Arguments with teachers

Post Reply New Topic

I've gotten into arguements a couple of times.

Once because this was this person next to me who was getting on my nerves by taking over the table, knocking my stuff off and constantly moving it whilst I was writing. Finally I retaliated, and pushed her pencil case off, since it was pretty much on my side anyway. The teacher then starts telling me to apologize, I stand up and start yelling about how she is being biased and how she has done nothing about a situation that has been taking place right under her very nose, she tells me to sit down, I sit down slowly, I'm so angry and unable to do anything about it so I start crying and the teacher tells me to 'stop that pointless crying'. At recess she then tells me that she is sorry, but I had no right to yell at her and should have apologized and all this rubbish.

I'm still fuming over that incident. I hated that school. If I hadn't gone there, I doubt I would be nearly as emotionally unstable.

Could it be that you were emotionally unstable to begin with?



Just a question.

-shrugs- I was always emotionally unstable. But things got alot worse after several experiences at that place.

I was out of control in school.

I'd argue with every teacher I had, everyday that I had them.

My problem is that I always have to have the last say for some reason.
And then the teacher would tell me not to back chat, and then I'd say something in return.
And so on.

Yup, I have dysgraphia. Perhaps the teachers at your school may need to learn about them new fangled things they call computers. You can write papers on them and things, without handwriting.

I fear I'd go off on the teacher if they asked me something like that regarding my child, considering I went through hell with my own problems regarding dysgraphia in public school. Like I'd want to say something sarcastic like, "Yeah discipline. So what discpline do you think is appropriate? I mean, by your logic you must presume that the reason people in wheelchairs don't walk, is cause their lazy, and their parents simply haven't disciplined them enough to make them walk? It's the same thing, you telling my child to do busywork that causes them pain and frustration, because they have a handwriting disability. I'm sorry it doesn't earn as much sympathy points as someone who "looks" like someone who would have a handwriting problem. Oh, should I punish my child for not acting "ret*d" enough to recieve help from you too?"

Alot of people seem to have that attitude, as I found out when my epilepsy returned with a vengence this year - as I've been told, I was only sleeping for 20-22 hours a day and missing all the events I'd waited all year to participate in because I was lazy and didn't want to have to work. And thats the same reason i was applying for disability, have school principals send me home after another teacher brought my condition to their attention, and having school nurses drive me home. I wasn't able to watch a movie straight through without falling asleep because i was faking depression in order to avoid having to work in the real world (which i'd already been doing for 3 years) - it also didn't matter that depression had already been ruled out by a psychologist and therapist.

If I don't wear my eye patch in stores I get mean looks for using food stamps because there is no way a young person who is able to stand, walk, carry and see can possibly be to disabled to do any work. As it is, I often have to have help carrying my groceries back to the house and then need to lay down before I can do anything afterward, and it may have taken me 3 days of rest before I was able to have the energy to go to the store in the first place (thats getting better, but its been worse this week because I'm ill with something). And then alot of the people who know my doctors restrictions insist that I'm not just doing the stuff because I'm lazy- because every 26 year old wants to not be allowed to lock the bathroom door, take a bath, use washcloths, go hungry because it isn't safe to use knifes or cook with a stove, not be allowed to walk on any hills, ride a bike, etc.. I'd been saving my money all last year just so I could take this summer off and have fun. I had 2 weeks left to work to guarantee that would happen when I had no choice but to stop working. By the beginning of summer, my summer money was gone, as was the $2,000 I had saved up for my next European trip, and the money I had put aside to move to wherever I'd end up going to doctoral school next year at. Had thousands of dollars and medical debt and good reason to expect thousands more and was spending quite a few days in the ER and doctor's office. And yet people were claiming I was just applying for government aid because I didn't want to work. I can think of much cheaper and easier ways to be lazy and I have to wonder about someone that thinks incurring several thousands dollars in debt you'll know you have to pay back is a way to get out of working when you had less than 10 days left to work and you could have 3 months without working, and no debt from it

teachers **** me off and i hate how they always have to be right and are afraid of getting surpassed...they are inbreds

My mom has a mom friend who has a daughter with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and it's very similar to your situation.
