Is it normal for a teacher to cuss out the kids and humiliate them ?
When I had computer class, I thought this was normal at the time and that is was just something that should be dealt with.
I had a teacher that hated her job and would not teach to save her life. Everyone was completely terrified of the woman, she was a complete Wench.
No one asked questions because she would just yell at you and say what a worthless individual you were.
So we had the class split into these sections.
The idiots that had no idea what they were doing. The geniuses that were basically smart enough to be hackers. Then you had the kids who kind of knew what they were doing but half the time were lost. Those were the C students.
So we only had A kids, C kids and the F kids at the bottom of the crop. I am not horrible at computers but for the love of me I can not pass a computer class. I usually got C barely or D in most the computer classes I took.
So the teacher refused to repeat any instruction so if you missed a step, then you got yelled at for being an idiot. She also read very fast off a page and said "ok be done by this time" but did not want to help either. So, me being completely lost one day as I was not lucky enough to be sitting an A grade kid, was lost. I did what most of the kids did in the class: fiddled around on the internet, clicking random pages to pretend we did something.
I was the first to get caught along with the rest of my row soon after but it did not help, I sat right in front of teachers view, just out of luck.
So one she day she got very upset with me and screamed at me telling me what a worthless student I was, that I would never go to college, that I should go hang my self now and be done with it. That I should not have ever come out of the womb. That I am the scum of the earth and should go die.
Then after this she let the TA do the same to me.
It was so bad that the class (none of who really liked me as a friend) felt so horrible watching they begged the teacher to stop even though it meant they too would risk punishment.
This continued and I eventually wrote something even though I had no idea what I was writing so got the same thing happen 3 more times for the fact I had no idea what to do. I almost punched the TA at one point. The next class I went to happened to be PE so fuelled with rage and frustration I let out the frustration on a classmate of mine that complains because he never wants to try in PE even when we are doing something simple.
This was encouraged by my friend who was also fed up with his constant whining and refusing to try in PE. She after asked me though what was up with me? This got me in huge trouble but I know military people who are friends and I would think they must go through much worse than I did now this is acceptable behavior.
I do not know though do you think this is acceptable behavior for a teacher to her students. Or was I too sensitive about the matter? This happened a few years back, I'm not in high school anymore but I always looked back and thought was that normal? Do students deserve to be treated this way?
