I had some similar experiences, and yes, there are some horrible teachers (and other people who work with kids) out there who seem to thrive on ostracizing and humiliating children. My theory is that these types of people are not accepted in adult society and/or have control freak personalities (typically both), and go back to school to bully kids because they're easier targets than adults and are the only people that will ever take them somewhat seriously or are so easily controllable. These people tend to be extremely emotionally immature as well.
Unfortunately, kids often see the adult authority figures as being all-knowing and always right, so they never question the way they are treated and this is hugely appealing to these predators (that is what I consider them, since they prey on children's naivety in order to feel like big shots). It is so easy for the bullshit these people do to damage children's confidence and self esteem for years, and I find it absolutely infuriating that more isn't done to eliminate these pathetic low life zeros from school districts or really any career involving children.
Now that we're adults and we know what kind of people these are and that they were astronomically wrong about us, it's best to throw away all of the toxic garbage they filled our heads with, though that's definitely much easier said than done. They are nobodies who were never able to make their way in the world and tried to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are because of it. Typical losers who wollow in self pity and point the blame for their lack of personal success at everyone else. Don't allow them the power to influence how you feel about yourself!
It absolutely is not okay, and we as a society should refuse to tolerate such BS in our schools. It made me sick that the handful of psycho teachers I had taught in the same schools for decades, and when one was finally forced to resign after multiple complaints from parents, the school rephrased it as a "retirement" and put her picture and a note thanking her for her "dedication to her students" for 28 years. 🤮 She didn't deserve recognition for squat and sure as shit was not "dedicated to her students"!
