I thought I glimpsed your post before you chose to retract it, Kitty. Is everything okay, I hope?
It’s just something I cannot control. So I decided to just let it go, and move on. In my perspective it’s a terrible decision that I just have to accept and work with. It involves a ministry - so I just decided to pray for that ministry’s future to be in God’s will. I wont give details because there’s not really anything that I have the power to change. But prayers for God’s guidance in this change would be appreciated.

Back in around Grade 2, I was in the school library with my class mates. The librarian would read us a story each time and let us go grab some books to take home and read. After story time was done, the librarian told the girls to go first. Me, a kid who rarely paid attention, jumped out to go get a book with the girls and all the kids roared out laughing.

I was pretty upset at that time but now I think it's a funny memory. I'm just thankful this happened in the 1990s rather than the 2010s. Otherwise, my teachers would try to convince me I'm transgender and pump me with hormones! :p
That reminds me of a memory from 3rd grade. We were going to watch a movie in class and it was rated PG, I was worried I wasn’t allowed to watch so I told my teacher I had to ask my mom permission to watch the PG movie... I asked my mom and she said yes. Both my teacher and my mom seemed to think my concern was odd but I guess I didn’t understand what the ratings meant. So we watched the movie, I think it was called Kazaam or something and as I was watching it I suddenly realized the teacher was yelling at me. Apparently she had been trying to talk to me for a while about some assignment but I was glued to the movie.
I guess I was a little bit embarrassed that I hadn’t heard her. But why was she interrupting my movie?!

They thought your request was odd? Until Grade 8 or so my school system wouldn't show any movies above a G rating unless we had our parent's signed permission. I remember in Grade 7 we had to get our parent's permission to watch the Jim Carrey version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas in order to watch it in class. My mother who worked at the school signed her name but also wrote "I do not give my son permission because I heard there's a topless scene in it." as a joke.
Well they never told me they thought it was weird. But I was the only kid who asked to ask my mom permission - so the class had to wait until I went to my mom’s classroom to ask her. And my mom probably said something like “of course”, when I asked.
That does seem strange that permission for a PG movie had to happen in 7th grade though. I guess they do that to avoid upsetting anyone. Why did your mom say no on the permission slip? Or did she sign yes and just joke no.
I think throughout school we mainly just watched G or PG movies - but I think we needed signed permission to watch an R rated movie in 11th grade history class. But the substitute told us to cover our eyes in the violent parts anyways. ^_^ Or maybe one of the students told the substitute to look away for those parts.....
My other teachers in high school would just show clips of movies so it didn’t matter what it was rated I guess. One teacher in 9th grade liked using Ace Ventura clips a bit too much... which I found a bit disturbing. The other movie clips he chose were good though.
