Yeah, I had a similar issue in 2nd grade. Teacher was abusive. Parents sent me to another school for the rest of the year. I returned the following year and didn't really have that sort of problem again. The teacher in question continued bullying, and eventually switched to teaching special education, which just chills me to the bone. This was late 70s. Really bizarre. Anyway, glad things improved for you. One thing I learned from this is that parents are often a terrible judge of the situation, often don't believe their own children when they say something is wrong, and often are afraid to do their damn job and protect their child from harm. In my opinion, they should have sued the school or at least made a much bigger stink about it and gotten other parents involved (as I wasn't the only one being bullied by the teacher), but they didn't. C'est la vie.
