Teachers Who Bully ( We shouldn't be surprised)

I'd guess that they fall into 2 categories:
1. Teachers that are coaches...and that "bullying" (aka motivating!)
is part of their job.

OR

2. Teachers that are leftist nut-jobs, ready to hand out a "C-minus"
or worse to any student questioning the Marxist-Maoist-Stalinist
paradigm.
And ready to flunk anyone that exposes them to the rest of the class
as a pithed-frog-brain Commie nutburger.

I am sitting here laughing and laughing!

Some would say that their SAT and GRE scores would prove you right!

I don't know if it's so simple.

When I was in 6th grade, more than 45 years ago, I had a teacher who selected a student every year to pick on and ridicule - and turn the entire class against. I had the misfortune to be that lad. A transfer from the class was not practical, but ultimately my parents had to involve the board of education (4/5 of whom were family friends who took what my parents had to say seriously) to essentially have the guy forbidden to speak to me or about me (other than to give me assignments and tests and correct them), and everything he had written in my record was expunged. Within a year the teacher, who was tenured and could not be fired, was teaching the severely retarded for the rest of his career under very close supervision.

There is no forgiveness for an adult who abuses a position of authority to molest children, whether physically or through singling kids out for attack.
