Self Teaching

'''The main goal of high school is to learn and eventually succeed in said learning. Maya wanted to achieve that goal in a class she joined. She knew it was a hard class and she was gonna grind hard to get the golden shiny A+. Maya had the mindset that she’s gonna learn and she will struggle, but with the help of her teacher, she’ll get through it. However, that was not the case. Maya was learning jack shit in that class and she had no idea what to do. This was a different kind of frustrating. The reason for her struggling wasn’t the content of the class, but it was the teaching style of the teacher. Eventually, Maya got so fed up with the teacher’s incompetence that she decided to ask another one of her teachers for advice. That teacher told Maya to politely call him out and ask him for clarification. Maya did just that and went to the incompetent teacher to clarify and seek understanding. Sadly that had no effect. In order to fix this situation, Maya went to the supervisor of that teacher and started to tell the supervisor everything. Luckily for Maya, this worked out and things got much better for her. Soon enough things in that class made sense for Maya and her learning experience was a lot better.'''

Importance of the Story:

'''It’s one thing not to understand something in a class, and it’s a completely different thing when even your teacher doesn’t know how to explain a concept. Here’s the thing: Not all teachers are bad and Maya proved that. Even though she was frustrated with her teacher being incompetent, instead of not doing anything and getting a failing grade, she decided to take the initiative and do something about it. So next time you have an incompetent teacher, talk to him or her about it, and if the problem still persists, talk to their supervisor.'''
