Today I was tired!

Today I was tired.

As humans we have all had one day when we are so tired we can’t think straight.

What adults don’t seem to realise is that how hard it is to survive a day of school when your brain is begging for sleep and refuses to work properly. What we don’t consider when we have had a sleepless night is how a good night sleep can save your life. It has been proven by science that lack of sleep can be as harmful whilst driving

As alcohol.

School is hard enough as it is with angry teachers who take out their anger with you and think that they own everyone, exams, and homework. And it’s not like teachers go any easier on you when you haven’t any sleep. What’s annoying is they don’t think twice about why you haven’t had any sleep. They all assume that you’ve stayed up all night watching TV. That’s not always the case. What if you was looking after a sick relative or doing the masses of homework to see if you can cope. Putting themselves   in a “win win” situation. Because if you can cope then they have won because they have put you through living hell. Where as if you can’t cope and don’t complete the homework they get the joy giving hours of detentions out like they are going out of fashion.

Do they do this to get some sought of petty revenge? Did a teacher be hard on them when they were young and doing it to the teachers of the future so the vicious cycle continues? Whatever it is sometimes teachers want to push you to breaking point in or out of the classroom.  This can mean saying something that you find hurtful or unnecessary. This has happened to me countless times throughout my secondary school life and I have only been there for two school years. Some teachers think they are untouchable and believe they can say whatever we want because we are only kids and can’t argue back without being threatened with such punishments as detentions, calls or letters home or exclusions.

I don’t know why they think this or why they think they are in apposition to publicly humiliate students. Just because they are given the responsibility to look after us they think they can treat us like dirt. For example this year. I was in a lesson and we had to go up to the teacher at the end of the lesson to make appointments for parents evening. And after a student had a slight disagreement with the teacher the teacher swore him at. And I found it inappropriate to swear directly at a thirteen-year-old student no matter what the circumstances were.
