My homeroom teacher bullies people who do bad on maths test
The story
This sort of involves two things so basically, i had a maths test which i had been away to learn one of the topics and this topic took up two pages of my five page test, so i skipped the pages and i wouldn't say i did particularly well on the rest three so my estimated score is 20-30 percent. Im in one of the two advanced maths classes and my teacher is trash but that's not the point.
Today i heard from my friend who is in the other advanced maths class and before they had even gotten their results for the same test, their teacher literally announced the worse scores and who got them IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS, WITH THE GOAL OF HUMILIATING THEM. The person who got the lowest score, I'll call him James, he got a 50 percent score. Keep in mind that it's advanced so it's basically a 60-70 percent standard score. The teacher bullied him in class. Literally. She purposely picked on him to answer questions with just a "you know why I'm picking you". In the school hallway, she pointed at him and said "look it's the boy who brought the class average down" and a whole lot of similar stuff. On Friday after another humiliating comment was thrown at him by the teacher, James snapped and shouted back. The teacher apologised after but i don't think that this sort of behaviour is excusable with just an apology. If a student were to ridicule another student the same way that she had, they would've faced a detention at least. And the fact that she didn't think of a way to help James, she just ridiculed him is disgusting and not something a teacher should do. She never thought that maybe the student wasn't bad, It was her teaching that was the problem.
That exact teacher is my homeroom tutor. Tomorrow we get our results but she probably already knows mine and i don't even want to imagine what she'll do to me if she did that to James who got a 50. Im not in her maths class, I'm in her pcg. She keeps saying to me that i better get a 100 because i skipped the swimming carnival.

Wow, that situation sounds bonkers!!! 😮 It's truly disheartening when a teacher, who should be inspiring encouragement and hope, resorts to public embarrassment... No one deserves that, especially in such a critical learning environment!!! It's awesome that James stood up for himself, tho; gotta admire that courage!!! 👍 Hopefully, this situation sparks some reflection for the teacher... Mistakes happen, but continuous bullying ain't cool... Maybe she'll realize the importance of creating a supportive atmosphere and change her ways!!! Remember, it's all about learning and growing... You've got this, keep your chin up and stay focused!!! 💪 Don't let this experience drag ya down... We learn from the rough patches!!! 😊 Good luck with your results!!!
