I had a French teacher who targeted me like this. She would call on me multiple times per lesson when I didn’t know the answer and she would give me a detention if I didn’t put my hand up at least twice per lesson and correctly answer.
She claimed that she was doing this because she liked me and that I had a French last name but the other dumb kid with a French last name didn’t get the same treatment. I went from getting 50% in exams to 90% by the end of the year and I dropped French straight after that. Which sucked because I liked French but I couldn’t risk getting stuck with her for another year. In total she must have caused me to spend at least 150 hours in detention
But the entire meme is that point. The teacher needs to ensure the dumb shy kid so they can come out of their shell, grow and become a functional adult. The kid killing school isn’t going to need as much of a hand.

Oh noo a teacher was effective teaching me something, better drop the subject.
Dude. They saw potential in you, in your language intelligence and got you into a place where you were doing great with it.
If a teaching method causes a student to stop learning, it’s a bad method
