The middle school teacher who sent our bad report cards early so that they would arrive for christmas. Everyone else got their report cards AFTER Christmas, as was expected. The pettiness and meanness of middle school teachers is sometimes just shocking.
@@Jotinko As well as the fact that it can still lead to backlash against the people you care about and people tend to do nothing about the bad teachers, especially in small towns.
We had a very uptight biology teacher. You know the kind, “if you’re nice to me I will fail you for trying to be a teacher’s pet” and also the “I know much more than you so shut up” type. She was new to the school so we tried being friendly with her, you know, participating in class and asking good questions, interacting as well as we could. But no, this just wasn’t good, she saw us as people who needed to be subjugated, she wanted us to fear her and her wrath. She was very Old Testament. As someone who loved math I also loved science, specifically, biology and I had taught myself as much as I could when I was a kid, I was teaching myself advanced algebra and chemistry by the time I was 10. So yeah, I was petty to her as much as I could without getting in trouble, giving correct answers with a lot of sass, I’m not kidding when I say that the entire school was aware of my antics to the point that we were keeping track of our “fights” and people would bet. Usually I won, she only beat me once but after that I decided that never again. She would assign a buttload of work to be done within two days, I began to ace every test, lab and assignment she handed out so she could never complain about me to other teachers like she loved to do. Yeah, she shamed every student she could as publicly as possible. She once asked us to give anonymous feedback to her since a lot of her students were failing (she taught two different grades, even the kids from the grade above me came to me for tutoring). I asked her to not underestimate all of us, in spite of us speaking and writing college level stuff by the time we were 16 she would grade us on the most meaningless things like class participation and dress code. Participation was non-existent since 95% were just lectures from her and she would stop an entire class and tell us why wearing a hat in her presence was disrespect and proceeded to yell at us for 30 minutes straight about how wearing hats could lead us to having a terrible future after high school, if we managed to graduate, that is. After that “anonymous” feedback she began to challenge us as much as she could, I’m sure she knew the note was from me. But surely, I aced every single one of her assignments and taught the rest of the class how to pass. She didn’t know what to do after that, so she began to focus on bullying students who were absent, had problems at home or a combination of the two. Yep, she went there. A friend of mine missed classes, I kept all of my assignments and notes and gave them to her since she had been gone for so long and knew she would have trouble acing the next big test. She studied, did the test and did rather well for someone who was absent for so long. The teacher failed her and called her parents (with whom my friend had been having trouble with) and told them she needed extra help. I went over her test, maybe a few grammar errors and a couple of misunderstood questions but nothing major, nothing worthy of a failing grade. I told her I’d help her study more and by god, she was outstanding. She did great. Then came the days she had to study after school with the teacher. I’d stay behind to see that she went to her “meetings” with the teacher. Sometimes the teacher wouldn’t even open the door and when she did she would ask my friend for her assignments, show her where she was “wrong” and shame her until she cried. The teacher had the audacity to call her parents to tell them she had not shown up for any of their meetings when I, along with a group of friends, would stay with her to study in the teacher’s classroom. Yeah, she lied to the parents to that level and in turn she had more trouble at home. My friend never went to college because of her even though she really wanted to. At this point, after the entire student body found out she did this, everyone hated her. One day, the teacher decided to bring her son to the school so he could see “how well behaved high school students are” so he could look forward to his high school years. My friends, being the smartasses I taught them to be, were so petty in their replies to anything she asked that by the end of the second class she gave alongside her son she was crying. We humiliated her with knowledge. I taught them beyond what was considered curriculum, that way she could never humiliate them ever again and man, that was probably one of the greatest things I’ve ever accomplished as a vengeance. I gave them the empowerment they needed to take learning into their own hands. I made an army of sassy nerds.
You know what? Even tho this is far fetched, I can believe this. Mostly because I know and had a few teachers like this, and because I also was one of the "smart kids". They could never say something bad about me because I did everything she asked for and more. I never went you're route, i was more selfish and only cared about me and a few frineds passing her class. Tbf, most of my classmates didn't need my help, they always had a reply for everything she said. If she behaved nicely with us, we would comply, otherwise, a few of the guys would start delivering a rough, angry, swear-filled tongue lashing. Her classes were ALWAYS fun. At least for me, since I knew the subject and could concentrate on the drama, not so much for others.
My second grade teacher was awful, to both me and my best friend. When I was being bullied, she said "Maybe it's because you weren't being nice to them." I was nice to them, and also, what kind of response is that to a seven year old? I continued to get bullied until about high school. She also once told my best friend that he couldn't bring his book to recess (a lot of people did that, which is why he asked). He decided to stay inside during recess in the class by himself to read, and when we came back, we saw him there and she yelled at him. It was evidently her fault because she didn't notice a child was missing (My best friend and I still talk about this and laugh about it, because it's one of the coolest things he's ever done). I saw her once in a store and I just kept walking, I wouldn't have cared even if she'd recognized me. Thanks Mrs. Mills, you were the worst, and your hair still looks lame.
Had a teacher in HS who could be very rude and blunt she was always with an assistant and I once got in trouble for refusing to sit in a seat that was empty and sit in a position where I faced a fucking wall, the assistant called my father because I didn't want to face a wall while in class and wanted to face the board. Later that year the assistant got punched in her face and couldn't believe a teenager put hands on her, was the best class time I had seeing her be shut up, never saw the student or assistant as it was senior year.
A junior high geography teacher. Just flat out didn't like me and wouldn't say why. One time, giving me a C on a test when my score was 96 (out of 100). He changed it to an A after I went to the principal. We had to work on a "final project" which was 30% of the final grade. I made a railroad map of the state (which NO ONE had done, not even, not even the state department of transportation-I checked). He gave me an "incomplete" for the course. I went to the principal with all my tests and other paperwork. She changed the "I" to an A. Two years later, my younger brother had the same teacher. He also gave my brother grief. Since he was the favorite child my mother finally stepped up, went to the school, called him an a**hole and threatened to take all the actions that I took two years earlier. He gave my brother decent grades, but still often reminded him that he didn't like him.
I’ve had lots of bad teachers, but my 2nd grade teacher was the worst. I remember not being able to go to recess because I lost a pencil. That happened again when I lost a textbook which was in the classroom because we weren’t allowed to take them home. We were assigned one time per day to go to the restroom. We weren’t allowed to any other time. A bully pushed me off a chair during musical chairs and my head was bruised. I told the teacher what happened and she didn’t believe me. She told the whole class one time that she would start cussing us out if we didn’t shut up.
My financial literacy teacher was sexist towards her male students. The girls could get away with basically anything, whereas the guys would get yelled at for just whispering.
My 4th grade teacher was overall the worst teacher I had. She yelled at students constantly, like multiple times a day loud enough that the other classes could hear her (our school was generally well behaved and all the other faculty staff could probably count the number of times they had to yell at students in a year on one hand). Everyone dreaded going into the 4th grade because of her. I'm legally blind and was a very small kid so most teachers were cautious about my participation in gym class (mostly, if a game involved contact or required fine visual acuity they would just find some other physical activity for me to do or would even just let me "referee" if I wanted to) but as long as it was reasonable they would still let me participate with the rest of the class. This teacher's "solution" was to simply ban me from gym class and have me do classwork alone in the classroom for the year, despite my parents, other teachers and even the school librarian telling her that it was inappropriate. She also had a policy of if you handed something in late, you got an automatic zero, even under extenuating circumstance such as illness, hospitalization or a death in the family (her reasoning being "you should always have work done early just in case these things come up"). I remember a friend's dad arguing with this teacher when my friend got a zero got a zero. Her told her that her late policy was incredibly unfair and that even university students don't have to deal with a policy like that. She asked how he would know and he replied "I'm a professor at the university".
Had a teacher that called the one black guy in our class the n word in front of the class. Amazing what you can get away with when your husband is the principal.
my music teacher in high school told me that I will never gonna be able to learn to play any instrument and make fail the class. next year I pick a guitar and learn by myself to end up playing the leading guitar in a band at college... fun times.
What we need is a way to get constant surveillance/solid proof on teachers to then report these claims so that things like this can hopefully be eradicated or at least mitigated.
Art teacher were the worst. One threw my friends work in the bin in the real exam tried to do the same with me but I said no. Other made me feel like shit for basically being mute and me not explaining my work because I was terrified talking to people.
My son had the worst 5th grade teacher ever. She would yell at the kids, be unfair and have favorites. He would failed the kids and then have the parents pay her a “special course” to get them up to speed . Those kids in the “special paid course “ would be treated better and have grades at least form B to D+ . Those who weren’t, just were terrorized. I enrolled my kid in her “special course” and magically he stopped failing. even though his behavior didn’t changed at all. She divided the group ones against the others. finally (thanks God) an influential parent had enough and she got SUPER fired!!! The kids were so happy. The substitute teacher got to hear all the horror stories of screaming, yelling, humiliation and unfairness. The kids were never the same again. They lost all faith in authority. The 6th grade teacher was scheduled to retired that year and she didn’t just For them. She spend the whole year repairing those kids hearts 💕.
My 9th grade math teacher. He would ramble on about anything and everything and just keep talking about how we should be better at math and how we should all get 100s if this worksheet was a test despite not giving any explanations that made sense to any of us. This is a very brief blip of what he would ramble about, he would talk about anything like that and waste so much time right after telling us that we need to get to work. He was also kinda creepy, he would stay stuff like, "We need to cross multiply, if you know what I mean" but then he would tell us to come in during lunch/study hall to get math help from him.
