A Student Who Couldn’t See the Board Freaked Out an Unhelpful Teacher

Making your way through school can be pretty rough. It’s hard to know who to trust and how to fit in, especially when you’ve got a problem you can’t quite put your finger on, or don’t really know how to express. Having trusted and empathetic adults in your life can make all the difference, and when that’s missing, you gotta get resourceful.

Take this story from r/PettyRevenge about a hard-nosed teacher who took no interest in real problem solving, and the student who made him blow his top.

Math Teacher Forgets Object Permanence, and Retires. from pettyrevenge

A problem with such a simple solution turned into a very telling test of character, and as it turns out, this is pretty common.

The writer clarified in the that she didn’t have glasses.

Most of the comments section was behind her.

Thy found it pretty gutsy.

Many shared similar stories.

Here’s an example of the whole thing being handled correctly.

The lack of empathy in the classroom going back decades is disheartening.

Raise your hand if you read all the wrong books in class!

While some commentators questioned why she hadn’t been more explicit about her needs, the clear consensus was that the adult in the room should have known better and done better.

Oh, and she later clarified that he broke the desk in the midst of this.

All in all, it’s a pretty wild story.

If you’re going into the education field, first of all, thank you, and second of all, remember to be open and empathetic to the kids who aren’t fitting your mold; there’s probably a good reason!

Who were your best/worst teachers?
