I hate the peer tutor classroom this year. It's such a toxic environment
-
The students are great, most of the teachers are great, and I love being able to help them out and I know I'm perfectly capable of it. There's just 2 teachers that make it a really disgusting neglectful environment, and everyone is suffering because of it.
Here's hoping they get fired this year. They've already been reported to the district twice just this month, and I'd be more than happy to make it a third time -
I'm just so tired of pretending like what happens in that class is ok. The 2 teachers treat the special needs students in there like they're little kids who you can just shove an episode of Daniel Tiger into their faces to shut them up, not normal high schoolers who just need a bit of extra assistance because of their conditions. They don't teach them anything, and then when it's the end of the year and they realize there's been no progress, they panic. Then they get mad at the teachers who have been trying their best to help out the students because they "didn't help well enough" when in reality, they barely were able to help at all because of how controlling the 2 main teachers are about doing things 'their way', which isn't a real way at all. There's a 16 year old boy in there who doesn't know how to read. He's amazing, and
so, so smart, but he doesn't know how to read because no one has bothered to teach him, and they do NOTHING about it. He needs help, and they do NOTHING. It's disgusting how neglected some of the students in there are -
And then when I point out that "Hey, that boy doesn't know how to read, could we help him learn?" They look at me like I'm some psycho who just killed their dog, not like I'm asking how to help him, and then they don't give me an answer, they just move on as if I'm too dumb and childish to be given a real response. It's ridiculous
I just genuinely don't understand how a class can operate like this, especially a special needs class -
thank god i never have to enter that special needs class again as long as i live. I am DONE being their errand boy and substitute teacher

like dont get me wrong, i love helping their students, but it. never. ended. I wasn't just a peer tutor, I was the one who ran the classroom, the one who made sure every student was happy and healthy, the one who had to get all the teachers to focus on their job instead of their drama, the one helping before, after, and during school, the one who had to ditch classes to help their students having a meltdown. I never got a break, and that would be fine if I was an adult and that was my job, but it wasn't. I'm just a teenager trying to make it through the week
-
and after all that, I get a 'good' citizenship. GOOD. I know citizenship doesn't really matter as long as it's not bad citizenship, but it really stings that I did everything I could for that class, and they don't even bother to give me an honorable citizenship. They just think I did okay.
it sounds like such a stupid thing to vent about, and it is, but it's not just about the citizenship. It's about a lack of appreciation, and them just not even noticing how much I'm trying to be helpful -
oop i didnt hide that from recent posts lol
i know im spiraling but it's just so stupid.
