when I was in junior high, my English teacher said "It's impossible for you as junior high students to understand Shakespeare". Never mind that my friends and I had just read the play we were discussing in class and liked and understood it. When she said something wrong and I corrected her, she told me to shut up and not speak during class again, unless I could add something relevant to the situation. This is also the woman who loved to use big words on her exam and frequently used them in the wrong context. But we were not allowed to clarify anything on exams, not allowed to ask questions, so I frequently got much lower grades than I should have. there was also the guidance counselor my senior year of high school that said the college would be to hard for me being a blind person, and refused to sign my college letters of recommendation. My dad has made copies of my two degrees and sent them to him. Dad wanted to frame them, I told him that might be going a wee bit overboard.
