Some teachers just love to give others advice, let alone students important and so-called meaningful advice. This sort of teacher is the type who makes the most of assemblies to talk. Fair enough, talking. However, some make it "all about themselves". I had a particular teacher who is exactly just that.
She treats us all as though we are kids who are not capable of thinking for ourselves. It is true that some high schoolers still have the mentality of a 10-year-old, but most don't. Most of us had enough of her "lectures", telling us what we should do, rather than showing us what we should do by setting a good example.
The teacher is annoying as a ant bite - it does not sting but is absolutely irksome. The more immature, non-thinking people tend to like her because she "helps" them think, and yes she is helpful in that aspect. But the more mature and, perhaps even, the mentally and emotionally independent students, she sees as a threat. She seeks nothing more than controlling the actions (think back to the story of the wrecked, physically battered Bible) of students who could potentially go against her and taint her image as the dominant, powerful woman. (She is also an extreme feminist who thinks that only women, successful in the eyes of the world have got it all. To her, other people are rubbish.)
A touching, moving tribute to us from her is her narrow-minded, condescending words of "wisdom" which reveal her hypocritical, materialistic character which she tries to hide. She writes in the foreword of the Valete 2011 after rambling on about the trustworthiness of the lessons the school has taught, "There may be times when you want to start a family but worry about the implications of your career." If no career, so what? It is up to the individual.
Instead of reprimanding people and making others worship her, perhaps she should set a good example by being a just and fair teacher.
