What is ok and what is not ok?

Is a teacher actually allowed to say this to a student? or not? Since when should a student get so mad they leave the class and school. Is it normal?

Hi hello my beautiful people! I hope you all are doing well! I am currently in the bath, in shock but mostly pissed off.

Is a teacher allowed to degrade a student and tell them insulting stuff?..

Infront of a whole class plus the other teacher? Yet none of them said anything back to the teacher L . Oh this is the same teacher as I wrote about HERE, Where she called me and J names. .

Let me explain from the begin (yes iam still super mad, well no.. im pissed)

Today in school, we had a class called “Good and health”(/  Kost och hälsa) and today it was about laws, rules and all that shebang. Which i kinda knew like 99% of what the first hour was spoken  about and the questions asked. Oh yeah, I didn’t last in class for even an hour.

All of a sudden, the teacher L (who was insulting me) asked how many were voting, and I said honestly, “No. I don’t vote” (let me clear things here, I do vote but not for some team). Because all of them are saying the same stuff, never keep the promises, and never actually work for it to make it happen. Plus, I’m not into politics, etc., She turned around towards me and said this (and I quote), “You don’t deserve to live in Sweden! You should move and live in Iraq, Syria, or any of those countries! Those who have dictatorship! You don’t deserve democracy.” Like… excuse me? Is a teacher really allowed to say that? Getting personal and attacking me by saying stuff like that. Oh, I never had a chance to finish my sentence after “no.”

Picture this, it was me plus ten other students and one extra teacher in the class so we were total 11 students and 2 teachers.. Yet NO ONE stood up for me and told the other teacher off.

It ended up me leaving the class to try calm down (which FYI, didn’t work) so I chatted and told J what happened and she told me to go home. So I did!

I went into the classroom,packed all my stuff, put the laptop back, grabbed my bag and left. L (the teacher) said “Are you leaving?” so I answered her “Yeah iam.. and it is your fault” and smacked the door close.

Sure, it was maybe not a smart move from me to do that with the door but I was so angry! So mad!

I left the school entirely.  I couldn’t stay. It would have been chaotic and having me so mad there, would make the situation worse.

After what happened in school, I needed coffee. I don’t drink regular coffee, so I had this. It’s not often I drink this (anymore).

I went home, and 9 hours-ish later, I am in the bath. Still mad and writing this post. I can’t calm down. I have actually sent an email to the principal, and I have written to the teacher letting her know that it wasn’t OK what she said and did towards me.

Are teachers actually allowed to be like this towards a student??

This isn’t the first time she is being rude towards me. I had the same teacher when I studied nurse assistant ..

Thank god nothing happened to them and that I have 3 insurances.

All day went fine until the last moment of my day as an intern. Accidents happen, and it was my very first time I did this. How crazy is that?

Hello loves, Today some stuff happened and it hurts. Im currently in bed writing this while listening to white noise with rain and thunder to fall asleep again. I accidentally fell asleep next to my son in his bed.

Anyway, here we go with today at the internship.

The morning ; all went fine. Today I was at my internship at my “normal” time which made me so happy. Came to the internship, greeted everyone and saw two children sit at the small table, playing with play-doh so I joined them. We spoke about shapes, colors, animals, bugs etc. It was really fun! After a little time it was time to set the tables for breakfast so I helped out while the children went and washed their hands.

This morning I tried something I have never tried before and that was (I dont know what it calls on English so I will write on Swedish but (translation like this) after the word) Skinkost (Hamcheese) which is a typical breakfast item in Sweden. It’s soft cheese with pieces of ham in it, inside of a tube (to see picture of what I mean. Click HERE) It was not as horrible as I have always thought but it wasn’t anything for me.

After breakfast, it was activities, so every child got to do what they wanted til it was it was time for lunch. I joined children who sat at the tiny table (they wanted me there) and we made some beads plates and beads jewelry. Super cosy!

oh yeah, the children who got to do what they wanted, got to stay inside (half group) and the other children went outside.

Middle of the day;

Whwn the children who were outside came back inside, my supervisor and I started to set the tables for lunch. Everything went smoothly! Play time after and again, I got called to the tiny table (mind you that while I was sitting there, I also was a “staff” so I went many times to check on the other children) to sit down and do some beads.

