I had a white female teacher send me to Choice, basically in school suspension, for walking in the classroom literally 1 - 2 seconds before the bell rang, but not in my seat. The policy was that you be in the room before the bell rang. We had 5 minutes between classes and I had to go to basically the other side of the school to my locker to get my book. Soon as I walk in the door she sprung on me like a white Siberian tiger and told me to get out....some bullshyt, had to not only do in school suspension but after school suspension, missing half of football practice, meaning I had to run extra laps after practice.
The thing is I loved the subject and did good in the class and had never really been in trouble before. Some bullshyt......even the other students in the class which was 95% white were like

Teachers are human beings and make mistakes and can fuuck up like anybody else, or quite honestly can be bias/hateful.....most of my teachers have been decent to me, b/se I've generally wanted to learn, could keep up and not get distracted, or being a pissy attitude kid. With that said, imagine being in their shoes, and you got class or students that don't care about anything but treating their education like a joke..........hence the teacher has to put on the disciplinarian hat moreso than the instructor hat to make sure the lesson is imparted. It's not an easy field..............there are some rotten students....FOR MANY REASONS....home life, personal issues, etc etc etc. Thus, teaching has taken on a babysitting role as a opposed to a instructor role......and that probably creates alot of dismay.
Lets face it, when you have 9th graders reading on a 5th grade level, but having classwork/homework on a 9th grade level.....they get distracted, clown around, make fun of those do/or try to do well, don't take their work serious and instead of asking/recieving help or enrichment for being embarrased for being "slow" they act "ignorantly".....and you get the this......
