Teachers mistreating their students.

How many of us have felt that teachers play favorites with other students over ourselves?

How many of us feel that there is an existence of an underdog? It’s unnecessary to feel uncomfortable in a classroom just because a teacher doesn’t like you.

Consider a recent incident in which a student walked into class significantly unhappy, but chose to let it pass rather than trying to make a scene.  What would you do if the teacher called you out, telling you that they “didn’t need this” and that you’d have to “pack up your things and go to the nurse” if “you’re going to act like this”?

The student was confronted upon walking in, and was asked to leave. The effort to compose themselves dwindled and the accusation by the teacher caused the student to lose their composure.

When this happened, I noticed that the teacher in question talked to her as if she were disappointed in the student, and unnecessarily caused a scene, focusing the attention on someone who probably didn’t want to be seen.

When the student returned the next day, the teacher asked the student to step outside for a little chat, but didn’t apologize as the student expected them to do.

This made me livid. The teacher, ironically, never calls out the jocks while they’re talking during lectures. It’s as if the teacher favors the wrong doers rather than punishing them, and it honestly sickens me.

I was baffled to see a student who has never gotten in trouble in their entire life be punished for something they couldn’t control.

I don’t know why the teacher felt compelled to embarrass the student. But in my opinion, the teacher proved to be unprofessional and inconsiderate. What haunts me is the fact that I had little to no power.

I wonder how many quiet students are taken advantaged of by their teachers daily and nothing is done about it.
