In reply to the discussion: 28-year-old Sanders wrote article saying "old bitch" teachers cause boys to grow up and have cancer [View all]womanofthehills
(10,988 posts)17. I actually had an old bitch teacher in 5th grade - she was a sociopath
She loved to humiliate students in front of the whole class until they cried. We had a girl in our class who stuttered really bad and she would make this girl get in front of the whole class to give a report that the girl was not capable of doing and we would witness this girl sobbing week after week. We knew this teacher was evil. but we did not have much power in those days. This stuff would not be permitted now but it was back then. Our heads had to be straight ahead and if we turned them a quarter of an inch, she screamed at us.
Teachers in some southern states are still allowed to hit kids.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
