i had a teacher in high school who was nowhere near stupid, in fact she was probably the best teacher i ever had, but she had really ridiculous rules. she wouldn't let us write papers outside of class because she was convinced our parents would help us, so we were given a 45 minute class period to type a 3 page paper, and usually the next day we could go back and revise the paper (this has been pretty helpful with the whole procrastination thing in college haha) but if you missed a day when we were writing, it sucked ass. you had to go in during tutorial and type in her room in front of her. tutorial is a 20 minute period before school starts, but this was the only teacher who really required students to come in and talk to her then if they missed class, so there was always a huge line, and you had to sign in to talk to her. i ended up spending a week in there typing every morning before i finished the paper. i made sure never to miss a paper writing day again.