In 3rd grade I had severe adhd and a budding anxiety disorder, this was known by the school but my teacher was an absolute monster. She wasnt so bad till about halfway through the year when she got divorced and became a horrible cruel woman. Of course I became her prime target. She would humiliate me in front of the class constantly, make fun of me for not being able to focus, humiliate and yell at me for not being able to get to school when my mom was too sick to drive (my mom had cancer and we lived far away where the busses didnt go) I remember her calling me a slow poke one morning when she made me take something to the office and I was tired and not walking fast enough. She would mark down my work even if it was correct. Three of the memories that stick out most with her though is getting in trouble and having to re do a whole word definition at recess because I didnt do the words in the order they were written. I still had them in alphabetical order but she got mad I wasnt doing it that way and made me re do the whole thing and gave me a 0. The next was when I accidentally got germ x on my friend who told on me and I got screamed at for it. The last time was when I had to pee really bad but she wouldnt stop talking to some other girls and every time I tried to get her attention she would yell at me for being rude. I was terrified of getting in trouble so I held it as long as I could until I peed on the floor. From what I remember my parents had multiple talks with the principal but she never did anything so I think finally my dad went and threatened her or something. It stopped mostly after that and when the year finished my mom pulled me from that school.
I had a math professor that we thought sucked. He was pushing us real hard to get through our course material (analytical trig) fast and tested the living hell out of us. We all one step away from going to the dean to complain about three weeks before the term ended and then he put an integral equation up on the board. After staring at it for a few seconds we all realized that we could solve it. BEST. TEACHER. EVER.
My fifth grade teacher screamed at me over EVERYTHING, be it something I was actually doing wrong or something she thought I was doing wrong. She was also terrible at her job, so I struggled in math (she was the whole grade’s math and science teacher), and of course, she screamed at me over that, too. These things caused my mental health to go downhill, and I started acting up in class and having frequent Autism Spectrum meltdowns, one of which my teacher got me an in-school suspension for. I’m in college now, and I still live in fear of failing assignments/classes.
Ok I’ve been e been waiting to tell this. So in Kindergarten, we had one of those assistant teachers. Who I despise. When it was break, she wouldn’t let anyone talk more than a whisper, and one time I asked her to open my cheese string, she asked if I used my teeth. Me being a kid, I said yes. She gave an absolutely disgusted face and threw it straight at my face. I remember you, Ms. B. Why did you try out for a teacher?
Mrs.Romano, 10th and 11th grade Spanish teacher, was hated by everyone. She was the one to go "I'll wait" while someone struggled to answer, constantly yelled, detention for arriving to class after the bell, literally at the door when the bell rang, detention for whomever forgot their text book. Now I was busty, but I went from D to DD in 10th grade, I also went from happy go lucky and peachy keen to creeping into depression. I wore my favorite top, one that I always wore before I grew. It was a dark turquoise and white marble like design, it was sleeveless and woven netted at the collar. The moment I walked into the door she grabbed my shoulder got in my face and calmly said in that angry strict tone and said "You can't wear that. That's inappropriate, you don't want boys staring at you." and other things along those lines. I just nodded, she smiled and patted my shoulder and I say at my desk crying for 1.) already being in a bad mood 2.) basically being slut shamed in front of everyone.
The 8th grade teacher I had who followed me into bathroom and pounded on the stall door while I was trying to call my mom because the teacher didn't like my shirt even though I had worn it a lot before, the math teacher in the same grade, who made jokes about Sandy Hook shooting and told us she'd basically just leave us to die. Then, my 9th grade highschool science teacher who wouldn't let us do any science labs of we weren't the picture perfect class for the whole 90 minute class. One student could slip up, and boom, no science lab. Idk why's she expected perfect behavior from a largely low income school full of gangs and drugs. Man, gotta love southeastern education
The worst teacher I ever had was in middle school, when I got slugged three times in the gut in front of her and she did nothing about it. Nor did the school.
One of my teachers angrily asked why I would schedule my road test to overlap with her quiz and refused to believe that the road test was scheduled by the MVC MONTHS in advance. She’s not even the worst teacher I’ve had.
There was the math teacher who didn't stop students from asking each other for help on test problems during a test. It wasn't supposed to be "open book" or anything like that, but people would get help from each other and she didn't care. And she knew I was one of the good students, so one day, she did a random check to see if people had done their homework. As I fumbled with my notebook, she told me not to bother because she knew I had done the homework. Of course, I actually had not done the homework. I also hated my 6th grade teacher. She was a hard-ass who talked about how she would make her own children call her "Ma'am". Unrelated, but I remember at a parent-teacher meeting, everyone's science projects were on the wall, and she was showing each parent their child's project. As she tried to show my project to my mom, she said something like "I know it's around here somewhere." But actually I had not done the project and I was kind of dying inside of embarrassment. Still, I walked away unscathed somehow. And I guess there's another story about me being a terrible student (except that I got great grades). A student had missed a biology class, so the teacher came to me (because I was a good student according to my grades) and asked if the student could copy my notes. Well, um, my notes were... not good. I mainly doodled and wrote down the occasional interesting word and that was it. I was so embarrassed as the teacher saw my "notes" and then went to find another student whose notes could be copied.
There was a substitute teacher in my art class back when I was in middle school who threatened to send a girl to the principal just because she dropped her pencil.
Ooo I got somthing close to thst A sub for my first period, and in my school you don’t need to Stand for the pledge just sit in peace. And our class did that- we were not loud Or screaming just chill But our sub didn’t know and was gonna tell on us and yelled at us- till she called the main office. And they told her we didn’t need to stand. Wish we got a “sorry “ from her tho
@@regularhooman1568 i can top that, my sub never gave a frick and cursed sometimes, she even middle fingered the intercom system She was the most popular sub, but i wish i remembered her name (i think it was just ms. B though)
Let's call him Mr. S. He was an arrogant douchebag who threatened to hold me back because I corrected his pronunciation of a word, a word that my previous English teacher taught me, said teacher also helped write the book we were reading from.
I had a 9th grade english teacher that hated white students, and boys. She was also the type to smile at your face while sticking a knife in your back. I was one of 2 white boys in the class, was smart and fairly quiet, but had a very sarcastic streak if you pressed on my buttons. I remember so many verbal jabs directed at myself and other boys in the class. When the entire class bombed an assignment the girl next to me got consoled and told 'don't worry you'll do better next time.' I got 'I expect better work from you.' in an incredibly cold tone. She was terrible at her job and didn't like it. We spent nearly half the year on Maya Angelou's memoirs. It was an interesting read, but we spent nearly 3 weeks on the section of the book where she gets sexually abused by her step father, and we even had to write a 5 page paper about who's fault it was that she was abused. I said the fault lied with the abuser and got marked down for being 'unoriginal.' She read a study saying that classical music helped thinking processes in kids, but she had one CD of like greatest hits of classical music that she played for months. I suggested some other music like Vivaldi's, especially the 4 seasons. She then played 4 seasons for the next 3 months. According to her all science fiction was dystopian first person narrative, and all fantasy was fairy tails and then assigned a creative writing and would not accept anything outside of those parameters. I am 100% certain she didn't read any of the submissions. The year after I had her, it was rumored she got fired for slapping a student, but I never had this confirmed. Ms Lions, if you are reading this, go get stuffed.
Was truant my second day of kindergarten, enough said, graduated from college at 36yrs old, late bloomer! Some people have no idea how hard it is to teach someone something that they don't even care about.
i got suspended in 7th grade for predicting the end of where the red fern grows correctly and ruining the ending and expierence for everyone else. Why ask us to guess and if we guess correct punish us.
Because the point of shit teachers is not for you to guess correctly because if you guess correctly you undermine their authority and they get all pissy about it. what you’re supposed to do in their eyes is follow their own skewed version of what their teaching method is supposed to be And it’s the fucking stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life
TL;DR because this is long: Had a bad classmate and teacher who refused to see the problem; lost all my friends and had depression for two years because of it. I had a fifth grade teacher who wasn't actually that bad overall, she was good at teaching and fair with homework, and gave us all the resources we needed to succeed. The problem was how she dealt with bullying. Please don't laugh. There was a girl, we'll call her Bean for anonimity's sake. She had come to the small school a year earlier and had integrated herself with the four boys. Bean and the boys were always together, at reccess, lunch, they probably would've sat together if we didn't have designated desks. We kind of ignored each other, she was a bit mean and condescending but it was fine for the most part, I just brushed it off and kept going. That was the blissful fourth grade. Now, for background, I hate horror stuff. I cannot stand anything classified as "horror". So, when Bean figured this out, things started going downhill. There was only one fifth grade class, but we had to share a lunch room with the sixth, seventh, and eigth graders, of whom there were plenty. There were three groups of fifth graders who all sat separately, taking up the three ramaining tables; the smart girls, one of which was my friend Lark (again this name is changed) and we were fine at the beginning of the year. I normally sat with the smart kids. The normal girls, who aren't really important, but know they exist bc they're one of the reasons this happened in the first place. And then there was Bean and the boys. So I usually got to the cafeteria pretty fast, and took my seat with the smart girls. When that happened there was no problem. There's a kind of unspoken rule that grades shouldn't intermingle, so fifth graders kept to themselves. This problem started happening in winter, when somehow I always got there last and was forced to sit at Bean's table since the other two fifth grade tables were full. You know how I said I hate horror stuff? She started talking to me about Pennywise, the clown from It. So that got me angry. This went on for the rest of the winter semester. I started getting really depressed because Bean wouldn't shut up about horror stuff. So, like any reasonable person, I went to our teacher. She said, I kid you not, "Just talk to her." Excuse me. I had been trying to tell Bean not to talk about that stuff for three. months. This was made worse because everyone else in the class really liked Bean, and I was the only one who had a problem with her. Including Lark. So now I was stuck, friendless, depressed, and overall widely hated because of a joke that had gotten blown WAY out of proportion earlier in the year. (Long story for another time, TL;DR is that my classmates were accusing me of being a vampire.) Btw I was the "smart kid" in the class, so everyone wanted to be close to me, but not friend bc of the aforementioned incident. So my teacher completely ignored my problem, I was so happy when covid came and online school started just because I didn't have to be around Bean anymore. Oh also Bean would make offhand comments about covid like it was no big deal. So yeah Bean is the entire reason I've been depressed for the past two years. I started homeschooling after fifth grade. Happy epilogue of this story, me and Lark made up later and I learned that Bean left that school for seventh grade so now I know she and the rest of my former classmates can rest easy and be free from her terror, which even they realized was a problem after I was gone. So yeah, frick you Bean. I can't bring myself to hate the teacher that forced me to go through that, but I don't like her by any stretch of the imagination.
