like, i could ask someone “do we have history homework?”
and they’d say: “HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!? ASK THE DAMN TEACHER WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THIS”
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
If you were in the lesson, you should know. If you were absent it is then a fair question.
i was not there
Then that’s fair, if it’s a friend. If its a random person they may feel you should ask the teacher directly. But I may have a dated view since we had no way to communicate with the teacher when I was in school, other than in class.
It was indeed a friend
Are they really a friend if they react to a simple question like that?
I never understood that.
Why the fuck would you want to talk to the teacher? I mean, yeah, some folks do, but as a general rule of school, students don’t want to spend any more time around teachers than absolutely necessary. I don’t think that’s a wise choice, but it’s the default.
So, of course you want to ask a friend, or even a neutral fellow student instead. Number one, the teacher requires an extra trip to wherever the teacher is, your friend is right there. Even if you’re in the class, the teacher is waaaaaay up there at the desk or board, or whatever.
However, if you ask it a lot and it isn’t because you missed class, they may have a point. Because, damn dude, pay attention when the teacher is assigning the work.
i only ask when im absent
