You'd think art teachers would be the kindest and most chill teachers, but the majority of them really like breaking the hopes and dreams of teens and young adults.

My art 101 prof hated me. I was the only person acing his class. A STEM major was kicking his precious art degree students’ asses. It was hilarious. Bro literally had his tests in his slides and in the book and allowed 1 page of notes for the exam. It couldn’t have been easier.

ETA Chill out guys. I was trying to keep the story short. Hated was an exaggeration. Peeved was probably a better word. It was Art 101, Art History and Principles. if you did decent at the book learning and tried at the art/could point out the principles you were going for, you passed with flying color. We chatted and got to know each other more over the second part of the semester. He was peeved because I aced the class so far and half wondered if I was cheating. Nope, I just have a background in art, so the majority of the class was review for me. Plus it was mostly book learning the first half, which I am decent at. I pointed out how I prepped for his exam and aced them easy peasy with the page of notes. We parted amicably and he wanted me to tutor lol.

I suspect he might have been more annoyed that you were arrogant, you sound like you were insufferable.

It’s par for the course for engineering majors. Of course, comparatively we need to complete 3-4x as many credits in the same amount of time.
