Even kids know when they’re being treated unfairly.

This girl was in the 4th grade when she noticed that her teacher was singling her out for no reason.

So, she came up with a subtle and clever form of revenge.

And it went on for months without anyone catching on.

Read the full story below for all the details.

You want to be rude, fine hope you like paying for a ton of pencils.

This story takes place when I was in 4th grade, so I was almost 10.

It’s about my 4th grade teacher.

Let’s call her Dr. S (yup, she had a doctorate).

Dr. S hated me, and she didn’t have any reason to, as far as I could tell.

Dr. S treated this girl poorly.

She would yell at me for almost nothing.

She would make me wait outside of the classroom.

While everyone went inside in the morning.

And then, she would yell at me for not going in quickly enough.

Along with many other things.

She finally had enough, so she decided to play a few tricks.

After a couple of months of this (a few weeks before Christmas break), I got tired of it.

Luckily, my teacher didn’t know that I grew up in a manipulative family.

So, I had learned a trick or two.

I asked her if I could stay after school and help the janitor clean up the room.

She stupidly said yes.

She would sharpen her teacher’s pencils all the way to the other end.

Now, I was good friends with the janitors.

So, I knew what rooms they cleaned.

And I had a general idea of where they would be when cleaning after school.

So, before the janitor got there, I would take the teacher’s pencils from her desk.

And sharpen them all the way down till they were a stub.

It took a good few minutes but was worth it.

Dr. S never found out it was her.

I did this until Covid shut down my school in March.

I wanted to switch a few keys on her key board.

But at the time, I didn’t know how without breaking something completely.

She bought at least 12 more packs of pencils.

I still have no idea how she didn’t get me.

She thought that if her teacher knew, then she’d treat her better.

Even 10-year-old me thought it was obvious and was willing to get caught.

I thought if she knew it was me, she would stop.

I do not recommend doing this to teachers.

They do not get paid enough to deal with this.

Dr. S was just a jerk and kinda deserved it.

Let’s see how others reacted to this story.

This person makes a valid point.
