Discussion Ever had a teacher just absolutely BLOW UP on a student for a VERY stupid reason?

For me, this was back in 7th grade when I was 13, it was my algebra 1 teacher. She was always kind of an asshole. Almost all the kids were pretty scared of her. She was SUPER strict and yelled A LOT. She also was pretty tall and strong. She gave the vibe of someone who'd beat children if it was legal.

She had a pretty stupid "NO pens allowed, pencils ONLY" rule because she "wanted us to show our work and be able to erase it."

This one day, this girl came in with a pen. The teacher was like "I thought I made it clear since the first day no freaking pens in my classroom!" in a very loud and angry tone. And the girl tried to explain that she lost her pencil earlier today, and that all she has is a pen, that she won't bring a pen tomorrow and going forward.

And then the teacher literally snatched the pen away from her and threw it in the trash. She then told the girl "ask someone to borrow a pencil then! easy!"

Then as the teacher was walking away, not even facing the girl, the girl very slightly rolled her eyes and shook her head lightly. It was barely even noticeable. And the teacher apparently saw it from her peripheral vision. And then the teacher went absolutely NUTS.

"OH HELL NO YOUNG LADY! YOU DID NOT JUST ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME! ROLL YOUR EYES AT YOUR PARENTS NOT AT YOUR TEACHERS! GET OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM NOW YOUNG LADY! NOW! GO STRAIGHT TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE! YOU ARE IN HUGE TROUBLE!"

And the girl rolled her eyes again, this time a lot more explicitly, letting out a big sigh, and reluctantly got out of her chair to leave the classroom.

And it was just like... holy shit.

And to clarify this girl wasn't even the troublemaking kind with a bad reputation or anything. She was generally pretty polite and did almost everything the teachers told her to. So the algebra teacher really DID just blow up for no reason.

Control freaks shouldn't hold positions of authority

Control freaks shouldn't hold positions of authority

Ah yeah. 100%. It's fucking ridiculous.

This also extends to even the school dress codes.

Shorts that show your butt cheeks, understandable for it to not be allowed. Visible shoulders however? Wtf? Who the hell is gonna get a boner over shoulders anyway?

And if anything that only wastes more time: pull the student out of class, send them to the principal's office, have the student call their parents, have the parents leave in the middle of work to bring dress-code appropriate clothes, have the parents drive all the way, bring the clothes to school, then the parents head back to work again, etc...and all over some fucking shoulders.

A lot of these people seem to be those who never got power and now want to use it on anyone they find to get that feeling of control in their lives.
