I have a girl in my Algebra II & Trig class whose hand is up a LOT. She has a 96 average and gets the answer before her classmates have the chance to process the question. Even if hers is the only hand up I will sometimes choose not to call on her while I wait for the others in the class to process what I’m asking. And, yes, she’s of a different race than I am. It doesn’t make me Archie Bunker, it makes me a teacher of a class full of kids. Fortunately she understands.

You ask, and your teacher “blabbers.”

Still more excuses-- now it’s about your parents placing too much pressure on you. And unfairly taking away your phone.

Again, I get it. You’re a kid. You see the world through your lens. And some of your many complaints are probably valid. My point is that there’s just about always at least two sides to a story.

But let’s say that I buy each and every one of your arguments. You have horrible, horrible teachers. None of it is your fault, Your parents are wrong for putting all that pressure on you. You deserve to have your phone back. Your math teacher should stop blabbering, stop teaching the way he wants to teach, and teach your way. Your French teacher should let you know each time he is going to require you to know anything at all.

Yet none of that is going to happen even if I, an internet stranger, buy all your arguments. You’re still faced with grades you don’t love. What are you going to do about it?
