It would be bad enough for a high school sports coach to call someone a pussy, although it would be par for the course for such muscle-brained Neanderthals. It's shocking that a teacher would use that sort of language in a classroom when speaking to a five year-old.
I'd like to believe that things are better these days, but that's probably unrealistic. Teachers are people, and lots of people with paper qualifications and good interview techniques are dimwitted sadists. And kids haven't changed: there will always be children who are cruel to other kids because they're treated badly at home, because they know deep down that they don't fit neatly into the accepted norms and overcompensate, because they're frantically trying to fit in with whatever the cool crowd is doing, and because they lack empathy, are emotionally immature and basically stupid.
School is sheer hell for lots of kids. It's good that you've found the emotional strength to move on to a better place.
Why do straight guys fear being gay so much?
