You know what your Kids' teacher is "teaching" your children?

I was in 4th grade. I think there are great teachers out there, but there are bad ones and probably a lot of them.

No doubt. My 4th grade teacher would hit me with yardsticks, rulers, and books. All because she did not like the fact that I would not bring an english - spanish dictionary to school because we were poor and I was already bilingual.

I corrected her in class once and that set her off.

She scared me so badly that every day before school I would puke my guts out and beg my mom to take me home.

Eventually, I was transfered to another school and she was fired. She then tried to sue my mom saying that my mom had caused her irreprable damage to both her career and her health. That suit was tossed out on its ear.

Now... as someone who works on a daily basis in the class room, I have to say that I have not had or seen anything like that happen in one of my classrooms from my teachers. Subs are another thing though. I have yet to go into a room with a sub who was even half way competent at their job.

One even had me take over the class for about 2 hours and sat at the teachers desk. I was furious but let it go at the time because the kids were more important than going upside the sub.

I reported her though... have not seen her back at that school since.
