Two. A student teacher in 5th grade and my 8th grade English teacher. I was smart but shy. They made the assumption that I was snotty instead of shy and treated me like that.
The first day I met her I said, “Oh, we had a student teacher when I was at my last school!” Then I walked away because I didn’t know what else to say and got embarrassed. She told our regular teacher that I was pompous and arrogant, who then passed it along to me. I made it all the way home, off the bus, and into my own yard before I started bawling. It was the one and only time my mother ever called the school on my behalf.
The 8th grade teacher was pregnant and “warned” the long-term sub about me before she left on maternity leave. The sub announced this to the class one day when she called on me. I don’t remember the specifics other than half of the class sitting there with their jaws on the floor and me feeling like I wanted to crawl under my desk.
