Teacher's Pet?

I remember a story of a 4th grader let's just call him Chino to protect his identity. Chino attended an exclusive private school in his city but unbeknownst to his parents he was a loner at school. The exact opposite of the mischevous and rambunctious kid that he was at home. His school practiced very strict discipline where teachers would verbally and physcially abuse the students and get away with it. Back then there was no such thing as political correctness or child abuse laws. Chino had a very impecable math teacher who we would call Miss D., she was brilliant and posessed such an awesome knowledge in math. But there was a dark side to Miss D. she like many of the other teachers in that school would punish her students through physical abuse such as spanking the children with a ruler on their palms, putting pens in between their fingers and squeezing them until the child cries in pain, in the case of male kids she would pull their sideburns until she sees the pain in their faces. Such brutality, such viciousness, many of the students choose instead to rebel against these vicious teachers such as Miss D. by retaliating the best they could in the most creative fashion without the teachers knowledge of who the culprit of such acts is. But not Chino, he was every bit a follower of the rules of the school he feared the thought of becoming a rulebreaker. Because he was a loner and a victim of the abuse commited by Miss D and the other teachers he kept his emotions to himself without having anyone to talk to or have a catharsis with a friend. He certainly kept this horrible experience to himself and what ended up happening was that he eventually suffered from a "nervous breakdown" at age 10. This would affect him until his adult years. What happened to Miss D? well soon after Chino landed in the hospital he eventually divulged to his parents what was going on in school and his mom brought the attention to the headmaster and eventually pulled Chino out of that school. Miss D, only got so much as a repremand from school authorities but was allowed to continue teaching long after Chino left the school. I doubt if Miss D. even realized the kind of damage she has caused in the lives of many of the students aside from Chino's. Just because one can posses the gift to teach the right things in life but does not posses the right behavior does not make it rational at all. Teaching the right doctrine is important but having the right behavior is as equally important...and that is the bottom line!
