hello this is a rant/vent abt my final, you can ignore it
okay. my spanish teacher is amazing, she’s great at her job and is super good abt my accommodations-she’s fantastic. absolutely no hate to her whatsoever.
but. i have auditory processing issues. and they’re bad. bad to the point that on average if im not looking at you and face to face, i will not understand what you’re saying to me. bad to the point that my friends are so used to having to repeat things that sometimes they just say it twice without me having to ask. bad to the point that (and this is important) i cant listen to podcasts or anything like that (not music) without a transcript because i will hear it, yeah i can hear it, but fuck if i know what its saying.
so. please. for fucks sake. don’t give me a 6 minute long listening exercise that you can only listen to once followed by 15 questions.
that would be hard in english, but it was damn near impossible for me to do in spanish.
and i asked for a transcript, not from my teacher but from the guy who was monitoring my test (i take them in different classes) because i was not told in advance that i would be given this part of the test. and if i had known i would have asked a week ago.
and he said he didn’t want to call and ask bc it would be disruptive. yes i agree with that and im sorry but also, i need my accommodations. i dont just have them for fun. so we can find a non disruptive way to call the class, but i need to know if i can have that transcript, and guess what?
i can’t. bc it doesn’t exist.
so i’m like. hm, 80? 90% sure i failed that part.
*please note i take my spanish final in a different classroom bc i use papers and other things and it’s so the rest of the class doesn’t get weird abt it and ask why i get it and they don’t (happens a shockingly large amount of times)
#i know this might sound entitled and assholeish#and i know that i should be grateful for the opportunity to HAVE accommodations#and i VERY MUCH AM. it was a fight to even get this far and i am so thankful that i have them#but i wish it still wasent this fucking hard to pass a goddamn class#i cannot learn like ‘normal’ (normal dosent exist) and i need the playing field to be level.#my teachers and the admin are supposed to help. why don’t they?#school#vent#rant#finals#finals week#adhd#attention deficit hyperactivity disorder#actually adhd
