![Dean & Rory • The Night We Met [Gilmore Girls]](/img/n.gif)
There is a HORRIBLE Special Ed teacher at my old elementary school. She would gossip and talk to the other teachers and not help the kids. She yelled at me "How do you not know this. We've been learning this since the first day of school" and got mad at me because I couldn't figure out a math thing. (I was in there because of my math disability) She would baby and infantilize us. She gave us a toothbrushing paper to complete while she was out of the room for 2nd graders and we were in the 5th grade. She angrily complained about a non-verbal kid's mom right in front of all of us. She is an awful person. I don't know if it's the school's fault or her fault.
Honestly I think it's both
@epicgamer23 My old elementary school has something on their website to send anonymous messages about incidents or bullying and I submitted something about the teacher the other day on there. You should check if your school's website has something that says "Anonymous Alerts" and fill it out about the teacher or class.
Find her. Then send her the song "You're an Awful Person"
Because she fucking is.
"You're horrible"
"And everybody round you hates you"
"You're horrible"
"Your special spot in hell awaits you"
"You're horrible"
"And all you ever do is hurt them,"
"When will they see that you're an awful person?"
I was told that all special ed students where violent "ret*rds" who wanted to hurt me for no reason.
I had a teacher VERY SIMILAR, while i wasn’t in her class i was an assistant for the kids during specials, lunch, before and after school. I heard what she said about those kids- even complained about a kids mom when the kid was IN THE ROOM, thinking the kid wouldn’t tell because they were nonverbal-
i almost guarantee you, it’s partially the schools fault for enabling her and her fault for doing it
I'm so sick of the excuse "if i make accommodations for you i gotta give the people who don't have a disability accommodations too!"
Teacher are weird, it's like, even if the kids who don't need it ask for accommodations, and they're respectful of others who do need them...why would that be a problem?
If anything it would help kids who don't go through the things some of us experience, to understand how we live and how our minds work?
(I'm actually really curious about this. If you want to, would you explain what type of accommodations you asked for, so I can maybe go off that for when I go write my GED exams?)
In third grade my teacher scolded me for coloring outside the lines and I had a full blown meltdown. Now I draw freelance online and at art shows lol.
I always loved art, Heck I come from a artistic family so they're very supportive
ill never not be mad at the idea of "correct" art being taught to kids so young
@@meanbagbeanbagturtle8618 this so much, I only recently got back into drawing after several years of thinking I hated it because I got bad grades in art class
@@moiaussi7722 Same! When I got into middle school I fell out with art because I absolutely hate it at school. Picked up my old art stuff a few weeks ago and remembered just how fun it is when it's just me and my imagination and not caring how weird my drawings may look to others.
@@meanbagbeanbagturtle8618 'Correct' art is stupid. There's no one good way to draw. My style may look not at all realistic but it's still cool and most of all I love and enjoy drawing in it.
The first day I went to school, I hated the amount of kids there was, and that my mom wasn't staying...SO I started crying, begging my mom to take me home.
What did my elementary teacher do?
She put me in a chair next to her, INFRONT of the whole class, where parents would come up and talk to her, and question why I was crying...
That happened for almost the whole year, every day, not once did she try and comfort me, or allow me to sit outside, away from all the people and noise!
I cried every first day of school until 5th grade...
And the teachers only told me to stop being dramatic...I was lucky enough to have better teachers in 5th grade and up. ( the school was extremely poor, yet those teachers treated me better than all the "high class" schools I went to.)
Now I'm on medication for treating my autism symptoms.
And I dropped out of school in 11th grade, because I couldn't take the quite atmosphere of the finale exams...
Here's to hoping I get my GED next year🙃
P.s.Thanks for another great video❤🇿🇦
I’m just like you I have dropped out of tenth grade this year because school was just too hard for me to deal with on top of my anxiety and adhd I’m hoping to get my ged this summer
@@oliviaburge9579 That's great, I'm starting myne in Desember, so I can get my things in order before having to study...
Do you have any plans when you get it?
