So today I was at lunch with my friend, and some teachers were giving out passes to go outside. She started passing out passes at my table, but then when she got closer to us she literally just skipped us for no reason. she completely skipped over the rest of my table (that wanted to go outside). A little after that, she literally gave passes to other people across the cafeteria (she ran out of passes before them). Then when she came back to us, we asked for a pass, she just shrugged and said no. After that we were upset. I swear bro I was about to crash out because of these ducking people. She literally gave passes to like one or two people at my table and just completely skipped us. she gave us no attention bro. We were raising our hands high so you can see them. You HAVE to raise your hand to get a pass. This shit really makes me question my faith in school, and just humanity bro. They aren't the absolute worst people there, but it could be better, Like this other time where my table was the last to leave because we started clapping. There is a bunch of other stuff i can talk about but i don't want to keep you reading me for too long bye

I'm Asperger and probably ADHD and sometimes the class is extremely boring and I don't understand a lot and I distract for like 3 LITERAL seconds and the teacher has finished explaining and I want to ask her/him if she can explain to me more clearly and she/he says "I already explained 5 times" when she/he only explained like 0.5 times and not very clearly, then I ask him again and he/she keeps refusing and saying "you're wasting time of the class" YOU DUMBASS PRIMATE YOIRE THE ONE WASTING TIME BY REFUSING AND NOT WANTING ME TO LEARN

Have you ever noticed how everything you need in real life is taught in school but not in school? For example, I can memorize the Pythagorean theorem, but I don't even know what a mortgage is or how to file my taxes. However, I can tell you each element's atomic number! 🥲

We spend years memorizing knowledge that Google can provide in 0.5 seconds because the system is so flawed, but we never learn how to handle real-life situations like budgeting, job interviews, or basic mental health. I can't even ace life, but they expect us to ace tests.

Even though I doubt I'll ever utilize quadratic equations again, it would be wonderful to know how to prepare food other than ramen.

TW; mention of sexual harassment.

1. I was facing death threats from other students because I accidentally hit a girl with a basketball when they stood right under the hoop(for context, I'm a guy but I am trans, at the time I hadn't come out socially or transitioned medically, and I was a smaller girl/I still haven't come out or transitioned socially/medically). Told the school, school did nothing.

. 2. All throughout middle school and somewhat highschool, the teachers didn't listen and excused the fact I was being m0lest3d/sexually harassed by two of my "friends" because The girl was a year younger than me so it couldnt be that bad. There was a second girl who would try to touch me even when I resisted. The teacher literally watched this happen and did nothing. . 3. I walked into the bathroom and smelled smoke. To be honest I went in there just to check because I could smell it from the hall. Told the teachers, teachers didn't do shit. (I have asthma and it could potentially harm other students with it to be in a bathroom literally FOGGY BECAUSE OF SMOKE). . 4. P.E teacher. When students were tired of physically couldn't play whatever sport or activity we were doing, we had to sit out against a metal fence's poles and it's was always over 90° outside. The classes lasted an hour. I almost passed out a lot of the time. A girl actually did before and had to be taken out of the school in a wheelchair. P.E teacher faced no consequences. . 5. When I was the new kid who had come in half way through the school year, obviously I didn't have the fucking syllabus and didn't know what I needed +teacher never mentioned or gave it to me, she got mad and gave me low grades just for not having an individual binder for her class alone(we couldn't afford to buy it at the time). Same thing recently happened in another class. . 6. I had a bad friend group. They berate and hit me. I told other teachers. They did nothing. I shared a class with those friends, and the teacher in that class would watch and laugh. . I have a lot more but tbh these are some of the things I could think of off the top of my head. I apologize for my grammar of any spelling issues, I rushed when typing.

tdlr: 12M asked teacher “does he season his chicken” and subsequently suspended for 3 days, which seems extreme. I’m pissed at the school.

I’m white (42F), my kids are biracial (black father). Apparently the other day, some kid told my son (12M) to ask one of his 6th grade teachers “do you season your chicken?”, so he did. He and none of the other kids around him really understood the “joke” because one of his other friends asked what does that mean? And my son didn’t know. When he came home he asked his sister (13F) and she said she guessed it was supposed to be racist.

