Answer:
If you feel threatened, I would not add fuel to the fire.
Explanation:
A lot of times that the teacher is disrespectful, it's important you keep composure. If you allow for them to break you down, then they will continue to do it. I would tell a trusted adult so they are able to handle it better. I am still a student, and when I had a disrespectful teacher, I always told my mom of the situation.
I would, if people were around, make sure that I am strong and went off to show the teacher wrong. If they are cruel to you, show them you are better than they think you are.
I hope this helps!
