isolate:

when I was in highschool the principle made my mum come in every week for a meeting about how shit my grades were, and didn’t ever take into consideration that I was struggling with my mental health at the time. he continued to describe education as being like ‘running a marathon’, and my mum was sick of hearing school prioritise a grade over my health, so she calmly said ‘what if your student has already ran half the marathon before getting to school?’ and he just sat there in silence with no response and I’ve neVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF MY MUM DROPPING THE MIC.
