My family was fairly poor & dysfunctional growing up, few clothes & people smoked in our house. I was really stoked my 8th grade year to be in Astronomy. At the end 4th day I walked up with a hesitant smile to thank my teacher & say how I enjoyed & appreciated his class.

I reached his desk, he looked up scowling then yelled at me for smoking on campus, as everything I owned was saturated cigarette nastiness. Couple days later I was transferred out of his class without my knowledge.

It just baffled me that an educator, rather than just take a moment to try to understand the reality to my circumstance was to assume I must be at fault.

I'm so sorry you had these experiences! As a teacher, I can say that those people had no business being in the profession. How can students excel if they are not supported? I'm all about "connected schools". If you connect with the student, the rest takes care of itself.

Thanks, I agree students can't be expected to excel without support, but I believe many educators are lacking in support as well.

School isn’t about learning anymore, it’s about getting good grades.

Maybe parents are more to blame because they’re expecting teachers to fix what they messed up... idk

You’re off base. I’m a teacher and you don’t know what I care about. You’re making dangerous generalizations meant to incite hostility and increase your following. What are you? POTUS?
