That teacher deserved what he got.

You unjustifiably put me in handcuffs and one way or another I'm gettin' your badge!
This is perhaps a weird observation, but I kinda view such a gesture as near he equivalent of touching you inappropriately. Not an actual molestation, but sorta like when you go to the pediatrician for your first physical and you don't know what's coming. Mine sucked really bad and freaked the hell outta me and bothered me for several years (not horribly, just enough to be frustrating) because it wasn't my regular doctor and on top of that I didn't know he was gonna squeeze me. Didn't understand for several years what he was checking for, and maybe at that age it's for something different I still don't know of.
Anyway, back to what I was talking about with cops. I think you'd feel extremely violated during and feel that discomfort long after it's over. Of being made to feel you've done something wrong.
I got pulled over a few years ago in a small town at about 3 in the morning and then for what felt like forever these 2 cops looked for all these opportunities to potentially bust me. They frisked me, searched the car, then one of them goes "You sure you don't have anything in your pockets." and decided to search me again, and then STILL wouldn't let me put my hands in my pockets. It was late October and I was wearing shorts, I was chilly. Dickhead! When I'd go to put 'em in there, partially outta nervousness as well as just to have a place to put them, he'd grab my arm and have me pull them back out. This ass hole even asked to see my phone, I'm guessing to check the phone numbers. They were asking if I was there to score drugs, like I couldn't get them a little closer to home and in a REAL city.
When we were close to the end of the oversteppings, he then proceeded to tell me, in relation to my hands, "You do that to a Kansas City cop, they'll take you down." To me that comes across as a borderline threat.
I so badly wanted to respond with "A real cop wouldn't have pulled me over." All I'd done was change lanes on what I thought was a divided 4-lane highway, but that section was apparently only 2 lanes. I explained this to these guys but they just couldn't let it go. That was the first thing I told them, and then they proceeded with all that other stuff. And still at the end, the one who'd pulled me over was still stuck on 'You were weaving pretty bad back there.' His lack of reasoning for pulling me over and contributing to me experiencing what I had to go through last night almost makes me more upset with him than the other one who was doing everything.
My respect for police in bigger cities escalated that night. They don't pull you over for being out past Mayberry's curfew! And the only reason I'd even pulled into the left lane was because that cop was on the side of the road on one of those streets that enter the highway diagonally, and because it was dark I decided to give him space in case that had actually just been a shoulder that I couldn't see very well and since I didn't know the area.
Sorry for the long story, that situation just PISSED. ME. OFF! I was never placed in handcuffs, just saying that if I felt harrassed and that uncomfortable just from being pulled over and pestered and searched for a half hour, I feel bad for anyone who's ever been placed in the chains of shame for nothing. My guess is it'd give you a feeling that never really goes away. -

To ask why he didn't do the homework, or if he wasn't able to focus in class because of what had happened to his father? It's like the teacher didn't consider that the reason he was struggling in there had something to do with losing his dad (as opposed to just showing off or whatever) so saying it the way he did was like the worst kind of low blow! He's gotta be an idiot to not see that the two are linked.