(It's okay if you don't, I took most of my Grade 11 just to decide if I wanted to do GED)
@@ruuuuroth4831 I’m planning to get a real estate license and work with my mom in real estate. I don’t really have anything planned after that but I know I’m not planning to live very far away from my parents because I need support with my mental health. For right know I’m working on my life skills (doing dishes without being told to, remembering to take my meds, being independent) because I don’t really have those skills and also working on hobbys
@@oliviaburge9579 That sounds great, I'm happy you have family to support you, they sound great🌹
Best of luck for your future, and hope you have a good year of studying❤
Sounds like a great plan! I’ve told my children they are welcome to stay with me as long and they want/need. I myself moved back in with my parents many times because of my mental health. 💙💙 We all do life how we do it and there is no right or wrong way!
7:06 I actually dropped out of my school's 'gifted' program, because they tried to instill this thinking into us. Like the teacher would literally tell us "You're only here because you're smarter than the other students. They didn't do anything for us that was different from the regular classes, and to be honest, we usually spent the time in the gifted classroom doing stupid shit. Like my first day after being accepted, the teacher did nothing, and the boys in the class (I was the only girl) spent the whole 30 minutes watching Weird Al parodies on CZcams. Another time we spent a week putting together a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Another time we did perler bead art. But mostly we just did the homework for our regular classes, like some glorified study hall.
It was such a monumental waste of time out of my school day, but the school acted like it was such a massive honor to be accepted because it meant you were 'better' than the rest of the school. I said fuck that, and I walked out. And immediately, I was accosted for it. For months, I had teachers telling me 'Oh, I guess you just couldn't cut it, huh?" or "So the gifted program was too difficult for you?". And the following year, the teacher for the program even came to me the first week of school saying "You do know you won't get the chance to join again this year since you dropped out last year, right?" Like trying to make me feel bad for not staying in it when there was literally no reason to stay.
There was this kid at my old middle school who was autistic and needed to use the bathroom often due to medical issues. The special ed teacher wouldnt let him go more than once per class period and had him stand in a single floor tile if he cried. It was horrible.
I had petit mal seizures as a kid. My school and all my teachers were well aware of it, and of the plan for if I ever had one in class. Well, in sixth grade, I had one during class, and when it passed, I told the teacher I'd had one, and I needed to go to the nurse so she could call my guardian and my doctor. He flat out told me no, and made me sit for the rest of the 30-40 minute period. After class, another teacher spotted me and knew right away something was wrong, and when I told him what happened, he was pissed. He took me straight to the nurse and then went to chew out the other teacher. Apparently, the first teacher's excuse was that I didn't 'need' to leave class because my seizure 'wasn't that bad' (I.e. he hadn't noticed me having one). Dude just didn't want to let me leave his stupid class.
😳😳😳😳
How horrible
In the 10th grade, I was in a wheelchair for the majority of the school year. Our library was actually another building that was maybe like a three minute walk from the school. Three minute WALK. One day, my first period class was in the library and my 2nd period was on the other side of the school. The bell rang and I gathered my things and headed out of the library classroom. I had to wait for the crowd to clear to use the wheelchair ramp. By the time I made it down the sidewalk to the school, I knew I was cutting it close. I got to the hall where my class was and I was pumping it, rushing to make it. My teacher was standing at the door watching me with an exasperated expression. The bell rang when I was about 20 ft away. She gleefully closed the door in my face.
That’s so disgusting!! What is wrong with people?? They shouldn’t be allowed to work with kids/teens
I'm so sorry that that happened to you :(
I may not be someone with a disability (I only have a disorder) but I know that that is very VERY rude to do to a disabled person, tbh if I was the teacher I would let you in no matter what time you get there, no disabled people should be treated badly.
Ow sorry I did not see you that just plain messed up
it couldnt have been an accident to force students to choose between ieps, its almost like they didn't expect students can need accommodations AND be really smart. not being able to have both doesnt make any sense, other than the explanation being straight up ableism.
In my old primary school my mom wanted me tested for dyxlexia, but the school didn't do it. My mom assumed they had done it and just never got back to her, only for us to find out 10 YEARS later that they didn't think i had it.
I did.
This school was also the place that thought me how to mask my autism. One teacher in particular told me to stop faking my sensory overload for attention so often, that other students would join in.
