About 90% of the class is composed of Arabic people. And this particular bunch is notorious for talking during class. When the teacher's speaking in front.
I had done my lab and homework in the morning during theory. I had finished right before lunch, so the teacher asked me if she could instead look at my work after lunch. I said all right.
When we get back, she informs me she'll give the students the last 5 minutes of theory and then check my work.
#15: KILL YOURSELF TWO
Teacher: OK, now we're gonna talk about the Switch instruction, which...
*everyone's speaking Arabic among each other*
Teacher: Excuse me! French only in class please. Speak whatever language you want during breaks or after school, but as long as you're in class, it's against the rules to speak any other language than French.
*everyone keeps speaking Arabic among each other*
Teacher: Looks like I haven't made myself clear. We want to understand each other. And if everybody speaks in a different language, we won't know what you're saying.
*silence*
Teacher: Now, the Switch command
*arabic* is really useful since
*arabic* it can do more than the IF ELSE we were used to before.
*arabic-arabic-arabic* For example... Hey!
*everyone keeps speaking Arabic among each other*
Teacher: Haven't you listened? FRENCH IN CLASS.
Idiotess: But there are some expressions that can't be translated!
Teacher: And that's exactly why you won't say them in the first place.
Me: Someone speaks Arabic to someone else. Who says he didn't just say "Hey, that dude in the red shirt is a dumbass"?
*laughter*
Teacher: Continuing with the Switch statement...
*everyone keeps speaking Arabic among each other*
Teacher: ...
Idiot #1: (this one wasn't Arabic) It's for learning! I'm trying to immerse myself in the Arabic language!
Teacher: You'll do it outside class!
Me: (I speak to a Peruvian) Hey [Bob], do you speak Spanish?
Bob: *laughs*
Me: 'Cause if you do, I have a devilish plan in my mind!
*laughter*
*Another idiot stands up to go fool around with the network's patch panel*
Teacher: ...
Idiot #2: ...?
Teacher: Sit.
Idiot #2: But my Inter--
Teacher: Sit!!
*Idiot #2 gets back to his seat, grumbling*
*everyone keeps speaking Arabic among each other*
At this point, the teacher leans herself on top of a computer monitor, crosses her arms over it and lowers her head on her arms. She stays in this position for a few moments before giving me a "come here" motion.
I open up my computer to show her my work.
Me: The OR check's here, the two others there. For this one, I used this way but...
Teacher: Here, do it that way next time, it'll be shorter.
Me: That's what I thought. Well, that's everything?
Teacher: Yep. Have a good weekend. (Then, whispering
We ain't out of the woods yet...
Me: I know. Good luck!
*everyone keeps speaking Arabic among each other*
I check my watch as I exit the class. 40 minutes have elapsed and the teacher hasn't had the opportunity to finish a 5 minute speech.
