my class has a totally different power dynamic. basically, our teacher is a really flaky woman who never has a class plan together and comes up with the worst ideas for projects. she doesn't even know how to connect the dvd player to the tv, and our class time would usually be spent watching 45 minutes of "american beauty," and talking about how "symmetrical" it was.
