> i do want to let you know that something similar happened to me, they had what's called 'tracking' in my school and there were 3. track 1 were college bound and successes. track 2 were may go to vocational college and track 3, forget about them. (not to mention if you looked at the population, all track 1 came from wealthy families, track 2 middle income and track 3...poor -coincedance? think NOT)Yes, exactly. Not sure what kind of lala land my therapist grew up in that he didn't experience it like that. Or maybe the track 1s are all so sure that they are there based on pure merit they never question the system at all.
> i was in track 2. i wanted to take an anatomy class and he argued that basically i wasnt smart enough and that my bad grade in that class would bring my average down even further. (i won, took the class and got an A :))
You go girl.
> i still have VERY strong hate feelings toward those teachers, i never got to read any really neat books (that almost everyone else in this country has read) because of the english classes they put me in.
Yeah, it's hard for me to believe everything I missed out on too.
> Please take care of yourself and i'd revisit this issue with your T. tell him you thought he was acting defensive and why he felt that way, that that's just how your young you felt, and has every right to feel that way.Thanks Chica. You take care of yourself too.
