The choir teacher at this school is an absolute bully. He expects you to be nice to him but is not nice to you. He's sexist and racist. He loves saying boys are better than girls, simply because some of the girls, including me, were too shy to sing on the spot. When more than one person was talking out of turn, he specifically called out me and said, "I get it you're white and privileged, and think you're entitled." Which was not the case, my family was so broke at the time we could only afford to go to GoodWill to get clothes.
My chemistry teacher in the 9th grade wouldn't let us go to the nurse or bathroom, because it was the last period. That's not okay, because we could have a medical emergency, and a lot of us take the bus after school so we don't have the option of going to the bathroom after the period is over. Also, you should never ban someone from needing to do a human function. We're humans, we pee, do I really need to explain that to you?
I have a huge problem with the dance and pe teachers at this school. It is never ok to ban one's right to privacy, and that's exactly what they did. They noticed a lot of girls were changing in the locker room's bathroom stalls and had a talk with us that it needed to stop, and even went as far as to put signs up saying no changing in the bathrooms. If your anything like me, I felt uncomfortable changing in front of everyone else, because I was sexually harassed at my old school which caused me to put myself through some self-harm. I was also afraid that I would be bullied by some of the other girls. So to say "it's fine we're all girls" is very ignorant, because you know how girls can be towards other girls at that age especially in high school. And, it's messed up that I have to say all this to possibly get someone to change it.
There would be boys in class talking to each-other saying the most disrespectful/homophobic/sexist/ignorant things about girls right by the teacher's and they would do absolutely nothing. read more
