class at different times (before online school), and was told, "As far as we're concerned, school has to come first." I reminded the professors that unlike school, which was COSTING me money, with no guarantee it would benefit me financially down the road, the company was PAYING me. Fast forward nearly 30 years and I'm in a leadership role at that same company making 2X more money than my friend with 3 degrees, including a master's, who asked me back then, "When are you going to get back to school and make something of yourself?"

I should point out, if you work somewhere that holds these kind of pre-shift meetings (like at 5:43), and said meetings are mandatory (whether stated or implied through negative consequences for not attending or for being "late" to them) US labor law requires you be PAID to attend these. On a five day work week, that means an extra 1.25 hours of pay.

I used to work for Amazon as a delivery driver. And whenever we'd bring up a grievance regarding our nonsensical route or our poorly maintained trucks. The manager would respond with if you don't like it you can leave. Fast forward a few days and we get fresh snow fall right before the Christmas season. Most of the trucks had little to no tread left on the tires. Something that we had mentioned months before the first snowfall of the season. When we brought it up again we once again were met with, if you don't like it you can leave. So, most of us did. The few that stuck around, totaled almost half of our work trucks. With most apparently occurring before they even left the parking lot.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

On this side of the world, random inspections of vehicles on the road are a thing, and especially for commercial delivery trucks and vans of all types. Find one with bald tyres belonging to a particular company or business? Suddenly, they decide to do an inspection of EVERY vehicle on site. All tyres unsafe would equal roughly a thousand dollars fine for each vehicle, plus they're all red-stickered and banned from the road until everything is fixed.

She'd done this a few times, and each time her conditions were manipulative and unreasonable, but my parents wanted her to be safe so they'd try to find a compromise. But this time, they were finally sick of this tactic, and when she gave her conditions, my parents said "it sounds like you don't really want to come back, then".

1982 jobs were scarce and I had no skills. I answered a newspaper ad that was vague about exactly what the job was, but had the line "no experience required ". The woman on the phone set up a time for an in-person interview, and repeated the line "are you SURE you have no sales experience? You are doing REALLY WELL in this conversation!" This made no sense then or now. I assume it was bait, and said to everyone. I show up to the address in a small business park at the interview time. What I find is a big room with 40 folding chairs and and a lot of other folks sitting or milling about. I was expecting a one-on-one interview. But OK, I am young and inexperienced, so I go with it. We all get asked to find a seat and presentation begins. A man starts speaking about dangers in the home from contaminants, bacteria, mold, dust being a major threat to human life. He goes on for at least 20 minutes about how our lives are in peril due to microscopic threats. Then he introduces the Rainbow vacuum cleaner (except he is very carefull not to call it a "vacuum cleaner" and uses some more impressive term) and spends the next 20 minutes selling us on how this is the greatest invention of the 20th century and how it will save mankind. 40 minutes in to it and there has been no job description or employment interview and I am getting impatient. I am starting to smell the stink of rotten multi level marketing. I was young and didn't know what a MLM was, but I was smart enough to know something was really wrong with the job if an employer has to "sell" the job like a snake oil salesman. He finally starts talking about "demonstrating" and how great it is to connect a customer with a product that were previously unaware that they desperately in need of. I'm getting tired of it. I dont know how to properly leave. I am afraid I might get roped into something stupid because I am young, inexperienced, naiive and not bold enough to standup like an adult and refuse to be handed crap. And then he pitched one slow and straight, dead center over home plate, it seemed to hover there in the very center of the stike zone waiting for me to swing... "ANYBODY WHO IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE WORLD OF HIGH PRESSURE SALES CAN JUST WALK OUT THAT DOOR RIGHT NOW AND LEAVE THIS LIFE CHANGING OPPORTUNITY BEHIND!" and he paused for effect. I think this may have been my first act as an adult MAN. I stood up. I shouted right back, "I CAME HERE FOR A JOB INTERVIEW!!! NOT TO BE PART OF YOUR SCAM!!! I fumbled my way out of my isle of folding chairs, bumping knees and trying not to step on feet, walked across the room and out the door to dead silence. Three years later at the University of Washington a fellow student approaches me and says, "I know YOU! You're THAT guy!" He goes on to tell my story from his point of view, being another desperate jobless 18-year-old in the same crowd. He said the speaker looked like he would cry, and couldn't speak for a minute. He told me nobody signed up to sell Rainbow Cleaning Systems that day. So I guess that is pretty much my lifetime service to humanity; I once saved a few fellow schmucks from the MLM experience.