Any teacher who is unwilling to help students. If you're not there to help, why are you teaching? My 6th grade teacher was one of these. I had never been good at keeping up with my homework (likely from undiagnosed ADHD) and she saw this as a reason to hate me instead of a sign that I might need some help. If I didn't understand her directions, it was somehow my fault for "not listening" even if I could repeat the directions word-for-word back to her. I'm pretty sure the only reason she didn't do this to other kids was because they were already at the top of the class and never needed her help. She also hated my best friend at the time, who was a much better student... because his handwriting wasn't the neatest and he struggled to pick up cursive. We still talk about it sometimes, it was just so weird and petty.
We have a 3 level school system here. I was on a vocational high school, my class teacher there: 1st Day: "50% of you will fail! where are your education background "High school"? why are you here? (1 guy)... ok "Junior high school"? maybe you wont fail... (20 people) with much luck... and the rest ... no body cares... (25 people)". 101 how to ruin any fun at school. The "normal" school education people was ment to fail and this guy did everything to make the 50% fail rate a fact. F him!
I dont take any teacher’s shit anymore, so when they try to enforce dumb rules or just be an ass, I will say what is on my mind. Has gotten me in trouble, nearly suspended, a few times, but has worked. No teacher fucks with me and most of them leave me alone
Some kids said that our spanish teacher sprayed one of them with RAID bug killer for being bad I was in his class and cant remember if he actually did, and there was a rumor he was caught outside the school with a gun and fired
In elementary school we had a day long Revolutionary War reenactment. The teacher in charge of assigning the historical figure you were supposed to be very obviously didn't like me. She made me Crispus Attucks...first to die.😆
Our Principles of Information Technology teacher barely knew Microsoft Office, and took my trust card for "breaking the program". What did I do? I zoomed out on a document to read more pages at once.
My middle school English teacher was awful. She was mean to nearly everyone, except her pets, but for some reason she seemed to really hate me in particular. I was struggling in school at that time - I had undiagnosed ADHD as well as a burgeoning neurovascular disease - and she would keep me in for recess and spend the whole time berating me until I was in tears. Every time she called a parent teacher conference about my grades, which was often because I was really having a hard time, she'd insult me to my parents and I'd have to sit there listening to her call me stupid and worthless. I had her for three years, including as my homeroom teacher in 7th grade, and it just... really sucked. Plus she was a bad teacher in general - she had us read this book called Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ray Bradbury) for class in eighth grade and let me tell you, that book is not appropriate for middle schoolers. It gave me nightmares, I'm not even joking, it was horrifying. My parents found out how awful she'd been treating me the whole time after my classmates started going to their parents after we graduated from middle school and their parents told my parents, and they still feel guilty for not realizing how awful she was. I don't blame them - clearly, she was a very talented manipulator and abuser.
I took a mechanics course in high school and the sensors teacher would just read a manual and have us write everything down. Then, he'd get mad at us for not knowing what an IAC valve or any other sensor looks like. Eventually, we had another teacher who'd bring his own models and give a detailed explanation of how stuff works.
22:07 'remember the titans' was released in 2000, give or take the class probably watched that movie in that year or a year or two after it was released... why the hell was segregation still a thing in the early 2000's when it was abolished in the 1950's? (or 70's as I know it took a while to reach every part of america'). That's disgusting and shows how far people would go to be stuck in their ways.
Honestly that story struck me as a little too weird. I would be willing to bet money that it was fake. If the school was getting any kind of state certification, or funding then that would mean that the school would have had to be completely covering up that it was segregated for nearly 4 decades at least. All it would take would be one kid out of likely thousands that went through that school to say something to bring the whole thing crashing down.
@@nuyabuisness7526 no i deffo agree, because what kid would not speak up about segregation happening in their schools? when nothing else is segregated outside of school? i know I would have been like wait a minute--
@@andiward7068 Yes, but the segregation mentioned was distinctly race-based, and he was getting his classes switched around after he spilled the beans, so I don’t think that applies here.
I had a teacher in middle school who would assign some stupid thing for the class to do quietly so that she could sit at her desk, use a pencil eraser on paper to make little pieces of eraser and then snort it. We all couldn't wait to see her do it over and over and then laugh about it later.
What kind of weird drug fetish shit is that!? I have never in my life heard of someone snorting eraser residue (which by the way is just rubber so I don’t understand what that teacher would’ve been getting out of it anyway it’s not like there’s a butt ton of chemicals that could initiate a natural high in it or anything it’s just rubber and a bunch of binding agents, and maybe rejected rubber from the batch they used before that’s about it)
Of all these topics, the school ones always make me the most nervous. We were at the mercy of people who did not always have our best interests at heart.
US History teacher junior year. Already pushing past retirement. He gave us the same quiz 2 days in a row, forgot lectures, etc. It was like watching a man slowly disappear into himself. Never learned anything that year, just how sad old age was.
This science teacher who treated the girls better than the boys. One time she gave answers to the girls and not to the boys and she said that she wouldn’t give answers. 😤😤😤
Maths teacher that intentionally dragged the class out into recess by having us do work then start teaching before the bell rang. We were free to leave but would miss out on content if we did.
I had a math teacher in 8th grade who made us all research and write reports on diuretics. WTF does that have to do with math and what kind of idiot would take medical advice from a bunch of 8th graders who know they're doing a bullshit assignment?
My kindergarten teacher was a pastor's wife who hated me because I was being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses. She tore up my assignments (mostly just coloring pages or very easy math problems) in front of the whole class and encouraged them to make fun of me for making minor mistakes. It's not like I had a choice to be raised in a cult. She was horrible. And I still hate her to this day, even though I am most definitely not a witness now
Omg I can’t with some of these. I’m a teacher and I’d never ever treat anyone, not even the butt-hole kids, this way. And teachers should never share things from their personal life unless it’s benign and relevant. I do have one story though. I’m divorced and a coworker called me by my married name and the kids later asked why so I said I’m divorced. Period. Nothing else because it’s no one’s business. One girl who was a butthole told her mom I discussed my divorce and so mom tried to make a problem for me. Girl told a few kids she was going to get me fired and those kids told the assistant principal the truth. Hi he mom still insisted I should’ve never said anything but she was shut down by principal. These are upper level high school kids btw. Anyway, the girl changed schools because she tried to say she did her work but all her teachers had a vendetta against her and we’d lose her work. Ooookkkkaaaaay. School suggested she go to a different school.
I got bullied severely in 8th grade, sexually harassed, and stalked, yet none of the admin would do a thing to stop it, the social worker and one of the vice principals gas-lighted me and proceeded to emotionally manipulate me and play with my emotions, saying that I was lying and trying to get attention, that I was delusional, telling my mom that she should consider alternative schooling or a group home for me.(I have high functioning autism and ADHD, and I also suffer from depression and anxiety, and while I was suffering breakdowns a lot, I never became violent or showed any delinquent or delusional tendencies). They basically told me that I "deserved the bullying and abuse from my peers because I must've done something back to provoke them". I now have trauma that Im trying to heal from, luckily Im at a new school and doing better. I feel like the adults at the other school exploited me and tried to take advantage of me in a way, knowing that I was vunerable as a mentally disabled child and struggling with mental health and self esteem issues. I also witnessed teachers being verbally and emotionally abusive or rude towards students, and just being neglectful in general.There was also a racist hall monitor who was also rumoured to be sexually abusing Black students, even though admin just brushed it off as a rumor, by claiming that since the population at the school was mainly Black and Latino kids, that there was no way of racism to occur in our school.
I had this teacher for Honors English I. She took absolutely forever to put in grades. She would say 'email me for your problems' Lady, we've seen your Gmail. You have over 2,000 unread emails. She gave us a group project for TKAM (For people who don't know, that's To Kill a Mockingbird). My group made me do extra work for the crappy excuse 'that you only have one slide to do while we have two'. One girl wasn't even there for the last few days of it. Then our group leader put another person's name on MY Slide (the girl who wasn't even there) and I couldn't find mine. I got a 25, while the rest of my group, including the girl that hadn't been there, got 100s. The teacher's excuse for this? "You didn't speak." My friend Caleigh and the rest of the class know good and well I spoke during that presentation. I even showed her where the group leader put someone else's name on my slide. She only gave me 25 more points. Commence the mental breakdown on the bus. My mom and I are still pissed about that. Thankfully, I only had her for a semester, so I never had to see her again. I also had a math teacher for Advanced Algebra I. She was a good teacher, she just gave a whole bunch of homework. To get out of doing it at home, my friend Anahya and I did our homework during Oral Communications bc the teacher was chill. Everyone else started doing their homework at school, because the homework she gave would last until like 7:00 at night. That homework did help us with the tests though.
