Oh my god, I just found your Tumblr and I’m in love with it. I’m currently in high school (sophomore) and all I can do is read your memes and compare it to classmates and try to imagine what my teachers are thinking. Anyways, I have a question. Has a student done anything crazy, funny, or what-just-happened-moment to you in the middle of class? It happens a lot in my biology class and it adds a bit of relief to the hour. Feel free to share a funny class story if you have one!(you’re awesome btw)

Thanks!  Those moments in the middle of class are always the best.  They can be very distracting, but those are the things we will all remember.

I’m usually an above average student but lately I’ve been having very low grades in all of my classes because I am unable to focus in class. I told my mother but she feels I am making an excuse as to ‘Why I don’t do my homework’ and that I am trying to gain attention. She believes I am acting out and will not take me seriously, blaming my bas grades on not doing my homework. I’ve never had this problem before so that is why she believes this. What should I do? I hate fighting her of all people.

Try talking to your teachers about strategies to use in class.  They may notice some things that your are unaware of.  Explain your situation to your mother and explain your feelings.  If it is something beyond your control, you can also talk to your doctor.
