At the start of 9th grade, our new teacher was introduced to us. It became evident that the class wasn't a solace anymore, in fact, it became a torment as the work that she placed was long and kind of impertinent,  examples of the work being( this is correct but could use a different wording as to make the sentence feel like it's not running on) locating all countries with its respecting(respective would be the correct word here, as respecting is a verb) name on a map of ww1 Europe or having to answer questions with robust argumentation in a short period of time (which she always checked one by one). Added to that, the class became mostly of participation which wasn’t so good for me because I tend to be furtive to avoid having to participate at all.
