I finished an English paper in class one time. But just the once!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What pushed my buttons was, what in god's name does this have to do with this child's inability to access the English curriculum? And we spent 15 minutes discussing her timidity and it's root cause (which is appropriate perhaps). At that time, the RSP teacher was like, "It's okay to be shy bla blah blah." But apparently it's not okay to wear baggy clothes or not go to prom.
Oh, Kat. Wow.
Oooof. Poor girl. WTF, RSP teacher.
"Hi! Here are our heteronormative guidelines! Squeeze on in!"
Yeah. It was bad. This one is not my fave RSP teacher. I actually coteach with my fave who is all about, "How do you manipulate the situation you are in... you don't have to do all the work, but you have to do 70% of it."
I wanted to punch this one in the crotch. Instead, I got up and left.

That sounds about right. Is there other stuff you're supposed to be learning in high school? I forget.
There's just so much that I want to say about how wrongity wrong with wrong sauce that was of her, but I think it might be redundant.
So Very Wrong.
Also, to reiterate, thanks, Meara: [link]
"Hi! Here are our heteronormative guidelines! Squeeze on in!"
Yeah, that sucks. I also would like to go on the record as saying no one who ever tried to intervene about my shyness helped my shyness in any way shape or form.