First math class of college. Did all the assignments for the course. Never received a grade for an assignment until the last week. I had an A in that class until she graded all of the assignments. Brought me down to a B.
Hmmm toss up between: the old lady my 4th grade year who gave us all the day off and sent us home; The science teacher who, when asked if I was working a problem out correctly she said Yeah! And then I failed the test. I was "on the right track" though. 😑 Or the art teacher who cut up students' work, bitched about his divorce while inhibiting creativity, and stealing our best pieces. Oh and: 8th grade the history teacher was so bad that the next year, during the recap with the amazing 9th grade history teacher- he asks how many of us had Mrs. Ray last year. Most of our hands shot up. He shook his head and says "That explains it."
My German teacher back in 1996-1997-ish. She always had this mean look on her face and when we were doing talking exercises, she would always squint her eyes, like she's just thinking "make ONE tiny mistake and you are *done* buddy!" My German wasn't the best to begin with, but in her class I didn't improve one bit and nearly failed the exam that year.
After reading so, so many of the Bad Teacher stories below, it seems to me that the only way to curb, and maybe successfully get rid of, these lousy excuses for teachers would be to mandate cameras in every ..... single ...... classroom ..... running every minute and recording everything that teachers do, or don't do, when they are supposed to be teaching. Make sure that it is disclosed in the teaching contracts they sign, make them aware that not only will their effectiveness in teaching is being monitored, but also their interpersonal skills and that evidence of favoritism, preference in treatment of students, subtle and obvious of psychological and/or emotional abuse of students, all would be considered ground for immediate dismissal ...... and there being recorded evidence ...... won't leave much room for weaseling their way out of being dismissed/fired. Sorry, I take no prisoners.
Sadly, seeing the way the police misuse their own body cams, your surveillance idea would require an independent commission to handle all of the surveillance footage. And depending how they use them (whether they go through all of them each week or month to monitor teaching standards, or file them away carefully to be brought out whenever there's a report or a complaint), this could mean possibly an unteneble amount of work. You also have to keep in mind, this could mean impeding the work of teachers who do important work reaching out to the more troubled students (who we often hear of having depended on that kindness from teachers). Yes, teachers who do this outreach do end up in a position of massive influence that could be exploited, but fears around guarding against favouritism could mean preventing any kind of outreach and teachers being forced to stand by until they have no choice but to report the parents. It's not an easy solution, it would need a lot of oversight and some common sense ruling, but I see why you advocate for it.
I would absolutely love that I would loooove that but most teachers argue it would be unfair but the only ones screaming that it would be unfair would be the teachers who are actually shit at teaching so there’s that because the people who don’t wanna be caught abusing kids often scream the loudest
@ I remember all though public school, every year, every teacher would have "visitors" in the classroom to observe the teacher ..... principal, department head, someone from the central office for that particular subject. There was a bit of observation regarding study performance and behavior, but primarily teacher performance. With the classrooms "camera-ed", that observation process can be done on the fly and without the distraction to students from having strangers in the classroom. No teacher who is doing their job properly should have a problem with it.
In 7th Grade, there was a science teacher who we'll call Ms. Sarah. Ms. Sarah had a husband who was in the army and one daughter who was in nursery at the time. The thing about her was, she was very strict, rude and was shouting all the time and it kinda seemed like she was cold. No one in the class liked her and we would wish everyday that she went on a holiday. She also had these weird rules for taking rules that no other teacher had. Basically, in my middle school, we were only supposed to use blue pens to take notes, but in her class, we had to use blue pens for answers, black pens for questions and pencils for drawing (that one kinda made sense). One day, she told us to draw a diagram, but I forgot my pencil, so i just drew it with my blue pen. She came to my desk and started shouting very loudly at me. Then I said "Sorry, everyone makes mistakes.", and then she said in her Karen aoice, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DID YOU TRY TO MOCK ME?" and then proceeded to rip my £5 science notebook, with zero hesitation. After class, I went with a friend of mine to report the incident to the teacher. The teacher would also regularly bully my friend, calling him an idiot and stuff like that. Tomorrow, in the science class, the teacher told me and my friend to come up to the board, then proceeded to call me and my friend liars, and then said that she'll get us expelled if we "mess" with her again. This was 2 years back. A few students, maybe 20 (including me) sent mass-complains about the teacher until she was fired. We clapped on her last day.
Remedial math (Math25) instructor that wasn't very flexible or accommodating. I eventually just didn't do it until a session of Summer Session when my Math24 instructor was teaching it. Also a class later for Math 103 I ended up getting a really bizzare instructor that never answered his emails. (Mind you, this course was required to get any further in major.)
ok straight up the worst teacher that I had that I can remember is when I was in college. I had this instructor who it seemed like she cared and meant will, but was not good at explaining concepts. For example we were suppose to be taught about the concept of synthesis and how to use it in writing. She doesnt bother to do that and brings in a tickle me Elm and asks the class to describe what he is doing. when everyone said something to describe what he did or was doing, her reaction was "Great job! You just synthesized." In order pass this particular class, we had to pass the final paper and 2 of the others we were given during the semester. I only managed to pass one and I tried to get help from her but she had left for the day after she had told me to meet with her in her office. Luckily there was another instructor there who was gracious enough to give me some help on the paper and I passed that one on the revision. I retook the class the next semester and passed 4/5 of the papers we were assigned.
I completely agree because children are not clay they are sponges what you say to a child or hell even to a teenager can affect them as an adult and this is someone talking from experience who now has high anxiety due to trauma whether it be school or friend based
A teacher put on a subject on an exam that we were not told in class. When I complained to him about this he said that it was in our class book and we just had to know it. For the next test I studied the whole chapter to be sure to get a good grade. There was a question asking for 5 different awnsers. I gave 5 different awnsers based on the awnsers in the book chapter and he said that I gave the same awnser 5 times. I pointed out that according to the book these are simular sounding but still 5 different examples and he refused to give me the extra points. There was a teacher I had for 3 years and we simply never clicked. She was not flat out evil or mean but her grading system always bit me in the ass. Like writing t basicly the same question 3 times on the same test but giving them all differrent amounts of points (she did not write how many points each question was until we got our exams back)and always the question I had written the most on only counting for maybe 2 points. The grades on her tests had next to no middle field. There were only people doing well and people doing bad. When she handed us a teachers report card in which we could grade her I tore her a new one and detailed while her classes were great her exam strategy was terrible and that she can't possibly think she is doing a great job when she has next to no middle field. She did at one point try be more open and actually showed the amount of points each question would give. But she didn't like the results in the grades. Apparently she checked which question most people had written the most stuff on and than give that question the most points and lucky me had just been on the wrong side and lost important points that always took me down a grade. After 3 years of this bullshit I was informed that this excact teacher would be be grading my final presentation which was the most importand grade of them all... I dunno if she felt bad for failing me in those 3 years or if for the first time in her life she gave me a fair grade but I aced the presentation and managed to get a better grade on my final report card.
Had a seventh grade geography teacher who knew f*** all about geography! Let's just call her Mrs. C. Some of my favourite examples are: 1. Mixed up Japan and North Korea. She belittled me in front of the class for liking stuff from a "totalitarian and ruthless dictatorship"... I watched anime, once I realized she mistook Japan for North Korea she blew the f*** up at me for pointing out her mistake. 2. Insisted Africa was a country, again I pointed out it is a continent, went about as well as you would expect. Lost of yelling and belittling me... 3. I was born in Western Alberta. We where told to describe where we were born. As soon as I mentioned the rocky mountains she snapped at me. "Alberta is a flat province like Manitoba and Saskatchewan!" I tried to politely explain that for the most part yes, it is, but the western side next to British Columbia has the rocky mountains. She continued to degrade me and explain how I was wrong. I was stunned. Because she had never been to Alberta and I was f****** born there! With my family taking trips into the mountains frequently! This is the same teacher I caught 'stocking up' on holy water. She always kept some in the class because, Idk she thought satan would waltz in? As well as flipped her s*** at me for listening to the 'devils music' and vehemently telling me I couldn't listen to that satanic stuff in her class... I was listening to Skillet, a Christian hard rock band. She also wouldn't let me listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars because of their song This Is War. She also had a priest that was invited from some priest gathering to talk to the class. He was an American priest and quickly began explaining and describing hell. Then telling my best friend she was damned to hell because her parents where divorced, that I was damned to hell because I was agnostic (at the time. Fully atheist now). And ripping our English teacher a new one because she was a woman who drove a motorcycle and had tattoos. All while this dumb b**** Mrs. C nodded along in agreement. Fun times, that class! OH!!!!! I forgot one! My high school math teacher convinced me to just drop math all together. I have ADHD and autism. I struggle greatly learning math. The way this teacher taught me didn't make sense. When I tried to get her to help me more she would just explain everything the same way, my grades where dropping and I was getting super stressed. I finally just dropped math like she suggested, because I was so done and as she had convinced me "you just can't do math". Well, Mrs. B, I passed physics in college when never taking it in high school once! My grades weren't incredible, and it was struggle, but between my college friends and a really sweet and caring professor who would tutor me for 2 hours a week, I passed. So, f*** you Mrs. B!
We had a kid in our class in elementary school who quite obviously had adhd and the mean kids we were we would exclude him quite often. So once we had a new teacher he kinda picked up on it and asked what it was about and we told him that we don't like him. (I know, very very mean) Couple of months down the line the teacher said something along the lines of: "I was so upset when I first saw the way the other kids treat you and say the things they say but now, as time was going by I gotta admit I understand it" ir something like that...absolutely disgusting. But surprisingly I don't remember him ever doing something similar before or after that...he was pretty chill over all.
