Audre Lord's teacher, sister Mary of Perpetual Help, was a mean teacher because she hit students, segregated them into "good" and "bad" groups, didn't want to help those who were struggling, and humiliated students.
For instance, there was a time that she sent Audre home with a note, asking her mother not to dress her in so many layers, so that Audre would feel the paddling better.
Sister Mary of Perpetual Help segregated them into "good" and "bad" grooups. For example, when Audre could read words but not numbers, she very quickly got lost and Sister MPH made her sit with the "bad" group "brownies".
Sister Mary of Perpetual Help hated either teaching or small children or both. She called out on the students who didnt know what they were doing and instead of teaching them she punished them.
Ther was also the time when Audre broke her glasses. She was well aware of the fact that she wasn't supposed to break her glasses and tried her hardest not to. And when she ACCIDENTALLY broke her glasses there was no if's ands or buts about it. She was getting punished.
