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 myĀ āfear of public speakingā and how sheās heard 8 year olds give better presentations (plus worse things but I donāt 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 heād 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 couldnāt help it. Then he starts telling her off and the rest of the class joins him. Ā
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 isnāt teaching anymore.
Also, turns out that boy had a sister like me, who couldnāt really speak. Weāve been best friends for 8 years and iāll be his best woman at his wedding next year.Ā
The moral is that Teachers, even subs, and adults shouldnāt scold kids before knowing the whole story, because shit like that can fuck up kids self-esteem for the rest of their life.Ā
