I had a French teacher who targeted me like this. She would call on me multiple times per lesson when I didn’t know the answer and she would give me a detention if I didn’t put my hand up at least twice per lesson and correctly answer.
She claimed that she was doing this because she liked me and that I had a French last name but the other dumb kid with a French last name didn’t get the same treatment. I went from getting 50% in exams to 90% by the end of the year and I dropped French straight after that. Which sucked because I liked French but I couldn’t risk getting stuck with her for another year. In total she must have caused me to spend at least 150 hours in detention
Your French teacher was better than mine. She’d roll her cart into the classroom speaking gibberish (My friend spoke fluent French. He couldn’t understand a word she said) and then she’d throw Telefrancais on as if that’s acceptable for teaching 8th grade French. Then give us worksheets in French with no explanation or teaching of the material, and sending us to the office if we tried to use a phone to translate them.
Her nonsense put my French learning behind, and made it all the more difficult in high school. Thanks Ms. Benaquista.

Yeah she may have been a cunt but she was still good at teaching.
That’s discrimination. You should of complained to a school administrator.
