Wow. That sounds utterly horrid. It's pretty unfair when a child is subjected to such cruel behavior, especially by someone who should actually be... I don't know... protecting the child. While I never had any experience quite that extrme, my kindergarten teacher used to berate me in front of the entire class and tell me I would be a failure in life. Ah... 'fun' times. And let's not even discuss 6th grade. Ugh...
I'm really sorry you had to go through something like that. It's just mindboggling. I'm also sorry your mother took her side. The only positive thing I can say about any horrid teachers I had (and I was, all in all, fairly lucky in that regard) was that my mother actually always supported me (she had really horrible teachers when she was growing up and automatically assumed that it was the teachers who were lying, not me, which was nice because I wasn't).
I sometimes wonder why some bullies... er, I mean teachers... are allowed to work with kids. At least the class supported you that one time (at least against Mrs. Tish). But still, you should never have had to have gone through that.
