Nothing makes high school more of a miserable experience than a terrible teacher. We all had that one class that we dreaded walking into because we knew they’d be there. This former student was berated and bullied by his algebra teacher throughout his senior year, but decided to put an end to it, and is now sharing his incredible story of revenge almost 16 years later.

The Reddit user (Johnny_Provolone) who posted the cautionary tale was only 18 when it all happened, and went on to graduate with the class of 2001. He is now 34 and is studying diesel mechanics. His post has gone viral on Reddit’s ProRevenge thread, garnering a whopping 26.8 thousand upvotes.

Read the entire story to the end below, and share your own revenge experience in the comments.

    I guess he wasn't quite as 'dumb' or 'slow' as Mrs. Frank thought, was he?

    I went to school in Detroit Michigan and in the second grade i had a teacher who threw erasers at kids in my class and she hit the wall with one of those pointers used for maps. One little boy wanted to go to the bathroom but she did not let him. Later we found out that he went home with wet pants in the dead of winter...this was second grade!!! I was really scarred of her. I begged my mom not to make me go to school one day so she went to the principle. The principle called the teacher down to here office and as the story goes I hid behind the principles skirt. She wasn't there the next year but the damage was done to us kids. If teachers are hateful they need to resign because they hate their jobs.

    My grandma had a similar experience, but she peed on the floor. The janitor yelled at the teacher when he came and cleaned the mess. I wouldn't have the nerve in grade school, but in HS if I was denied permission I would just stand up and leave the room.

    What I like about it is that it immediately feels like justice. What I do not like about it is the stressing of the revenge aspect in it. If we would make everyday a strive for justice but never seek revenge, the world would be a better place.

    It's not "revenge" for the teacher to be fired and blackballed from the profession. She never should have been within hailing distance of any student, anywhere, ever. I've run into teachers like her before, both as a student and as a teacher. What they do is child abuse and it can have lifelong effects.

    Dude. If you are reading this - thank you. I left school after defending a student a teacher was doing this kind of thing to, and gave up on high school and later got a GED instead because unlike you it was only the words of students to the administrator against a teacher. My life might have been different if we did what you did. Thank you for being brave and standing up.

    I never understood teachers who don't want to teach. You can get better paying jobs doing something you don't want to do and most of those don't require you to deal with children or teenagers.

    You're right. I might be able to get my head around it if the job paid well, but teacher's pay sucks. Then again, with her attitude, I'm guessing that teaching would be hitting the jackpot for her.

    I did something similar to my English teacher in school. She had the wonderful habit of acting like a b***h (same as the one above) but not because the students didn't know the answer, but because some students knew more English than she did (I'm not s******g you) and refused to go at her for tutoring (which included being told all the test subjects and answers). one day i got so fed up with getting another C that i went home, told my folks and asked them to call the educational inspector (we were acquaintances) to drop by for a visit and test all of her students. Of course, when my folks went to the principal and let her know of their plans, suddenly all the school was in an uproar. They all knew that the straight A's at her subject couldn't even pass the easiest test and had those grades because they went at her for tutoring (paid ofc). 10 minutes later, she was crying, my grades reflected my knowledge and the principal was panicked as f**k and apologising. That is called justice.

    When I was in Grade 6, I was reading at a 2nd year university level. It's just a thing. We were allowed to bring our own books to free reading periods, so I brought the latest trashy novel was reading...and the teacher went ballistic and took my book away. It was "Return of the King", and I was 2/3 finished it. She said I "couldn't possibly understand it." The teacher called my mother who said nothing and then asked how far along in the book I was and then pointed out that if I didn't understand it, I would have stopped in the first book. Bravo Mom, but it made me a target for the rest of the school year.

    He should be proud of himself. Who knows how many future students he saved from this woman. She had no business being a teacher.

    After being treated badly by a few teachers I pretty much gave up. It would never have occurred to me to go to my parents. Consequently I never raised my hand and had no mentor type teacher in school. It was only when I saw my own sons being bullied by teachers that I got pissed and stood up for them. I now tell new parents when their kids start school to believe in their kids not the teachers who are after all human and can be just as awful as everyone else.

    I once had a teacher who put my desk in the coat closet. My offense was being flaky about getting my homework turned it. Before she put my desk in the closet, she had a habit of saying nasty things about me in front of the class. I was only in third grade and really didn't think to do anything about it, but now I feel kind of guilty for not having done something about it. Think of all the kids that woman screwed up. It turns my stomach.

    Either way she should be bothered. You don't do that to a child, teenager, or adult. You just don't. I'm sorry you had to go thru that. Hope karma bites her in the a*s.

    it's sad how people could be this cruel. for her to belittle a person just for asking a question is sickening. hope that b**ch choked on her ruthless words. like he said this happened over 15 years ago people can change within 15 years, but what she said to him was unacceptable and she will be punished for it. but thank god he made it through that tough time in his life and i applaude him for that.

    God has nothing to do with him making it. He made it through because he took action and the authorities did their job appropriately.
