i suffer from major depression and severe executive dysfunction, and it makes it really hard for me to wake up early (around 6) to get to school. im late a lot, but i dont know how to communicate with my teachers about my mental illnesses and ways to help me still get the info. im supposed to get antidepressants, but they won’t be in for a while. do you have any tips on how to approach teachers about mental illness?
Just talk to your teachers privately. You don’t have to explain everything. Tell them you want to be here, but that it’s hard, and would appreciate any support to stay caught up. Be honest. I am glad you are getting help!

Why doesn’t my school give out homework?
Ask them?
Additionally, homework is not a good way to prove anything. I don’t give homework. If students don’t finish work in class because they wasted their time, they may need to complete work on their own time.

I have this teacher who talks really fast, so it’s hard for me to keep up, but my classmates can keep up with it and I feel so slow and dumb cause I can’t keep up.
Don’t feel that way. Talk to your teacher privately about your concerns and ask for extra help. I am sure you are not the only one who feels that way. Don’t follow the status quo. Take advantage of YOUR education.

I’m a 1st year teacher in a very rough school and no support from admin. I was told on the 1st day that they know I have the hardest kids in the school and they were there to support me, but it turns out they’re basing my midterm eval on my worst class. I no longer feel comfortable asking them for help bc they take it as I can’t do my job. Do you have any advice for dealing with unsupportive admin? I’m losing my mind!
I’ve been there! All you can do is try your best. Keep working with your students; they are the ones who matter. Try to get to know them on a personal level. Even when I’ve had rough classes, I’ve talked to them about how I need to be evaluated and they understood and behaved decently when admin came in to watch. Do you have union support? Check that out too.
