Why Am I Failing English

[@02chevyguy]

Can't stop laughing over ":Smack My Bitch Up".

[@brendenkellogg1735]

my 80 year old theology teacher played this at my catholic school and he WAS LAUGHING

[@TonyWhittemperordalek]

My god. I've taught for almost twenty years now, and this is my life every December and May. I've been triggered. :)

[@rebma2156]

Sorry you must teach so many morons. I'm a decent student but not in math and guess what if I fail (which I have) Guess who's fault it is? MINE .

[@VikingBoyBilly]

I wish more college professors were like this. Most of them caved in to this bullshit and made it all too easy, and now here we are.

[@NPC1921]

"Oh. .....well....but I need an A."

[@rockdocandlittlebird]

Nick Carlson I had one with all these sob stories about how their mom stole their money and they would loose their financial aid and they HAD to get a B... I let them retake the class (and gave them an incomplete) and they did WORSE the second time around.

[@seoulfulmatt6155]

Student: "I showed up for every class's Also student: Didn't attend the first class, and missed 8 classes because "his balls fell off"

[@DavidDeeKayGeeNinetyFive]

I'm watching this while in my last semester of university to remind myself not to slack off during these last two months.

[@Progo35]

"One of my ovaries fell out."

[@angryhammerite3849]

"One of my balls fell off." I almost died :D

[@02chevyguy]

Goes along with "I have a hard-on.com"

[@FamilyHistoriandude]

Well he shouldn't have been rubbing himself.

[@rockdocandlittlebird]

Watching and listening to this with a friend who said "Wait, was this an exact conversation you had with one of your students?" No... it's a combination between two former students.

[@vanillabeam5400]

Aw yeah, I remember that beautiful song "Smack my Bitch Up"

[@j5689]

Another classic from Elvis

[@watchspotting]

There were 5 papers. You turned in 3. Why did you turn in only 3? My grandma died. Twice...

I love your intentional 'silences' that you do. Adds quite the amount of humor to the scene. >w

Wow. This is art.

[@kyleweaver9830]

Missed 8 classes yet also attended every class at the same time? GIVE THIS BEAR AN A!!!

[@dmf1301]

Those 8 classes missed don't count because he had to go to France for the funeral for his dead grandmother... I mean, grandfather... I mean, favourite grandparent, you bastard! :p

[@peterpetro123]

This is amazing. English professors are not the only teachers that have to deal with this. It seems like I hear this every day.

[@Lady00s]

Ordinarily, the monotone voices would drive me nuts. In this case they really enhance the writing. I also love the little *wiggleduh* they do.

[@SouthernYetti]

My favorite Elvis song is "Smack My Bitch Up", as well. lmao

[@misterninetyseven2898]

People like this are all over that Rate My Professor website..... it's hilarious

[@MLittleBrony]

This is a classic.

[@noonecanfindme98]

so some teacher was showing a video to sophomores, the video ended and this video opened up but it was paused. My senior class came to the classroom next, and my teacher was like ooh a video lets watch it...and she explained to us later that she was sorry if someone got offended and didn't know this stuff was in the video lol

[@YeomanLocksly]

The prof recommends the student repeat the course with another instructor. I had to repeat a few courses and found a new prof made a 100% improvement. I just wonder why some ppl OPT to repeat it with the same prof, several times. Maybe the prof's method of teaching does not correspond to the students method of learning. Indeed profs also ask their students why they don't try it with someone else.

[@zephyrds4761]

"I was in the hospital, because one of my balls fell off." ...seems legit.

[@maikeweige1548]

Had many of these same conversations with students.

[@CrazyMazapan]

I teach English at oil companies and can soooooooooooooo relate! This is just unbelievably accurate! I love it.

[@robynhood4957]

"SMACK MY BITCH UP" i can't stop laughing :))

[@TheKillerEmcee]

I missed these

[@pumpkin6429]

This nigga said, "one of my ovaries fell out." Oh my fucking god. I've been crying for the last 5 minutes. That's the funniest shit in the world. XD

[@mr.tree2alay682]

3:25 I laughed for three minutes straight 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mark710]

no wonder we have so many graduates who would be cleaning houses in other countries lol

[@spiritnexus999]

Yup, there are a whole lot of college students who REALLY are this ridiculous.

