[@Blue Demon] Alright then. Interesting enough. I suppose repulsion is a good word for it then. I mean I'm sure people that seem to desperate or come off too strong, will generally upset someone. Though I meant for on a casual level, like equivalent to your significant other asking to go shopping with them for 3-6 hours (or some other tedious thing, that one may find uninteresting.) But I assume the answer would be the same. [@Dinh AaronMk] Vagueness aside. It would be better to say specifics for that certain instance or it will sound a little silly. I literally have had teachers force me to succeed less and have personally attacked me and my grades despite them not listening to the required law. As entitled as "this person is making me do this" when only you can make you do anything, is usually the first thing that crosses your mind. Note that its entirely possible for teachers to screw you/and your grades over and it not being the student's fault in anyway. But solely on failing to do their jobs. I'll give you two examples. 1. I was on an IEP in middle school, ('Individualized Education Program') which was something the school legally had to follow, (and never did) Basically it involved my writing looking like chicken scratch due. So when taking tests, every answer was right, but I lost points, usually failing only due to teachers saying they were unable to read my writing...Problem? They we're legally required to give me a laptop and let me type my answers. It wasn't that damn hard to accommodate such a thing, hell every single fucking classroom had a PC of some kind. But, grades still suffered for that stupid reason, something entirely due to teachers/and the school failing to do their jobs. I often had teachers berate my parents and me, not believing I couldn't just 'write' on my own. [s]One particular being a possible pedo teacher that rumored to touch other girls asses but I digress.[/s] Also this school system I went into literally a decade later was in the papers for trying to fuck with another kid with mental disabilities. Had stuff in the past too. So, wasn't just targeting of me. [s](for once hooray)[/s] But anyone under the 'special need' banner. So maybe that school has a LONG running history with bias. An outlier prehaps? 2. Well...next school (high school) pulled very similar crap but this time, it literally only had to do with me and my friends. How can I make that bold statement? Well, I moved to a ghetto school, which sadly was less awful then the school I previously left. Where most students weren't exactly the most hard working and intelligent bunch. Actually in one of teachers own words, the reason they gave us and only us a hard time was because we we're likely the only ones going anywhere. However, some of their "tough love" was more that the teachers had a problem with me. Because I seemed to actually be genuinely smarter than some of them. Just for some more information, it was a computer school, where all courses were online. One English teacher, noticed that in 8th grade, I was already so far ahead in my English course, up to college level stuff. What did she do? She blocked it...She [color=ed1c24](a teacher)[/color] [b]stopped me from learning and progressing in school.[/b] Wasn't able to go farther, what was her reasoning? (Aside from bitch that didn't like me for whatever reason.) She told me, that I wasn't far enough in math and that I should be doing that instead. Now I can literally fucking assure you, she never did that to anyone else. Nor did it even last very long, because I got the one teacher that liked me to bypass it anyway. Because the literal whole point of the school, was to "go/learn at your own pace". And she was completely contradicting that, she never actually helped me progress, and only stopped me from doing my work. There's is so much more to this school holding me back, that it would go on forever and it's still amazing that I was able to graduate 6-7 months earlier than the average high school student. And actually there's more examples I have period. So when a person says. "Teachers are screwing their grades up." I frankly tend to believe them...
