Make them sit in their rooms in silent and do their homework alone
Side with the teacher and not get your child’s side of the story
Tell them that their grades are the most important thing they should worry about
INSTEAD:
Ask if they’re having trouble with other students or teachers
Sit down with them and help them with what they don’t understand
Speak calmly instead of yelling
Don’t invade their privacy by looking through their devices
Don’t take away their hobbies as punishment
Never make them feel unsafe or unable to trust you
This has been a message from a struggling high school junior that wishes their own parents actually did this stuff.
Bonus: Don’t look through their freaking backpacks. Chances are they know damn well they have loads of unfinished papers and the stress of knowing is so overwhelming they don’t even wanna look at it.
I had a teacher in junior year in hs that assigned us to do 100 hours of community service each (idk why, had nothing to do with physics), then didn’t tell us that he was putting that into the grades immediately, so by week 3 everyone was failing bc no one started it yet. My parents didn’t listen to my side at all while explaining it, and nearly beat the living snot out of me. So yeah plz boost this post
This is at my college and it got taken down and closed off hours after this tweet was originally posted thanks everyone
SUNY Purchase is the college this was put up at. Currently our campus does not care about any issues unless it gets media attention.
The ADA is currently suing our campus because of multiple ADA violations and incompetence towards disabled students, mentally/physically or mentally ill.
One of our apartments was supposed to be a temporary building, but is still being used to house students despite one of the ceilings caving in in one of the apartments and displacing its occupants.
We have a major mold and lead problem that is still going unfixed.
We have a University Police force that has been ruled to be incompetent in protecting the student body.
Work orders on campus are ultimately useless and nothing on campus ever gets fixed unless it gets media attention (our ADA violation and the shrine).
We have so many many many more issues that goes unsolved because our college refuses to fix any of them unless they get media attention. As much as the now defunct shrine is funny, the fact the student body is neglected so badly by the college shouldn’t go ignored.
TUMBLR PROF ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are trans or nonbinary and you are in the same situation as the student above, email your professors before class starts. I understand that it might be uncomfortable, but generally professors are absolutely happy to accommodate you. I know I always will be!
If your professor does not respond positively, contact the Dean or the campus LGBT+ resource center with a copy of the email and show them that you are concerned about gender discrimination in the classroom.
just a reminder that this is an option for you folks! i did it and all my teachers replied within a few hours saying that it was okay. you can do this! school does not have to be painful.
Our school used to ask children who were late questions about maths, but those that they can’t answer yet. And then they made kids write down that they don’t know math. My 11yo classmate (who was always great at math) was crying after this.
Oh god, my elementary school was hell.
I remember this one music teacher who, for some reason, REALLY fucking hated autistic kids. I would know, because everyone in my weird therapy group was targeted while everyone else was ignored.
I saw her physically drag a kid out and threaten to get him suspended because he was to scared to dance solo in front of his peers.
There was also “lunch detention,” and they didn’t fuck around with that. They didn’t isolate the students like that, they fucking shoved them in a separate room and forbade them from sitting together or talking. They slowly brought in several teachers and eventually the principal, and they all, one by one, told us that we were horrible, reprehensible people who would never be successful.
And you wanna know HOW you got lunch detention? Not finishing your work on time, even if it was a one-time thing.
State sanctioned child abuse
‘Child abuse’
Y’all are insane.
It may not be child abuse but honestly, some of this shit is fucking insane and harmful to the students than it is helpful.
I mean.
It is abuse.
Emotional Abuse is a thing
I was homeschooled until 4th grade. Loved learning, loved school.
Then I was put in public school and was screamed at by this harpy who HATED kids and would look for any reason to punish them. But she would then also give candy if you told the principal how great she was so her screaming and slamming things was hidden.
Guess who had a ton of school issues after that.
That shit is not ok and is abuse that will effect you for the rest of your life
-random applause that eventually encompasses the entire cafeteria -skipping classes to go to your friend’s lunch periods -”come with me i dont wanna go alone” -not knowing who you’re singing happy birthday for -“hey if i pay you will you go through the line and get me something” -knowing your id number so you can actually eat -only wearing your id during lunch period -that ONE security guard -”what’s even for lunch today” -HOLY FUCK IT’S CHICKEN NUGGET DAY -those girls who chill in the bathroom doing their makeup -fights = dinner AND a show -”hey what lunch do you have this year” “b” “damn i’m in c”
