Wierd to me that your school let the kids assign roles.

I thought it was weird too, but the theater teacher was so wishy-washy liberal that he thought it was better that way. He basically just provided the costumes, props, materials, and script and wanted the class to figure out who does what, which reinforced the hierarchy of the cool theater kids versus the poor ones.

That sounds really shitty, sorry comrade.

It was one of those idealistic liberal policies that was intended to empower the students and all that but it just made the elitist asshole ones take over and be teenage despots.

yeah sometimes teenagers shouldn't be empowered because teenagers are going to bully each other and frankly need some level of adult supervision

The teacher of that theater class was so permissive that he was barely there at all except to facilitate what the yuppie kids wanted to do.

sounds like he just wanted to be in with the cool kids which is pretty pathetic behaviour from an adult. Sorry you went through that

He was fairly young; I believe it was one of his first years teaching after graduating. Yeah, he did have "fellow kids" energy. yea
