Oh my. So sorry.
It's not your fault that this teacher has embraced one of the lamest myths to come down the pike of educational inequalities. You could have been talking to this person every other day for the last six weeks without necessarily changing (her?) mind. I mean, if everyone has evened out, they should all get the same score on the standardized high-stakes test, right? RIGHT? Oh, wrong. Sorry.
Repeat after me: the ignorance of this "educator" is not your fault.
My advice: take a deep breath and forget this for a few days. The only way to make a positive change will be if you approach the situation when feeling better, with a different way of looking at the problem. You probably won't be able to do that when you're stressed. So enjoy the weekend. Sleep, eat, have fun. Deal with this when your mind is clear.
