Today, I was told by my teacher that she had 'given up' teaching me because someone had told her I have a mental illness, and that I don't understand what she says. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I, a person who has graduated high school, encountered one of my high school teachers in public. The one known for her rampant ableism against me and tendency to get heated when people don't respond immediately to her when she talks. I've had horrible social anxiety for several years. Do the math. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, a teacher told me in all seriousness that she believes my son, who has severe learning difficulties, is likely demonically possessed. I'm sorry, but what century are we living in? Now I have to get him moved to another school so he doesn't have to be in the care of this nutjob. FML
Today, my mom got pissed off at my doctor and called him a quack. She did this because he reassured her that I don't show any signs of the mental retardation that she's convinced herself I must have. FML
Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML
Today, I have problems with my memory. I asked a teacher if I could let my class know a bit about it. The teacher said I'd already told my class about it. My class had even asked a few questions to me about it. I don't remember anything about it. Maybe it didn't happen and the teacher just lied to me. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML

She told you this to your face? o.o I don't understand how a teacher could ever say that, even if she (god forbid) thought it.

We need more teachers who actually help students and not just give up on them. How are they suposed to get better at something if no one is helping them to?

Not to mention that "mental illness" is not autism or any learning disorder, but anxiety/depression/PTSD, and more extreme cases phobias, bipolar, psychosis, schizophrenia; any of which may impact consistency but not necessarily capability. Your teacher is ignorant and discriminatory.

Wouldn't matter she's still being ableist. Besides, some of the most intelligent and respected people have (or had) learning difficulties. Such as John Lennon, Pierre Curie, Albert Einstein and Jim Carrey.

Anyone who thumbed down my comment clearly did not understand me. I was saying that it does not matter that it was a mental illness and not a learning difficulty, because the teacher was still being an ableist by giving up on op. > . >. Action should be taken against the teacher.

I bet she didn't even try.

Tell the principle and your parents. She's passing judgement on something that isn't true. If you couldn't be taught you wouldn't be in school Or reg classes. By her doing this, you won't pass the class.

The ease at which she accepts your "disease". Does she also believe that all female Chinese wear dresses to the knees? Or that the moon is made of cheese?