When I was 13 years old, our regular music teacher went on maternity leave and then decided she was not coming back. Until then, music class had been skipped or periodically taught by another teacher (it varied). After the music teacher quit, she was replaced with a professional classical musician who was obviously desperate for a job since he made it very clear from the start that 1) he hated kids; 2) he really hated us in particular; and 3) he hated teaching. He was condescending, rude, perpetually angry, and just downright nasty. We all despised him. To make matters worse - if possible - he acted like we should have a college-level grasp on the subject of music, especially classical music. Finally, one day he just lost it and screamed at us, "If you don't want to learn, then just leave!" We looked each other in surprise. Really? My friends and I got our stuff and began to leave. Everyone else followed. He was stunned. The principal found us outside the classroom while the "teacher" threw a fit inside it. We almost got in trouble, but we all told our parents what happened. We never saw that so-called teacher again. He was replaced with a very nice, very easygoing guy who liked our kinds of music, but who taught us absolutely nothing. Oh, well. I moved out of town that summer and the school (a small, private school run by a church) finally closed a few years later.

Teacher here. I say that infamous line on a regular basis to my classes if they get too unruly, but amazingly, no-one has ever taken up the offer.

I told them I personally don't mind if they don't study; they'll just get a bad grade and get heck from their parents (private school), whereas I'll have proof as to why they got such low grades. They asked what would happen if everyone walked out. I told them that student A, B, C would not leave as they actually wanted to learn something. The class looked at these students, and they just nodded in agreement. Class asked what would happen if 90% walked out. I just said I would just teach the other 10% who stayed, and those 10% would probably be grateful that the distraction is gone. Again, they all looked at student A, B, C and they were vocal on how true that statement was. It was at this point that the students realized that if they did walk out of my class, it wouldn't be as funny as they thought, and that I was actually pretty cool in giving them a choice to study or not. I silently wish that some students would be brave enough to walk out.....

The fire department I worked at had insanely low morale due to a complete lack of leadership, nepotism, favoritism, lack of camaraderie and extremely low pay due to astronomically high pension contribution rates (talking 22 percent of each paycheck going to pension and that was after taxes, health insurance and union dues). The fire service generally liked to self stylize as being paramilitary so you can imagine how the complaints went over. Worse is this in a part of Florida that is more culturally southern while south Florida is more northern, so there was an even bigger chip on the shoulder of administration/the older good old boys of the department when much better systems and pay were pointed to of comparably sized departments down south. “If you don’t like it you can go on down to Miami”, etc was a fairly common sentiment. Well, that’s exactly what’s been happening. They used to lose pretty significant amounts of firefighters to other departments in the state which paid better, making it a stepping stone department. Over the part 5-6 years however, they’ve begun to hemorrhage personnel to even entire other industries. It sucked working there so bad multiple people have just decided to quit being firefighters to run landscaping businesses etc.

I worked at a company where the CEO always said to "vote with your feet". He wasn't talking about his company directly, but simply if you don't like the place you were working, that company or any other company, you shouldn't be afraid to leave. Any company that is at all well managed will figure out pretty quick they have a problem and take steps to correct them - and if they don't, well the marketplace will bury them sooner or later. But many companies are too big to try to fix by calling problems to someone's attention. So spend time trying to fix a company if you think it's worth it, but be willing to cut your losses and walk away. It was a pretty good company until it got bought out - then I voted with my feet.

I worked with the owner at a other job, opened that store and built the store from the ground up with a fresh picked crew , took the job because last time I worked with him he was a great manager , I didn’t know that he changed and not in a good way, after we opened started breathing down everyone’s necks and relying on cameras way to much. Only went to the floor to call us out if we didn’t look like we were working , does this for 4 months and everyone starts to quit . I ask for more hours , multiple times to try and be a good worker , in return he gives me 2 weeks and a threaten to fire me , . Decided I had enough so in secret applied for another Job, waited till I got the for sure green light that I got it and scheduled my orientation after a few days of my most recent shift at grocery store. Time skip to after shift and I go into his office to clock out tell him and his wife at the last minute “oh yea , I quit “ in the most causal voice I could. Completely catch them off guard , when asked why , told them “you said if you don’t. Like the hours and how I run the store then. Leave , so I decided to leave even after I worked my ass off to get more hours from him which he promised but never delivered , and he. Knew what I needed the money for which was for rent , bills etc which got me more mad. Got my check and never went back.

Had a boss try to make me pick between helping my disabled mom on Christmas or keeping my theater job. Then he asked ME if I was making HIM an ultimatum. I lost it and walked out. I cussed him out in front of 2 busses of kids I just helped at 7 am after getting home at 1am the night before. This was just before the release of The Last Jedi. He had a staff of all new people because everyone experienced left because the theater shut down over the summer for renovations. I hope he went through hell.

