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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

That lady shouldn't be a teacher... Wtf is wrong with her??? Stupid.

You should go to your parents about this, and they should go to the school adimistrator. This teacher probably shoudn't be teaching if she quits on a student because of he said/she said. Well, pretty much for any reason, really.

If you don't understand, any previous efforts were likely in vain anyway.

Man..I feel sorry for all of her students, not just the ones with mental problems..Everyone has their own way of learning!

If she didn't know how to teach a mental student (as there are school specially for them) that's okay, but she needed to talk to op and his/her parents if he/she isn't in college and even if so try to contact them through email or some other communication way so she knows whether to recommend him/her to a mental school or teach him/her like a normal kid which they obviously are.

"Mental student"? "Mental school"?

Also, replace "normal" kid with "average" kid.

There are not schools for special education, they're just put in different classes depending on what learning disability they have.

OP- Wow, whoever told the teacher that is a scumbag. Ask who it was. Maybe it was someone you thought was a friend, or maybe it was someone in your family being a douche.

That is horrible!! I'm a teacher and I know that you NEVER give up on a student!!

If no other students are having issues learning from her then the problem must be with you. YDI

Even if the problem was with her it wouldn't technically mean that she deserves it in any way.
