People Power
I have always had a bit of an issue with people not 'standing up to be counted'.
You know what I mean, mostly people say something but when push comes to shove they disappear muttering under their breath.
Well not this woman!
Today, after much diliberation I put in a formal complaint about twat face, the lecturer with no interpersonal, questionable proffesional skills.
He belittled me in front of 50 other students the other day....about my pencil case!!!!...went on at some length about what he thought about it and how that reflected on me. (its see-through, plain, with tiny Daisy's on it) none of it was complimentary.
Enough. To put me down about my inteligance in criminology is one thing, and sometimes he is quite correct to do it, but a personal attack about my pencil case??? Please!!!
So I wrote about 1000 words of complaint with the head of student services today about all the unprofessional things he has done and sent it to the Dean. I have assureances from all the heads of departments that I need to have that he will not be marking any of my essays from now on, and I think the quote was from three of them "this was just what we hoped would happen"....clearly things were already going on that I knew nothing about.
Anyway when I mentioned to a friend what I had done, she said she wanted to sign it too.
In the end 6 other students signed the statement with me.
I was really suprised.
Firstly that I could make a complaint.
Secondly that I was helped to make it by a lovely lady in Student Services who was fantastic at her job and assured me it wasnt all 'just in my head' but a genuine complaint that was going to be taken seriously, backed up by other heads of department who looked delighted that at last someone was doing something, everytime someone complains about twat face (and there have been alot of people) they are told to go to student services, who say 'do you want to make a formal complaint?'...everyone else said 'no'....this lady...she say 'yes!' .
And lastly by other people standing up and being counted.
It gives me back some faith in human nature.
(however, for the rest of the day I was addressed as Sir Alan!)
