>>35187945corporal punishment at the hands of sonny-sensei, not because im trying to push his buttons on purpose but purely because im an idiot that tests his patience with my incompetence and baffling inability to learn. midterms are right around the corner, it's after-hours and he sits beside me trying to help me with fundamental concepts i am somehow still unable to grasp. the formula we're working on isn't even that difficult, he's shown me how to solve it step-by-step at least five times now and yet i still cant reproduce it on my own; im close to tears and his patience is wearing thin. his ability to see me as a human with a functioning brain is diminishing by the second, and so too is his ability to resist grabbing or hitting me like a stubborn dog that refuses to learn a new command
