Now mind you my school was a long time ago......

Give me help with what I was struggling with (language, history)
Let me advance with what I wasn't.(math ,science,art's )
Didn't assume they knew better (didn;t know at all)
Lump me in with the lot of "bad kids" (from the city, broken family)
Force me to do uncomfortable/painfull activities (Gym outside w/ Tshirt & shorts 5*c/41*f )
Didn't do the minimun they could (push thru the system)
.........

the above,for the most part, past or present, doesn't make a difference imo.

i wish theyd actually payed attention to when other kids poked fun at me. a lot of it was malicious and obvious and in front of teachers(name calling is obvious but so is trying to shove a students fingers under the bandsaw) and it wasnt one off things either. it was over and over and over again. the same people, the same comments over and over in front of the teachers. and if a child makes a compaint then dont let your flaming(anger at my teachers not you) response be "say sorry dont do it again" because its supposed to be "detention NOW". never once did any of my bullies get a punishment. not even a demerit. not even on the one occasion it got bad enough for the teachers to notice and bring us in for a talk. also if a kid like being alone on the playground and is happy that way could you just let it go and not make a big deal of it and tell their parents because mine did. a lot. it only got me into fights with my parents and was one of the issues that made my childhood rather dysphoric.

I wish I had sex with one of my T/A's but she gave me a massage sometimes.