That place was shit
4:47 THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE GIVEN AN AWARD EVERYONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS
Fun fact: my mom told me that she would trust a person who got their GED before someone who only has their highschool diploma. This is because the GED test is really hard and takes a lot of effort while getting your highschool diploma only requires you to do the bare minimum and just remember some stuff.
Unfortunately his logic doesn't work because testing and school in itself isn't about intelligence or teaching young minds, it's about getting kids ready to work. Sitting still for long periods of time, working with others, listening to authority with absolute obedience, be able to remember things simply for other's satisfaction, doing work even after hours, etc., which is why disabled people aren't given a chance in school because they're not expected to work so why bother preparing them for the capitalist workforce if they'll never be robots? The real learning happens in college but of course you gotta go through 12 years of bs and a whole lot of money to even get there :/ K-12 is just getting you ready to make rich people money
The last one 👏👏👏👏
Like, fucking hell I'm sorry it's such a pain and inconvenience for these teachers to have to be, _gasp,_ *TOLD by a PARENT* that they actually shouldnt be putting their disabled students through hell when they're already dealing with a whole fucking lot, and, _double gasp,_ disabled kids *actually DO* deserve basic fucking respect no matter if its convenient for the school or not!!
I was undiagnosed with a crap ton of stuff, depression, social anxiety, anxiety, autism, and other stuff. When I tried to off myself the first time, the school told my parents they'd do all they can- by that point I'd perfected my mask. I was able to have as little of the teacher's time (teachers couldn't help me. I'd tried multiple times, but no matter how they explained it it never helped... Especially maths.
So I taught myself to hide in plain sight in the classroom. If I was found doing nothing bc I *didn't get it* I'd pretend I was just bored and then move to do my work, the teacher would move on after that) I was able to act fine in the classroom bc acting sad'd just give me more unwanted attention, like being babied if my voice was monotone or I just didn't want to talk.
Other times I'd need to stand and I was told no, so I couldn't focus on the lesson bc I had to focus on my legs being a pain to me. Back to the topic at hand, the prinipal himself (this is a 'good' private school, with about 1000-2000 students) spoke to my parents and even cried, telling them he feels so sorry he failed me and that he'd do all he could to help.
I went another 3 weeks and nothing happened. (It was end of term)
The next term, I didn't show up for 6 weeks for a 9 week term. No call home from the school, no emails questioning where I was- nothing. After the 6 weeks my parents pulled me from school and I tried home schooling. By then I'd already given up, so in the semester I was in home schooling I worked on 1 assignment, and I got an f bc I didn't finish it (this was my favourite subject btw (Digital Technologies). Adding on I was learning Japanese in school and I was so far behind (in home schooling) I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying- I had to drop 2 grades back to even have a *clue* what was happening, and even then I was struggling)
During home schooling I got diagnosed with all the labels said at the start, and I dropped out of high school entirely. I'm only one person in my friend group, all of us (5-6 close friends) have depression and anxiety of varying kinds. 4 have adhd, 3 have DID, and 2 have autism. This school has the best reputation in the entire city, and it failed everyone I know so spectacularly. I love school
My mother called my high school out on their bs enough times that I think there were at least 3 teachers that were afraid of her before they sister and I graduated. It solved the problems though!
I’m that mom. I went to a parent/teacher night and the teacher didn’t even know my kid had an IEP!!😡😡 What the actual fuck?!
@@OneSpicyDisaster Some schools are so messed up! Your kids are lucky to have you! I hope more parents start standing to for their kids because things need to change
2:28
Holy shit.
That hit hard. I am a teen right now and.. I don't know that's just how I feel. I, like many other people, had to learn to mask at a very very young age. I had to mask to make friends, but it still didn't work. I had to mask around my parents or I would get yelled at or hit. I had to mask in order to "survive"; and it hurts. I thought I was alone and broken. It took an entire pandemic to learn I'm not alone or broken.
I don't like the world we live in.
