Ableism, Bad Staff, The Hashbrowns

Me and several other students only got diagnosed with autism only after we left the school. No one (at least in my grade) were diagnosed while we were there.

I left at the end of the school year and I was made to do this dumb form to show I returned everything and the teachers knew I was leaving. Again, at the end of the year. I was yelled at by the school I handed my form to for not doing it digital. Bitch it was a sign form, I wasn’t going to explain every single teacher one at a time. Even fucking then, why the form? My parents were going to stop paying you, so why the fucking form? They only started doing the form shit after a third of my grade left to go to CGS once our year level opened up.

A really kind teacher also left the same year I did and taught at the school I moved to. Apparently this isn’t just a staff to student problem, but a staff on teachers and staff on staff problem. The teachers had to announce a year in advance they would leave and then would be bullied by the other teachers. They would be forced to nolonger host clubs either.

I was very badly bullied in my last year at this school by a teacher. To this day I have night mares about this teacher almost 6 years after the fact. She accused me of skipping school in front of the classroom the day after I tried to kms. She didn’t know, but it was bringing me over the edge. The reason why I wasn’t there was because I was getting sick. I didn’t know why until three years later when I finally did a deep clean of my home. My mum is a hoarder, and we had been eating food that had expired. I found stuff that was expired before I was even born.

My last year was extremely rough on me to the point I had attempted to kms in the bathroom next to the library. I was attempting usually once every ten days directly because of the stress and bullying I suffered from at the hands of this school.

Other people have said it in other reviews but I’ll repeat it. There was a massive male teacher problem. One teacher’s wife leaked his nudes, another grabbed the wrist of a female teacher, there were sexist comments thrown by male teachers, and some male teachers were a bit sis to put it lightly.

The female teachers were just as bad don’t get me wrong. One teacher was actively using racial, homophobic and transphobic slurs in the classroom. We reported it and even told her they were wrong and yet it never got dealt with. She forgot about my school once.

I to this day get nightmares about this school. Maybe because I know it’s layout very well, but a lot of these nightmares are about me being forced ti go back there and be taught by the teacher who bullied me. The nightmares I had of this school while I was going there and since I left often have me with limited eyesight and having a ball and chain attached to me.

The only thing I miss about this school was the hush browns. No other place can make them as good, and I have tried. Someone please leak the recipe my depression needs it. Hell it would probably make my therapy cheaper because I wouldn’t have to go as regularly.
