Ejikatin'

We hope for a Utopian education system with kind, supportive and understanding teachers. Teachers who will guide children to some psychologically unblemished intellectual Nirvana. In reality, we do have some psychotic sadists out there who seem to take pleasure in making students miserable, tarnishing young minds with their special brand of insanity; filling days with humiliation and embarrassment; supplying traumatic memories that we get to revisit, over and over in our darkest nightmares.

But is this a bad thing? Once we reach adulthood, one of the greatest pleasures we have is to share tales of hideous school days with our friends and cohorts -- laughing at the ridiculousness of our lives!

Here's to you awful teachers! I salute you (as, I assume, you eternally rot in the lowest dungeon of hades...)!!