I had went to a Charter school for 4th and the first half of fifth grade due to bullying at my old elementary school (which is a whole other thing but I ended up going back for the second half of the year due to this) My fifth grade teacher had to go back to university to get all of her teaching degrees and things up to date or something (that’s all we pretty much were told) and so we had a sub that at first was supposed to be just temporary but she turned into a permanent sub. She had authority issues and I was in a split 5th and 6th grade class. I and two other students in 5th grade were the only ones up to grade or ahead, the rest in the resource/special Ed classroom for most of the day. (I’m glad they were getting one on one style help, some of the kids had learning disabilities that left them at 1st and 2nd grade reading levels) The permanent sub never taught anything, she told us to read the entire day and when we were taught something, it was by the special Ed teacher coming in to teach us basic math. We hardly learned anything and we spent our days reading and doing nothing. My ma found out about how little we were learning and came up to the school to ask the teacher to show her my work that I had done and the sub could only pull out three papers in a span of a month that I had did. I was taken out, but not before this happened. We were doing our winter testing, doing the state wide testing we have (I’m not specifying but it’s a state wide exam given in elementary school-early middle) We were never taught anything but we’re still forced to do said exam. We all jacked it up, and the teacher pulled me to the front of the classroom to tell everyone I had the highest score..of 43% correct I had always been a gifted kid so this was all just knowledge I had from learning by myself. We were given “study guides” to take into the computer lab the second time around to take the exam The study guides were answer keys of the test. We were given the answer key of the test and told “use it if you need help” I was always a stubborn kid so I refused to use it for help except for one question that was a story problem that I could not comprehend, and even then, I used the study guide for the formula of the question I actually used it to study, instead of reading books I read the study guide a bunch of times to try and teach myself before the testing I ended up getting I think about 86% the second time around After being taken out the school got shut down soon after, I like making the joke that it’s because they didn’t have my test scores It was widely known throughout the upper grades because we shared the second floor of the school that I had the highest scores compared to even the 8th graders which was the last grade the school kept
my current physics teacher. she’s lovely as a person, but actually teaching, she isn’t very good at. at least for me. most things we learn are a one-day thing and she doesn’t go back on the subject till like weeks later. i can’t remember anything that i learned from that class because i have horrible memory.
Elementary School; Teachers used humiliation to get the kids that were not so good at Math and reading to try to improve. Math: We had to play this game; 2 kids at the chalk board with a divider wall between them so that they couldn't see their competitor doing the same long division problem. The one that couldn't do it fast enough, or not at all, was the loser, and everyone could see that. I didn't know how to do it. Today, I can't count change when paying for something if the Cashier is watching me. I can't think. Reading: The Teacher created 3 groups for the students based on their reading test scores to work separately at reading time. Yellow Group were the good readers, Green were the average readers- I was in that one, and the blue group were the poor readers. It was clear to all who was a poor reader- and considered dumb-, because they were all at that table, and they were all shunned by the rest of the class. I think the Teacher was thinking the embarrassed blue group would try harder, or study at home to catch up, but that never happened. They were all quiet and looked down at the floor a lot. Mothers day: 4th grade. At the end of the day, the Teacher hands out paper to everyone to make a Mothers day greeting card to take home to our Moms. I did nothing. She knew my Mother was dead.
Not an actual teacher but a sub. A quick note that I wasn’t here for the situation, but word of mouth got out quick so might as well share this story. We’ll call her Ms. No. Ms. No was fairly young and new to the job, but she was a bitch. A kid walks up to her desk telling her that he has to call his mother and asks to go to the main office, and that it was very important. She says no. He asks again. She asks him to tell her why. He doesn’t want to tell since it’s his own personal business. She refuses to let him go and tells him to sit down. Then a girl walks up to her desk asking to use the bathroom. Teacher says no. That’s when other kids start calling her out and she calls the principal because her kids are “misbehaving”. Principal walks in and asks what’s going on. Students explain what was happening and what she was doing. Then Ms. No straight up lies and states “Oh you can make that phone call, and you can go to the bathroom. I never said you couldn’t.” More kids start calling her out and the principal asks the sub to talk outside. She tells the principal, while raising her voice, No. Ms. No soon realizes the shit she just dug into and was pulled out of the class quickly. After that incident we never saw her again, and I assume she was denied from having the opportunity to teach at our school.
In 10th grade you had to pick a forgein language class. Choices were Spanish, French, and Chinese. I decided to pick Spanish because my stepdad and stepbrothers are Hispanic and most of my friends picked it too. I knew basic speaking but not writing very well so I thought it would be a good chance to learn. Anyway, on the first day/class the teacher passed around a list of "Spanish Names" and told us to pick one and that will be our names' in her class not our birth names'. She said it was to get us to "create an environment" for learning Spanish. I thought it was weird. I was not the only one. Many asked why and did they really have to? She said we had to only use our "Spanish Names" in her class. If we did not answer to and/or write down the "correct" name points would be taken off. We could not use our birth names in her class at all. Many students had problems with this including me. I mean we had to remember a random name we chose off a list and use it for 30 minutes in one class instead of our own names. Many would forget or just write their own names as a reflex. It counted against our total grade. I hated this and thought it was racist. I have multiple friends and family that are Hispanic, Mexican, Dominican, etc..... That had names like Laura, Elizabeth, Zack, Austin, etc..... And in that class they had to use a "Spanish Name" as well. I remember my friend, Laura, specifically. She was in the same class time as me. She is Hispanic and took the class because she had friends in it. She was one of the main ones asking questions and debating with the teacher about the names. If we didn't pick a name from the list the teacher would pick one for us. Laura refused to pick a name from the list so the teacher picked one for her. Laura's "Spanish Name" was Esmeralda. Many students tried to start a petition and go to the principal about this. But nothing worked. They said that it was part of the teachers curriculum and she can do it if she thinks it'll help teaching Spanish. Ultimately we had no choice and had to go through with it. It was horrible and many people had their grade lower than it really should have been all because they kept forgetting about the name change including me. To make matters worse the teacher was a snobbish rich "white"/caucasian woman that has never left the USA let alone the state.
But holy shit i never seen a teacher this racist it's a good thing you have a good step-family that speaks Spanish so they can help you and support you
We had this teacher we called Mr. S, too, although he was a sub for us. He spends the first couple days goofing off and trying to put us in like a permanent recess, then after we had music, we go back to class and all these instruments are in the room. He wants us to work on this school project called ‘Rock Band’ and gives us all different jobs a band or crew member would have. Parents evening comes round, and turns out he wasn’t even an actual sub, he just wanted us to play this Battle of the Bands show so he could earn some money!
I had a teacher who would give me a bad grade for just about any reason. Like when school started and the classroom was new I didn't know where the homework was supposed to go so I will put it on her desk but then a week later I found out I was getting an F for not giving her the homework (even though she knew it was on her desk.) So eventually my mom complained about how I got an F the first week of school then she explained that it was not on this basket and that's why I got an F. So then my mom said well as long as she had the homework it should be fine. So then she gave me an A. Although this wasn't the last time something like this happened.
2nd grade teacher made me call home because I was crying because the girl across from me was kicking my shins, mind you this was also before I got my mental health issues diagnosed
Not a teacher; just the worst student teacher. I suffered him at two separate schools during his 2nd year & 3rd year teaching practices. (I had changed schools meantime). He was clearly in the teaching profession just for the bullying opportunities it gave him. EVERY TIME; shortly into each lesson, he would snap at various kids for no good reason until it became clear that one of them showed signs of being scared of him. He then spent the rest of the lesson constantly picking on his chosen victim and publicly humiliating them to satisfy his depraved nature. He had a permanent mad stare which I know some of the teaching staff noticed. When it was time for my class to choose their next year's options, he was seen at the school being interviewed for the Science Master's vacant position. A group of us science nerds went to the Headmaster's office to complain. The Head was out but the Deputy Head and his best buddy the Geography Master were there. We told them about the student teacher's bullying and said that whatever subject he taught we would not be taking. The two masters gave each other knowing looks and said, "Right, thank you lads, now on your way". The upshot; bully boy did not get the job. How is anyone like that allowed anywhere near a class of kids? Frick you Mr Turnip. -(Close enough to his real name). Justice was served.
Ms Anderson 3rd grade I was always late because my grandpa was late picking me up for school. She would always call me out and make me stand in the corner for 20-30 minutes. Then lecture me about being late, and if I tried to explained she would yell. Well- now I have time anxiety and I'm either really early to things or I don't show up.
Once had this English teacher, who wasn't really rude, but just didn't seem to like me. Told me to sit up on front of an entire class who was laughing. Forced me to sit in front by myself (was really shy and often sat by myself.) However, for English, I wanted to sit with my friend in the back of the class but he decided to move everyone into the middle of the class and have me front and centre by myself. He didn't let me use my laptop for multiple weeks cause I was checking Google cause the class hadn't started whilst the rest of the class get to use theirs. Don't know why but most English teachers didn't like me, par one teacher. Hated English as well cause of this teacher. Only nice thing I remember was when in PE I had bruised a muscle in my thigh and was limping around the school, he saw me and had one of his classmates help me to the nurses office to get let out to go home. Also, school nurses were a joke. Not actual nurses. Just gave ice packs. Probably got paid to not let kids ho home unless serious. Multiple cuts and bad bruises? Ice pack that got warm after 10 minutes.