I have ADHD.Extremely bad ADHD. Id constantly be forced in overstimulating situations and over all stressful ones. Id get scolded for stiming (typically making sounds, or turning myself all around in my chair). Took until i was 13 for me to get accomodations on fsa tests and eocs. It was fucking ridiculous
I had people from special Ed classes tell me that I should go into one because they said it would help me, I’m not diagnosed with anything so I ignored it, few years later I had 2 autistic friends asking if I had autism because they said it felt as if we clicked to well and after that I went through a loop hole where I would have memories of behaviours where at first although where normal for me was shunned and taught off for doing. I went to a doctor and they recommended me to a psychiatrist for autism/adhd but the psychiatrist hasn’t rung me and didn’t what to do tbh. It’s been like 4 months but I have phone anxiety 😅
This makes me thankful my parents sent me to a particular school system for the first 8 years of my education. I'm neurotypical and don't have any disabilities, but I think this system would be beneficial to many kids. I'll just list a couple things I remember:
- Independent tasks. You choose the task you want to do in the moment. Get the book from the storage, do the questions in your notebook, put the book back. Next subject! At the end of the day, we would hand in our notebooks and the teacher would check the answers and leave notes. Sometimes we could check the answers ourselves. It stimulates independence as well as working together with and helping others.
- NO HOMEWORK (at least until the last year). Our days were from 8.30 to 14.30. Wednesdays 8.30 to 12.15. After that we went home and got to enjoy being kids.
- No numerical grades. You either have sufficient knowledge or still need to improve. Wayyyy less pressure to overperform or value yourself based on a number.
- Tests were also individual and you did them in your own time. Same as normal subjects.
- Mixed grades. 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8 (1 being at 4 years old). Stimulates asking for help or helping others.
The only problem I ever had was that I had a small tendency to slack off. Sometimes my teachers gave me a tasklist of subjects I needed to practice in a week. The order didn't matter, as long as it was done by the end of the week.
It was a Montessori school, but I'm not sure if all Montessori schools work with that exact system. It was nice though :D
Now that I'm older I really aplreciate the low-pressure vibe of that education system.
Bro, I rlly need a school like that.
I'm autistic and rlly struggle with homework because my brain shuts off when I'm at home so I can relax. I'm currently being forced to do work at home because the school doesn't have a bus ready for me
To make it worse they didn't even tell me how to get into ANYTHING i need to to be able to do the work they want me too -_-
Im in my 30s and possibly have autism, I get told that my mannerisms are similar to a asbie but my parents slways say that my brain was damaged from birth due to lack of oxygen. But I could do a lot of things and apparently quite smart sometimes but will have moments where I act a bit dumb.
Hi friend :) See community post about terms that we use now for autism. 💙Welcome to my vids and hope you find some that you connect with!
aspie/aspergers are largely considered outdated terms now (because of their origins and implications), but I agree with the previous comment that you should probably do more research. Being “smart/dumb” at some times doesn’t mean autism, but it could present that way for some people. Research is super important! Yes, listen to medical professionals, but also listen to autistic people and autistic voices, sometimes medical opinions are outdated, and it’s important to hear from autistic/other neurodivergent creators (I recommend Paige Layle, I find their voice very relaxing and love the topics she speaks on). If you have access to a therapist/psychologist where you live and can afford it, maybe find a way to talk to one, but not everyone has the privilege of having access to that, so do your best with your current resources. I wish you luck in your journey of finding yourself and figuring stuff out!
Ughm ableist story. My teacher asked everyone where they prefer to sit and why. I have a 504 plan at this time and get to chose regardless any way so I put back of the class because people behind me makes me nervous if I feel your looking at me I cant focus. She proceeded to put me first seat front row. Like girl I'm in the class that I hate most and I give you a simple and legal request and you screw it up. I also have social anxiety and never said anything.
Thanks for makeing these vid comps. They make me feel much less crazy. I experienced all this school BS. I got the same disability iep vs gifted iep. When I hit High-school. At which point I instantly crashed and nearly failed school. IQ of 180 and still can't manage seven classes at one time and social activity. Who knew that the cause was takeing all acomidations from an autistic kid (who doesn't look autistic ) away would fuck them? 🤔 Instead of letting me switch back they offered my mom the option of jail for truancy or me getting a GED. So 10th grade me who never passed a grade of High-school dropped out and got a 99% on the GED. The school system kicked out the kid with thr highest GPA because that was easyer that accommodating 1 child.