Today a dean from the school (we live in panhandle Florida) called me and said that this teacher wrote my son a referral because he has been disruptive in class with warnings before and then asked this question of the teacher in front of the class. The school decided it was a level 3 (on a 4 level matrix) disrespect offense and gave him one day out of school suspension and two days in school suspension. I was pretty livid and think that’s pretty extreme for a kid who doesn’t get in trouble. I asked how the question was considered disrespectful per their code of conduct description, especially if it wasn’t asked with malicious intent, and did the teacher tell my son he felt it was inappropriate? The response was well “disrespectful” was subjective and the teacher felt it was disrespectful. They told me to take it up with the principal of the school, she was of course “off site” today. So I’ll be back Monday morning to speak to her.

The referral from the teacher states “student has been given multiple warnings for disruptive behavior; today out loud in class he asked if “I season my chicken?” Not only inappropriate, but disruptive and in bad taste”. Are people really this big of snowflakes now? The follow up comments state “when asked (today) if it was racially motivated, the student admitted that he understands why it was”. To me and because I know he came home from school and asked if it was inappropriate, and the way that was worded wasn’t it was racially motivated when he said it, just that he now understands how it could be taken that way.

Am I wrong to raise a stink with the school on Monday?

There are definitely bad kids in our schools. I wish we could be honest in our position.

I have a method of pulling another screen on my test during lockdown browser, but i dont know if lockdown browser records your screen. even if it does would it show on the recording?

I'm in a vocational program to learn job skills, and there was this one time when I was baking cookies with the group. The teacher kept nagging me, asking, "Have you found it yet?" I responded, "I just need one moment, please. I'm currently looking for it." Then she yelled at me like I was in kindergarten.

Also, I use a fanny pack to help carry important stuff like my phone and charger. I have my phone in case I need to set timers, and the charger so if my phone dies, I can leave it in a room to charge. But she won’t even let me bring my charger in my pocket. She’s very discriminatory and likes to assume something is wrong, constantly asking if I’m okay or if I want to talk about it.

I don’t feel anywhere near comfortable sharing how I feel with her. Respectfully, if I were feeling some type of way, I have the right to refuse to give her that information. It’s my choice, and my choice alone, whether or not I want to share anything about my mental health outside of the program.

Honestly, I feel like this vocational program, which is affiliated with the school district, is a breeding ground for discrimination. Sometimes I come home feeling miserable inside.

I feel like this subreddit is just formed by kids who don’t want to study or people too stupid to finish school. I only found this because it popped up in my notifications and the first post I saw is “Why can’t we boycott school?”

I wanted to start a thread about the Diocese of Broken Bay in NSW.

I know a number of things are happening there, and recently they have moved to an incorporation ownership model.

This is because there are a number of current lawsuits against them.

Malpractice, negligence, educational neglect, poor or non existent reporting methods and other illegal practices that god only knows exist.

I know teachers in the DBB system are hurting under the leadership also and many are burned out, and scared for their livelihoods under a dictatorial regime lead by Danny Casey.

Anyone have any experiences to share? I thought I’d start this thread so that people out there suffering currently don’t feel alone.

So let me provide the background. I'm 47/m living paycheck to paycheck. When I started junior high, my dad bought a house in a very nice white collar suburb despite being a blue collar worker. He did this thinking the schools there would give me a better chance, but he was oh-so very wrong.

I had NO friends in town, much to my dad's consternation. Even getting frustrated because I had to bike a town over to visit actual friends. All he knew is I didn't get along with local kids, but he didn't know why. And I don;t dare, even to this very day, tell him what really happened.

You see, I got mercilessly picked on and occasionally got the crap knocked out of me from sixth grade to graduation. School staff ignored my pleas for intervention until one day, a random classmate caught me around a corner and slammed a textbook into my face, breaking my nose. After an ambulance coming by to set my nose, the vice principal (the actual principal couldn't be buggered to do anything) pulled me into his office to have a little talk before my dad come to pick me up.

He wanted me to tell my dad it was an accident. And to my depressed low self esteem teenaged self, I went along with his explanation. To paraphrase, he said "Your dad doesn't know how things work in these kind of towns and if he knows the truth, it can do more harm than good. Your schoolmates have a future. Their parents have high expectations of them. It's brutal and they need an outlet. If you end up with a bloody nose here and there, so be it. Otherwise they'll release all that negative energy elsewhere that can hurt their future. You don't have much of a future, but you can give them one."