11:37 my dad was pretty into WoW back in the day, and he met this guy who would always try to hide the screwed up loot rules until the end. So my dad decided to just start randomly joining his raids and asking what the loot rules were.

6:00 That's exactly what happened with me and two coworkers. I worked for, as the insurance paper here states, a "Garage Dealer". We bought cars from auction and sold them after performing necessary repairs (sometimes), or we sent them back because we didn't have the money to repair them (because partner manager was wasting our money and getting us into a lot of legal problems). I started under them as an Automotive Technician, promised $15/hr wages. I got minimum wage. I'd been helping them out under the table for a while, so I half expected this to happen, even though I said 14/hr desired on the application. After the end of year meeting, they stated during it, that they would begin training me on removing/rebuilding engines, and replacing transmissions, so I could be doing it by the upcoming summer. It was two and a half months from summer when I requested a transfer to detailing, as they'd made no forward progress on that statement. Primary reason for the transfer? I was an automotive technician, who was seeking to learn, and they knew that. I was doing nothing but being a lube technician- And I didn't even get a proper lift or pit to do anything it. Just a jack, two jackstands, and a creeper. The whole process included a full 22 point inspection, plus inspection of all steering elements, and the actual oil change. It took me, with some light skipping on some items that weren't life threatening if they weren't checked, approximately 32 minutes at my fastest, 45 minutes on average. There were plenty of times that it took me the full hour, especially if it was a CRV, or something where the filter was difficult to access, especially from the ground. After that, it was the lazy efforts they put into their own vehicles, and a direct statement from the owner that made me transfer. I was working on a vehicle we'd just purchased- A 2007 Hyundai Tiburon, silver in color, with about 40k on it. Very nice, straight car, but it needed a full brake job, badly. The rotors were aftermarked drilled, and were toasted, destroying the pads. I stated they needed replacement along with the pads, all around, because they were all toasted. They told me that I was to take the rotors off, and they were going to have them turned. I instantly replied that "No company is going to turn those. The only turning they'll do is turning you away." I came in the next day, and was told that the old rotors were going back on, and I asked what happened. I had been right. All four local shops who do it turned them away the second they looked at them. I asked him why we weren't replacing them, and he said, and I quote: "Because I'm not wasting more time on this car. Put them on, and we'll make the person who buys it deal with that shit later. Then it's their money they're losing." Piece of shit. I was so fucking pissed at that. After the transfer, I'd fought in detail alone for about two months of that time, because the manager was a useless POS who spent most of her time up in the front doing god only knew what, and then bitching at me when something was taking too long or not being done her way. Like, woman, you never told me what you wanted done, so I'm doing it how the professionals that taught me told me to. Then, when they released her, they promised me a raise on my next paycheck, backdated a week to match when they said they wanted to talk with me. That never happened. I walked out last Friday, because my two coworkers had been asking to be put on the books for about a month, and nothing happened, and they were being underpaid at 12.50/hr. They also were cutting my hours clean in half, if not more, at min wage, where I was barely affording the tools I needed to keep the first job under them, and my truck for transport, as well as feeding myself and whatnot. They also told me if I didn't like it, I could quit. I told them to give me my paycheck on Monday and walked out. EDIT: We also did service customer vehicles. Didn't matter if it was or not, if I didn't have a lift, I was instructed to not check drum brakes. I never had a lift... EDIT 2: I also got berated and just inches short of disowned by my family for walking out. Yeah... Don't be afraid to walk out of a job for your mental health. I don't have headaches every day now that I'm not there.

There was a time when I was unemployed, and my husband was working overtime a lot. He went to his Boss and told he had hard situation at home and if he can get paid for overhours (he usually wasnt). His Boss said he will talk to him in 3 weeks about that. After this time he invited my husband to the office and said that od he doesn't like it he can quit because there is 300 ppl that want this job, and showed him advertisment he put on-line. Well my husband found other job and quit in short notice. His exboss was pissed, called him a rat that runs away from ship. There was quite a problem to find a person that actually can manage his position, they had big problems with that. My husband has now a job that pays him 3x more.

lmao My step brother and i lived with his mom and her fiance for 3 months and it was miserable. rent was always late, (even tho we lived in a paid off TRAILER and rent was just for the plot of land), we rarely had food in the house, the house was always disgusting unless i cleaned, they always smoked in the house even though i said not to bc im predisposed to lung cancer. it was hell. Finally, after my brother and i asked where the $600 a month we were paying to her was going if not towards rent and food, she, her friend, and her fiance all started screaming at us. Her ratty ass fiance who doesn't work or contribute to the house said "we let you live here, if you don't like it, LEAVE!" so i rescheduled the moving truck that i hadn't told them about for the next morning, my brother and i left, and the last i heard they didn't have internet and they were 5 months behind on rent :)

[@Clovenstone-Blue]

Politics and religion are the topics that I really dislike to be brought up on the internet. Even if the people that originally brought up the topic are respecting each other’s opinions and actually having a discussion (although I can’t really remember anything like that ever happening, but who knows), there will eventually be that one asshole that will burn any potential civil discussions to the ground because their views are the best and anything that goes against that automatically makes it wrong.