I think the main reason it is around is like the reason why USA still have miles instead of kilometers. It is a dreadful task that would take YEARS to do. At least with school it would be easy to go into it unlike roads where most people don't know how kilometers are like.
I have a 4.0 and I'm in the honors program at my college. I failed my statistics test because I couldn't read a % correctly. They didn't grade me on the concepts just on my ability to read. If you are considered smart by the school system they overlook your struggles as simple mistakes and you should just "try harder."
4:19 last year was probably the best standardized test I’ve ever taken. We had no time limit, I was in a room with a few of my friends who also needed extended time, including my bestie. After everyone finished a test, we got a break and goldfish and talked. It was nice. Also got to skip classes on some days while we were finishing up the section for that day lol. I was always the last one to finish, but I got really good scores.
It’s so annoying when teachers tell people to stop fidgeting and stimming… like if I stop, I will be very uncomfortable and start hurting myself (grinding teeth, picking at skin).
So I'm not diagnosed with any neurodivergancy but in 2nd grade, I never answered any questions in front of the whole class. One day, the teacher called on me and the whole class started telling me to do it. I'm very stubborn and tend to do the opposite of what people try to pressure me to do, so of course I didnt answer. My teacher said she needed to call home and report me to my parents. I started crying, still in front of the whole class, and was so embarrassed. It's made it hard for me to share in a large group all through school.
I went to a 2-e school growing up, for a while. And if you don’t know what it means it mean “twice exceptional” (which is really fucking ablest and let me explain why-) so basically you have to “qualify” to get in. You have to be-
1- disabled or have some kind of learning disability/disorder that made other schools work out terribly for you.
2- be talented in some way. (Good at math, science, Ela, art, music, ...etc...)
Because lord knows only talented disabled people are worthy of getting the accommodations they need, to do good in school. /sarcastic
And we didn’t even get all the accommodations we needed. That school, SUCKED
First girl I relate so much I was diagnosed as high functioning autistic in my late twenties my dad said a lot of my behavior he and my late mother get calls about made sense after the specialist I saw diagnosed me
0:31 I had this issue today
One Spicy Disaster, I don't think you'll see this but I wanted to say thank you for the Neurodivergent compilations you make, they helped me recognize my own symptoms of ADHD that I got from my dad, and now I want to get a diagnosis, and a lot of them also helped me understand and learn more about my older sister who is autistic, and learn more about how autism works, and since I found your channel it's been a nice safe space for me, and I come watch more compilations almost every day because I find them so informative and often enjoyable :D
I also like the soft music at the end of the video btw, it's comforting
/gen /lh
My autism and adhd was masked by being "Gifted", I had poor handwriting, poor organization skills and was so exhausted after a day of school that I just never did homework. I thought "Homework doesn't matter, I'm good at tests, I'll just pass the tests and get a passing grade". as soon as I got to 7th grade, my grades started to tank, there was too much homework, too many book reports, too many projects. when I got to 9th grade, I flunked all my classes and then had to switch to homeschooling because my anxiety was so bad. Also, I was transitioning at the time, so I just could not deal with Transphobic teachers. I learned way more being Self-taught than I ever did in school. Schooling killed my joy of reading books, I can only read articles, comic books, and manga now because of the stress, I could just never focus on the sentences in the books. Also, my self-worth was tied to my academic performance, so after going through the trauma of being homeless, my Anxiety and Depression got worse, and when that affected my grades, I was suicidal.
💙💙💙💙I hope you’re feeling better
@@OneSpicyDisaster I'm doing better now, but I just wish I had better supports in school.
We got told to do our math homework differently and we told the teacher “shut the f*ck up this is not your place to do that” I got suspended!!!
omg the last one is so true. ive missed so many days bc stress caused me to be sick, and i can barely ever get out of bed
When I just got diagnosed with autism and ADHD, my mom went into the school to try to change up my IEP because none of the accommodations that were on there were used or helped well turns out that school forces you to get your child out of an IEP plan and than create a whole new one and it already took me a while to get approved for the first one so my mom just homeschooled me
@@Jemilylover that doesn’t sound right
my psychology teacher refuses to follow my friends IEP and the school doesnt wanna do anything about it :)
1:13 we did timed tests as kids. I was only able to pass like 9 and 11 I think. I used the hand trick on 2,5, 9, 10 and 11 was usually just double the number. 3x11=33 etc. and I could count by 5’s and 2’s really well.
