From 1st to 3rd grade my english teacher was extremely racist. She would only let me stay for half the class and constantly made problems where there were none. I once got in trouble for sliding my pencil case over to my friend cause he needed an eraser. I never had any of my questions answered and was forced to sit further away from the other students. She once told me "Indians (Native Americans) don't deserve to speak english". I was the only Native American in the class and I didn't understand racism at the time and would lash out for being singled out, obviously that only made things worse. I got labeled as a problem child because of this old hag. I lost all faith in my country's education system and became a slacker for the rest of my time in school.
