When I Scored My Mom Below Zero

Nina's mother is her homeroom teacher, and she uses her daughter to establish authority over the class. When Nina passes an eraser to a classmate, her mother slaps her face swollen before everyone. When Nina eats a few crumbs of a classmate's chips, her mother stabs her mouth with a needle until blood pours out. When the dean catches students dating, her mother drags Nina to the hallway and strips off her clothes without asking a single question.

At home, her mother becomes a struggling single parent who says she needs authority to manage over fifty students, and that Nina must excel so the others will respect her. Yet Wendy, the class representative, is treated with indulgence, and no one in class dares to be Nina's friend.

Each time her mother hits her, Nina secretly deducts a point from her mother's score in a miniature notebook. She has endured ninety-nine punishments. One more, and she will be free.
