Hunter: For what it's worth I'm going to give you some advise based on reality, mine.
I can tell by your posts (from the beginning) you and school don't mix. Me neither, that said, stick it out and, get the most you can.
I have a very hi IQ (ability to learn) I could have been any thing I wanted, DR. lawyer, wall street, president, but I had a Psyco man/boy hater teacher in 5th grade that ruined my attitude towards school. soooo I quit at 14 and went to work. I'm still working at 71.
It is totally unfair, but,
"it is not truth that counts but, the perception of truth that counts".
In other words, with out that piece of paper that society seems to prize above all called a Diploma You can make it but, you will also make it hard.
.
" You are not responsible for what others think but your actions are."
I am very intelligent but also very ignorant. sit down and give it some long thought. mike. Some one who's been there

dude indeed don't worry revenge is a test of patience but even better is the fact your still young and can in the work and time while saving money not paying rent (love you mom miss you a lot) a business is a whole bigger thing but a simple short term is college you could easily pay for full ride working at this and still have time for fun.
but if nothing else work hard and buy some flash like everyone else but this time collect what the others soo happily toss away

They can treat you however they want to... the trick is how you react and respond to them. Don't give them what they may want... don't give up finish school and move on. One day you may be a caretaker in a nursing home and that teacher may show up needing help from you.

Yep, I have to second sledge's sentiment. I grew up with everything I wanted and could have had more but I've never been interested in much material wealth (I do like money though). Traveling that road, it wasn't hard to figure out that those with little have much more sense than those who have too much. Excess just makes you soft and stupid to the world around you. Never let what others think of you affect your own self esteem. Chances are pretty good they have less than you do and that's what they are trying to hide with all their shiny sh*t.

In 2001, I had a salesman at a BMW dealership turn his back on me one day as I was waiting for him to recognize my presence.
(That has happened to me a lot, as I never dress up to buy a vehicle)
I went to another dealer and bought a brand new Avalon XLS that day.
I still drive it every day.

Let me give you the best piece of advice I know of, personally having lived through it.
Life is a lesson in futility. The only thing futile in life is the practice of complaining without changing. Never has it made a difference to the working man what the bystander thinks of it. People have pointed fingers at everything from my truck to my haircut to my military service. I get people who snicker when they see me walking around walmart with a hitch in my step because the long day has inflamed my knees. I care not what anyone thinks. The checks and deposits speak for themselves. The lessons and friendships speak even more. Never stop doing what you enjoy because someone doesn't agree with your personal ideas of happiness. Said best by Morgan Freeman, some of the happiest people in the world come home smelling to high heaven at the end of the day. I wholeheartedly agree.
Another example. If you ever watched dirty jobs you will note...lots of happy people. People who smile, and joke and work real hard for a day's pay. That is what life is about everybody. Get to loving what you do or do something else. Who gives a crap what anyone else thinks about that. Money doesn't mean much if you feel empty inside for 10 hours a day.

Definitely.
I've noticed something- a lot of the Mercedes/BMW owners aren't happy or smiling it seems. They're usually stuck up, and look to be in a bad mood. This is true for the people that "have everything".
Take a look at someone in a clunker- they're usually very happy and kind.
Look at the people who worked for their car- be it a 20 year old Taurus or a new Mercedes. These people are some of the nicest, kindest people that you'll ever meet. They've worked hard, and they usually have respect for others who do.
If someone needs me to drive a nice car or dress differently to impress them, I have no use for those people. My first E-Waste truck was a 1992 Dakota with no inside door handle. I pulled into a large school to make my first pickup. The IT man was fully understanding. We've become very good friends since. I see him once every couple of months, and we get along very well.
Another IT person at a different school disproved of my equipment. She was later fired, and asked me about working.
I turned her down. I'll call the first guy if I need some help.

Couldn't agree more, I watched a documentry that stated as many as fifteen million jobs in america were lost to wal mart practices over the last 20 years. They went so far as to back it up with financial statements and purchase orders. Much of the FOOD you get at walmart isn't even American.

Worry not about the judgement of others. They likely don't have their own crap together and they will judge you to cover their own short comings. I have people that mock me for my business and y'know lifestyle choices. Screw 'em I make house payment off old fridges and feed my family by running scrap. Staying competitive is a cut above those who speak bull**** and judge.

Read a lot of great advice on this post but did not see a thank you much less your solution to the situation. Please let us know your course of action and the outcome.
If you cannot respond, it is assumed you are still crying in your blanket. Sorry, I am not into pity.
Teachers are not in the profession to make individuals miserable. They are not there for the money. They have personal reasons to be in the profession.
I left the profession because of government regulation. In 32 years, not one teacher stuck it to their students. More information was asked for and you did not respond. Therefore it is assumed you were on SMF instead of concentrating on your education. That was your choice. Good luck but do not ask for sympathy if you are not willing to fulfill your end of the equation.