I love these videos. I'm currently an English education major who plans on working with younger middle school children. I really want my future classroom to be as accepting and inclusive as possible, and these videos are teaching me a lot :)
That is great news! Researching from actually disabled people is a really great way to get perspective! 💙
I had such a major mental breakdown at around 25 years old to the extent that I wondered if I was a shapeshifter because I felt like I was occasionally turning into some angry beast.
12 years later and I still haven't been officially diagnosed but have given myself accommodations for being autistic. I no longer have a beast inside of me.
Honestly thank you so much for putting these together 😎🌱
There are a lot of stereotypes about autism my stepdad has made fun of my autism in the past
I really feel for that first girl who went so long through school with undiagnosed autism. I was in a similar boat with undiagnosed ADHD throughout my childhood. Coming from someone who is currently a student teacher, I'm trying to think of what I can do to help students like this in my own classroom. I have several students with ADHD, and quite a few with autism. And these are just the diagnosed students, only some of whom have actual accommodations.
The reason we have silence during tests is to prevent cheating and distractions, which we definitely can't change. When it comes to group projects, students collaborating and working with one another is a vital skill to build for the adult world. You're likely going to have co-workers at your job, even ones you don't get along with, and you're going to be working with them. A similar reason exists for working in a certain style: employers are going to demand that tasks be done a certain way in many cases. There are also standards that teachers have to abide by, especially with math, where students need to learn specific step by step processes, so they have that foundation for future learning. For me teaching science, having to go through all of the steps of the scientific method is a vital aspect of the subject matter, for example.
I've thought of giving all students the option to use earplugs or play white noise through their earbuds as one solution for test taking in silent rooms. The latter would need to be carefully monitored, unless I find some kind of recording device that can play it through headphones without connecting to the internet or cellular messaging system. In terms of doing things specific ways, I can't do that for some things like standards-based processes like the scientific method, but I can definitely leave projects more open-ended. While they will need general requirements because I need to grade them somehow, how they achieve those requirements can have more possibilities, which I include many examples of. Groupwork is a lot more difficult, especially because giving a student with autism the option to work alone when they don't have accommodations means I would have to provide that option for the entire class. Students DO need to learn to work with others, and a good chunk of learning comes through creating explanations in their own words and being able to articulate what they observed and learned when they communicate with peers. I can't just get rid of all groupwork, or let everyone choose, I know I have some students who just don't like working with others, but they need to learn this skill.
If anyone has any advice for what I can do to help, please let me know. I have some students who, while they are undiagnosed and aren't receiving accommodations officially, do a lot better with accommodations in place. My options can be pretty limited due to the requirements I'm held to as an educator, but any suggestions would be helpful!
Before the accident I subbed as a EA so i get it. I’m interested to see answers. If my brain ever heals i’ll probably go back.❤️
Lmfao it's just giving "I want to make school more accommodating for ND and disabled students but ableism is kicking my butt at every turn" XD. I think in order for school to accommodate to every student the system has to be torn down and rebuilt. It was literally against these kids from the beginning
Dude the first clip is literally me wth
Same. And we’re trans?!
The main problem for me is that everyone around me told me I was very smart ever since I was a baby so they had way higher standards but little did they know I’m a dumbass and I told them that and they are still telling me that I’m wrong like wtf!
As the not all moms deseve kids quote goes
Not all teachers deserve students
Ik this is my third comment but damn- i just remembered my school put a “no procrastinating” rule and it’ll be so hard for me because I can’t stop procrastinating. Even for things I’m passionate for like writing, I procrastinate. There is no way in hell I can accommodate to their needs if I can’t even help myself. I’m a hard worker if I need to be but procrastinating is just something I can’t stop. I’m pretty sure it’s because of a disorder but I’m not going to diagnose myself since I have to resources to get a medical diagnosis
From the first tiktok.. It's very relatable. I'm still in the middle of being diagnosed with Aspergers, and school was.. Very hard for me. I loved the idea of learning new things, but... That's it. I would've rather been caught dead than me 5 minutes late to school, so I was usually one of the first students to even be in the school building, usually the latest I got there was 7.30, if the school started at 8am!
