["said things like "I would throw you out of the class for this, even if you were first year."And all the class has to hear it.

College teachers can be condescending and disgusting."]

They can also be sued Lady. Kids in Australia have sued their school teachers for humilliating them in front of the school or class; and they've won considerable amounts of money for their ensuing mental illness. One in particular was bullied by other kids because the teacher picked on him so badly.

He became so humilliated he felt he could never work and became a prisoner in his home. He is now in his 30's and still has never worked. He has retreated so badly he had to be sedated to attend court.

Write a formal letter to the HR dept outlining the treatment you received and the manner in which you were belittled and humiliated.in front of the class. Let them know that you are not there to be humilliated you are there to learn. And if they are not capable of teaching without abuse, they should rethink their position.

Some teachers (though they love the word lecturure) need to realise that they are not better than others, they do NOT have the right to abuse mentally, emotionally or in any other way. Don't let it pass because you will forever hang on to the humilliation. All you need to do is stand up for yourself and let them know that they don't have the right to treat you that way. And if they think that they will have to compensate you out of their own pocket, that will shut them up.

And you need to tell them that if you are failed in any grade, you will consider that a run off from this bullying you have had to put up with, and you will take the matter further.

I loathe injustice Lady, so if you need help writing a letter I'm here to help,
