Today, I was told by my teacher that she had 'given up' teaching me because someone had told her I have a mental illness, and that I don't understand what she says. FML

I'll take people that shouldn't be teachers for $400.

Talk to her about it, then find the asshole who told her.

Even if you had a mental illness she should try better to teach you instead of quit.

And done some actual research to see if OP actually had any mental illnesses. Contacted her parents, the principle at least.

You should mention something to your parents because this is a serious matter. Every child deserve a chance for education, mental illness or not.

FYL for having such a rude and gullible teacher, but how dumb do you have to be for her not to notice that information isn't correct? After all, your assignments can't be anywhere near good if still thinks you're mentally disabled.

Just because someone is mentally disabled doesn't mean their assignments will be "nowhere near good."

I think what 21 meant was in this particular situation, the teacher believes op's "mental illness" affected their learning abilities to the point where they didn't understand anything the teacher said, so how badly was op's work that the teacher continued to believe this rumour. I think if OP had good grades and was paying attention in class, etc, then the teacher wouldn't have believed the rumour in the first place.

"Giving up" on a student, regardless of mental illnesses, breaks the teacher code. She could get on probation for that!
