RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Teacher refuses to teach me.
Today in Math class, my teacher denied me to the right to a free education. Anyway she started the day with notes, which me and 50% of the class didn't do. Besides, I didn't get the special handout, so without the examples I couldn't do them anyway. Afterward she handed out the assignment and I asked for help. She said;"You haven't been paying attention, so I'm not going to help you unless you help yourself.". What a bitch; hardly anyone writes the notes and all I needed was a simple formula to punch in the calculator so I could get the answer! After that, I packed up and left. If she isn't going to teach me; I may aswell not waste my time. It's not like I'm stupid; I can manage a C+, so by their standards I'm "Average". So what should I do?
The Anarchist revolution is near! We will crush the evil government by drawing the Anarchy symbol on school desks, listening to alternative rock, watching Loose Change, and shouting:"Anarchy rules!!!".

Well, maybe you should've A. Looked at someone else's "special sheet", B. took the notes, C. (By help I'll assume you mean "How do you do this problem") as for the "special sheet" or D. Quit complaining about something that is 90% your fault.
If you care so much about it then fucking do what your supposed to, I'm actually glad a teacher stood up for themselves and told you to fuck off.

You could have done all that, but if you're just asking for one forumla, I don't see why she shouldn't give it to you. She's obviously trying to get you to respect her in class even though you find it boring. If you want the good grade, you apparently have to play along with the bullshit. I'm sure your parents want you to stay in school and get good grades so you can go to a good university, but if they were awesome and didn't care, you could get out.
And I hardly ever ask my teachers to explain anything anymore because checking Wikipedia is almost always easier.

I think you went way to far with that, Xin.
I mean, if he cared so much about it that he went up and asked to get it done and get the grade. Then he should have been paying attention.
I think he even SAID she told them to take notes. So I think she was justified.
Although, I disagree with the way she's teaching. We never take notes in my math class, he just gives us lots of examples for what we do.
I mean he explains EXTREMELY thoroughly. Which kinda annoys me because I usually get things pretty fast, but altogether its good for the class.

I'm with Freak on this one.
You were told to take notes; you didn't.
Everyone was supposed to get a special sheet, you didn't; you didn't ask for one or look at other people's.
And finally you ask for help, and she doesn't help you. Hm...Maybe there were other kids who were taking notes and paying attention, so she probably cares more about their grades than yours. While teachers are supposed to treat everyone the same- they're human, what do you want? They're going to pick kids they do and don't like more than others.
I'd help a kid who did as instructed rather than the slack-off kid any day.

School tries to be fair by setting rules that apply to everyone and enforcing them. People who work hard get good grades. Everyone else here is saying that the teacher is being fair. But why does fairness matter?
Do you find the math at all interesting? If you do, do whatever you can to have fun. If you don't, stop taking the class or just do something else in class that's more fun but that the teacher won't notice. The problem is that you care about grades for some reason, probably because your parents care about them. I have the same problem, and I haven't managed to solve it.

Yeah, i take all the notes in my class, but half the time i never really use them all, but I might use them in future references, or save them for my sister, who will be in my grade next year, just so she doesn't have to waste the effort if she misses any notes.

Well maybe you should do the equations. It'll make you think, and MAYBE you'll get some sense of logic and intellect and you won't be such an ass.
Again, I commend the teacher for standing up for themselves. If you cared so much about getting the shit done you should have taken notes like the teacher said. So its either stop giving a shit about the work or do what your supposed to.
