I had this teacher in fourth grade. She was kind of a jerk. She physically and verbally abused me. When I didn't pay attention or frustrated her she would grab my arm and squeeze it until my face cringed, and i felt it slipping from its socket. She was racist towards white people, and yes I do think we need to account for racism towards African-Americans, but it totally defeats the point if you just dirrect your anger towards another minority group. If I had told somebodt then, i prbly could have gotten her fired and she wouldn't have been promoted to the position of my schools principal, but i didn't know then that teachers had limited power, for all i knew, they could kill someone and leave scott-free. God, don't you hate it when that happens?
