Talk to her- in person, via email, write on a sticky note and hand it to her, etc... There's nothing she can do to help you if she doesn't know how you feel.

Using Gemini, ChatGPT, or any AI source (without the permission of my teacher) is never okay because...
It prohibits my learning. I am in school to learn and grow and prepare for high school and beyond. Using AI is a quick way to get answers, but I am not learning in the process, thus preventing me from being on grade level in some instances.
Having to be constantly reminded to stop talking, to turn in homework assignments, to focus in class, to stop touching your classmate, etc. will result in what two things?
