She is the reason I went into teaching – because middle school kids are already experiencing the hardest years of their lives, so if I can make it a little easier, then that’s good!

With that, you kind of have to understand where he/she is coming from. Maybe you should try to show more respect and interest in the subject. That might help them remember why they became teachers in the first place. It’s a win-win situation.

Teaching an LD student is not easy. Not every teacher knows how to do this. I am sorry for those who do not have the skills and take it out on the students who end to be among the mist sensitive and the most needing of attention and time.

Perhaps you should be in special classes which are educed in class size and where the teachers are hopefully trained and have a better heart. Speak to you parents about that.

I am sorry for your bad experiences. perhaps this school year will be different for you.

The same goes for a teacher-if one or two students fail it is most likely the students fault but if half or more are failing it is most likely the teachers fault.

I spent all of my primary and secondary

education with a learning disability in Math

and never knew. I always wondered why

I was never successfull in math and only

once in 7th grade did I have a teacher who

taught me more in one day then most had in

a school year. That is why I intend on teaching

kids with learning disabilities. Maybe you can

take your bad experience and help those who

are as misunderstood as you were. I did 😉
