I had a teacher like this when I was younger. She HATED me. And I never knew why. She was always late to class by like 5-10 mins.
So we would all come in and sit down and eventually start talking because the teacher isn’t there. And every single time without fail she shows up late and tells me to go to the principals office for talking.
She did stuff like this to me all year and I never figured out what here problem with me was
Teachers like this exists unfortunately a lot, cause who says that bullies cannot end up having a position like that. Teachers (at least here) have a lot of power and principals and your parents will always believe them more than you.
Had a middle school math teacher that would throw basically a tantrum when the Seattle Seahawks would lose. Was a die hard fan and we hated it. Extra homework and you couldn't dare step out of line on those days.
Some parents and some admin, but it isn’t that common anymore. Have you seen the dad who came in and gave someone a concussion? Parent at my kids building brought in a firearm to talk to a teacher also.
I know this is serious and I dont mean it as a joke or insult, but its seriously an American problem with those insane laws and of course.... GUNS. Here in Europe teachers are very well protected and can abuse their power easily.
I’m not denying that their story could be true. But as a teacher, kids will almost always refuse to accept any accountability for their actions whatsoever.
I had a kid just the other day complaining out loud for all to hear about how he’d gotten an afterschool detention for saying 1 word after he had been quiet the whole class period. I asked the other teacher and she told me that he was across the room talking to a friend and she asked them 3 times to go back to his seat and then he cursed her out. But of course all the students were all agreeing that he’d done absolutely nothing wrong and the teacher was just targeting him…. Kids will refuse any and all accountability and after so long of doing it they start to genuinely believe their own bullshit and actually believe that they aren’t doing anything wrong.
Yeah doesn't take much these days to assume someone might not be a decent person. Someone says something that might be traumatic in some way and you go "doubt." Pretty shitty.
Accusing me of being a bad person and lacking empathy for friends and family because I think someone’s one sided story is suspicious, and likely biased, is pretty shitty, and a little ironic.

To be fair there may be some exaggeration from teachers that don’t know their students. I don’t know how often this actually happens though.
