In praise of the F word

I think it has a lot to do with the parent with the way they raise their children. I am next to the oldest in my family my older brother an straight A student ,and all that are under me were straight A students. Then there was me, D- was the grade that I was happy to get. School was not easy for me, but it was not until I wanted to join the Army that I found out why. In school I remember them giving me a hearing test an saying that I had a hearing problem and that I need to see a hearing specialist. Well my father and step mother that there was nothing wrong with me and I was just lazy and did not pay attention in school and that just lead to more beating when ever they had the chance to. I was always called a dumb ass and that I would never a mount to any thing. even my sibling had fun making fun of me. I can still remember the day my step mother yelling at me for the way I made my bed, so my father grabbed the two by two that they used as a paddle and broke it over the top of my head. the school bus was waiting for me so he grabbed my arm and shoved we out the door. By the time I got to school my shirt was covered in blood and no one cared. I got comment like maybe you should try harder. So to day I do my best for me and no one else. I don't talk to my sibling my step mother has past away and my father I could care less about.

So if you are a teacher and you have a student that is having trouble giving he is the easy way out for you. so maybe you should try a little harder to under stand what they are going through.