[@michelewalburn4376]

@@Clovenstone-Blue that is because those people mix the two. They think they're religion is better than everyone else's so all their views must be. It's so immature.

[@Clovenstone-Blue]

@@michelewalburn4376 I follow a simple rule in life. I don't give a shit about a persons ethnicity, sexuality, way of life, or beliefs (both religious and political), because who am I to be telling people how to live their lives. The only time when I'll actually see any of these aspects as my problem is when it either leads to harm being done to others (e.g. children of antivax parents), or if they're being an asshole about it (an atheist who will cut into a conversation about religion exclaiming that religion is wrong and that they're idiots, or a vegan that calls you a murderer for ordering a hamburger). I honestly don't understand how some people think such behaviour is acceptable.

In my country people go to political rallies bringing their children along. Some political parties are actively influencing high schoolers, even making them going to protests even when they have no clue what the protest is all about. Shit went south when the protest turn to riot and those kids are arrested.

Ugh these are giving me flashbacks to my first job. Loved the people I worked with but management and ownership treated everyone like crap, we were vastly underpaid and understaffed, and therefore overworked and exhausted. There just weren’t many, if any, comparable positions open anywhere else. We were all miserable and felt trapped, and we kind of were. So no mass exodus situation but as soon as a position opened up somewhere else I jumped at the chance. Felt bad leaving everyone else behind but my mental health is sooooo much better at the new job. Closer to home, better pay, better hours, and most importantly, the staff is highly valued and treated with respect. Wish I could’ve brought the rest of my team with me- most of them are still stuck at the old place. *edit- spelling

[@DrTranofEvil]

I was a team lead and told my manager we had an issue between the day and the night shift we needed to nip before it got bad. My manager looks me in the eye and says, ‘if anybody doesn’t want to be here, I’ll help them out the door’. Sooo, fast forward about six months. He screws me over (long story, but includes firing one of my employees without bothering to tell me), screws over one of his own crew (another long story) and we both leave within a week of each other. I tell HR, they can fix this, or they were going to lose everybody at that location. I was patted on the head and that was the end of over a decade of working there. Long story short, they lost everybody. The only two people left are waiting for retirement, everyone else is gone and they’re having to fly people from all over the US to work there… nobody wants to stay at that location because it is such a terrible culture.

Relying more on temps, not hiring temps on permanently after their 90 days. Barely paid above minimum wage. They went out of business within a year of my leaving.

22:10 Re the Followup Comment: Once we had a bus not pick up a whole classroom's worth of students in horrible winter weather. As we waited for the next bus that would make us late, a fellow student was plotting to have us all report this on arrival en masse. When he tried to recruit me, his logic was pretty solid. "Everyone knows we don't like each other. So if we go in telling them the same thing, they'll know we're not making shit up." Couldn't fault him that!

I’m allowed to leave class whenever I want because of my PTSD (my school has some hole in the rules regarding that, not sure why). One day, there was a substitute in math that was trying to teach us something we had already learned the previous week. The students tried to explain this to her, but she wasn’t having it. Eventually, she snapped and screamed “If you do not think my class has value, then LEAVE!” As her face turned red. I left. That didn’t go over well lol.

"It's always when you're not there that something exciting happens." I have a very good example of this from when I was in high school (11th grade). I went on a field trip with my AP European History class to the Philadelphia Art Museum, which coincidentally was the same day as the only hands-on lab we had in Chemistry class. I say only because apparently, one of my classmates set a bar of magnesium on fire, which resulted in the fire alarm going off and the school being evacuated.

A kid in my theater class vandalized a seat in the theater by carving into it with a pencil. The teacher knew who it was and we all confirmed it, but she demanded a confession directly from him. He wouldn't. So she said, "Okay, unless the person who did it confesses, I will drop everyone in the class a letter grade." We all clamored that it was unfair to punish all of us academically for a behavior issue in one student, especially since she fucking KNEW WHO IT WAS. "If you don't like it, leave." I don't remember a single person who stayed. I called my mom and we reported the teacher for abusing her power against the students. Grades are not to be used for punishment, they are to inform the district of how well the student understands the subject.
