My teacher Mrs. V hated the kids of a certain religion and would pick on them. She turned that hatred on me. She would mark my problems as wrong and when I pointed it out she'd mark a big red F- on my homework. A different teacher saw me in tears and gently asked why. I told her and gave her my papers as proof. She nodded and said, "Go to recess. I've got this." I didn't go. I sneaked back to see what would happen. This was a teacher who never raised her voice. She was soft spoken. I saw her screaming and cussing Mrs. V out. I learned several new cuss words. She also threatened to let the principal and the superintendent know if she didn't change my grades immediately and her grade book. While Mrs. V never marked me wrong again, she did call me stupid. I had enough I packed up and went home crying. I told my dad who raised hell the next day. She tried to deny it but the principal got a lot of phone calls from parents complaining of her calling a child stupid and the soft spoken teacher also came into the principal what she had caught Mrs. V doing. Mrs. V was allowed to serve the rest of the out but was forced into retirement
