You should not be a teacher. If all’s you want to do is continuously bitch about your career, pick one that doesn’t jeopardize the future of young minds

You’re right.  I spent five years of university and multiple thousands of dollars after the fact for additional qualifications just to ruin the lives of children.  I also definitely show 100% of my personal thoughts on how I hate my career choice through gifs.  They definitely illustrate all of my feelings and are not at all satirical.  Thank you for pointing this out to me.  I’m sure none of your teachers had anything to complain about with your fascinating insights.  Have a great day!

I wouldn’t say my teacher is a bad one, it’s just that the way he teaches is far too fast for me, especially since I’m struggling in his subject. My other classmates seem to be doing well though, so there are always those thoughts that maybe I’m just dumb floating around my head. Anyway, my question… How can I tell my teacher that I’ll need him to ‘slow down’ a bit… Or would it be better to just stay quiet and try to absorb what I can?

You should always speak up.  Talk to your teacher privately and explain that you are struggling.  Ask for some extra help.  Always, always ask.  It is YOUR education.

I have a student who was totally rude, lazy and a waste of space last year. Never submitted any work, and he was about to be kicked out. This year, he’s completely changed himself. I’m so proud of him, and I’ve praised him a lot. The only issue is now… I think he’s in love with me. How do I shoot him down without making him revert to his previous ways? I genuinely praise all my students, but… I’m scared I’ve led him on and don’t know how to back out of it :( I really care for his future :(

You would have to have a conversation about boundaries.  You could also discuss with an administrator about having this conversation so nothing comes out of context and you are covering all your bases.
