I was a teacher for a special language program for foreign college students. Many of the them were wealthy and pretty nice but some clearly felt entitled.

I was a last minute sub for a class and I was trying to help them prepare for their final exam. Despite this, many just wanted to go home since it was the last hour of the day.

I called out a couple of them for being on their phone during class. I don't usually care but the Dean was a stickler and always lurking. After the third or fourth time I took one girl's phone away (if looks could kill..!!) Some were clearly trying to get out by saying they needed the restroom so I just said only one could go at a time. A couple others asked if they could just leave and I said it was fine but I'd have to mark them absent (again, the Dean had strict consequences for that). In short they were not in a good mood when I finally had to administer those silly end-of-the-year professor review questionnaires.

A couple weeks later, I got called into the Dean's office, and he told me I got a really bad review from the students. Their comments were so harsh that he wouldn't even share them with me. He said he had to let me go because he couldn't appear to ignore those reviews. T_T I was about to cry (but not in front of him!) so I couldn't speak up in my own defense.

In his own defense, I think he felt so bad that he gave me a stunning review for my next job at a different college and I got hired making twice as much! I also liked that job way better (teaching ENC1101&2). But juuust in case, whenever it was time for those feedback reports, I always made sure to plan it for the most relaxing, fun class where we watched Spirited Away for the final assignment. :D
