I'm 26 years old and I just going back to school my first day back was yesterday it was nerveracking.I'm going for my Ged by the way.But anyways I walk in the classroom and I felt like I was back in high school there were the stoners sitting in the back making fun of everyone and everything and then there was he teachers pet. Then there was the strict teacher,you know the one I'm talking about.These type of teachers think that by making jokes at your exspence they would teach the rest of the class a lesson. For example one of my classmates was taking a test after the teacher graded it she made it a point to tell the whole class not only did she fail but how badly she failed.while the rest of the class thought it was funny I looked into this girls eye's and I could feel her humiliation and embarassment. I felt really bad as she ran out of the classroom crying. what ever happend to teachers encouraging the students and seeing as how its adult ed I'm willing to bet she will not be in class tomorrow. I used to be that girl that the teacher made a example out of so I know what it's like if she does show up tomorrow I'm going to talk to her maybe if I tell her my story it might help. This girl is 16 yrs old she can still finish school and go to college and make something of herself.I hope she proves to that ignorent teacher that she was wrong about her and hold her head up high.I learned the hard way if you let people tare you down they will just because they can.
