That's what I had to deal with from the thugs who were given carte blanche by my math teacher to torment me.

Don't get me started about bullying! I still have nightmares of how my 8th grade math teacher tortured me every day I was in his class and he encouraged classmates to beat me. Nobody came to help me. I was told by other teachers and the principal's staff to take it like a man and grow up. I know precisely how those Columbine kids felt!

I hated every day I was in school, there was no difference between school and Auschwitz.

Years later, that same asshole teacher still went after me. Finally, when my mother died and he started his shtick at the funeral home, I had enough, I yelled a bunch of obscenities at that rat bastard at the top of my lungs. I let that motherfucker have it with both barrels. I didn't care if my family was there. I wasn't going to take any more.

That thing left me with a lifetime hatred of public schools. Every time I go into the voting booth and see ballot initiatives for school bonds, I get terrible flashbacks of all the torture. And I vote NO whenever I see anything involving schools on the ballot.
