[@ahuman5772]

Unfortunately I genuinely distrust white people even though I'm white, but that's because I'm an immigrant and before I learned to speak English I had white people calling me dumb and making fun of me and being xenophobic in general (telling me to go back to my own country etc) so I feel a bit weird now that they're all nice to me now that I can speak English with almost no accent lol. It feels really creepy to me, like it's a fake acceptance. Obviously I can tell that I have white privilege still even though in an immigrant (otherwise they wouldn't treat me so nicely now) but I do worry how it might come off if I complain since some people might think it's more performative. I tend to just not voice my feelings around people I don't know too well since they wouldn't know the context. :)

School during the pandemic has gone to hell. It’s like the teachers are actively trying to make students lives worse and then they have the gall to ask how we are. In the UK we usually have a final exam paper or two for each subject that ends up equalling our grades. The government however, thought it would be better to give students a multitude of exams that pan the whole year that end up being students final grades. Some of us took part of the exams for our final grades in the first month of being back. So instead of kids taking six, seven or however many exams usually, they’ll have to take twenty or thirty. I dropped out because of how bad my mental health got and all they told me was I’d have no chance of a future.

Participation points make me so mad. Im a person who's recently learned how much I despise speaking vocally. I will write, type, text to speech, anything else. Yet it has to be my voice. Every time a teacher thinks shutting off the chat for no reason is a good idea to boost student participation, I take a deep breath in my head and pray to my inner self that I have the patience to sit through every grueling second of silence as the teacher wonders why no one unmutes. One time a teacher sat for FIFTEEN WHOLE MINUTES, waiting for students to unmute with the chat completely off. Fifteen whole ass minutes. Waiting for 8th graders to unmute and talk vocally. Just turn on the damn chat. Participation points make me want to punch holes in walls. I dont want to raise my hand. More than half this class has some form of social anxiety and the teacher wants us to take a chance to embarass ourselves? Are teachers just stupid? How the hell do they get jobs working with kids then not make any effort to understand how kids think. And then they randomly call people. Ever consider people have reasons they dont want to talk? Want to call on them just to have them not know and get embarassed in front of more than 20 people? Ive met 2 teachers with at least 0.1 braincell and they still pulled this bs. Group projects. On zoom/during a pandemic. No one wants to be around people god damnit, online or not. The breakout rooms, complete silence. Chat almost completely dead and all the work is on one maybe two people. We are exhausted. Yes, teachers are tired too, it's like when they say "sorry ive been in class all day" ...what do you think we were doing? Crying in the bathroom stall? because thats what I feel like doing. I get migraines and headaches. I dont want to do group projects with a damn migraine. I want to SLEEP. I am EXHAUSTED. I am TIRED of school. NONE of these kids want to work together if its with STRANGERS. These kids dont even want to BE HERE. Ive cried with my camera off. Ive CRIED in class because I was so stressed. I felt fucking stupid because I didnt understand ONE problem. When I asked the teacher for help? Complete silence. "Check your resource notebook" MISS I WAS ABSENT? I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT EITHER??

Most people I know have had similar or sometimes even worse experiences. I don't want to get over it.
