Teachers in the UK are fuckwits, I was getting bullied by groups of 10 people, all like 3-4 years older than me, when I went to them they said it was banter (because punching someone and making fun of their disabilites when you don't even know them is banter >.>) and then when I kept going to the teachers about it the teachers proceeded to call me a "tell-tale" (since apparently telling them multiple times about groups of 10 people who are bullying you is telling tales, even if it's the same people as last time and they've never done anything about it.) and they actually started to bully me themselves, putting me in classes below my test scores, talking shit to me and insulting me, blaming me for things I didn't do, ganging up on me, sending emails to all staff members about shit I did (when I didn't even do anything.) and then having the teachers "accidentally" leave it up on the class projectors so everyone read all that they said I did and hated me for it. and a few times sending me down to ISS then having my next period teacher ask where I was, and when told that I was in ISS, the previous lessons teacher who sent me down there (always for made up bullshit that never even happened.) would deny that they sent me down there so I'd get shit for trying to skip lessons, and my teachers often marking me as late even if I was early so that I would get detentions for being late. All I tried to do when I went to school was get by under the radar and get some good grades, then I started getting bullied and the teachers made it 100x worse when I tried to get help. Norway may be good for bullying, and my example may be a kinda rare one even in the UK since I'm in a really shit area, but believe me, where I am teachers were never there to fucking help you, besides, even in some of the nicer areas this kind off thing still happens a lot in the UK now. After all that bullshit in school I started doing homeschooling instead, and on the homeschooling forums I know off I've seen quite a few people, even in private schools in the UK in really nice areas who have had almost the exact same happen to them. UK is a shithole, the teachers are cunts and the school system is corrupt.

Probably an over reaction on my part on that one, but she had been insulting me and most of the class almost every day for the 2 years we had her as our teacher and constantly screaming at us all for no reason, so she kinda deserved it.) Oh, and I once said fuck off to an English teacher after she called me fat and made fun of my disability in front of the entire fucking class. (around 25 people.)


I see where you're coming from, but your post seems a massive over reaction to me. Whilst I did generally avoid conflict with my teachers, I did once or twice try to explain to them in private my side a few times, and you know where that gets you in the UK? In detention...After school....For an hour....Every day...For a week. Now I really do understand where you're coming from a lot though, because I used to really hate the people in school that would just start bullshit with the teachers because they could, but there's a big difference between starting shit with a teacher and defending yourself from shit from a teacher.

Also updated with the math teacher story, but very basic, a lot more shit happened with that which caused me to get so pissed off but I cba to spend an hour explaining

Quote:I reported the teachers to the head teachers a few times and they said they had spoke to them, also one of my friends mum was a dinner lady at the school, and when we stopped being friends she started giving me shit at school everyday, so me and my parents spoke to the head of year and he said he'd speak to her about it, a few days later he said she'd apologized but still heard her talk about me to other dinner ladies a lot and just stand in the corner of the room glaring at me (Like it was all my fault her son decided he preferred his new friends to me and didn't want to hang out with me anymore lel.)

However, just because the system works it does not me that it's good. The teachers are idiots, the school's are hell and it's just not a fun place to be. They teach you what you need to know to pass the exams, not what you need to do for the real world.
