Believe it or not there is no general duty to help your fellow humans, and if you see a stranger bleeding to death in the street and you stand there and do nothing to help, the person (or her heirs) might well be unable to sue you for not helping. A teacher of yours might have had a special relationship with you, and a legal duty to do something to help you, and you should explore this issue in person with a personal injury attorney in your locality. Watch out for legal time limits which, if this was a public school, are very short.
