How to say this...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
talk to him and suggest that he allow you to help him clean the tank. do not try to be a wise guy and say this in front of the class. talk to him alone. and if that does not work, leave his tank alone and forget about it.

you don't, most teachers do not liked being challanged. The question is do you care more about the fish.... or your grade in that class.

Fish lol. He can't really ruin my grade for standing up to him, at least not at my school.

I can't wait 'till next year, when I go to highschool. They have a few tanks in the science lab including a RES tank, a big fat oscar, bullfrog tank, and a MASSIVE native tank. You go on collecting trips and catch baby blue gills etc. :)
 
Then go for it. I got tossed from two classes for butting heads with teachers, I was right both times (bit of an ahole about it, but right).

What class does he teach?

Religion. Really the most useless class to me. I already know what I want to be and it has nothing to do with religion, he's not good at teaching, and they teach us the same thing year after year.

I respect him, and I know he's just trying to make a living, but if he brings fish into the classroom, he needs to research.
 
Print out some old threads from here, or an article from a website, or just a neatly typed report on Plecos and Goldfish, and their size and requirements, and tape it to the door, and don't sign your name. Who knows, if you type it yourself and he finds out it was you, he might give you extra credit. If not, he may give you demerits. You never know :ROFL:
 
I might leave him an anonymous note :)

If I remember correctly you're around my age, right bottomfeeder? (I'm 14)

WTF! My high school doesn't do that :(

There was a high school I almost went to in that is required to have an aquarium in every classroom. I saw a 30g community tank with Tetras, Blind Cave Fish (I know, just another kind of Tetra), Danios, amd some kind of exotic Pleco. There is also supposedly an Oscar tank, and I also saw some kind of half-filled Amphibean tank. They also have a partnership with the Coney Island Aquarium, and they regularly go seining on the Coney Island Beach. But my parents didn't like the neighborhood.

no, an anonymous note is offensive and denotes a sense of not having enough respect to come to him like a young man should.
