I believe teachers can ruin a childs way of learning

I had a teacher in the fourth grade accuse me of cheating. Her name was Mrs. Glidwell, and she said that I cheated on a homework assignment. After telling her that I didn't cheat and I did the work she called me a liar and sent me to the principal’s office, giving me a zero on the assignment. This one act from a teacher changed the way I did things, giving my best work and doing my hardest got me accused of cheating. From that point on I didn't put my best effort into everything I did, I figured if my best would give me a failing grade anyway why should I try so hard. I did the bare minimum on assignments from that point on; I just didn't care to give my best anymore. One teacher ruined the way I learned, I didn't care to learn new things I did not do my best. I could have been a better student if I hadn’t had my way of thinking changed.
