Well, I'm a freshman at my first quarter of my university. I'm always responsible with my work, I didn't have any problems with any of my professors. That's until one day, when my Spanish professor, did something that left me thinking if this wrong or not... Note that is my first time that happened to me.

When I arrived fom my university, I was on time to take the 2nd part of my communication class test. It was easy, but the section where I have to choose five questions is where I spent a lot of my time plus the revisions into making sure that the questions are correctly answered (or I think that's the correct one). I spent all the entire class doing the test, and I have studied and I got the extra time (I'm into vocational rehabilitation) to finish the test. Then I go to my Spanish class and I was 10 minutes late...

What I did (unconsciously) is that I entered the class, they we're on class discussing about the accents. The teacher was on her desk and the student on the chair, just a few feet away and I just passed right through them saying nothing (I'm also that kind of person who is very quiet and for me is hard to even say good morning with morals, which makes me feel awkward myself, so I think that counts) and sat on my chair. My teacher tells me, in FRONT of the class of why I was late to class, and I explained why I got late: "I got late because I was doing a test." Later said "That's okay" but then it later say: "But you need to know how to use morals." All in front of the class. I felt nothing at first, but it hit me later when I was talking to my mom.

I told her about what happened in Spanish class. When she heard about it, she thought of 2 possible things: maybe the teacher was trying to correct you or correcting you but in a bad manner. By a bad manner, I mean, that behind that last sentence she says, and how is constructed, including it was talked in front of the class, it can also mean something more like "You're a uneducated person". She passed through that as well in her university years. It leaves me confused if this teacher really humiliated me in front of the class, in a indirect way. Also I have morals, just in crowded settings I get very shy and not talk a lot and is hard for me to show morals in front of everyone because it can get awkward, unless they ask me something. I didn't show her that also I'm into vocational rehabilitation and dosen't know about my "condition".

So do you think that the teacher humiliated me? I need more answers to find the truth of her sentence about I need to have morals. To be honest, later I felt bad about it... also I don't know if it's my fault because my failure to show morals, I have seen people getting late and passing through them on class, and they didn't care about it.

Edit (July 27, 2020): Is too late to make an update about this, but thinking about it 2 years later... What u/fixerofthings said it's right, it's rude to walk when two people are talking. Probably she is meant to say manners instead of morals. Sometimes I can't take what my mom says something, probably wasn't the best advice that she said "correcting you but in a bad manner" as if my mom thinks some people have bad intentions inside but first option that "the teacher was trying to correct you" is what I think is the case and I can't rely on my mom most the time for advice, I sometimes need advice from others than my mom at the time. But yes, I didn't like it at first when I read it but then I got over it and makes more sense now although I disagree with some of the statements but it helped in the end when reflecting on my past actions.
