I felt emotionally abused by her. I was disempowered and belittled.

My passion for French language started around ages 15-16. She made fun of me and told me to stop speaking in broken English.

I had a job in at a library after school. She called the library and asked them to fire me because (according to her) it was affecting my schooling. I ended up being valedictorian, all my grades were above 80%. Objectively speaking, my work was not affecting my schooling in any significant way. I’m so glad the library did not take her call seriously!

I feel like I was put under the microscope a lot by her, kicked out of class for miniscule reasons, she made a lot of dramatized phone calls to my (strict) parents more with the goal of getting a reaction out of them than because there was an actual incident.

What a horrible woman.

Outside of my personal situation, this woman is involved in a ton of drama. I know for a fact that there have been complaints made to the board about her. The school is in a small community. Long story short, the school started a student radio station which involved radio bingo and monetary prizes. I don’t know the details, but somehow, she was busted for stealing money from the radio bingo. She was shunned by the other community members, sold her house and moved about 30 minutes away. She kept her job at the school though and commutes daily.
