If you think back to when you were in school, you can probably remember a certain teacher who just seemed to be out to get you. We have all had that one teacher we truly just could not get along with, but for this particular student, things went way too far. This story comes from a thread on Reddit, and while we have no way of confirming if the events in it did occur, we are pretty sure there are others out there with similar experiences.
According to Reddit user u/Johnny_Provolone, he had a very difficult time in his senior Algebra class, thanks to his teacher. He claims that his teacher mocked and belittled him to no end, just because he was having a tougher time than the other kids in his class.

According to Reddit user u/Johnny_Provolone, he had a very difficult time in his senior Algebra class, thanks to his teacher. He claims that his teacher mocked and belittled him to no end, just because he was having a tougher time than the other kids in his class.
A terrible teacher
u/Johnny_Provolone claims that his teacher, instead of helping him, would bully him and make fun of him, calling him “slow” and belittling him in front of his entire class every time he would ask a question or not understand. He also says that he tried to go to the school administration, who would then send someone to observe the class. All that Mrs. Frank would do is act on her best behavior. This meant nobody believed him and she continued to be praised. This went on for about half a year, and Provolone had finally had enough.
This is where revenge and a plan were hatched. The Reddit user went to a local store to purchase a recorder. Bear in mind this tale is from 15 years ago, so cell phones were not what they are today. He proceeded to record all her terrible insults.
A plan
The Reddit user continued to record for the remainder of the year.
Fast forward to the end of the year and I’m sitting in Mrs. Franks class when i ask a question. Her response, and i quote (because it’s burned into my brain) was-
“I’v been teaching here for over 10 years and that was the single dumbest question i’v ever heard come from anyones mouth.”
She continued the lesson without answering. I calmly stood up, packed up my stuff, and headed to the nurses office to dismiss myself from school. (We were allowed to dismiss ourself if we were 18.)
I went home, compiled all of the brutal tapes into one glorious masterpiece, and headed back the next day to show the administrators. I sat down with the principal and we listened to a couple of the insults before he stopped me. He wanted more witnesses present as well as Mrs. Franks. He told me we would meet the next day where i could show him and the rest of the administrators the full tape.

The next morning at school was what this Reddit user describes as some of the best moments of his life.
Pay back
The Reddit user made his way to the office to play them the tape. He recalls how everyone thought it would be just another waste of time. They had no idea what they were about to listen to would cause them to be speechless.
I watched as the administrators went from fed up with being in another useless meeting, to furious and speechless with some of them keeping their mouths open for the duration of the tape. I also watched Mrs. Frank go from confident and stuck up, to her realizing that she had fucked up beyond repair.
She was publicly roasting herself in front of the most important people from the district.
The tape ended and without hesitation, the administrators looked around in astonishment and the principal turns to me and says “I think we have heard everything we need to, thank you.” And i was quietly dismissed from the room.
The final time I saw Mrs. Frank was leaving the room. I looked back and we made eye contact through her tear filled eyes as I gave the biggest most evil smile.

Surprise surprise, the teacher was gone the following week! He knew that he’d destroyed her career but that says he doesn’t care, it was not fair for what she did to him. He also doubts she was able to get another job as the story spread like wildfire.
What are your thoughts? Do you think user u/Johnny_Provolo took it too far? Did the teacher deserve a second chance? Let us know in the comments!