Also the 2:29 one... Holy sh- that explains so much. There's currently two I's! There's my favorite, logical me, and the annoying emotional wreck me.
Where are you from? Here the term Asperger’s is no longer used. 💙It is all autism and a spectrum. I’ve posted some stuff on the community tab if you’d like to see. 💙
@@OneSpicyDisaster Oh, I'm from finland!! And thank you, I'll check it out!
Bruh I have literally run away from schoool cause I can’t handle it and like my mom still makes me go. I love her to death and she’s trying to help but like bro
I’m sorry 💙
One of the things I don't like about school is how teachers will treat kids who are just different in general in a bad way. I've had PE teachers get mad at me and my friend for not running during the mile run test. My handwriting is terrible specifically because my third grade teacher didn't like how advanced i was before i got to public school and forced me to stop writing in cursive. Up until 2nd grade i was in private school and never took a standardized test. In third grade, when i was in public school, people thought I was stupid because i got a 2 and a 3 on the FCAT, now called the FSA. People who live in Florida will know exactly what test I'm talking about. While I'm not saying that all public school teachers are bad, since my problems did start when i transitioned to public school at the beginning of third grade. Some teachers though, shouldn't be teachers and it's very obvious who those teachers are.

10:24 the private school I went to from 5th through 7th grade meets all of these specifications. I kept coming with my parents to meetings with teachers and being told to sit outside (in a school that advertised student-led meetings). during one such meeting, my language arts teacher told my parents that she couldn’t see me getting and holding a job when I grew up. I was 12 at the time. she also told me that I was “taking advantage” of her for needing more accommodation on a writing-heavy assignment. since it was a private school, they weren’t legally required to follow my 504 plan, but they promised they would since the day my parents and I first toured the school in 4th grade. for three years, my mother kept asking them to follow it, and every time, they said they would. in 7th grade, soon after my parents and I decided to switch back to public school next year, one of the teachers suddenly showed an interest in my 504 plan. for the last few weeks of that year, I only had to do every other math problem on my homework. also, me and the other probably-undiagnosed-neurodivergent kids were ostracized by students and teachers alike. we were treated like children and made fun of behind our backs (and to our faces). when we raised our hands in class, the teachers (particularly Miss Laura, the language arts teacher) looked right through us, even if no one else had their hand up. I didn’t get along too well with the two other outcasts of my grade since they had issues with personal space, volume control, and consent (among other things) - meanwhile, I hated touch and noise, and was more reserved - but they were the only friends I was allowed to have for years. there were also a few kids who were a little younger than us and were beginning to get rejected by their peers for not “growing out of” playground roleplaying. I don’t know where most of the people I met at that school are today, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all my old friends turned out neurodivergent (and possibly alterhuman too).
no idea why I wrote this essay-length traumadump 2 months ago, but I saw one of my former friends from the outcast group at a Latin convention just a couple weeks ago. apparently we both figured out we were nonbinary in the time since middle school lmao
Most teachers not all of them but most would of told me since I was in kindergarten to graduation basically if I don't understand I should go ask. So I would ask then I would get complained and told of how if I dont understand I dont care at all. :/ I have learning disabilities, as well having adhd. I had an art teacher in middle school who hated me for some reason I dont really know honestly. If I moved my shirt or got something out of my pockets, even moving my hair from my face. She would shout my name and how I need to stop eating my boogers/take my hands out my pants, just making things horrible. Some teachers made me happy to learn from them while others just made me afraid to ask for help;;;
As well one year I was at the counselor told of how I need to wear make-up and shower after I do everything, stop liking things that other students found weird so I would stop being bullied so badly so they would like me ._.
When I was in Kindergarten my school was supposed to have me take a test to see if I was disabled or not because they didn't believe my mom when she said I was ( I actually am). Not only did they not have me take the test but they also told my parents that they did do the test and said I wasn't disabled, so my mom took me and got me tested by a professional and proved them wrong...
