I'm always amazed that in "Literature", we read stories like, "The Count of Monte Cristo" and relished in how "justice" was finally - is always - served. To treat your innocent children - or an unproven guilty child - as "guilt" simply etches your memories into our "hated" sections of our brains. You can often escape punishment, but you'll always be remembered - with disastrous results!

I'll just say - for those teachers who do this thing - that it took me 12 years to get even with my 5th grade teacher. I was expelled for something I didn't do - that I'm positive my teacher KNEW I didn't do it because I was with him most of the time, but he blamed me for something that happened when he was absent for 10 minutes. His reasoning was that "I was the only one who was close enough to him to know his schedule and do the crime". He was my favorite "mentor", but his logic so blind-sided me that he want from "father-figure" to "I'll hate you for the rest of my life!". Anyway, when I was 23, I looked him up, found him, studied him, then wrote emails accusing him of similar actions he accused me of - with no witnesses or evidence - but to his wife. He kept replying to me, "Who ARE you?" but I'd just reply with another fact he didn't know I knew.

Praise the teachers who matter. Fuck the teachers who actually damage children. In fact, fuck them to death!!!!
