Here's my report card. First marking cycle of a junior in high school that plays SS.
I can actually say that SS has developed my vocabulary and has drasticly improved on my literacy but still gotta get that edumacation, ya know.

I got a C on both semesters of Japanese from my high school :\
Don't feel bad. You only need two years for college.

get frostfang/chino to help you with spanish!, if not them then their whole family, iirc they had 46+ members

My spanish class sucks because the majority of my classmates are spanish and sit in the front of the room. They finish before anyone else, so my teacher uses them as an example of the "normal" students, anyone who cannot keep up with them are considered a "bad" student, therefore i am usally discriminated agaisnt just because they know all the answers, even when i ask to slow down, i get told to keep up (how do i get on the same level of a peer who has been speaking spanish since he was born o0?) and because i am blacklisted, my teacher refuses to tutor me after school. It's ridiculous. . . but i guess i get a taste of what it's like to be "below average," and i've learned to not say i'm finished with this maths quadrilateral first becuase there might be someone struggling to keep up behind me.

Dude, discrimination in any school is warrant enough to straight to the principal/dean/superintendent. I don't care what that teacher believes, but discriminating any student for any reason is usually enough to get him or her fired and teaching licence revoked.

Yeah dude.

My assumption was that, since they were "Spanish" students from a "Spanish" background, in which their parents probably speak "Spanish", that they already know "Spanish". And they were using the class as an easy class for whatever reason. I know that even growing up in such background and knowing such language, being American means I can take the fucking class and no one will question my choice, in fact...I will have to take the class for both my high school and college requirements. Even better if the language class is the only language class in the school. One of my high schools *ONLY* taught Spanish, and another *ONLY* taught French. Even if you knew the language, you still had to take the class. End of story.

If I was in his situation, I'd go straight to the teacher's boss (eg Principal). That is how I've always done it, and it got results for me unless the whole staff was trying to kick me out (and yes, there was a high school that was deliberately doing it based on race) The teacher "has" to have had some kind of brain to get the bachelor's needed to teach, and has to know if the students in his or her class are well versed in whatever the teacher is teaching. Using the students that already know their stuff as the "baseline" for everyone has got to be the most stupidest thing for a teacher to do.

But, as my advise...talk to the teacher first, let the teacher know your frustrations. If the teacher blows you off and continues as before, go straight to the teacher's boss, usually the Principal. You lead us to believe your effort is sound, your understanding is not, and the teacher is deliberately using what I presume to be "Honors" students as a baseline for people who don't understand in the first place. If that is true,...oh boy, is that teacher in trouble.

Ok, I take back discrimination in general. I replace it with racism.

claro que te puedo ayudar con tu español

thanks frostfang, but it seem like i am a lost cause, especially when i had to google translate what you just said.

sometimes even that does not help me mostly Daedalus is the one helping me

Don't worry, a native speaker would have trouble figuring that mess out.

Yeaaaaa
