In my history class today, my teacher was trying to demonstrate the different government systems by making an example out of a student who happened to ask a question on a take-home quiz that we were allowed to ask questions on. He made a big discussion over how socialist, or capitalist or whatever it could be to give her the answer or not give her the answer and everyone was just tired of it and the girl was obviously frustrated. A few classmates and I offered some reasons to sate his obvious desire for a discussion. A classmate made a comment about how she may have been paying attention then just didn't understand at the time, and was now asking for clarification. There were others as well, however, my ill-fated comment was "What if she was going through a really tough experience, and she couldn't focus in class that day?" I knew this was ill-fated, because this was happening to me. I have been "relapsing," I guess you could say, back to how I felt/feel about the days and times that I was sexually harassed, and I've been trying to work through it and focus on my studies, but I haven't been able to do so. My teacher's "joking" comment was something about having to hold her hand, and help her, and comfort her, and he said all this in a very snide and mocking manner that made me feel very self-conscious. Also, this made me feel like my experience was nothing, and that it shouldn't matter that I was feeling all these things over again. I mean, because he was trying to prove a point, and it's not the first time he's said a loose comment like this, and it usually doesn't bother me. But this time it really got to me. Should I say something to the teacher about it? Should I let him know how his comment affected me, or should I just deal with it and get on with my life, since the other times his comments didn't bother me? Please help....
