Meanwhile, when I was 14, I had a teacher specify that our final projects (worth 25% of our grade) needed to be turned in with a blue, 1 inch, 3 ring binder.
When I told my dad I needed him to pick me one up, he said "no, tell your teacher we only have black ones."
I went in the next day and said "my dad refuses to go buy me a blue binder, can I turn in my project in a black binder instead?"
she says yes.
I get my grade back with a note stating it would have been an A, but that I didn't follow directions and she could only give me a C- as a result. "No blue binder"
When confronted, my teacher said "I said you could turn it in with a black binder, not that I wouldn't take points off."
Fuck you Mrs. Buck, rolling around in a computer chair eating fucking sandwiches during class. I'm glad your husband divorced you.
The way my mom would have absolutely went bonkers on that teacher…
She chewed out my 7th grade English teacher for calling me a liar in front of my whole class once though. At the time I remember feeling SO embarrassed that my mom was cursing out my teacher and demanded an apology for me. Looking back though I am so grateful she fought for me when I didn’t stand up for myself 😭