Edit: My parents already knew I was disabled since I was a baby
U HAD TP HAVR AN IEP FOR GIFTED CLASSES??? they never did that for me-
All primary and secondary school was incredibly ableist. I did bad in all my exams because I didn’t understand what we were learning or even why we were being taught all that useless stuff. After secondary school I was rejected from the college I wanted to go to for not having Maths or English GCSE. I wanted to do a college course with no exam so eventually I got accepted into a college doing art on a level 1 course, then worked very hard to work my way up to level 2 now 3 course. I’m on my 4th year of college now and I’ve hated it every day I’ve been there.
I feel that I’ve worked very hard, but life must hate me. Everyone I’ve known from school has done much better than me in life with little effort. I can’t even get a job, not even an interview anywhere. I’m stuck in a class of 17/18 year olds who came straight to the top from secondary school. Honestly, I can’t get anywhere I don’t see the point of even continuing life at this point. I can’t afford to live by any university, and I don’t think I even want to go considering I’ll be 20 going to university with 18-year-olds and no university is going to take me on even though I work as hard as I do. I just feel left behind by society.
Grammar schools are the most fucking terrible system ever
I get so uncomfortable when I hear people say the r slur and I want to tell them that it’s a slur but I get too nervous :/
first tiktok:
Ive always found the social aspect annoying. The learning aspect is usually great for me though.
I've very often wanted to work alone on group projects but not asked since it's either unrealistic or i just don't want to ask.
I'm not diagnosed (but i think i may be autistic) and i HATE people trying to get me to do things certain ways if i've found a better way for myself, such is why i cant do online school and i must at least be in the building at a desk.
I often worry about how people perceive me.
Silence can bug me too. I can't just sit still and be quiet - I usually bring a relatively quiet fidget (wacky track) into exams to use once I'm done since I'm very fast with exams. The small noises always bugged me.
so yeah...
Bro- My science teacher was really mean. When the class was studying mental disorders, my science teacher kept going on about OCD saying "I don't understand OCD at all! Like, they're so strange, like the human brain should NOT work like that! For example, you don't NEED to to flip that light switch 5 times, its just that you WANT to! It's NOT that hard to just act like a NORMAL person- Like geez!" Like- yeah dumb@$$ that's why it's considered a D I S O R D E R 💀
Also, when we got to autism, she'd CONTINUOUSLY call me out on how I act autistic ALL the TIME, such as "Marion, you learned to speak at an older age, right?" Or "Marion! You continually rock in your chair-" OR "You almost never listen in class, ANF you always have eye bags. You're autistic, what a wonderful tool for the class!"
She was so extra-
(She took 14 students phones in 1 DAY)

2:35 .
oh wow!! look at all these pretty and cool people!! oh shoot! there's another one, reading this right now!!! hi!! If you wanna be friends, I can make soft tacos!! :D
Have a lovely day!
Happy Lantern Rite! ^^
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE EQUALISE THE VOLUME BETWEEN CLIPS!!! The constant volume change is really distracting!
I’m really sorry. I have a hearing impairment and i don’t have my hearing aids yet, and my cat chewed my only headphones. 😭. I can’t tell the difference. I suggest listening on low. Also that is ableist assuming i can hear the difference.
The last one about depression is just dumb- Okay you're severely depressed the world isn't going to stop for you just because you're depressed. You can't just stop your whole life just because you're in a bad mental state. Get help, push through, you'll be fine if you get the correct help.
Found the ableist teacher
"If you're sad, Torture yourself! Keep suffering and completely obliterate your will to live in order to continue working just to make others proud of you. Also, Just get therapy! Instant sad remover."
You sound dumb, Either that or you live a very happy and ignorant life of no depression whatsoever. People with depression don't *expect* the world to stop for them. We *expect* human rights and occasionally breaks so we don't lose our minds to our depression.
That isn’t how depression works, and getting help isn’t that easy.
People like you are the reason these tiktoks exist. I would advise you to educate yourself before you speak on things you clearly have no understanding of.
