Dear Form Tutor,
Wasn't your biggest fan, but thanks for letting me unofficially move groups, listening to my rants about the many failings of the school. You were alright.
Dear Head of Year,
Thank you for making me cry and telling me I didn't care after a set of not great mock results, convincing me I was apathetic when I wasn't and destroying any self confidence I was beginning/ could hope to muster. Also shoutout to the dozen of promises you made to me in front of my parents only to never act on any of them or speak to me again for the rest of the school year. You epitomised the way the school failed so many of my year group.
Dear Drama Teacher 1,
You were great but just disappeared. Where did you go? Bye, I guess?
Dear Drama Teacher 2,
Thank you. Your patience cannot be understated. Thank you for treating us like humans and not just exam robots, for understanding when we needed breaks and being a legend. You kept me sane, made me laugh and go me through a subject I grew to not care for. Thanks for it all.
Dear English Teachers,
To my main one- thank you for never giving up on me. You held me accountable and refused to let me fall to the wayside. Every re write, every late homework you held me to. Thank you.
To the rest of you- you were my favourite department (except the head of Year) thanks for breakfasts, all the effort you put into our revision in class. I hope it all paid off.
Dear French Teachers 1&2,
To number 1- learn French and how to mark assessments for the spec you teach.
Number 2- why did you have to leave? Shortest amount of time was with you but you were 100% my favourite of the crappy Teachers we had.
To French Teacher Number 3,
Thanks for ignoring me in class, pulling me out of history (10 lessons consecutively) to do controlled assessments I had to repeat out of class anyway, disregarding any other subjects any of our class took as important and contributing very little to my French GCSE and being completely heartless when I was upset by a bad result that I worked hard for. Frankly, the head of languages (Spanish teacher) did more than you.
To the RE teacher who didnt teach me,
Thank you. For keeping my faith in the school. Making me not feel like a failure when I was denied early study leave and for being great in my last year. You will be greatly missed. And for making my most hated subject fun.
Dear Maths Teacher,
...I tried. You were a good teacher. But you missed stuff out we needed, and couldn't keep our class under control (to be fair it was disruptive af). Let's hope for a good results day.
Dear Science Teacher,
Thanks for being a comeplete lad. For laughing with us, joking with us and not understanding physics with us. Seriously though I am convinced you taught yourself P7 before you taught us. Let's not forget the re assuring that I needed before the exams. Cheers for that.
PS the whole school is convinced your having an affair with one of the PE staff. Can we get some clarity on that? Please?
Dear RE Teacher 1,
Lessons were funny but I learnt very little. Still you got me from a D to a B so thanks.
Dear RE Teacher 2,
Much as I liked you as a person your lessons were dull. I learnt a lot though. So thank you.
Dear History teacher,
Thank you for your support during year 10, marking the extra papers I did and for the motivational talk right before exams began. It meant a lot.
To the Head of History,
Thank you for making me laugh, re assuring me at the end of each exam, and giving me help and resources when I asked. You are the reason I'm taking A Level History.
Dear Mr Bruff and Primrose Kitten,
You weren't my Teachers but I feel obliged to thank you both for saving my grades and giving me more confidence before each exam. Especially to Mr Bruff who got in on the meme action on twitter after each exam.