I started with a pumpkin. Last week I did that as well but it failed and got dropped so I didn’t bother to fix it again. So today I made a different one. Super cute!

This is the moment when I got a burn mark; While I was ironing the beads plates to melt them together, the iron fell on my arm.

The pain was unbearable.  I rushed my arm under ice cold water and now I have a big square burn mark on my arm. How it could become a square one is beyond me, when the iron just hit my arm on one spot (I will show later if I can manage to take a picture where it shows) .

Right now i just removed the bandage of it and it ripped skin off from the burn mark. So now it’s burning again. I think I need to go to the doctor tomorrow and get something. But I do know I must report to my teacher (insurance etc) .

Now it is time for bed and I need to switch side so I dont lay on my arm.

Today’s lesson I will remember (and the burn mark) is that I will never iron bead plates again. It was my first time, and this happened? No, thank you. But I’m glad it happened to me and not to any of the children. So that is the positive view of this situation.

How would you react if this happened to you? Has it happened to you?

What Happens When the Person Who’s Supposed to Teach You Breaks Your Spirit

I was hurt. I was angry. I left the class but came back. I sat in the back behind everyone instead of up front.

Yesterday I didn’t blog due to me trying to calm down the whole day. It was insane how mad I was.

Yes, I have my legs on a table in the back. I have informed my teacher that it’s a way for me to calm down in situations that occur and my mind can’t handle, so I have permission to do it. Even if people think it’s rude, it helps me. Weird, I know, but that’s how I discovered what works when anger takes over and I want to participate in stuff but need distractions.

It was the first class of the day. Food and health (yeah, it really is a class in that with this education), and we had a discussion in the whole class about obesity, diseases, what’s true and false, etc.

During the discussion in class, she mentioned that you only become overweight if you eat badly and don’t exercise, which I objected to and corrected her and said it’s also genetic and that you can gain weight from different kinds of medicines. Nope, I was wrong! And then she said the same about diabetes, which I was correcting her on again, and said, “It’s also genetic,“ which again, I was wrong about.

Then she started to say a lot of (well, she had already said a lot of bs) untrustworthy information about diets, etc. She also said that, and I quote, “Doctors, nurses, and dieticians are wrong with everything they say about food and health.” Like, excuse me!?

So again, I corrected her, and another classmate corrected her as well, which made the teacher call us LIARS! And that’s when I got mad.

Not only did she literally hold speeches with lies and think the entire class was stupid and not have any form of knowledge about food and health, but she called me (and J) liars!

Note that both J and I pretty much grew up in hospitals, have been in contact with many doctors, nurses, and dieticians personally and together with my mom when she had throat cancer… and I am also a nurse assistant, while this teacher has no healthcare education but works out a lot.

Honestly, how can a teacher who is supposed to encourage a student to learn and participate just call a student a liar? What happens when a teacher tears a student down? Why do some teachers do that?

Me, myself and I are angry and hurt. I honestly don’t wanna participate in her class anymore but sadly I must

Second class for the day.. health pedagogy (is that the word?)

Finally, no more of that BS-talking teacher. It was time to have one of my new favorite teachers, M! I rarely say it but I actually enjoy having class when she holds the classes.

We spoke about what’s healthy for me and what’s healthy for preschool children. It was super interesting, and we had to think hard on this one. Unfortunately the teacher was quick on erasing everything off the whiteboard, but luckily I wrote it down for the children.

Activities outside, fruit moments, singing, dancing, etc., were up on the board, but also feeling valued, being seen & heard, etc. It was stuff that was obvious but also other stuff you normally don’t think of, they happen naturally.

It was a good class and I stayed the entire class/lesson.

TODAY WE HAD A CONVERSATION with M about the class where the teacher called us a liar. Now we gonna have a meeting, the two of us (J and I) and the teachers M and L.

I told M that I’m not accepting that L called me a liar and that I will continue to go to her class but not engage in discussions, etc. Just to avoid another class like this and cause problems in the class between me and the classmates.

Now this rant is over for this time. Sorry for being so negative in this post, but I really need to clear my head.