I didn't really have bad teachers but when I was in kindergarten and 2nd grade I had a rescue supervisor and she was really mean when I was in kindergarten I was happy she left to a different school but I was shocked to find out she was back and she still mean honestly that was the frist time I actually hated someone
Not a “terrible” teacher, but still a bad one. She has opened a google classroom halfway through the year, for some reason. This was in primary school, so I just commented “hi”, and some other kid accidentally typed a comma. She sat us down and yelled and screamed at us. She ended up closing the comments for the rest of the year. Absolutely hate her.
Well if that isn’t the overreaction of the fucking century, you literally got sat down and yelled at over a hi, a simple greeting got you screamed at?? what the fuck is wrong with that woman!? I’m guessing either undiagnosed mental disorder or just plain bat shit insane
On the first day of the school year, my senior English teacher announced to the class that, no matter what we wrote, no matter how well it was written, no matter how well we supported an opinion, no matter how well the subject matter was researched, if what we wrote did not match her opinion or she simply did not agree with what we wrote, WE WERE WRONG! and she would mark us down accordingly. I knew I was screwed so just didn't try very hard ..... passed senior year English with a D. Yes, I reported her little speech to my guidance counselor and the principal but neither of them did anything. It didn't do any good. My social studies teacher (was also my "homeroom" teacher) in 5th grade had no business in a classroom ..... back then (1961) our school would run a contest to see which class could raise the most in PTA dues (parent paid the dues of course) so we were supposed to go home and basically nag the hell out of our parents to pay the dues. The class that raised the most dues got to hang a special banner in the classroom proclaiming that we raised the most dues. My parents couldn't afford to pay them that year (my father had a heart attack and was not able to work for 6 months ...... being self employed that meant no income at all). There was another girl in the class who family also did not pay the dues (for whatever the reason was). Her family emigrated from England ..... so she spoke with an accent. The teacher was pissed because our class raised less than 100% ...... and that bastard took it out on me and the other girl ...... every single day being hateful ...... and he was dumb enough to admit that he was doing it because "we" were responsible for our class not winning the honor of hanging the banner in our classroom. He got his dumb ass chewed out good ...... there was no overt harassment after that except a "look" from time to time, but we would just glare back at him ..... or stick our tongues out at him.
Mrs.smith the worst art teacher in the world, we were painting in the style of van gogh my favorite artist and she said we had to bring in a picture without people in it, I brought in a portrait of my family taken in my grandmothers koi garden and said I can't doc my family out but it would mean a lot to me, she agreed and then halfway through said I'm not allowed to do it anymore and ripped my beginning sketch in half along with the photo... which was the only copy since we don't talk to my grandmother anymore, hate that witch, only kept her position because her husband was the science teacher and he was loved by everyone
AP English Comp teacher. Did pretty much nothing except swill coffee in pitted-out shirts, preach Marxism, and let his student teachers grade stuff (due to that I actually got a very good grade - I'm pretty sure he hated me). As revenge we were constantly super-gluing his coffee cups to various surfaces whenever he took one of his 20 minute piss breaks during class. One guy finally went too far and glued his chair to the floor, which really pissed off the janitorial staff.
I also had a Social Studies teacher who would have his class so mono tone and boring i loved history so i tried to put up with it. He would put on videos turn off the lights and if you did anything besides watch the video he would walk over to you and take anything that was in the hand and give you a write up sheet (called a pink slip) if you slept, eat, put your head down, wrote notes, or like me tried to draw to keep yourself awake and just listen to the video. Also failed his class, it was so boring
A P.E teacher I had in 4th grade ( I am in 5th-6th grade now and I moved schools ) in a school which I knew since kindergarten and all teachers where nice , the only problem was that p.e teachers changed every year , but they where ok every time , and In 4th grade Mrs Petru came who always was abusive and insulted kids with problems ( called a kid with autism idiot and a kid with glasses blind) he also choked someone (who was me) because I wasn’t doing the exercise correctly (i am now allowed to not go to p.e) the scariest thing tho, HE STILL WORKS THERE
def not my worst but when i was in ~fourth grade i had a messy desk and i dont remember why but my teacher threw away my favourite rock and then i started sobbing
History teacher called Africa a country. After class in private told her about her mistake. She hated me for being arrogant after that. She personified dumb blonde to me.
Worst in _morals_ was my first grade teacher, who was going through a messy divorce at the time, and constantly took out her frustration on the easy-to-target autistic kid by singling him out for punishment over traits he couldn't help like his messy handwriting and fidgeting in his seat. (I was that kid.) Worst in _competence_ was my Spanish/French teacher in high school... who was really just the computer lab supervisor who spoke neither of those languages and graded assignments using Google Translate. (But in her defense, she was out of her specialty zone there.)
Third grade. Not as extreme as the other people where tho Context: teacher let us have bathroom breaks and screamed at the people who where being to loud in the bathroom (mostly the boys room and they all got used to it because the teacher did it a lot, but it stressed me out every time she did it and I still can't bear to see people get in trouble because it's likely they will get yelled at ) -first time: I was in the bathroom with my friends, and some idiots who where being extremely loud for no reason. I had proof that me and my friends where slient and I got yelled at for lying while the people talking got no repercussions. I cried a lot and couldn't focus on the lesson (good thing my friends where on my side and comforted me after) -second time (same grade): I was talking about where cigarettes where sold to the teacher and stopped to look at the clock for .1 seconds while still talking and she yelled "HEY! WHY ARENT YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?" It scared the crap out of me and I stopped talking (she didn't even let me finish) and because of that bitch im now extremely afraid of talking to people about things they may be upset about and I also almost had a mental breakdown earlier this week because I needed to talk to my parent about missing an assignment or something and I could barley focus she got replaced (because she had a child or something, I hope that the kid is okay) and the new teacher is so much better then her I understand that teaching is hard but is it extremely hard not to scream at 8 year olds? (I understand that I'm a little too sensitive btw
Shout out to the bus driver (kinda a teacher...?) who legit traumatized me! I don’t think he meant to do it, but the dude wouldn't let me on the bus because he ‘didn’t recognize me’ (I’m chronically ill so I miss school frequently or go in late/home early) There was more going on behind the scenes but that was my first full mental breakdown at school, I was near inconsolable until my grandfather came and brought me home
You usally have to go to a certain spot at a certain time. And since your a kid there would be no solid reason to get in some random school bus. If he took like 5 minutes to think about-
The professor in the English Department that was assigned to teach phonemes. He couldn't stop bringing up football in between actually teaching us. And it was always so long and rambling, he would put the class pretty much in a state of disinterest, even the students who actually liked football. I consider it a miracle that I passed that class at all because he kept putting me to sleep out of boredom. After that, I avoided all classes that had his name attached to them, even if it was a mandatory class. Thankfully my Academic Advisor was aware of this professor's reputation and ensured I never had to deal with him again.
in my sophomore geometry class, we had an assignment worth 10% of our grade, the quarterly assessment, that was essentially drawing. most classes do a test which covers everything we learned throughout the quarter, but my math teacher introduced us to a new thing, tessellation, and told us to tesselate a shape on a paper and graded us based on how detailed the shape was and how well it was colored. i made a very detailed shape and worked really hard on it and got a low b because my colors were too boring. this is math class.
Seeing a lot of crap being pulled by teachers that definitely would not fly in the public school district i went to, which had a fair amount of trailer park kids (me included)
I had a teacher in 4th grade that bullied me. Stole our Christmas party food and drinks for her family every year by saying the whole class just lost us the party.
The middle school teacher who sent our bad report cards early so that they would arrive for christmas. Everyone else got their report cards AFTER Christmas, as was expected. The pettiness and meanness of middle school teachers is sometimes just shocking.
What a great way to ruin Christmas 😒
It’s like they want stress on kids
I’m shocked not a lot of these “teachers” weren’t name dropped.
Mrs Davis was lol.
It’s the fear and inability to get retribution.
@@amandadane868 I would name drop Teachers I hated.
Mr. Tingley also got name dropped
@@Jotinko As well as the fact that it can still lead to backlash against the people you care about and people tend to do nothing about the bad teachers, especially in small towns.
