[cw; death, but years ago] Huh.
LiberBEARian
So I had this one teacher who almost kneecapped my whole self-esteem in undergrad
LiberBEARian
and I'm hanging out on ratemyprofessor for my last class and out of curiosity look up my old department in my undergraduate university
LiberBEARian
and was wondering why she didn't have any ratings past 2017
LiberBEARian
Thinking she might have retired
LiberBEARian
Nope she died in 2018
LiberBEARian
And there's this weird relaxation that just came over me??
LiberBEARian
She tortured me.
LiberBEARian
She pushed me far beyond my limits and I felt like shit whenever I was near her.
LiberBEARian
And IDK it's weird because she was my teacher a full 10 years ago. She was like miles and miles away
LiberBEARian
But there was this crushing sense of relief that if I ever wanted to go back to that school I wouldn't have to see her again
spooky queer
i mean this kind of thing can haunt you for years so it totally makes sense you'd feel relief even now
spooky queer
i'm sorry you went through that though, teachers can be awful sometimes -_-
LiberBEARian
I mean, I've had tough teachers. Ones who will give vague assignments or not show up to class or mumble or be extremely hard graders.
LiberBEARian
This one would bully people. Condescend and make you humiliate yourself
LiberBEARian
I was only the brunt of her full self once but I remember crying in the shower for a very long weekend.
LiberBEARian
FYI to any people who are teachers or are planning to be teachers: If you want kids to staple their papers, and one of them doesn't, don't make him walk to the front of the class, hold up his loose papers, drop them and then make him get down on the floor to pick up where they all left
LiberBEARian
That one wasn't me but I saw it happen
LiberBEARian
She would split the class into two groups: those who followed an assignment correctly and those who didn't, and make the ones who didn't stand up during that class period.
LiberBEARian
we were like 18 and 19 years old. wtf

Ugh. Bully teachers do so much harm.

what the fuck, man.
no wonder you have some kind of sigh of relief at receiving this information. that teacher sounds fucking awful
𝔚𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔠𝔯𝔞𝔣𝔱
That is some sociopathic power triply omg. I think relief is a fair reaction because yikes.
spooky queer
that's horrendous
spooky queer
some ppl should just not be in the teaching profession at all

spooky queer
(i could say some things but it would require extra warnings so)
spooky queer
i'll just say that (LOL)
LiberBEARian
She chose me as a T.A. one year and then redacted it when she fucked up and yelled at me for it in front of my group.
LiberBEARian
Which in retrospect was a blessing in disguise but really fucked my head up
LiberBEARian
Because she got really personal about it too and was telling me about how I was a fuck-up, etc. In the emotional maturity of my 30s, I wanna give my younger self a hug and go like "fuck her, she's wrong"
spooky queer
wow wtf
no mortal blade
Wow I hope multiple people reported her, that’s just gross
LiberBEARian
She loved to brag that she had tenure. Most of my shitty teachers did
Themme Fatale
What a fucking scumbag! God, there are so many good people who go into teaching but then the 1% who - like any profession where you have power over others - are just fucking tyrants, and want the job because they WANT to have power over people who can't assert their own rights.
