Stereotypes, Prejudice And Discrimination In High School

This example doesn't only affect me, lots of students, teachers, and people in general are very bothered by this. For instance, last year during the SOL the teachers try very hard to keep the students walking down the hall silent, but there was one teacher standing outside my classroom who was practically yelling at the kids in the hallway to stop talking, but since she was talking so loudly it disrupted my thinking ability and I had to start over on the problem! Another instance, would also be when we are reading and there’s always one person in every class that has to keep their hands moving, playing with something, or, making a noise. In my case they were eating hot chile Cheetos puffs! Every time that they would take a bite not only would

it be strident, but they would also make loud grunting noises because it was spicy. It was so tough to read a book while the person behind me was chewing. Have you ever focused on something so hard that you could almost hear a ringing sound? Well, in my classroom last year there actually was a piercing, high pitched sound coming from the vent on the ceiling. My teacher couldn't hear it because it was high pitched, but every single kid in my class could! If you really listened you could even hear it faintly while the kids were talking, so irritating! On the other hand, when people talk while the teacher is talking does it make you mad? This year I have been assigned seats twice next to a person who not only didn't listen and copy down notes, but would also ask me for all of the answers, and talk to me while I was trying to learn! I would have felt rude saying something, but then I kinda just paid so much attention to the teacher, consequently, I would zone out! Furthermore, if I were not such a nit-pick about people talking and making (such annoying) noises, then I would have no problem, however I am, so I will have to try really hard to zone them out.
