My 3 rd grade teacher was Mrs . Trudeau . She was an old lady and old school . She firmly believed in the practice of if one kid gets in trouble , punish the entire class for it . And damn the luck , we had David M . as one of our classmates . David , was the delinquent in our grade . This damn jackass couldn ' t go a day without getting in trouble . If something went missing , David stole it . If we had a test , he was probably cheating on it . And because of this fucktard , we almost always had recess taken away from us . Because of David we didn ' t get to dress up for Halloween in class once upon a time that was a thing . Basically any fun school activity we could have had was taken away by Mrs . Trudeau in attempt to get this one kid to behave . I ' m not sure if Mrs . Trudeau ' s method of punishment was meant to put pressure on him to behave , but it never worked . Only thing it accomplished was built up more peer resentment towards him , and made innocent kids miserable . I ' m not blaming Mrs . Trudeau for making David the asshole that every kid in the school hated , as he was already the bad kid back in 1 st grade , but I don ' t think she did him any favors .
