Parents of Reddit, what's the most bizarre/awkward situation you've ever experienced at a parent teacher conference?

Not the parent, but I was the child, but I swear to god this is my time to shine.

In 7th grade I had an Asian male teacher in his 40's. Westernized enough to have perfect English but also close enough to his roots to understand Asian tiger parenting. My was a tiger mom and I was your typical Asian student, but also the class clown and quite the attention seeker.

My mom decided I had been slacking too much in class and that I needed to pay more attention. She was using very violent hand gestures and just going on about how terrible and disruptive I was (I may have been a bit talkative but I had good grade like legit A's). My teacher was not only agreeing with her but also could animated about it as well.

Then something absolutely terrible happened. My mother knows English well enough to communicate but sometimes.... Well let me just say she yelled out that I needed to be spanked. Spanked as much as possible, whatever discipline was needed in order for me to be perfect. I could not believe what I heard from my mom and I nervously looked over at my teacher.

He AGREED with her. I was so shocked I Couldn't believe this was happening. He started doing really violent hand gestures and slapping his hands and saying over and over he would give me a spanking if I was bad.

Bros... I'm a girl and I fully knew the other things that spanking entailed that my oblivious mother did not. I was beat red, ashamed and felt the most embarressment I ever felt. I could not believe my teacher could agreed with her.

Well, he never did "spank" me guys, but a couple times he pulled me outside into the hallway when I was being too disruptive and kept threatening to spank me. Jesus how many times I had to hear him say that... the vein in his forehead bulging and spit flying... burned into my brain. I swear it scarred me for life. I don't think I could ever forget.
