The only part of school I’ve enjoyed since starting 6th grade has been having conversations with my former PE teacher, who has enough knowledge about computers to have a good conversation with me. I am autistic, which makes it difficult to talk to anyone, and this PE teacher was the first person to initiate conversation with me when I first arrived at that school. He is the only one at my school that I felt comfortable talking to due to the fact that I knew him best. However, the effect school had on my mental health was simply not worth that. I cannot describe the extent to which school destroyed my mental health. It was horrible, and my grandma dying at the beginning of the year certainly didn’t help. I took California’s CHSPE and left early.
That’s good that you took it upon yourself to help move things along. You’re a lot braver than I am. It’s also great to hear that there are still teachers like that in the US. My uncle is a teacher and I respect the hell out of the occupation for what they have to put up with(telling teachers what they can and cannot teach or rushing lesson plans), I hope you’re feeling better, I know how HS can affect people mentally, and it’s very rarely for the better
Having a teacher to talk to and have a great relationship with is pretty amazing. I remember being close with my 3rd grade teacher. I would sometimes visit her after going to 4th. She changed grades in 5th grade. She was everyone’s favorite, and extremely young.
I’m sorry for your loss, comrade.😔 I hope you’re doing okay!
