ok, so there is this one professor that is mad at me b/c i'm not getting my degree in his department. to make things crazier, i haven't even taken a class from this professor, he just heard that i was good at the subject from the other teachers.

at the beginning of the semester, i was going to take a required lab class from him, but he basically threatened to fail me on the first day of class in front of the WHOLE class before we even started doing anything. (luckily i was able to drop the class and take it from a cool professor at another college nearby)

so today, i went to go check out in lab class, he grabbed me by the back of the neck with one hand and grabbed my arm with the other when i was walking. i googled it. haha. that is not a "loving" grab. it's actually the sign of an abuser. i just thought he had NO right to do that to me. what a jerk.

my goal is to be the best dentist i can be. not to be a pawn of some crazy professor that just wants me to major in his department to make himself look good (when he actually did NOTHING to help make me successful). it just makes me mad, b/c he acts like i owe him something or i owe the department something.

wrongo, i don't owe the department anything. i PAY to go to school, in more ways than one. i'm the one who put the effort into studying and everything. it's just so annoying to me. i was afraid he'd call up the dental schools i got into and tell them i wasn't good or anything.

after his little grabbing me by the neck crap today, i actually am glad that i'm not majoring in his department so he can gloat over "making me". serves him right.

Wow, that professor sounds mentally ill...but it looks like every school has a few of these so just pay that no mind....finish strong and continue to pursue your dreams.

sorry about sounding depressing...its b/c of all the craziness that goes down at my college.

i can't wait to get out of here and finally start pursuing my dream in august!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

Uhh yeah, assuming your story is completely accurate, you definitely could threaten to or actually press charges; hell after your account of him saying he'd fail you in that class just in the beginning I'd speak to him privately, else I'd talk to the department head about it, especially if you have a friend or classmate willing to vouch for you. Of course, at this point it sounds like you probably don't care, and I'm also guessing this guy is tenured and would take a hell of a lot of work to do anything to.

education is a privilege..
you, nor any of us are entitled to a post-secondary education..

back in the day, everyone felt it was a privilege to go to school, and this is probably why he is mad.

now we have people like me running around trying to argue for marks because we think we are entitled to not only go to school, but that hard work entitles us to good marks in school. It's a hard habit to get out of - I admit. However, the mindset is poisonous and infectious.

weird story. you need to tell a dean about it, he is totally out of line. i could easily see myself in a physical altercation if he grabbed me as you describe.

also contach, i think you're pretty wrong. its not a privilege to be treated appropriately at a college that we applied to and were accepted at, and pay for.

are you female? this is weird. i probably would have socked him if a prof ever grabbed me like that. or at lesat pushed him away and told someone right away.

CREEP

Why dont you just tell the professor that you're going to medical school and tell him to **** himself.
