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.
