Feud of mastery

I've been disliking several teachers lately. First being Mrs Chow, however much i like her, she cheated my feelings! ='( Nothing of that sort, but because i didn't do an MCQ page cause i didn't know how to, she scolded me in front of the class saying how i was hardworking when i joined and that i've lost interest. (it's a little true, i've lost some interest, probably cause i'm sitting on the left side, i hate to sit there). But that's not true, i haven't lost interest! But i really didn't know how to do, and i'd rather not do it then to just anyhow write wrong answers in, she'd think i was stupid or i did it last minute. I've worked so hard in the recent months to try to satisfy her, maybe she just thinks i can't make it cause i'm a late comer but i'll do what she thinks i can't do! I'm gonna get full marks for the upcoming test if not i'll treat everyone 1 year's worth of lunch and dinner! Secondly is that Ms Wong, i dunno if she's got something against me cause she thinks i'm inferior to her in terms of LOTR knowledge or something else, but i know she definitely avoids me? I dunno, she doesn't even look at me when she talks to me and she rarely calls me to do something, i bet in her mind she must think this stupid kid can't know much about LOTR can he? Well maybe not but i'd take up a challenge against her anyday nontheless. Plus she loves to challenge my english, i mean, i know that she is much better than me being an old lady but she cannot just dismiss what i suggest just be her own knowlege? For example, last time i describe taki as being high and she told the whole class high cannot be used, when i told her it can be used 100% cause i had experiences using it she dismissed it totally telling the whole class that being high only means when someone is being drunk or on drugs. I was in disbelief so naturally i even used her dictionary to check up high and indeed it did say being happy, and she just shrugged off her defeat that simply with a grunt. And today!!!! I was pleased with my foresight that ms wong was gonna use the red book again, i saw it this morning and put it in my bag. Then when class started i realised there was homework then i was complaining to robelle about how i was gonna die cause i didn't check up the meanings, then she started flipping my book to the homework pages. To our surprise, the blanks were neatly filled up with that type of you know, sqarish handwriting like teck's. At first i thought i took the wrong book until i realised that was my handwriting in sec one until i converted to cursive writing. And i realised i did that in sec 1, so hardworking! haha. Then when the going thru of meanings was about to finish, robelle had to sabotage me and tell ms wong to call me for the explanation of the last word: Condone. What i saw in my book was just one simple word: forgive. So without thinking i went up to write forgive only to realise my folly when ms wong told the whole class it isn't forgive, it is to accept. I thought so to, so i thought i must have guessed it when i was in sec 1, how stupid i was! I was embarrassed then, everyone was looking at me. Until tonight, i was quite unhappy and thought of how to redeem myself, so i decided to check my trusty longman dictionary only to find out the meaning for condone was: to forgive. I totally exploded, i'm right!!#%!#% Even dictionary.com stated to forgive. I DEMAND A PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR DEFAMATION OF STUDENT IN PUBLIC! Not saying that ms wong's english is not commendable but that she should check the dictionary before affirming the truth, not just to dismiss my answer just like that, even ms huang checks the dictionary for most of the words we encounter. I hope ms wong would consider my answers in future =(
