She's my friend's old Spanish teacher. I'm a Sophmore, and I haven't taken a language. I was planning to take Spanish and be in her class, she seemed like a nice lady, until today. We went to her class at lunch, and usually I like to act sort of silly towards her. You know, to make her laugh. So today she asked me if I'm going to take a language. I said I guess next year, because I don't have one yet. She said in order for me to pass, I'm going to have to study alot for her class. Jokingly, I said to her, well then it looks like I'm going to have a hard time passing, I never study! She jumped all over it. She told me how I need to study and how I'll be stupid if I don't. I told her, no I won't study! I have a learning disability! (I have A.D.D) and she plainly says, oh, then you're just stupid. I tried to argue over the fact how studying something doesn't make you smarter, you can study something for a day and forget it a week later. I'm smarter than what my grades say, and I tried to tell her that. No, she says I'm stupid and immature. Why do I act this way? So I can cheer the mood up. Sorry, but at my school, the serious people are the kids with no friends, the friendly and outgoing ones have many friends, and that's exactly who I am. An outgoing person who is very friendly and has a sense of humor. This made me feel very down because the fact I flunked the 4th grade, and during my time at that school, I was teased ALL THE TIME. I was dubbed the dumbest kid in school and all of that crap. This was before I was diagnosed with my disability. What that teacher said today was wrong, and I'm going to report it. Thoughts?