I bought this line of BS hook line and sinker throughout junior high and high school. I did the bare minimum to graduate and I completely piddled away my college years (still paying off a student loan). I never told anyone, especially my dad, even over 30 years later. I was a source of much vexation for him, having no local friends, having no motivation to do anything. If I tell him this, it will just break his heart.

This whole thing has been hovering over me like a ghost lately. If I didn't let this get me down when I was a kid, would I have been more motivated to build a better future for myself? Would I have turned out better than a 47 year old customer service employee? I also wonder if schools still pull this BS? No kid should EVER be a lightning rod for their privileged classmates. I piddled away my high school and college years thinking I'll always be nothing. And now I am nothing. And it just isn't fair.

So ive always had trouble in school and im diagnosed with adhd and my teacher wants me to ask my guidance counselor if i could get some extra things to try to help me learn but i feel embarrassed about doing so. I want to be able to do well but everything comes to fast and im only in one AP class but its all just too much for me. Should i go get extra help?

If you live in indiana and have a kid or are a kid you will know about the retart who mad we it so kids can't miss more than 6 days. Now me personally I get sick moreoften than six days so if I was still in school I would be screwed so this needs to change. Because after those six days you need a doctor's note racking up medical bills costing you a ton of money. Also you can't even send your sick kid to school and have them come home then ecause it counts the same fucking way.

Just saw this and thought i feel weary of the school system still some Karen’s think schools and education are the best. I suffered from bullying low wellbeing mental health problems; absolutely no help from teachers. What they wanted to see grades. I wish someone changed it thinking we also need to be educated about life skills not just maths and science

https://youtube.com/shorts/qV3T30R15X0?si=EpDfH469FoCbft7w

I swear, you can get a math problem with 2x6, and then when you think you got it done, NOPE! YOU STILL NEED TO LEARN THE MEANING OF LIFE, HOW TO BUILD A CAR, START A BUISNESS, RULE THE GALAXY, AND GET BITCHES like bro its just a math problem why tf do i have to read the bible😭

excuse my ignorance.

When I used to go to middle school and high school in the 2001-2007, we had cooking classes, wood working, metal working, computer science, art, music, health, and your typical science, social studies, English and math.

now that I have kids and they are in middle school, one in elementary. She has a choice of art OR orchestra/band/chorus. and she chose orchestra and play violin, but it also shares the same period as gym which also shares the same period as health class. so odd days are orchestra and even days are gym, gym happens for 2 weeks then health class replaces gym on even days for 2 weeks then back to gym.

O_O.......is school system down this bad????

also my elementary sons teacher sends home packets telling us parents to "teach" kids about various things like vocab in this weeks reading selections and so on..... I'm like what????? isn't that supposed to be your job??

Also, when did all the textbooks disappeared? They gave us a tiny Chromebook for all subjects. In my opinion it is not good for the eyes if you need to study and you can only have 1 page opened up from any subject at any given time. Also, THEY NEVER GET HOMEWORK. What is going on!?

Richmond, Virginia area by the way.

Any and all stories/comments welcomed, just be nice to each other!

I get what they’re trying to do, maybe I’m being weird about this. They sent this home to my 10 year old daughter after her school guidance counselor demanding that this be filled out. What’s everyone else’s opinions?

My school is in Illinois and has a lock on the toilets but not the urnal how is this legal if it is because I had to take a shit and the thing was locked they lock all of them in the school for the males can I sue them for this? Or what do they expect me to do shit in the gate? Or urnal.

it’s fucked up that all i see on snap chat are story’s of people saying that they are going to shoot up their schools. they post about how the kid who shot up Appalachian hs is fucked up and should rot in hell for his actions, yet the kids at that school bullied him and the police literally said his dad helped him and his mom was aressted for gta a year before, the police already had an investigation on this kid a year before. and when he posted photos about the fact he was going to do it they laughed and did nothing yet it happened the next day. now there are thousands of kids posting and sending treats to school. it’s immature and fucked. and the school shooting prevention sucks too. it’s the school environment which causes most of them to feel to want to do that, the school environment sucks if you’re a little different and quiet you’re “emo”. they all make fun of you if you’re different it’s a shit environment and when these kids cry out for help online and do drastic stuff like drugs and sh they do nothing and say there is something wrong with them when the kids caused it. it’s fucked up. on top of that how is hiding in a class with lights off going to help, it’s not you’re trapped in a class and you literally have no where to go it’s not safety it’s a damn death box.
