130. Somewhere in one's school life you encounter that one teacher who will forever leave a bad taste in your mouth. You first thought she was an ordinary teacher until she's determined to make a bad example out of you. You remember her yet? Yes, that one. There's was nothing special about her at first. Just a typical middle aged teacher who taught boring subjects, laughed at her own jokes and liked revisiting her past. You're a hard student not to notice because you're so talkative in class so I guess that's why she picked you out of everyone. The day after an essay test she asked to speak to you alone in her office. When you had return to class you had a glower that could have melted metal. When I asked what it was that you two talked about you told me that she asked you to first write your name to get a look at your handwriting. You're a perceptive one and you automatically realized that she was trying to pin you for cheating so you asked 'what kind of handwriting would you like? I have many forms depending on my mood. It could slant this way or scripted or in print or other lazier ways.' I was surprised. How could you have cheated since the test was an essay and the proctor never left the room and the papers were passed quickly to the front, I thought. The teacher calmly said 'Oh so that's it. I hope you're being honest or else I had to report you. I'm sorry to have doubted you. Because I was busy, I let my husband check some of my test papers and he was convinced you let someone else answer your test because of your strange handwriting. Do improve it next time alright?' First she tries to trap you for cheating and then she blames your handwriting. And I thought it was quite unprofessional to let one's husband check her test papers. You were angry and I was thoroughly disturbed. Thank God that that didn't lead to something even more serious because she would have definitely lost in a court case. What kind of teacher tries to trap an innocent student for cheating, I wonder. A faultfinder usually has the most faults. It was quite suspicious that she acted more friendly toward you after that incident than the other students, no doubt trying to reassure herself that she didn't just let a real cheater go. She was no doubt the most annoying teacher you had so thank goodness that our classes with her were over and done with and it's all in the past.
