Nah, the other staff tended to side with her. I got onto her shitlist for unrelated reasons, and the counselor told me she was middle-of-the-road as far as English teachers went--some were more strict, and some were less. I don't even want to think about what a more strict teacher would have been like.

(For reference, we had two teachers who actually got fired. One hid a video camera in the ceiling of the girls' bathroom. The other was declared negligent after an accident with the climbing wall left a student permanently crippled.)

D: OMG where did you go to school? HELL?

My local public high school is legendarily bad, so I got special permission to go to a school in another town, which was supposed to be one of the best public schools in the state. Turns out it's ranked as such because of its high test scores, and it has such high test scores because they really put your nose to the grindstone to make sure you're ready for the tests. A bit of teacher-on-student bullying is par for the course in such an environment--if you complain, it's because you're a wimp.

(It might be worth noting that while most of the faculty is white, almost half the students are Chinese-American, mostly second-generation immigrants. I don't mean to stereotype, but it was definitely a different academic environment than when I was surrounded by people whose parents and grandparents were born in the U.S.)

aaaand this is why ranking schools solely on standardized test scores is REALLY STUPID.
