I relate with this, I had an ableist teacher in middle school when students were picking groups obviously I was left out because of my severe stammer people thought I was stupid but the project was about Feudal Japan and I had a high score in the essay, test and google slides yet I was “stupid to them”. Now back to the situation when I and another student didn’t have anyone the teacher had the audacity to say “I guess these are the rejects” like wtf I knew I was rejected in the classroom now I’m told a reject by the teacher. A group took me in but this student treated me so terribly or wanted to provoke me and my heart dropped when he said “school shooter”. It hurts me to see that’s how people viewed me in school because I was DISABLED that’s how I was viewed and you know it was “okay” to students to make fun of people who may be different. I hate middle school with all of me it was the worst but enough of me I hope all is well with you
