My takeaway from oppressive teachers is different. I learned that if you cannot win the fight or war against them, then don't start a fight or war. Oppressive teachers remind me that there is a survival element, for students, to the academic life and that the grading scheme is most likely biased with at least some subjectivity.

Oppressive teachers show me a wonderful thing: how complex the real world is as opposed to ideals. I also dislike them with a passion.
