Is nothing confidential? (I'm just ranting)

Post Reply New Topic

I was talking to my close friend this morning about things as you do, and I asked him where he usually goes at break and he said music room. so I said I go in the "multi agency" (basicly where all the eccentrics hang out ) and I said we all get on etc. and he said "hang out with the psycos?" that was a friendly joke, anyway, I said they arent psycos and he said some of them are slightly autistic aren't they? I said some yes. so he said "you" I was like what how do you know?
and he said he heard the english teacher talking about me to someone and she mentioned that, which annoyed me because I don't want it broadcasted to the school which is what my teacher seems to be doing. anyway he said "you don't make much eye contact" I was like "why have you noticed that?" and he said yes and that I was looking away now, which made me feel really selfconcious.
What I'm saying is at my school I get not privacy, all the teachers talk about me and what they "know". they may aswel announce it on a F-ing mega phone!

I would be very irritated in that kind of situation, if it happened to me.

Go to the principal with or without your parents (better be with them, if your school's any like the schools I've been to at which they won't listen to their students even if they're over 18 ) and complain. That the information isn't to be given to students or other people without your/your parents' consent and, as a part of that, that this information is to be handled confidential which includes not talking about it in a public place (such as a school) and not saying your name or giving any kind of information that could be used to easily identify you.

It's completely inappropriate for teachers to discuss students in that manner, but they all do. If you complain, they may or may not get some variety of a slap on the wrist.

There isn't much point in saying something because I'm leaving soon anyway so I could start on a fresh. tomorrow I'm having my collge interview and I'll tell them not to mention stuff when I get to college, to avoid any embarasment in the future like there has been in school.
When I was in junior school (before the dx) the teachers always used to talk about me because they had suspicions because of what I was like then and they never told my mum about it.

GAAH!! Damned teachers!! Before I even joined my f**ckin middle skool ALL the kids & teachers new and treated me like a ret*d becuz everyone th*t "autistic" meant "ret*d."

I have had something sort of like this happen. My school has this "mentor" program (I forgot what it's actually called) were they have a teacher help make sure you turn in home work. (not following you around, just checking in once a week) This wouldn't be that bad, except that the teacher that had got my name just walked into my GT(this makes it worse, a lot of the kids in regular classes are in the same program) Chemistry class and practicaly yelled "(my name), I need you to fill out these forms for the mentor program. ". I tried to just ignore him, but then he got mad at me, told me to go out in the hall, and then he started yelling at me. Luckily I managed to convince everyone in the class that he had gotten the wrong person, since my first name is very common in my school. Not to mention that the teacher (the one I've been talking about, not the actual teacher for the class) yelling at me made most of the people forget about the forms/mentor program he mentioned.
