I had to withdraw from an English class I actually needed for my major this semester. Which, frankly put me a semester behind in my progress, it's possible I could have graduated early if I hadn't had my hand forced.It all started when I transferred into this bumbling moron's class and he started refusing to call my name during attendance roll call. Then after he'd call everyone's name he would say "Is there anyone I forgot?" which would force me to have to raise my hand and give my name - which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have social phobia. So it would put me on the spot when he did that and put me through a lot of unnecessary aggravation and stress.
I emailed him about it and he lied and said I wasn't on his roll call list and to contact my advisor about it. I did and she showed me that I was in fact enrolled in the course, which i knew all along. Then I showed up to class again and he finally called my name during roll call. He did that for a day or two then went back to pretending my name wasn't on the roll call list. I emailed him about it and he kept BSing and it ultimately led to a bit of a flame-war on my part, especially when he suddenly decided to tell me that if I showed up without a physical copy of the textbook on my desk, and had my cellphone and laptop out at any time, or left early (I would sometimes leave five or ten minutes early, which actually isn't against the school rules - anything less than 15 minutes early is fine), he'd mark me absent.
Long story short I actually had to request a formal hearing against this guy. He lied through his teeth during the entire hearing because he knew it was my word against his, and the fact that I flamed him during my emails destroyed my credibility. He did actually mark me absent for having my laptop out and stuff like that - things half the class did on a regular basis and he never complained about it. One guy had out a Kindle ebook copy of the text, not a physical copy, and spoke to the teacher in class and was scrolling through it right in front of him and the teacher didn't complain to him about it at all.
At my school three marked absences is an automatic fail. I asked him how many absences he'd marked me down for. He said "five", then later told me he'd give me "amnesty" (whatever the hell that meant), and initially I rejected it but a couple hours later I showed up at his office to agree to the terms because I needed the course for my major. I went to ask for the full terms and details of the agreement and he wouldn't go into that; instead, he started trying to lecture me like he was my dad or something (the guy is six years younger than me), and wouldn't give the specific details of the agreement.
It was like me agreeing wasn't good enough for him, like he wanted to rub it in or get me to grovel or holler Uncle first or something. I ignored his irrelevant side-speech and just asked him again calmly, what the terms of the "amnesty" were at which point he told me to just drop the course. I did because I had no choice.
i wound up having to take a bunch of sport and rec classes to make up for the credits I lost when I had to withdraw from that class. and that was probably for nothing, because I'm probably still on academic probation after this semester. Not only did he throw my college career off track by an entire semester, he set in motion a chain of events that nearly put me getting my degree in peril - and for what? I still have no idea. I was never rude in class. As soon as I came in there he started playing games.
What do you see in the synastry and composite? I'll post the charts.
