I know you feel bad but as a teacher, she needs to have thicker skin. Not all pupils will be little cherubs. I was a ratbag at school (thankfully i never made any teachers cry..apart from one. We hid her frog ornaments and she REALLY loved her frogs ornaments) but every teacher i gave it to was professional and dealt with me the way they should of Could of been a case of she was having personal issues outside school and you was the last straw? I know she's only human but kids will say horrible things, her job is to shrug it off and carry on trying to help. Crying in front of you wasn't very professional.
