Consider the alternative where the school teacher doesn't accept and nothing happens to them. That fit of rage is doing a lot of lifting. "Get away from me, maniac" should be all you need for face and dignity. I don't know where this idea that slapping someone being permissable because they say the magic words of offering a duel comes from.
I agree that it's absolutely ridiculous in a modern context where dueling has died as an institution, but historically for one to refuse a duel from a person of equal or greater social standing than them would ruin one's reputation.
