right ive been doing spanish for over a year now at my school and ive NEVER been able to catch onto it, i do fine in all my other subjects besides this.

before the summer my teacher done our spanish NABs and it was a writing one and since i never knew about it i didnt write anything and failed it, but we are meant to have 3 tries at doing them. today was meant to be my 2nd and i was meant to do it at lunch but i asked my mum to write me a note saying that i didnt have to do it considering i already had a french exam this morning and it'd be hard learning both in one night and i gave her the letter at lunch and she said "right this is out of my hands im putting it forward to guidance" and just walked out so, when i got to her class 6th period she had on the board

"Those doing the writing exam
you have till 3.05 to prepare

Chelsea
Jennifer
Scott
If you fail, you will be dropped to int. 1"

so i was like erm what im not doing this ive told you and then she kinda ignored me so i just got on with whatever and at like 5 past 3 she goes scott come and sit down here (chelsea had already been isolated to a different room by this time i cba explaining why) and she gave me and scott paper and i said i wasnt doing it and she said whatever just write your name so i did and that was it i sat till half 3 doing nothing because i didnt know it and scott just wrote like "dear maria, this letter is about my relationship with my friends and my family" or sumit lmao idk.
so after school on the bus home i phoned my mum and told her what happened and she was like ill talk to you about it when she got home.
when she did she asked if there was gonna be trouble between me and my teacher and i just told her what happened about her dropping me from int 2 to 1 and stuff and she just took her side seriously my ace was like
>:( wtf
and we just argued about it and stuff :(
why did my mum take her side and say stuff like "youre obviously not doing the best you can do. plus if she didnt think you'd manage she would have dropped you from her class a long time ago" she doesnt quite get that you CAN'T do that arghhhhhhh. why did my mum take her side ? :|

Alot of parents do that because they obv. dont know the whole story and they cant just take your word, My mum does that to me and she was like "Thats what its like in the real world so get used to it" a couple of months back Sooooo ya know

Basically I think she doesnt grasp that you find it hard (Your mum or teacher) I never took spanish so i dont really know much about it but i didnt understand french to begin with - i got an extra lesson 1 on 1 and i new know alot about it - i understand all the little things etc. got highest mark in class at the end of year 9 :) i took it as one of my options.

LOL
OT: Just try and talk to your teacher about it and as for your mum, she will probably do that in the future anyway - but she isnt against in any way
