Verbally abusive teacher?!?

You shouldn't be talked at or spoken down to. Speak to the teacher, and if that doesn't work,then report it to the principal and or councilor at your school. this should not be happening to you or the other students. Yes, you are at a vulnerable age and your self esteem could be affected forever if you don't act now. Does your mom know that this is happening? If I was your mom I'll make sure that I would talk to the principal or councilor ... I'm not only a mom, I am also an English teacher and no matter what, I would never do this to a student. Stand up for yourself...Let your voice be heard!!! Good luck
