when i was in school i was a bully and i used to torment alot of my teacher for no reason. no, there was a reason, i was young and dumb and and on drugs. but i grew up and had my own kids and learned the hard way. i honestly believe what goes around comes around. when my son was in middle school he had alot of problems. he is adhd bi-polar and odd, and the teachers didn't know the first thing about dealing with kids like him. because of his bad behavior some not all of the teachers reverted to children themselves and started embarressing him in front of the whole class and making him feel stupid. it caused alot of problems for him, but then he caught on to what they were doing and he turned the tables on them and was involved in some bad rummors about certaim teachers about things that suppossedly happened along time ago. then when he would get to class he would embaress the teachers before they had a chance to embaress him. but kids can be cruel and the teacher couldn't compete with him.the results, they ended up telling him that if he would sit there and just keep quiet they would pass him,because it wasn't that he couldn't do the work but he was a behaviorial problem. whe i found out i removed him from the school and put him in private school. that experience started the path for a long and hard path to this day. teachers are so quick to punish the'bad' kid but yet when teachers do wrong they are given leeway and given more chances. don't get me wrong not all teachers are bad but as with anyone you have to becarefull with the choices you make at any age especially when your considering becoming a teacher because as i said earlier kids can be cruel and if they have parents who went to school with those teachers and know about their past, and now they r teaching the other persons kids, the teachers better hope their past doesn't come back to bite them . i feel bad for the teachers but to me what comes around, goes around. so to this teacher, stay strong and good luck!
