I’m 20[M] When I was 16 in the tenth grade, I had a chemistry test. I was excited, but my teacher the same one who got my best friend expelled turned out to be a terrible person
During the test, I didn’t realize there was a math book in my desk. The teacher saw it, accused me of cheating, and yelled at me in front of the whole class. He made me stand up, threw the book on the floor, and when I picked it up and gave it back, he spat in my face. Then he kicked me out.
I never told anyone about this because I have a shitty support system that’s why I didn’t I know it sounds ridiculous, but even now at 20, I still can’t forget it I know that I’m a coward for not standing for myself I just wanted to ask if I should do something years after or not because he’s still in the school I used to study in

You’re not a coward—you were a kid in a powerless situation. If reporting him would bring closure, go for it. If letting go gives you peace, that’s valid too. The best revenge is living well and proving he didn’t break you.
All revenge would do is ruin your own life in attempts to make someone pay for being a dick to you 4 years ago.
A bad person wouldn’t apologize, and a good person (even if strict) would only be tormented and all you’d do is show yourself to be spiteful as you’d clearly never forgive them no matter what.
find a therapist and move on with your life. It will only live rent free in your head & regardless of him being a douche or misjudging you, nothing will be gained by ‘seeking revenge’, and if they are just mean spirited… they can turn the revenge against you and ruin you even further using you seeking them nearly half a decade later to go after them personally… like you were just a bitter cheater that got caught.
Go find a therapist, or a counselor and move on with your life.
Spitting on face is just too much.. what kind of a person does that..
I think you did right by not losing your temper and holding it together. Wouldn’t call it coward.
What appalling behaviour… no wonder it still plays on your mind.
I guess it depends on what outcome you’re hoping for. Start here…

Instead of saying something to him, maybe write an anonymous letter to the school. At least then there would be some type of trail in case other kids are also having these experiences
