Memorable Learning Experience

One class period on a B day I was in Mr. Jones class. It was one of the B days I have gotten back from my 10 day suspension. I wasn’t familiar with the work he was doing with the rest of the class. I politely asked him to slow down a bit and explain this more fluently so that I better understand it. He told me that I would have to try and catch up on my own and that he can slow down and he have to keep going because everyone else is caught up. At that point I was so mad and disgusted that a teacher won’t take the time to slow down and help one of his students. This is one of the negative learning experiences I have had. This all could’ve been avoided if he just took the time to help me out instead of shutting me out. I am very saddened by my absence out of school but I am trying to better myself by asking for help. I also understand that my absences gave me a disadvantage to learn and do class work. What happened to the no child left behind law? I feel left behind. I know it’s my fault but if I ask for help and don’t get it … it’s the teacher’s job and duty to give me the applicable help I need.
