"Ms Lee -

I cannot begin to explain how upset I am with you right now. I have lost a lot of respect for you since Friday.

One. This is an issue that isn't going to be resolved, but the fact remains that I did not push any chair violently into any desk. Furthermore, your punishment was unfair, because I was not aware I had done anything. To say that this will encourage me to pay more attention is weak justification.

Second, I do not appreciate being uninformed and furthermore, having the class be informed of something clearly not their business. You took advantage of the fact that I was stuck in traffic and did not allow me to defend myself. I do not appreciate having to find out from someone else because of traffic on Devon and Caldwell.

I not only disagree with your punishment, but also with the way you handled it. I treat my teachers with a level of mutual respect. I don't know whether you're trying to exert authority or what, but any mutual respect taht ever, EVER existed between us is quickly disappearing. I feel you are bullying me and at this moment, I strongly dislike what you are doing.

P.S. I only had good intentions when I returned to push in chairs. I'm very upset that what I intended as a good deed was misconstrued as a "hissyfit".
