lol this happened today, same girl btw me: “can you put the middle finger down, it’s not appropriate and you shouldn’t be doing that anyways you should be working on your research paper” her: “shut the fuck up oh my god” i’m so over the disrespect.
what working in a high school is like me: “*girls name* please stop yelling across the room” girl: “who are you talking to? me: “you” girl: “hell no i know you’re not fucking talking to me i didn’t do anything. don’t tell me what to do” so disrespectful.

I remember witnessing this type of behavior as a child and it was genuinely confuse me. I never saw the point of being rude to my teachers. Even as an adult working in school (twins) I don’t know how to connect to children who act like that so I know how to heal those feelings. I recently thought about pulling those students aside and explaining my feelings when I am faced with disrespect.. like trying to have a conversation? I’m not sure..

is this not something they get penalties for, like being sent to the office or getting a detention?

My mom recently retired from teaching in a high school and she is a different person now I swear. So stress free 😭 I remember her opening a bottle of wine to grade papers at least once a week

i’m not a teacher i’m just an aide so i don’t have the power to write the kids up unfortunately, cause TRUST i’d be sending them to the office constantly. but teachers honestly just don’t care anymore, discipline does not affect these kids at all, they’re just like “whatever” and don’t learn anything from it

when i’m in the resource/“neurotypical” classes with my student i’m genuinely so stressed out cause these kids are so bad but when my student is out and i get to be in the md/autism room, it’s like a breath of fresh air, like those kids are so much better behaved than the majority of kids in typically around all day. and you would think it’s the other way around

I know 99% of the time it’s because the parents are terrible at parenting and blame the school for their child’s misbehavior, and I feel like ND kids are generally given closer, more proper attention than NT kids. Or, they’re disciplined more harshly for not being “normal”, which was definitely the case for me growing up. But who knows

i thought about doing that but with the kids i work with they just won’t care. they don’t care about anyone else’s feelings but their own, and they can’t see how anything they do could be wrong
