I would explain your situation in full to your supervisor and ask for his/her help in bringing this up the chain, because this is definitely not okay, and the school's management would definitely want to step in if this teacher is doing something shady.

This is very much the case. There is almost certainly a grievance and/or appeal process in place for circumstances like this, and with your degree on the line I would strongly suggest finding out what steps you would need to take in what timeframe--so often in the legal (or quasi-legal, in this case) process, making deadlines and abiding by proper procedure is key.

The supervisor is on his side and is doing his best to help Sky.

Unintentional rhymes are fun.

Well, Kongou is Teitoku-obsessed and she sank with two admirals on board. That makes sense since she died as a flagship. Also since she's British, and the Kongous were British designed, we can assume they have some stereotypically British traits like the love of tea and the stiff upper lip. Hiei's rash and hotheaded and was literally hotheaded when Callaghan's cruisers set her on fire off Guadacanal on Black Friday. That fits. Haruna takes the stiff upper lip to an extreme with all the "I'm daijobu" and was the survivor of her class before getting sunk in harbor in the dying days of the war. That fits since of the four she was all right to the end. Kirishima's the one obsessed with analyzing the situation and making sure her equipment works, and Mic-Check-Chan was ambushed by Washington off Guadacanal in a battle where electrical equipment failure on South Dakota was one of the key factors. So again, that's a reference.

Now why they are happy and zany and mad as a box of frogs...coping mechanism perhaps?

Uh, Haruna was sunk in harbor. No Canned Sunshine involved.

Because Kongo is happy and zany from the start and her sisters imitate her? That's my headcanon, at least.

You know, it says something that one of us reaches for the teacup cat, one of us reaches for THE LIST and one of us reaches for the lewds...

Actually, it's the other way around.

Akebono is a tsundere. The more she likes someone, the worse her attitude gets. It's a sign of immaturity, and not knowing how to express properly feelings of attraction. Maturing tends to remove the Tsundere behavior.

So, in any case, she'd be the same or worse, assuming she matured during the war.

Or that she was somewhat shy and looked up to command, got betrayed again and again, and developed the shell as a defense mechanism... which also implies that she wasn't able to mature and still remains as a hurt child at heart. Damn that's tragic... and depressing.

Wonder how Mrs. Lewis, my 6th Grade Math teacher, is doing...if she ever got that promotion to Chef Oberaufseherin she was pushing quite hard for. :D

Less-happy and less-zany Kongos are not true Kongos. That is all.

To make you feel better (perhaps), go look at Harry Lefert's HP/Kancolle crossover. Akebono has been put with an 'Admiral' who basically told his higher-ups 'fuck the police', when they deliberately sent her out (and Kasumi, the other 'troublesome' DD) to their deaths, without backup. He flew out, personally, in a Helo, jumped into the ocean alongside the CSAR diver IN HIS DUTY UNIFORM, and got them home safe, even though they were almost sinking. He got dumped into the shittest base position possible in the JMSDF, and both girls are all but limpeted to his side. And he WILL fight (literally) anyone that hurts them.

She & Kasumi both call him 'shitty admiral' all the time, but everyone who knows them, knows full well that neither she nor Kasumi would ever leave him. And that's before the rest of his 'misfit' fleet starts showing up (a cross-dressing/ventriloquistisc battleship, a USN repair tender that feels abandoned, and a lewdmarine that makes Iku/Hachi look like nuns).

And the first time he tries to go on a date with another woman, said woman will regret even glancing at him to begin with. :D

Akebono: *glaring* Shitty Admiral is OURS!
Kasumi: Yeah!

Well, the tsundere behavior is a remain of the phase "girls/boys are idiots" that most of us leave behind when entering puberty. No one reverts to tsundere, so you can safely assume that she (and possibly Kasumi too) went tsuntsun on the IJN officers at the time the brass were all about apearances and proper respect due to rank and all that shit, and got in serious trouble.

Another possibility for both is that they served under officers they didn't give a shit about, and treated them "by the book" or neutrally, thus not maturing, and keeping their <TSUN> for an officer they could respect and NOT! love. Nosiree.

We're actually awaiting the moment that Air Defense Princess (Aeroprin) meets him for the first time.

Hilarity Ensues is going to be the understatement of the decade.
 
Depending on how this week goes (I'm currently holding out hope of being transferred for the remaining month or so to a middle school in my hometown) I'm hoping to update this weekend.

Yes.

The Spanish Army used to arrest things that caused accidents ending in injury or death of military personnel. I've heard stories of arrested showers, doors, and course obstacles. They even put a sign on the arrested object.

No one is really sure if they learned their lesson when the arrest was lifted, though.

I'm not sure they do that anymore. They did it when Franco was alive, and I think they kept doing it while mandatory service in the Armed Forces was in place, to instil in the troops the sense that not just anyone but anything could be arrested for not doing what the Army expected them to do. This kind of weirdness really puts in your mind the fact that "we are not in Kansas anymore, Toto", and that logic doesn't dictate your life, only your Drill Sargeant has that privilege. Perfect for turning a bunch of scared and unwilling civilians into a cohesive unit.
