Lastly, I'm going to assume that you're an alcoholic yourself...since you seem so keen on defending them and their illness. If not, then I recommend you check your priorities. I for one pay taxes to send my children to school so that they can LEARN. If anything is impeding them of learning(like, oh, I don't know...a drunk teacher?) then it needs to be addressed. P.S. Scholarships are made purposely difficult to come across in the United States, since you can't just apply from anywhere you want. Most are regional, and hyper-specific. All schools are required by law to assist students in finding them, so her argument is valid regardless of your personal feelings.

I love this Valedictorian. She truly deserved that top of the class position. She was definitely smart enough to expose all of those so-called professionals on the perfect day at the perfect ceremony.

Very courageous of her. I love the school's comment that ignores her talking about her positive influences at the school. Her speech is forcing the school to acknowledge and address the issues she faced. Sometimes that's the only way to change things for the better for future classes of that high school. I think most students in her position would've felt and wanted to say the same, it's just hard to be courageous like that and most students just bite their tongue and give a fluffy speech.

Turns out the teacher was suffering from stroke? I feel bad for the teach now cuz stroke can indeed make you look intoxicated as part of the aftereffects. She could be lying but there is some evidence of it so it was probably a misunderstanding on the students part

I like how in the schools response they try to paint her as the bad guy, by saying that there are a lot of hard working teachers in the district, when the report said she spent the first half of her speech thanking those that were genuinely helpful and good at their job, she was only calling out the ones she felt needed to be called out.

"It's unfortunate that she had to air such grievances" It's unfortunate that you decided to let such grievances happen.

@jeonglix5603

@@kayleahrierson628 For most of the year? Because I highly doubt the valedictorian would've said that if that happened and students are normally told/emailed that something has happened and the teacher/counselor would not be at school for a few weeks. When things like that happen, the other counselors/ a new temporary counselor is appointed/hired to help students. She could've let the students know there was a family issue and she would not be available and would reschedule their appointments with other counselors or for when she was able to come back to work. Plus the student would've known it if you know it and wouldn't have blamed her for being absent for that but for the rest of the school year. I'm sorry for her loss.

When I applied for college, I wasn’t informed of any scholarships by my school’s employees because my grades were not among the first 20% percentile in the class. I didn’t know about many scholarships until I physically show up to the university admissions office to ask for information.

We had a teachers assistant at my high school who was pretty cool. She was always different but I've realized in my time since high school how different this woman really was. She was older than most of the teachers probably late 40s early 50s and I remember her asking this one kid how things are at his job. This guy was not the best student and definitely struggled but he managed to graduate. While basically every other high school teacher saw working in high school as a waste of time, this teacher knew that that guy was gonna be working a job like that forever and that his success there while he was in high school was gonna help him move up within the company or a similar company and I'm pretty sure he still is doing something similar to this day. We also asked her one Friday night if she had any plans and she responded with "working my other job". It's pretty cool that she took the time to understand and talk with students like that (and I wasn't much different) where as the rest of the staff it was almost like we didn't exist. Most teachers seem to only really care about their smart kids that are gonna go to a big expensive college or whatever because that's who makes them look good. Rarely is there support for the underprivileged kids (usually males) who are lucky to still be in school because once they graduate they're gonna be into the workforce and none of that will matter to them.

I can tell this speech probably wasn’t authorized by the school but sometimes you might have to be sneaky to get the truth out. It must be a great feeling, accomplishing something so big while speaking out against those who wronged you and wanted you to fail. There’s no greater sense of retribution. Even if it doesn’t lead to change at your institution, at least you’ve had your voice heard. Good job.

