Is it normal to still be bitter about my kindergarten teacher?

I despise those sort of teachers.

I got my revenge though when one of them came into my dental office though for a root canal. I made sure to make it as slow as possible and used no anaesthetic, I almost had an orgasm.

Some teachers are assholes and abuse their power. The teacher was obviously trying to make some kind of point but shaming a victim is just plain stupid and shaming children in general does not really ever help anyone.

A lot of teachers do this shit though. You are not the only one. When I was in 10th grade we had a very mean teacher who would quickly read instructions off a list. If you were not fast enough she would not repeat it without asking something like "What is wrong with you? Are you stupid". So none of us ever asked for help we just followed the one very helpful student was basically the same level as a professional secretary.

I was never good at formatting papers on word even when I could format a written essay decently enough to pass class on ACTUAL PAPER. So she use to get the TA(Teachers assistant) to mock me and other students who were lost and not doing anything since we did not understand the instructions or we missed a step. It got so bad at one point the entire class got angry and asked if I was okay. Which was shocking since no one in class liked me. If you can make an entire class pity someone they dont really care for you are clearly the biggest asshole on the planet.

It seemed an interesting post, but it is just way too long to read.

Hey, you've made me think of Miss Mafi. Miss Mafi was a bitch.
She wouldn't listen to me and accuse of whatever she felt like the truth was to the other teacher.

I think you shouldn't keep your frustration to yourself. You should write to her and tell her she was the worst, or write that on her facebook wall...
But do it in a really smart way. I mean really mature and passive agressive, so that no one can tell you are being mean. On the contrary, do it as a really thoughtful constructive criticism... which it actually is: she NEEDS to learn.

I was really quiet too as a kid, and in preschool I remember another girl falling on the slide, and since I was in front of the slide waiting my turn, and the teacher's back was conveniently turned; she thought that I pushed her when the girl was 1.2 times bigger than me. Being painfully embarrassed I just nodded and then sat in front of her for the rest of recess in time out...

I had a teacher in kindergarten who shamed a group of us up in front of the class. Yes, we did the wrong thing, but shaming children is not acceptable. Your story is even worse, as you were publically shamed for something that wasn't even your fault.

The anger this far on isn't healthy, though. Like others have said, therapy may help you deal with those feelings and help you grow.

I'd say put a dead rat in her mailbox with a note "you wont be forgiven" every day for a week but you might get arrested if you do that.

But I think asking her something like "how could you treat a child like that? What was going through your mind when you decided to hurt a kid like that?" the next time you see her would be good too. Give you some closure, make her (possibly) reflect on her actions. Of course you can still do this while having "moved on", it just means you want to know WHY she wanted to treat you like that. Maybe you will even discover some conspiracy, like your parents were on high faculty pay roll and she took it out on you.

I worked at this old folks home and part of my duty was to go traipsing around the dementia unit delivering food and whatnot. An attendant told me that one time she went into this lady's room and she goes 'Look I'm a dog, ruff ruff,' and proceeded to go poop on the floor. The aides were telling me that they were considering laying down some newspaper.

Neither of those incidents should've happened to anyone and I'm sorry they happened to you, but how is it helping you to hold on to the pain? I suggest Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to change the messages in your head or you could do it yourself, by working out in advance a counter message to focus on when the memories come up: for example, something as simple as "That was a long time ago, that was then and this is now, I choose not to let it affect me any more." Try that EVERY TIME for a couple of weeks and see how you go, if it's working keep doing it.

Good luck! I have a memory of a primary school teacher singling me out for a smack when it was obvious it was a group of 4 of us leaning out windows when we should've been doing something else: it bothered me for years until I tried the above technique and now I can look back and see her as being, like your moronic kinder teacher, totally unsuited to have anything to do with small children and her behaviour was nothing to do with me.

I can't really say if it's normal or not, but you sound like me. I have anger issues and am very bad about letting things go.

It's hard to shake feelings from incidents that happened at ages Two to five, even though you have worked through them in an adult way. I suppose you could mail her a dead rat. The 5 year old in you might finally be able to rest in peace.
