At the Mercy of My Tutor’s Intellect [F]

I am sick of having to analyse and discuss what someone else perceives as an important aspect of any given text, especially if I can’t help but see something differently to how they see. It would be nice to be graded based on my ability to express my own thoughts once in a while. It’s so annoying. I understand what’s wanted, but I don’t want to waste my time writing what they expect to read. What is the point of that?

‘This is a hoop.’ Yes.’ ‘This is how you jump.’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Show me you can jump through the hoop.’ ‘Yes.’ *Jumps.* ‘Good, although the way you jumped through wasn’t the way I was expecting you to. B-minus.’ ‘Piss off!

That was an abstract analogy, sure, but there is truth behind what I believe. I’m trying to avoid thinking that maybe it’s just me who has a problem with patriarchal authority, although that can’t be the only reason. I don’t agree with this grading process either way.
