School Vent - Tumblr Posts

Small vent:

I know I can go above a 70 and maybe even an 80, but when I'm busting my ass every year while you're telling me, I'm not trying hard enough. That doesn't make me want to try harder. Telling me that trying my best isn't good enough doesn't empower me in whatever crazy way you think it will. If trying my best isn't good enough, why would I bother trying at all? At this point, I don't want to be anything special, I'm just trying to survive.

so my school decided cause there were too many absences last year to note it on report cards which is whatever BUT they are gonna make a special note about it if you miss over 12 hours (even if it's excused, which is btw less time than i spent at hospitals the last month) so no matter what happens basically you have to go which is dumb

first of all i think doctors notes should completely excuse it because then it wasn't just staying at home for fun... also my school is the only one doing it in this region so only we will have disadventages when applying to university and yk how little 12 hours are? shit happens, like so many things can happen that you have no control over

a teacher offered to try to find a solution for me which i am thankfull for, but also this isn't only about me:

"oh but it probably won't affect you" i don't care it's still unfair

This pain is so real. I hate doing Edgenuity assignments in a linear order.

absolutely sick that i have to do these assignments in a linear order
