The Embarassment Driven by a Teacher

Not many will care to even look at this, well I don't' care either way if you choose to or not to read this. My point for posting this is that on March 4th, 2010; a teacher deliberately insulted me for simply correct a small mistake.
The task was simple, take notes on how to do a resume correctly. The thing was, when our teacher was explain how an employer would look at a cover letter, I rose my hand and corrected him in saying "That's not really true, most employers now look at the resume first before even looking at the cover letter."
Now, here's where he should have just dropped it. He could have simply said "Oh, well I didn't know that" Or "Thank you for that insight". But no, instead he decided to say that I was the rude one on "interrupting him on discussion on important information".
Not only that, but he deliberately insulted me in front of the whole class room, making me not only look like a complete fool, but like I was the one that was just talking of stupidity. Everyone, except for a very close friend of mine in that class room, laughed and it wasn't dropped for most the rest of class.

My moral behind this all; it's simple.
Teachers, I give a whole lot of respect to you all, specially if I've known you for a while or have you for one of my own personal teachers.
HOWEVER, I draw the line of my respect and courtesy when I'm insulted on purpose for no reason beyond just humiliation.
The lesson to be learned is this, sometimes when a child is bad, that child needs to be punished. But when a PERSON is bad, that person too should be punished.
Pay backs a bitch.
