Pet Peeves
Each year, we are asked this same question, “What are my biggest pet peeves?” Each year, I think I will write about the same thing, but I always end up doing something different. Last year, my biggest pet peeve was two-faced people. This year, I have one major pet peeve. It is aides who are not helpful to my success in school.
My pet peeve is aides who are not helpful to me. I have had 8 different aides throughout my school years in PC school district and I have really only liked 3 of them. Having a good aide helps the year go by successfully and makes my life easier. The aide I had in 3rd grade and again in 5th grade was far from helpful. First of all, she did not speak English well, so trying to dictate homework and class work was downright impossible. Half the time, she would be reading a book or writing down what she thought the answer was and not doing her job. My current aide is no exception. She can’t take notes correctly and make studying difficult. For example, in history class last year, her notes would consist of, “Discussed World War II” or “Discussed Ottoman Empire”. I mean, get real, how was I to study based on that! This year, she is starting out the same way again. She tries to take notes but ends up getting everything all messed up. I am a junior in the honors program and I get an aide who would be better suited for taking notes for a first or second grader. This really stresses me out when I need to be focused upon my grades instead of trying to decipher the notes. This is why, when I am in school, Brenda takes notes so I know what the heck was discussed during the class and can go back and study from that.
