Long story y'all, but hopefully y'all can get the gist.
Im an education major at college. Im one of 2 guys in all my classes, rest is all female. A lot of the girls are just rude, trash talking chicks.
Well a month ago in a psych class I spoke to my professor in front of the entire class about giving us better examples on the material she is covering. She basically said she would if they majority of the class had an issue with it. Well none of the chicks except a few of my friends raised the hands in agreement, but not enough so I was out of luck.
Fast forward to today. We have had 2 tests. Averages on the tests have been 62-65. I have been lucky to make a 74 and 75 on my two tests.
Well today all the girls are flustered and whining to the professor about needing better examples and such........the exact same problem I asked about a month ago.
I sit in the back of the class with a few chick friends and while all the other chicks are making a fuss, I take in a deep breath and breathe out deeply. Well one chick comes unglued because apparently that was incredibly rude on my part and starts to lecture me in front of the entire class. She starts yacking about "You are so rude, if your going to be disrespectful you need to leave, just leave, go leave, leave." She goes on to say "I am trying to better my grade, and you being rude."
A little backstory on this chick. She has always asked for help from me because I am one of the better students in the class. This weekend she texts my phone a ton looking for help on a project that was due today. She and her friends also always get called out on talking a ton in class.
I have always been nice and helpful, but I found out today that she constantly jacks her jaw about me to other folks and then goes off today.
So now to my problem.
We have to write weekly blogs to post on a website. Today in class we were **No joke** learning about attribution error (if someone does bad on a test, they blame the teacher, but if they do good they take the credit).
Well I want to write my blog about how this student and my classmates never backed me up when I had an issue, but when they start failing, this one chick blames me because of how rudely I breathed.
What would be a good witty title for a blog like this to really poke at her? lol

Well as a teacher, I would take the high road and let her hang herself like she is doing. I would not get in a pissing match with some jerk that takes time to text and chat about others and not do her school work. Remember it is a natural consequence if you pass or fail your work.
Keep working on your professor also, it is their job to educate you even if you are the only student with a question.

Im the type of person that will pretty much always take the high road.
I just really wanna lay into her and certain folks by indirectly doing so by making a point through a blog.
Im not going to get in an argument with a person, but I will use my wit to my advantage.

I would refrain from commenting about her due to some kind of school policy
If she calls you out like that , or you feel the need to address her situation publicly before the entire class , I suggest you point out that the learning program in place is {site school policy or standardized policy } is a proven one intended to make
most
{notice I didn't say
all
students } learn the required course within the required time following the mandated policy = throw the issue right back into her lap remember its her problem not yours she cant figure it out while most of the rest of the class gets it , what she is doing is a
attempted transfer of responsibility
she is trying to make her problem
yours
dont fall for it
again point out that your are trying to teach most of the students , not everyone is going to make the grade , you will of course point out to her you will go the extra mile to help her .
Not every student in every classroom in America will get a A+ on their course , everyone is different ...... a nice way of saying she isn't too smart.....
If she steps it up and gets rude after that and makes a public scene , remove her from the class , she is being disruptive and hindering the other students education
I get the same BS out of some folks on this site , sometimes , its rare - cant make everyone happy

I'm with you on calling her out, but in this politically correct, what can you do for me society, it might do you more harm than good.
In this case you're trying to get an education. I'd just let it go. Do your thing, make your grades and let that chick bury herself.
And don't give her anymore help. Wash your hands of her.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

After more thought, I would still take the high road and maybe say I am sorry. That would make her think she has you on her side and then when it is time to come asking for help, you can say, "After your last rant and rave in class, I don't feel comfortable meeting with you or assisting you with your work. I would not want my name connected to you." That will burn her more than anything.
