My Boring Teacher.

I have the most boring teacher in the world. Her name is Ms. Craig, my Math Teacher, but my classmates and I like to call her Ms. Crazy. I am tired of going to class. It's annoying getting homework every night. Worst of all, my parents are frustrated with my grades in her class. It's all her fault. She is always happy when she sees us. Her voice puts me to sleep. I get really sleepy in her class because of it. It's not because I stayed up late on my phone the night before. She's talkative and knowledgeable, which is very annoying. I don't want to learn anymore. Some would say I'm being lazy, but I'm twelve years old, and I want to have fun. My brain hurts. Of course, I want to attend college, but I don't want to get grey hair before I get there. Anyway. Unlike Ms. Craig, Mr. White, my English teacher, is so exciting. His class is amazing. He's always interesting and captivating. As you can tell by my compliments, he's my favorite.