It would have made them look bad if they shut of her mic or pulled her off stage. It would basically show that they are guilty and trying to cover up - not to mention the social taboo of "silencing a child", and the media fallout would have been a hundred times worse. The only thing they COULD do was stand there and wait for it to end and do damage control afterwards. Honestly, it was a brilliant move by the student because they would have brushed ot under the rug if she "aired her grievances" on a letter or in the privacy of their offices because they protect each other and their jobs so nothing would have been done. Epically if she had waited until after the graduation - they would say shes no longer a student and dismiss her. So doing it this way forces them to hear her and address the issues because now the media and everyone else knows and are watching their response.

@@jansonshrock2859 Good. I would never want to graduate if it meant perpetuating the toxic environment and just pass the buck for future generations to suffer. I would remember back at this proudly, because we would've overcome the atrocities the school allowed. Students and their parents deserved better and to act as if they were given anything but a lesser education, might as well have dropped out and gone to an adult school instead. Only weak minded people with little chance of success would graduate with their heads hung low and allow their failed mentors to overshadow them.

Alexa, drop some truth bombs.

2 years ago, and it’s still ICONIC.

I would never hire this student at my college, nor would I allow her to attend here. Nothing good can come out of this sort of behavior. She showed her true colors in public to all to see how she handles issues.

2:41-2:50 I'm sorry, but if all the students are screaming on every word she says. I think she may be correct about the allegations.

They literally left her no recourse but to let the truth be known and I can almost certainly garuntee this isn't the only school that has such issues, not by a long shot. Students and parents need to take action now to stop this from getting any worse than it already is.

Or maybe they're just kids who think anything is funny?

" It's unfortunate that she had to air her grievances like this." No, they're just embarrassed because they got called out.

@@phantasm6786 Yea but that’s because it’s ghetto to call someone out in public. It’s showing no class. The correct way is to speak to that person directly in a private to address the issue first. Do Parents not teach class anymore or did social media teach it’s okay to put everything on the internet? 🤔

@@alexmendez3681 Must be a problem with the previous generation too cause my teachers called whoever they felt like out in public. I'm referring to non-school related topics.

I completely understand why she did this. Kids who excel in academics are not heard. The focus tends to be on the athletic department and anything that brings in money. When I was in high school, I had a teacher who got drunk every morning during class and didn’t bother to teach us anything, and he was a coach. My best friend was the salutatorian of our class, and I ended up writing her graduation speech. It ended up being censored by the administration, but some of it was allowed. It criticized the school because they glorified the sports (specifically football) because of the money it brought in) and severely neglected the academics and the students who they depended on to keep the doors open (accreditation and test scores). They always acted so proud at graduation when the students got scholarships and grants for academics, but they ignored them until they needed to use them for something. As a former teacher, I am really proud of this young woman for speaking out and taking a stand. She seems to have an understanding that change is slow in a larger scale like this, but that it shouldn’t stop her from making the effort. I certainly hope that she will realize that her experience was not unique, unfortunately. But I hope that she will continue to fight the good fight as she continues to grow and learn. I wish her all good things as she continues her education. I’m sure her parents are very proud of her.

Thank you. You are very brave for that speech. I hope and pray you have a bright future. God Bless you.

That was my least liked teacher. The one who had nothing for the average, or the struggling, but instead elected to pour all their attention into the gifted students as if they were the ones that needed the help learning to be a better student. As though some future famous author was going to vindicate all the years they committed to the teaching profession with some fold out in a book sleeve, "About the author," where they thank the English teacher that inspired them back in highschool. I find that, among Christian's, this is also the same person to whom the "going *to* church," will never be as important to them as the "being seen *at* church," is.

My staff at my shool was terrible!! They always made appointments that never ended up being fulfilled and I genuinely feel like my school district let so many students who needed actual help slip through the cracks. I skipped classes everyday because I was being bullied and would cry in the staircase almost every day but all I got were scathing phone calls to home rather than giving me the help I asked for several times. my skipping made me behind in my classes and so instead of taking the classes I needed they put a bunch of electives instead of my core classes. Luckily I got out of there my senior year and I don't miss it at all but I never made good high school memories and that's what I regret most
