Teacher Humiliates Whole Class For Months Until Student Secretly Records Her

• A middle school teacher pretended to be friendly to her students before revealing her true self. She humiliated the kids over small things.
• One day, the principal permitted one of the students to record her secretly so he could find out how mean she was.
• The student soon shared the recording with the principal.

A man with the username "acruzm96" shared an incident from middle school when his class got a new Spanish teacher. The Redditor opened up about the incident in the "EscalatingRevenge" subreddit, where he shared what he did after the teacher humiliated him and his classmates.

Before recalling what happened, the man revealed that his teacher was from Colombia, and she hid her true personality while pretending to be happy during the first few days of school. The children only saw her real face a few months later.

The Redditor described his teacher as a "nightmare," stating that all his classmates hated her because of how badly she used to treat them after her "happy mask" gradually faded. He shared an example of what she used to do in class.

"When we would read books and look for the meanings behind them, she would ask for what we thought the meaning could be," the Redditor recalled, adding that the teacher would insult those students who didn't respond with what she wanted to hear.

The woman used to humiliate her students using Spanish words, and none of the children liked her. Little did the woman know that one of the students would soon record her words and report her demeaning behavior to the principal.

One day, the Redditor was in class with his classmates when their Spanish teacher entered and asked them to read some chapters from their books and write an essay on them. Like other kids, the Redditor began writing, unaware that things would soon take an unexpected turn.

Hoping that the teacher would like his essay, he showed it to her after finishing it but received an unexpected response from her. Instead of praising him or calmly correcting his mistakes, she humiliated him in front of everyone. He recalled:

"[She] told me right to my face that it was garbage and I should be ashamed of myself."

The incident made him feel angry and resentful of his teacher, but he didn't do anything about it until the students were asked to fill out teacher evaluation forms. Seizing the opportunity to report her mean behavior, the Redditor gave her the worst rating in all aspects.

When the principal checked the forms, he called the Redditor into his office after reading his evaluation. He wanted to find out what made the student give such a bad rating to the new Spanish teacher.

What Did the Student Tell the Principal?

After entering the principal's office, the student told him how the Spanish teacher humiliated everyone, cursed them, and called them names. After learning what was happening in the classroom, the principal allowed the student to use a tape recorder during her lessons.

The principal said the teacher would be fired if she humiliated students during class. Feeling hopeful, the student hid a tape recorder in his bag and started recording during Spanish lessons.

"Sure enough, a few weeks later, she decided to lash out at a classmate when he forgot to bring his homework," the Redditor recalled, stating that the teacher told the student he was "good for nothing" while the tape recorder was turned on.

Feeling happy that he had finally recorded something useful, the Redditor headed straight to the principal's office after class and played the recording in his office. He knew it was time to say goodbye to his Spanish teacher.

What Happened after the Principal Heard the Recording?

The principal welcomed the Redditor and gave him a cookie to eat while they listened to the recording together. Then, the principal asked how the students would react if a new Spanish teacher were appointed mid-term.

The Redditor immediately told the principal that the students would feel "no longer stressed." At that point, the principal picked up the phone and spoke to a few people before the Redditor left his room.

"I suppose they held a conference later," the Redditor said. He recalled they got a substitute teacher before a new Spanish teacher was appointed. He said the new teacher was great and was nothing like the old one.

The Redditor only told his parents about the incident once the old teacher was fired. They felt proud that the principal trusted their child with recording evidence but felt the students should have filed a complaint against the teacher.
