Were you trusted by teachers at school or were you the one they always picked on for any little thing that was wrong?
So this memory randomly popped into my head when I was at school I was a well behaved student and was hardly ever in trouble and because of that the teachers trusted me quite a lot.
One time we went to London to see Billy Elliot the stage musical⊠which btw is amazing!!! I was about 15⊠I think
So when we got their we were paired up for hotel rooms, I was put with this girl who I was friends with⊠I think they paired us up because although we didnât hang out they knew we were friends and that I would look after her as she got picked on quite a lot. So anyway we went to see Billy Elliot and I was almost at the front so the view was amazing.
We got back to the hotel and of course being teenagers most of us were quite rowdy, so being one of the older students I kept telling people to calm down as it was late and there were others who have paid a lot of money to stay here. Before going to our rooms the teachers made it quite clear they would be checking on all students to make sure everyone was behaving themselves.
So once we were settled in the room I played a couple of card games with my friend, which she thought we would get in trouble for⊠it was only 10pm so I told her it would be fine.
Then 2 of the teachers knocked on my door and when I opened it they looked shocked and said âOh Emma, weâ so sorry. If we had known this was your room we wouldnât have disturbed you have a good night.â I couldnât make my mind up wether I felt awkward in the way they wouldnât have knocked if they knew it was me or flattered that they trusted me so much.
The next morning we were waiting in the Lobby and once we were gathered the teacher turned to the receptionist and said âHas everyone been okâ The woman at reception smiled and said that we had then pointed to me and said âYou can leave her here, sheâs been lovely, very polite and making sure everyone else was behaving themselves.â Everyone looked at me and at that moment I wanted the ground to swallow me up⊠if anyone needed a reason to beat me up this would be it
So yeah majority of the teachers when I was at school really liked me and trusted me a lot.
How about you guys did/do your teachers trust you or are you the one they watch out for
Mostly the teachers trust me. Iâm more of a Math student.
High School is really different, I just donât know how to explain that.
Ever since teachers and other kids found out I was a trouble-making student or the kid with mental problems. They all were like ânO wAy tHis CaNt bE aFiAâ. Itâs annoying.
Other than the trouble-making, Iâm still the diligent student now. I just have a lot in my head.
I got this one memory:
Back in 4th grade (currently a Sophomore), people called me a calculator since I could solve math in one second. Other kids wanted me to tutor them and all.
Since I have a pretty neat handwriting, my math teacher gave me 4 jobs: librarian, giving detentions, writing on the board, and tutoring.
Omg thats so weird think I went in 2010 but thats proper mad. I remember a student from somewhere else came up to me with a very thick London accent and said âYouâre not from here are you.â I told her that I wasnât but when I told her where I was actually from she hadnât a clue where I was talking about.
Thats pretty awesome I did and still do suck at maths my cousin has to use this maths website for her homework, I try my best to help her with it but I was told by her mum âyou shouldnât help them â I said that I would work with her and compare answers sometimes I helped her other times she helped me
Thatâs good that you guys help each other!
Ahh, the âyou shouldnât help themâ it sucks but I get why they say it.
Over here, there are mostly kids who use their own friend for only homework and were not willing to pay them back. I was one of the victims, but then my insides raged me, so I did things my way. My school is not it.
When I was in high school, I always obey my teachers, I love them, I donât get in trouble, I sit in class to eat, work, and talk to them. I always help if a teacher struggles with something, etc.
I hated when people asked for help but never help back. To be fair I wasnât technically helping her I think her mother was just being awkward to be honest as I was always allowed to have help at home as long as they werenât doing it for me. Plus she was getting upset because she just didnât understand it! I couldnât let her cry it was actually a particular topic that I was alright on so now when she has math homework (obviously not at the moment.) she waits for the weekend gives me an evil smile and says âI have math homeworkâ
I think itâs cool how they trust you to help others to be honest I was quite shy so I wouldnât have the guts to do it.
I love that! I alway say you respect them and they respect you. I was hardly in trouble just the odd detention for either being late or not doing homework which was rare so didnât happen a lot
Iâve never understood why they make these âlearning difficultiesâ or whatever people call them so hard to spell! The English language is a pain with words that sound the same but are spelt differently or past and present tense etc
Same!! Itâs honestly very stupid. My sister has been used to do her best friendâs test and other assignments, and she specifically said that she would do her assignments for payback, but never did anyways. She kept spamming her, asking her if itâs done. I got really mad.
The awkwardness, though, killed me! Itâs good that you have fairness!! Aww, you really are an amazing person for being this nice to her! Omg, she loves to torture you with her math homework!
It was back then (like 6 years ago). Now, most people are very independent. Donât worry, youâre not the only one. Iâm very shy. The people here arenât so nice, and there are people who are so mean to my friends.
I was still working on my 2 times tables in year 6 so I would have been 10.
I have trouble remembering sequences so when I started work and we had coded doors and I had to make up a story to remember them for example (not a real code) for
9801 I used to say 9 ate tea (80) once (1)
Or another time were were playing a game were you had to remember a sequence which was (real sequence)
Elephant, grape, ice cream, fork so to remember it I said the elephant ate grape ice cream with a fork itâs weird but it worked
when I was at school I was a well behaved student and was hardly ever in trouble and because of that the teachers trusted me quite a lot.
â I said that I would work with her and compare answers