[@G-spotGeorge]

I never understood how my friends failed English classes now I understand

[@robynhood4957]

yeah, most of my classmates just don't give a sh*t and they're the ones who complain the most about their grades LOL

[@ironman1478]

"just three of them" omg, that killed me

[@namleejo4854]

Stay in school don't make excuses

[@dnbliff]

its just to differentiate between each, when turning 180 and if both were the same, then you would not be able to tell the difference (with headshots)

[@Astromaxis]

"One of my Ovaries Fell off" I LOLed That was hilarious!

[@sergiolopezOU]

Thank you, sir. You unintentionally validate my point, and yes, I would like fries with that.

[@Captain711Kirk]

Hahaha. I've had this conversation with students before!

[@Joyce-lf1lb]

OMG! This is EXACTLY what students do😂😂😂

[@burntchrome1]

@msteber88 Try "most of them" squandered it. Students like you are one of the only reasons professors can get through the day without resorting to drugs/

[@mr_flava]

Bobby you SPEAK English!

[@Wouldntulik2know27]

My English teacher showed this in class. XD

[@nowhereboy]

"Do you want fries with that?" What he'll actually be saying in a few years is "Mr. Speaker, may I have another three minutes." or "My fellow Alaskans." or "Thank you for taking my call, Mr. Limbaugh."

[@OwensProf]

Wow...this student was in my Psych class, too.

[@RondariusRoberson]

DAMNIT JELIN NOT AGAIN, WE GOTTA SAVE THIS ONE

[@averysgore]

"but I fell asleep three times" Heh, you did better than me at some of my 9 AM classes.

[@LATINOHEATforLIFE]

"And your personal ads at 'I Have a Hardon dot com.' lmao

[@Thrice4Christ]

LAWLLLLLLLLLLL DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT????????????? freaking Brilliant, just freaking brilliant

[@msteber88]

This clip makes me sad when I think of the students who slacked off in one of my college English classes. Clearly I was one of the few students who gave 100 percent effort and subsequently received an A. It broke my heart knowing that my professor gave the students many opportunities to ace the class. Sadly, some of them squandered it.

[@acameron513]

Yes, I am certain that teachers would find this cathartic.

[@ckmclements1]

Yep. That's just about correct. I wonder if I should make this required viewing for my classes next semester? :-)

[@Michael326]

This video only "sucks" if you're the student this video makes fun of. Otherwise, this is COMPLETELY ACCURATE.

[@nataratafata-jh6kz]

I'm surprise how he's knew about all the activity on his phone

[@vincentvorse]

Please tell me this is fake. Please tell me people aren't really this stupid

[@gizmoenterprises3467]

It's true. Almost word for word. Ask any professor

[@Taylorchick24]

It's very true. I'm a student and I've heard so many lazy students give these excuses to both me and the professors. It's sad and annoying. Probably one of the rare times I actually feel sorry for teachers. Imagine having to hear this every semester.

[@kittykat330]

James Michel It's obviously fake.

[@userer4579]

+James Michel Unfortunately, yes, people really are that stupid. Have you ever been to the DMV?

[@Sallyallie89]

I thought college students actually geared themselves to pass, but once I got to college myself I realized this was far from the truth in the general education classes anyway, such as English. Clearly their parents are forcing them to attend college and paying their way through it, hence why the students are lazy. I myself want to get a career, so I am in college thanks to my dad paying for me to go, but I am actually passing! I'm down to my last semester in fact because I actually car to pass.

[@frood801]

I do pay attention. I'm one of the best students.In fact they let me in debate team a year earlier because my English grade was so high.

[@jamesabrown8776]

Well this video is inspiring. Now I know for sure what I SHOULDN'T do in college.

Don't wake up in a road-side ditch

[@CornerTalker]

This is just like high school, except that the teacher would have to be take the threats seriously...

[@iSilverRing]

And.. the sad thing is that 90% of teachers (according to the comment section) as well as mine were careless as well and showed this video to class.. after that they said “oh i did not know!” Well, did you check it ? Sounds most teachers who hate being called like that are the ones who fail students.. as they are careless :) the tables had flipped that day in class we laughed so hard🤣

[@Serena03]

How did he get a scholarship? Just being 'special?'

