Specifically a certain teacher at the high school.

She's taken it upon herself to create a card and have every sophomore that passes through her class sign it (my sister is a sophomore, and their class only has like 80 people.) I understand what she was going for, but it always upsets me when teachers try to do this.

Most if not all of the people signing that card have never spoken a word to me, some definitely don't even know that I exist. Most of them hardly know my sister either. These are a bunch of strangers sending their condolences by signing their name on a card that their biology teacher made hem sign. Where is the value in that?

These people don't know me, my sister, my dad, or any of my family. Why should they genuinely care? What right does that teacher have to go spreading that information?

That's not really all that I feel about the situation, but I can't really put it all into words.
