We knew that this wasn't going to go down well. The next time we had a lesson with that teacher, he proceeded with having a full-blown mega-meltdown in front of the whole class, to the point where he literally started tearing up our reviews and tossing them all over the room, which he then practically ran out of while raging, screaming, and crying.