[@frood801]

Is it sad that only me and one girl try our hardest in a reinforced math class while everybody else yells swears and messes with music on there phone

[@Jelincomi]

I didn't think stupidity could become this severe, I think we've lost him.

[@PALMofficial]

no, i've seen one where the black piggy/kitty is the teacher

[@silvertonguer]

And then you think how did these students get into college?

[@sergiolopezOU]

[@PyorPat]

Thank you!!

[@DarthFennec]

I've seen people like this ... I failed an English course, once. It sucked. I worked my ass off, spent about six hours a night, every night, redrafting and perfecting each of my essays, doing everything I could to do the best possible work, and the professor still gave me 20% and 30% on all of them. Also, I always got 100%s in every other English course I've ever taken, and I didn't put nearly as much effort into any of those, so maybe my professor did just hate me ...

This is SO on the money.

It just seem like it was at first.

[@shananagans5]

If your time is so valuable why are you on KZbin griping about how unfair your teachers are? By the way,how exactly do your profs threaten your career & future by judging your work? They don't give you a grade,you earn it. Yep,on occasion,you may recieve a grade lower than you deserve but if it happens often you may want to look at yourself. We all took & had to pass unrelated classes. Nobody owes you anything. It's up to you to go out & get it. If you're college material,shut up & do the work

[@charliefasurf1000]

"no effort", "it's your fault" -I beg your pardon? And yes, I can prove that my grade is unjust by entering an inside process of litigation. It's composed of several steps more or less like a real court situation. So far I've proved wrong mathematically (management science models) my right to get significantly better grade (B+ from F) and management accounting - where I've proved that exam was really poorly constructed by getting opinion from Deloitte consultants (Also B+ from F), only to

[@Spattinfire]

I feel like this was made by an English professor...

[@shananagans5]

The prof may very well have odd expectations. You have no control over that but you failed to adjust to those expectations. That's part of learning how to think, how to adapt & you didn't do that. Pretty much any path you take in life you will have to deal with difficult people in one way or another. If you work for/own a company there will be difficult clients you will be expected to deal with & adapt to. See the point I am making here? Learning to deal with those situations is part of college

[@iSilverRing]

It feels like the teacher is the king just like that and the student is the slave he just has to do this and that even thu some teachers work hard to teach but most of them they just care abt giving u the fucking material and u do things ur own and if u did a mistake they blame you .. i am not talking abt failing.. talking specifically abt getting a C in a course that u think u r excellent at (and u really are) its just the professor.. want an evidence? Sure, my friend has a phd in physics and my professor also has a phd, i got a very low grades on the exams even thu i solved it right and most of the questions i solve them almost rightly, but still a low grade. I talked to my friend asking him to grade my papers fairly and i did the math, i should get B+/A-, and when u go to the professor’s office he makes u feel as if the mistake is yours not his and that he did a PERFECT job in giving the materials.. yea guess what, no one is perfect, neither u nor i.. shoutout to every good professor who thinks like a student and works like a teacher.

[@charliefasurf1000]

Yea, my letters are written exactly in the same manner as youtube comments that I post while taking a crap ~.~ Also " you have a job of any significance" is that where you landed with your conformity?

No, I didn't. Some things, like commas, are optional.

Yes, deal with it.

[@luvbaseball5859]

2018 anyone?

[@johnhambly6331]

I've seen this at Radford.

[@bast963]

Student: "Okay, I got here on time all classes, have perfect attendance, I did all your work, I never used a phone, and I passed the final. Why do I have an F anyway?" English composition professor: "Because I am high standard jackass and your essays had errors that are really difficult for college students to notice. Also, you passed the final with a D+." It says something when the hardest course for half the majors in a college is the stupid English class you take freshman year.

[@superkawaii09]

I actually used to know someone like that lol

[@bloodspyke4]

Absolutely hilarious.

[@LevinNadia]

Hahahahhahahaa it's so so funny !!!))) I love this video )

[@dogfight156]

excellent vid!

[@246alive]

a side effect of education can be conformity if your not careful? is that what your trying to say?
