Ok, if your ready to get in trouble, then you can do this. The next time she tries to make everyone laugh at you about a mistake you make, ask her, "Ms. whateverhernameis, why do you only read my mistakes when I know there are others in the class who have made either the same mistakes, or possibly worse ones?" So then she'll either be stuck, or she'll say your mistakes were the worse, in which case you say..."Are you implying I'm the worst student in class because I always seem to have the worst mistakes...and if so then why do I have better grades then some of the other people in the class?" Only ask this if your ready to maybe be punished, and if your ready to argue. Don't get to mad, and make sure you have a good explanation to tell your counselor or deen if you get sent to the office. I would bet if you told someone of authority they would ignore it and say you were overreacting. Besides, we're just teenagers, what do we know? Good luck!!!

There is NO reason that a teacher should humiliate a student by reading incorrect answers to the class. Tell your parents what is happening and schedule a meeting with your parents, you, the teacher and the principal. Come to the meeting prepared with a list of the things she's done that are inappropriate, including dates, times and witnesses. She will be humiliated and the principal will reprimand her. This is WAY more damaging than doing some childish prank.

Take this through the appropriate channels. Talk to your guidance counselor, your parents, the principal.
Oh and by the way, physical appearence is importance when presenting yourself in a speech. Look at the results of the Nixon/ Kennedy debates.

Hmm... this sounds much like a one-sided view of the situation. I'm not saying that she didn't do it, but I am willing to bet that you are giving a very biased report. "Getting back" at a teacher is a juvenile response to your problem. Why don't you try talking to HER first, and if things don't improve, you should speak to the principal.

If indeed you are accurate in your description of what's happening to you, you need to address the problem to the school administration. If that is not helpful, then (I'm assuming you are in high school) you need to get your parents/gaurdians involved. You needed to transfer out of this class long ago. Getting back at your teacher isn't going to solve anything and it will only lower you to her level.

I don't know if you can do anything to get back at her, but you can definitely go to the higher level authorities in the school (i.e. the administration). There's no reason why you should feel uncomfortable in school like that.
Don't take it in your own hands; I don't recommend it. Go to the administrators if it makes you feel that uncomfortable.
Good luck!

From a teacher's point of view.....you must have a seriously big attitude..or reputation of being a certain way. Fix yourself and grow up.

So instead of improving yourself (since stand up straigher and fix your hair ARE valid criticisms for public speaking), you choose to attack your teacher.
You are an idiot and a failure. Your entire life will be nothing but misery, since your narcisstic victimology will prevent you from ever improving. You will never have any close friends, and the only people who will even be able to stand being near you, will be equally as self-destuctive and hateful.
You want to get back at her? STOP doing stuff wrong.
Seriously - you're an idiot. Get help.
Read "How To Win Friends And Influence People" - except you won't, because you are scared to death of having a close friend, because that would mean self0-inspection. And obviously YOU have no flaws.

Possibly write something that backfire and embarrass her. Turning her over to the principal, these days, fail to do anything.
Maybe she feels you're not showing your potentials in your work.
She still has issues, none the less.
