Yeah- I had those kind of teachers. They really helped shape my response to tantrums by anybody.
As you were dealing with an authority figure with that name, it made me think of another, mythical one.
"Miss Ann", for many years, was a code term in the world of Black Americans for their white female employers, used to criticize and parody them behind their backs. (The male equivalent was "Mister Charlie".) The subversive nature of the term was most apparent to me when Little Richard use the title as the name of one of his songs in his 1950s halcyon period. ("I told Miss Ann once...and I told Miss Ann twice...).
Your writing is crazy good
