Mr. Plumber was my sixth grade math teacher, and I made the mistake of correcting him in class. He continued to call my best friend Shelly by the wrong name, so I told him that he was mistaken about her name. He screamed at me and told me to never correct him again. Then, he moved me from advanced math to a lower class and would say things like, “That is good for you.” I completely lost my confidence in math and dreaded his class because I was afraid of him. Fortunately, my junior high math teachers recognized that I had ability and patched many of the wounds he left.
