My teacher gave me a puzzle one day

I told my teacher that I liked riddles and puzzles. As a matter of fact, I introduced him to the Puzzling Stack Exchange! Then, he got a sheet of paper, asked for a pen, and when he found one (I didn't have a pen on me, as usual) he wrote something on it.
I was on my computer, writing my anagram puzzle, when he then handed me the sheet of paper. I looked at it and saw what was written on it. This is what it said:
$$$$
$$colorredLARGE rm Tquad Iquad Mquad E$$ $$smallcolorredrm ABDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$$
$$$$
(It was written with a red pen.) I asked him what it meant, and he said it was a riddle. I then said that it wasn't a riddle — it was some kind of enigmatic puzzle. And then he asked if I could figure it out and went to lunch as it was the end of class.
What does it mean? I noticed that the alphabet is missing the letter $rm C$, and the $rm B$ looked like a $13$ in his handwriting. Was it some kind of message I had to figure out? Perhaps it said "Time's up" since the word TIME is above (up) the alphabet and a clock only has $12$ hours (not $13$)? I didn't know.
Has anyone seen this puzzle before? Would you like me to upload a picture of the original piece of paper? I am unsure what tags I should include, so they might not help. Also, I don't know the name of the puzzle if it is well-known, so I can't research it.

Don't forget that if you showed your teacher the Puzzling Exchange, there's a good chance they'll end up seeing this question too.

This has to be it. No explanation needed. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier — why didn't I think of this? Eh well, I will give others a shot at this if they haven't seen the puzzle, before accepting yours. (I also reached my daily voting limit, and have to wait $14$ hours before I can upvote.) :D

Just did some research on rebus puzzles. (SPOILER ALERT) So for example, the answer toGESGwould be scrambled eggs because you can scramble the letters of EGGS to make GESG. Are those what rebus puzzles are? Like pictograms?

@user477343 This is a kind of rebuses that use only text, like in this question

@user477343 SE tags can have a "wiki", which generally has some helpful description of what the tag is for. For example, the rebus tag wiki has a short explanation of what a rebus is.
