Today she pulled me aside and said that she disagreed with what I had to say. I asked why and she said that she believed what defectors had wrote in their biographies (she didn't name any specific books). I didn't actually get to counter that (or respond to anything really) beyond the documentary (Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang) I linked in my email which she didn't watch apparently. She was respectful I guess. Should I respond with a critique of Escape from Camp 14 and In Order to Live or should I just brush it off?

    Did the math teacher call the cops on you? You can't even be tried as an adult for most of high school. Chill.

      you could just Google "teacher calls cops on student" and be met with enough stories to realize getting undue attention for being a "rebel" isnt always a great idea, especially when theres no material benefit, but I guess doing apologia for the education system to feel superior to someone online is easier. Its calls the school to prison pipeline for a reason. How many peoples first run in with the cops involves an "offense" during school?

        I'll throw in the caveat I'm not American. I organized students against recruitment booths in the school and the consequences were that there stopped being recruitment booths in the school.

        As far as googling teacher calls cops on students, the entire front page is about black kids who showed up late. White teachers who can't tell black people apart assumed they weren't students and called the cops. None were acrually inside the class or have any relations to opposing a teacher politically. This is racist Karen's in a panic cause black kids were knocking at the school door vs. a student being a good student despite the teachers opinion. Literally what will the cops do if called?