We had a very uptight biology teacher. You know the kind, “if you’re nice to me I will fail you for trying to be a teacher’s pet” and also the “I know much more than you so shut up” type. She was new to the school so we tried being friendly with her, you know, participating in class and asking good questions, interacting as well as we could. But no, this just wasn’t good, she saw us as people who needed to be subjugated, she wanted us to fear her and her wrath. She was very Old Testament. As someone who loved math I also loved science, specifically, biology and I had taught myself as much as I could when I was a kid, I was teaching myself advanced algebra and chemistry by the time I was 10. So yeah, I was petty to her as much as I could without getting in trouble, giving correct answers with a lot of sass, I’m not kidding when I say that the entire school was aware of my antics to the point that we were keeping track of our “fights” and people would bet. Usually I won, she only beat me once but after that I decided that never again. She would assign a buttload of work to be done within two days, I began to ace every test, lab and assignment she handed out so she could never complain about me to other teachers like she loved to do. Yeah, she shamed every student she could as publicly as possible. She once asked us to give anonymous feedback to her since a lot of her students were failing (she taught two different grades, even the kids from the grade above me came to me for tutoring). I asked her to not underestimate all of us, in spite of us speaking and writing college level stuff by the time we were 16 she would grade us on the most meaningless things like class participation and dress code. Participation was non-existent since 95% were just lectures from her and she would stop an entire class and tell us why wearing a hat in her presence was disrespect and proceeded to yell at us for 30 minutes straight about how wearing hats could lead us to having a terrible future after high school, if we managed to graduate, that is. After that “anonymous” feedback she began to challenge us as much as she could, I’m sure she knew the note was from me. But surely, I aced every single one of her assignments and taught the rest of the class how to pass. She didn’t know what to do after that, so she began to focus on bullying students who were absent, had problems at home or a combination of the two. Yep, she went there. A friend of mine missed classes, I kept all of my assignments and notes and gave them to her since she had been gone for so long and knew she would have trouble acing the next big test. She studied, did the test and did rather well for someone who was absent for so long. The teacher failed her and called her parents (with whom my friend had been having trouble with) and told them she needed extra help. I went over her test, maybe a few grammar errors and a couple of misunderstood questions but nothing major, nothing worthy of a failing grade. I told her I’d help her study more and by god, she was outstanding. She did great. Then came the days she had to study after school with the teacher. I’d stay behind to see that she went to her “meetings” with the teacher. Sometimes the teacher wouldn’t even open the door and when she did she would ask my friend for her assignments, show her where she was “wrong” and shame her until she cried. The teacher had the audacity to call her parents to tell them she had not shown up for any of their meetings when I, along with a group of friends, would stay with her to study in the teacher’s classroom. Yeah, she lied to the parents to that level and in turn she had more trouble at home. My friend never went to college because of her even though she really wanted to. At this point, after the entire student body found out she did this, everyone hated her. One day, the teacher decided to bring her son to the school so he could see “how well behaved high school students are” so he could look forward to his high school years. My friends, being the smartasses I taught them to be, were so petty in their replies to anything she asked that by the end of the second class she gave alongside her son she was crying. We humiliated her with knowledge. I taught them beyond what was considered curriculum, that way she could never humiliate them ever again and man, that was probably one of the greatest things I’ve ever accomplished as a vengeance. I gave them the empowerment they needed to take learning into their own hands. I made an army of sassy nerds.
Sure bud 🙄
@@Figlover-xi3ul lololololololol
This sure was long but it also was great. I also would have done this
I have a hard time believing this, mostly bc of the fact you ended in one of those “and everybody clapped” scenarios
You know what? Even tho this is far fetched, I can believe this. Mostly because I know and had a few teachers like this, and because I also was one of the "smart kids". They could never say something bad about me because I did everything she asked for and more. I never went you're route, i was more selfish and only cared about me and a few frineds passing her class. Tbf, most of my classmates didn't need my help, they always had a reply for everything she said. If she behaved nicely with us, we would comply, otherwise, a few of the guys would start delivering a rough, angry, swear-filled tongue lashing. Her classes were ALWAYS fun. At least for me, since I knew the subject and could concentrate on the drama, not so much for others.
My second grade teacher was awful, to both me and my best friend. When I was being bullied, she said "Maybe it's because you weren't being nice to them." I was nice to them, and also, what kind of response is that to a seven year old? I continued to get bullied until about high school. She also once told my best friend that he couldn't bring his book to recess (a lot of people did that, which is why he asked). He decided to stay inside during recess in the class by himself to read, and when we came back, we saw him there and she yelled at him. It was evidently her fault because she didn't notice a child was missing (My best friend and I still talk about this and laugh about it, because it's one of the coolest things he's ever done). I saw her once in a store and I just kept walking, I wouldn't have cared even if she'd recognized me. Thanks Mrs. Mills, you were the worst, and your hair still looks lame.
Had a teacher in HS who could be very rude and blunt she was always with an assistant and I once got in trouble for refusing to sit in a seat that was empty and sit in a position where I faced a fucking wall, the assistant called my father because I didn't want to face a wall while in class and wanted to face the board. Later that year the assistant got punched in her face and couldn't believe a teenager put hands on her, was the best class time I had seeing her be shut up, never saw the student or assistant as it was senior year.
A junior high geography teacher. Just flat out didn't like me and wouldn't say why. One time, giving me a C on a test when my score was 96 (out of 100). He changed it to an A after I went to the principal. We had to work on a "final project" which was 30% of the final grade. I made a railroad map of the state (which NO ONE had done, not even, not even the state department of transportation-I checked). He gave me an "incomplete" for the course. I went to the principal with all my tests and other paperwork. She changed the "I" to an A. Two years later, my younger brother had the same teacher. He also gave my brother grief. Since he was the favorite child my mother finally stepped up, went to the school, called him an a**hole and threatened to take all the actions that I took two years earlier. He gave my brother decent grades, but still often reminded him that he didn't like him.
I’ve had lots of bad teachers, but my 2nd grade teacher was the worst. I remember not being able to go to recess because I lost a pencil. That happened again when I lost a textbook which was in the classroom because we weren’t allowed to take them home. We were assigned one time per day to go to the restroom. We weren’t allowed to any other time. A bully pushed me off a chair during musical chairs and my head was bruised. I told the teacher what happened and she didn’t believe me. She told the whole class one time that she would start cussing us out if we didn’t shut up.
My financial literacy teacher was sexist towards her male students. The girls could get away with basically anything, whereas the guys would get yelled at for just whispering.
SAME back when I was in a gaming club that teacher was really nice to me since I was the only girl and I hated it so much
3:54 Damn, as a guy I hate when teachers aren’t equal to both genders.
My 4th grade teacher was overall the worst teacher I had. She yelled at students constantly, like multiple times a day loud enough that the other classes could hear her (our school was generally well behaved and all the other faculty staff could probably count the number of times they had to yell at students in a year on one hand). Everyone dreaded going into the 4th grade because of her.
I'm legally blind and was a very small kid so most teachers were cautious about my participation in gym class (mostly, if a game involved contact or required fine visual acuity they would just find some other physical activity for me to do or would even just let me "referee" if I wanted to) but as long as it was reasonable they would still let me participate with the rest of the class. This teacher's "solution" was to simply ban me from gym class and have me do classwork alone in the classroom for the year, despite my parents, other teachers and even the school librarian telling her that it was inappropriate.
She also had a policy of if you handed something in late, you got an automatic zero, even under extenuating circumstance such as illness, hospitalization or a death in the family (her reasoning being "you should always have work done early just in case these things come up"). I remember a friend's dad arguing with this teacher when my friend got a zero got a zero. Her told her that her late policy was incredibly unfair and that even university students don't have to deal with a policy like that. She asked how he would know and he replied "I'm a professor at the university".
Oh my God. What an awful teacher.
Had a teacher that called the one black guy in our class the n word in front of the class. Amazing what you can get away with when your husband is the principal.
Jesus- holy-
Holy shit WHAT DID HE SAY?
Sucks
That is messed up. If I was the principal of that school I would have fired that teacher on the spot
So the principal wad the teachers husband?
my music teacher in high school told me that I will never gonna be able to learn to play any instrument and make fail the class.
next year I pick a guitar and learn by myself to end up playing the leading guitar in a band at college... fun times.
What we need is a way to get constant surveillance/solid proof on teachers to then report these claims so that things like this can hopefully be eradicated or at least mitigated.
Art teacher were the worst. One threw my friends work in the bin in the real exam tried to do the same with me but I said no. Other made me feel like shit for basically being mute and me not explaining my work because I was terrified talking to people.
My son had the worst 5th grade teacher ever. She would yell at the kids, be unfair and have favorites. He would failed the kids and then have the parents pay her a “special course” to get them up to speed . Those kids in the “special paid course “ would be treated better and have grades at least form B to D+ . Those who weren’t, just were terrorized. I enrolled my kid in her “special course” and magically he stopped failing. even though his behavior didn’t changed at all. She divided the group ones against the others. finally (thanks God) an influential parent had enough and she got SUPER fired!!! The kids were so happy. The substitute teacher got to hear all the horror stories of screaming, yelling, humiliation and unfairness. The kids were never the same again. They lost all faith in authority. The 6th grade teacher was scheduled to retired that year and she didn’t just
For them. She spend the whole year repairing those kids hearts 💕.
My 9th grade math teacher. He would ramble on about anything and everything and just keep talking about how we should be better at math and how we should all get 100s if this worksheet was a test despite not giving any explanations that made sense to any of us. This is a very brief blip of what he would ramble about, he would talk about anything like that and waste so much time right after telling us that we need to get to work. He was also kinda creepy, he would stay stuff like, "We need to cross multiply, if you know what I mean" but then he would tell us to come in during lunch/study hall to get math help from him.
In 3rd grade I had severe adhd and a budding anxiety disorder, this was known by the school but my teacher was an absolute monster. She wasnt so bad till about halfway through the year when she got divorced and became a horrible cruel woman. Of course I became her prime target. She would humiliate me in front of the class constantly, make fun of me for not being able to focus, humiliate and yell at me for not being able to get to school when my mom was too sick to drive (my mom had cancer and we lived far away where the busses didnt go) I remember her calling me a slow poke one morning when she made me take something to the office and I was tired and not walking fast enough. She would mark down my work even if it was correct.
Three of the memories that stick out most with her though is getting in trouble and having to re do a whole word definition at recess because I didnt do the words in the order they were written. I still had them in alphabetical order but she got mad I wasnt doing it that way and made me re do the whole thing and gave me a 0. The next was when I accidentally got germ x on my friend who told on me and I got screamed at for it. The last time was when I had to pee really bad but she wouldnt stop talking to some other girls and every time I tried to get her attention she would yell at me for being rude. I was terrified of getting in trouble so I held it as long as I could until I peed on the floor.
From what I remember my parents had multiple talks with the principal but she never did anything so I think finally my dad went and threatened her or something. It stopped mostly after that and when the year finished my mom pulled me from that school.
I had a math professor that we thought sucked. He was pushing us real hard to get through our course material (analytical trig) fast and tested the living hell out of us. We all one step away from going to the dean to complain about three weeks before the term ended and then he put an integral equation up on the board. After staring at it for a few seconds we all realized that we could solve it. BEST. TEACHER. EVER.
