There is always a downside to complaining to your teachers.

First of all, chances are your teacher is more stressed than you are as a high school student. If the primary source of your stress is preparing for the math test you have that week, try figuring out how to make a living on a paltry salary. 

Unfortunately, most high school students are not yet able to step outside of their shoes and consider the experiences of others. In my high school, there was a similar person who almost gained her entire reputation on her knack for complaining. No matter how much homework you had that week, this kid had a more difficult workload no matter what. It's as if she thought it was an attractive quality to be the most stressed person in the room, when in reality, it was anything but that. In fact, it only made people not want to be around her. 

This personality trait, of course, can translate beyond high school too. No one likes that one coworker who acts like they have more on their plate than everyone else, especially when you know for a fact that this isn't the case.

Well, like so many of us, this teacher had had enough of her student's complaining and decided to get even… in front of the whole class.

    I'm walking up to the high school with my ear buds, mentally prepping myself for my day. I have ADHD so my memory is not great and I mostly function because I write things down. I have a

    The school has an online portal where I plan out the progression each semester.)

    Grades are almost closed for the term and the rule at my school is you need at least three grades per class.

    It's fine it's not that many but I have 8 classes, over 200 students so it's actually kind of overwhelming. Especially

    bc some of my class sizes are too big to manage really. Like 36 kids in a 55 min class and so many of them don't come prepared, don't

    listen, just chat. Cheat on tests etc. So the classes where I spend more time "policing" than teaching, I'm low on grades for.

    Ok so I'm rolling up and one of the students outside walks up to me like "oh Madame, how can you give us a quiz with such little notice, it's not fair duh duh duh."

    No "can I have a min?" No "how are you?" Just direct launch into tirade.

    Now I have no idea what he's talking about. But it is not only my right to give a small quiz with very little heads up, as it is to do pop quizzes for classes who don't work in class.

    So I defend myself, like, "This is my right as a teacher. As long as you studied you'll be fine."

    But I'm wondering, "wait wtf was he talking about" So I go to their class's notebook and ohh yes. I did announce a quiz for then a few days ago on like 10 vocabulary words.

    Cool bro, thanks for reminding me. I had 100% forgotten.

    But I didn't care for the accosting manner in which he did it. So instead of punishing him, when I gave the quiz to the class, I simply said,
