Teachers gone bad, school bullying
Teachers who torment children

Mean teachers at school

He stood me up in front of the whole class and interrogated me about what happened. That was bad enough, but he then proceeded to yell at me and say horrible cruel things that made me feel even worse.



From the age of six I have experienced first hand just how horrible and mean some teachers can be. I have been tormented and even bullied by them. You may think that things like this don't go on nowadays, but how sure are you?

03-1-2008I feel so sorry for you. Quite a few years ago now, my (at the time) 7 year old nephew suddenly began hating school. He is a bright child - who excels in Maths and Science.

The effects of this are felt long after the child leaves the classroom, as you have depicted above. Degrading students publicly or privately is ...moreCat
