My third grade teacher used to hit kids with rulers. I wrote about how miserable I was in Taiwan once in a diary she forced us to write in every day, because I was. It was too hot, and kids would bully me sometimes. She called me in after class, and yelled at me. YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE. YOU ARE NO LONGER AN AMERICAN, YOU ARE NOW TAIWANESE. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS EVER AGAIN. NO, DON'T YOU DARE START CRYING. YOU WILL SUCK IT UP, GO WASH YOUR FACE IN THE SINK UNTIL YOU ARE PRESENTABLE, THEN YOU WILL GO HOME. Of course, her lovely classroom lectures of telling the whole class that we were worthless, like dogs. IF YOU DO
