The humiliation would be along the lines of things like this:  One day a girl's Mother had a talk with one of the vice principals and that teacher.  The following day, in class the teacher told the class about the talk, with talk like this, "Oh da poor widdle bebe needed her mummy to talk wid the big bwad techer.  Oh poor widdle bebe here you need you pacifier?  need your dipers cwanged?"  with most of the class laughing at the poor girl.  Word spread, and the poor young lady would get teased buy those students and by others who heard about it from those students.

When word got to the young lady's parents, they became angry and complained.  That complaint only lead to more talk like that by the teacher, which added to the teasing.  Other teachers who did not want to anger that teacher because of the union, then started to lower the grade they gave that young lady.

I heard what happened to that young lady a few weeks after the teasing started.  During gym class while showering, someone threw a towel over her head and several others grabed her to carried her out of the school yard and locked the gate.  She had to walk around the campus to the front of the school and enter through the main doors, cross through the most populated part of the school, while we were changing classes.  She had to go back to the gym to get her clothes, (she was naked) where she found them torn into rags.

Had I seen her in that condition, I would have tried to help her save some of her dignity.  But as it was, no one who witnessed her condition, (students and faculty alike) did anything to help her, infact they added to her humiliation.  Next day she was no longer attending the school.  I would assume that her parents removed her, but that teacher gloated about her being expelled for being insane.

The teacher played the game of being every student's friend, until the student would cross her.  Most students believed that, so many did whatever she demanded of them and refused to be a witness against her.

In my case, a similar ploy was tried against me as what was done to that young lady; however, my siutation made it a little more difficult for her method.  Why?  I was already being teased and I had experience in outsmart such attempts by bullies.  I would have requested a transfer from her class, if it were not that she was the only teacher for college prep for that subject.  Had I transfered out of her class, I would have lost the ability to attend college after high school.

I survived for that year, by keeping my head down avoiding or countering her attacks or attack by her students minion.  She did almost ruing my academic future by giving me a grade of D with a recomendation that I rejected from any additional college prep classes.  However, our state used to have us take standard statewide tests to determine our academic abilities and work level.  The test was scored by work quality grade level and months in the grade.  I was in jr. high and my state test scores for the subject of her class was 13/1.  13/1 means that I was working in her subject at the level a first year college student during his first month.  Perhaps I was working higher than that, 13/1 was the highest score that the test supported.

For years after that whenever my academic record was examined I had to counter that D with the 13/1.
