Conflict over TS in Class

I was slightly perturbed when I filmed this, but I have the right to be perturbed. This girl's immature and conceited attitude really frustrated me. For all those who don't understand my disability, please try to be, or at least respect the fact that not everyone is as enabled as you are. And I will be forever thankful if you can just do that.

Oh sorry didn't realise you were actually reading the French books, big respect to you, I totally flunked languages and had to drop it in the end at GCSE (apart from the speaking bit), mainly due to the written parts. Good luck with your courses anyway.

@adhodgson1 not a problem. I actually really enjoy language courses, and ironically, even with my ineptitudes, I'm a writer. A good one, according to the university that just accepted me into their MFA program. I also really enjoy the French culture. Reading in it is fun, but it just takes forever.

Hi. Just wondered if you ever looked at using an audio copy of the text instead of reading it from a book? I used to do a bit of both when studying for English, that was at GCSE level though (aged 16).

@adhodgson1 I have tried that, and it helps a lot. Unfortunately, my French listening skills are not at the level of my French reading skills, and I'm not so sure I could find those books in audio anyways. For other classes though, I frequently listen to them while reading along. Thanks for the comment.

Maybe your teacher doesn't realize that she is a selfish bitch??? perhaps if you give her a hand ripping the pole out of her arse, she might loosen up a tad.

Haha. Thanks Mark! It was actually a student doing that. The teacher in that class is cool. It's great to hear the support though.

Good video. I used to have a professor that had TS. Apart from body movements he used to "laugh" a lot and extendedly in the middle of sentences, so that he had a hard time finishing these sentences. In the beginning we didn't understand what was going on, so some of the students started to laugh with him. While others felt uncomfortable. But later we started to realize that he wasn't genuinly laughing, but that it was compulsory. He never explained to us what was going on. I wish he would have.

Hi there, i have tourette's too, coupled with OCD and ADDS( and ADHD). I can't focus for long and my learning procress is freaking slow. Due to my frequent screw ups in my Nation Service (a compulsory for all male citizens for 2 years), i get scolded by my superior very and being punished easily. Like the same as you, they usualy i lack of effort and discipline, even when i told them my condition they still regard it as my fault. Still, i am going to do my best and my respect for you too Cheers!

@brianjeppesen I thought you'd appreciate that; yep that's the very same meaning, but I know it's a popular saying in your country. Hey, great to have seen you online last night bro.

Wow. Thanks for the post. It put me in a great mood. I'm not sure if "pecker" means the same thing there as it means here, but with my understanding of the word, following it by telling me to continue "spreading my positive energy" is simply hilarious.
