Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didnât respond so she said it louder and he still didnât respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said âI canât understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.â
HOLY SHIT
one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.
my classmates went dead silent and after the subâs laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me
I had a sub in English once, on presentation day. And everyone goes up and does their thing, and then its my turn. The whole time im stuttering and mixing up my words, having to stop and re-say my sentences. The rest of the class is used to this and claps. However, by the time its over, the teacher is 100% done.
Starts saying horrible thing about how im going to have to get over my âfear of public speakingâ and how sheâs heard 8 year olds give better presentations (plus worse things but I donât really member them). By then im in tears and on the brink of a panic attack, and then she starts telling me off for crying The rest of the class is horrified. Then this boy stands up. He never been my friend and we never really got along, but heâd never bullied me. He told her in a pissed off, cold voice that in freshmen year I got a concussion and that I never really recovered from it, so all that was medical related and I couldnât help it. Then he starts telling her off and the rest of the class joins him.  The teacher is mortified and tries to cover her ass, but the whole class walked out and that boy took me by the shoulders and we all walked to the principles office and told him what had happened. Lets just say she isnât teaching anymore. Also, turns out that boy had a sister like me, who couldnât really speak. Weâve been best friends for 8 years and iâll be his best woman at his wedding next year. The moral is that Teachers, even subs, and adults shouldnât scold kids before knowing the whole story, because shit like that can fuck up kids self-esteem for the rest of their life.Â
When I was thirteen, I had to have spinal surgery. When my doctor said I was allowed to attend school again, he said I had to use a wheelchair when on school grounds. My first day back at school, my special-ed teacher had put up a banner in her classroom that read, âThere is no elevator to success. You must take the stairs.â I asked what that meant regarding my wheelchair, and she gave me detention for âdisrespecting her authorityâ. The next week she gave us a homework assignment to design a poster that could potentially be used as a Public Service Advertisement. On the due-date, I handed this in.
My special-ed teacher was fucking OUTRAGED. She wanted me expelled for ridiculing her authority in front of the other students. The principal proclaimed my work to be âa masterpiece of satirical geniusâ and vetoed the special-ed teacherâs attempt to expel me.
Reblogging this post yet again, this time for the masterpiece of satirical genius. Hope the teacher got in trouble.
