Well to be fair, even if you weren’t in the wrong at first, a sarcastic response to a teacher does put you in the wrong...

Well to be fair, you shouldn't accuse someone of something they aren't, or something they didn't do.

For instance, it'd be incredibly unfair for me to accuse you of being a jackass for a comment like this, when I know nothing about you... it'd also be equally unfair for me to assume you're an authoritarian... because I don't know anything about you, and therefore have no reason to make such an assumption.

Sort of like the teachers in the prior comments.

For being sarcastic. You shouldn’t be punished for everything at that point.
