These are the words of a teacher with me as a student:
she was telling me to "pull up your socks" - meaning to work faster;
she was saying things like "the other students are wondering why you
are not finished yet" (there were no other students around);
and she kept telling me the time - it seemed like every 10 minutes.
I am wondering about how these were intended - to make me feel -
were these said to make me feel inadequate? or to be intimidated?
-- these remarks were unwanted, annoying, insulting, etc.
What could have been the reason for these remarks?