My fifth grade teacher screamed at me over EVERYTHING, be it something I was actually doing wrong or something she thought I was doing wrong. She was also terrible at her job, so I struggled in math (she was the whole grade’s math and science teacher), and of course, she screamed at me over that, too. These things caused my mental health to go downhill, and I started acting up in class and having frequent Autism Spectrum meltdowns, one of which my teacher got me an in-school suspension for. I’m in college now, and I still live in fear of failing assignments/classes.
As someone who has Autism as well, I can relate. Hope that teacher got fired.
Ok I’ve been e been waiting to tell this. So in Kindergarten, we had one of those assistant teachers. Who I despise. When it was break, she wouldn’t let anyone talk more than a whisper, and one time I asked her to open my cheese string, she asked if I used my teeth. Me being a kid, I said yes. She gave an absolutely disgusted face and threw it straight at my face. I remember you, Ms. B. Why did you try out for a teacher?
Lol so many ms. Bs'
Mrs.Romano, 10th and 11th grade Spanish teacher, was hated by everyone. She was the one to go "I'll wait" while someone struggled to answer, constantly yelled, detention for arriving to class after the bell, literally at the door when the bell rang, detention for whomever forgot their text book. Now I was busty, but I went from D to DD in 10th grade, I also went from happy go lucky and peachy keen to creeping into depression. I wore my favorite top, one that I always wore before I grew. It was a dark turquoise and white marble like design, it was sleeveless and woven netted at the collar. The moment I walked into the door she grabbed my shoulder got in my face and calmly said in that angry strict tone and said "You can't wear that. That's inappropriate, you don't want boys staring at you." and other things along those lines. I just nodded, she smiled and patted my shoulder and I say at my desk crying for 1.) already being in a bad mood 2.) basically being slut shamed in front of everyone.
Sometimes a teacher is the first line of defense that society has to call out disgusting personalities.
The 8th grade teacher I had who followed me into bathroom and pounded on the stall door while I was trying to call my mom because the teacher didn't like my shirt even though I had worn it a lot before, the math teacher in the same grade, who made jokes about Sandy Hook shooting and told us she'd basically just leave us to die.
Then, my 9th grade highschool science teacher who wouldn't let us do any science labs of we weren't the picture perfect class for the whole 90 minute class. One student could slip up, and boom, no science lab.
Idk why's she expected perfect behavior from a largely low income school full of gangs and drugs.
Man, gotta love southeastern education
The worst teacher I ever had was in middle school, when I got slugged three times in the gut in front of her and she did nothing about it. Nor did the school.
Please tell me you transferred out of that school after that
@@tallybone I bloody fuckin' wish. Spent all three years there.
One of my teachers angrily asked why I would schedule my road test to overlap with her quiz and refused to believe that the road test was scheduled by the MVC MONTHS in advance. She’s not even the worst teacher I’ve had.
There was the math teacher who didn't stop students from asking each other for help on test problems during a test. It wasn't supposed to be "open book" or anything like that, but people would get help from each other and she didn't care. And she knew I was one of the good students, so one day, she did a random check to see if people had done their homework. As I fumbled with my notebook, she told me not to bother because she knew I had done the homework. Of course, I actually had not done the homework.
I also hated my 6th grade teacher. She was a hard-ass who talked about how she would make her own children call her "Ma'am". Unrelated, but I remember at a parent-teacher meeting, everyone's science projects were on the wall, and she was showing each parent their child's project. As she tried to show my project to my mom, she said something like "I know it's around here somewhere." But actually I had not done the project and I was kind of dying inside of embarrassment. Still, I walked away unscathed somehow.
And I guess there's another story about me being a terrible student (except that I got great grades). A student had missed a biology class, so the teacher came to me (because I was a good student according to my grades) and asked if the student could copy my notes. Well, um, my notes were... not good. I mainly doodled and wrote down the occasional interesting word and that was it. I was so embarrassed as the teacher saw my "notes" and then went to find another student whose notes could be copied.
This makes me terrified I'll have a teacher like these.
There was a substitute teacher in my art class back when I was in middle school who threatened to send a girl to the principal just because she dropped her pencil.

Ooo I got somthing close to thst
A sub for my first period, and in my school you don’t need to Stand for the pledge just sit in peace. And our class did that- we were not loud Or screaming just chill
But our sub didn’t know and was gonna tell on us and yelled at us- till she called the main office. And they told her we didn’t need to stand. Wish we got a “sorry “ from her tho

Let's call him Mr. S. He was an arrogant douchebag who threatened to hold me back because I corrected his pronunciation of a word, a word that my previous English teacher taught me, said teacher also helped write the book we were reading from.

Some of these "teachers" need a long, drawn out lesson with Mr. Baseball Bat.
I had a 9th grade english teacher that hated white students, and boys. She was also the type to smile at your face while sticking a knife in your back. I was one of 2 white boys in the class, was smart and fairly quiet, but had a very sarcastic streak if you pressed on my buttons. I remember so many verbal jabs directed at myself and other boys in the class. When the entire class bombed an assignment the girl next to me got consoled and told 'don't worry you'll do better next time.' I got 'I expect better work from you.' in an incredibly cold tone.
She was terrible at her job and didn't like it. We spent nearly half the year on Maya Angelou's memoirs. It was an interesting read, but we spent nearly 3 weeks on the section of the book where she gets sexually abused by her step father, and we even had to write a 5 page paper about who's fault it was that she was abused. I said the fault lied with the abuser and got marked down for being 'unoriginal.'
She read a study saying that classical music helped thinking processes in kids, but she had one CD of like greatest hits of classical music that she played for months. I suggested some other music like Vivaldi's, especially the 4 seasons. She then played 4 seasons for the next 3 months.
According to her all science fiction was dystopian first person narrative, and all fantasy was fairy tails and then assigned a creative writing and would not accept anything outside of those parameters. I am 100% certain she didn't read any of the submissions.
The year after I had her, it was rumored she got fired for slapping a student, but I never had this confirmed.
Ms Lions, if you are reading this, go get stuffed.
I would've brought a hidden camera her ass would get fired

i got suspended in 7th grade for predicting the end of where the red fern grows correctly and ruining the ending and expierence for everyone else. Why ask us to guess and if we guess correct punish us.
Why would the teacher say that you were right??? Like they coulda been like “ OOO CLOSE!”
@@NameName-yj7lp and then at the end be like they were right good job
Because the point of shit teachers is not for you to guess correctly because if you guess correctly you undermine their authority and they get all pissy about it. what you’re supposed to do in their eyes is follow their own skewed version of what their teaching method is supposed to be And it’s the fucking stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life
TL;DR because this is long: Had a bad classmate and teacher who refused to see the problem; lost all my friends and had depression for two years because of it.
I had a fifth grade teacher who wasn't actually that bad overall, she was good at teaching and fair with homework, and gave us all the resources we needed to succeed. The problem was how she dealt with bullying. Please don't laugh.
There was a girl, we'll call her Bean for anonimity's sake. She had come to the small school a year earlier and had integrated herself with the four boys. Bean and the boys were always together, at reccess, lunch, they probably would've sat together if we didn't have designated desks. We kind of ignored each other, she was a bit mean and condescending but it was fine for the most part, I just brushed it off and kept going. That was the blissful fourth grade.
Now, for background, I hate horror stuff. I cannot stand anything classified as "horror". So, when Bean figured this out, things started going downhill. There was only one fifth grade class, but we had to share a lunch room with the sixth, seventh, and eigth graders, of whom there were plenty. There were three groups of fifth graders who all sat separately, taking up the three ramaining tables; the smart girls, one of which was my friend Lark (again this name is changed) and we were fine at the beginning of the year. I normally sat with the smart kids. The normal girls, who aren't really important, but know they exist bc they're one of the reasons this happened in the first place. And then there was Bean and the boys.
So I usually got to the cafeteria pretty fast, and took my seat with the smart girls. When that happened there was no problem. There's a kind of unspoken rule that grades shouldn't intermingle, so fifth graders kept to themselves. This problem started happening in winter, when somehow I always got there last and was forced to sit at Bean's table since the other two fifth grade tables were full. You know how I said I hate horror stuff? She started talking to me about Pennywise, the clown from It. So that got me angry. This went on for the rest of the winter semester.
I started getting really depressed because Bean wouldn't shut up about horror stuff. So, like any reasonable person, I went to our teacher. She said, I kid you not, "Just talk to her." Excuse me. I had been trying to tell Bean not to talk about that stuff for three. months. This was made worse because everyone else in the class really liked Bean, and I was the only one who had a problem with her. Including Lark. So now I was stuck, friendless, depressed, and overall widely hated because of a joke that had gotten blown WAY out of proportion earlier in the year. (Long story for another time, TL;DR is that my classmates were accusing me of being a vampire.) Btw I was the "smart kid" in the class, so everyone wanted to be close to me, but not friend bc of the aforementioned incident. So my teacher completely ignored my problem, I was so happy when covid came and online school started just because I didn't have to be around Bean anymore. Oh also Bean would make offhand comments about covid like it was no big deal. So yeah Bean is the entire reason I've been depressed for the past two years. I started homeschooling after fifth grade.
Happy epilogue of this story, me and Lark made up later and I learned that Bean left that school for seventh grade so now I know she and the rest of my former classmates can rest easy and be free from her terror, which even they realized was a problem after I was gone. So yeah, frick you Bean. I can't bring myself to hate the teacher that forced me to go through that, but I don't like her by any stretch of the imagination.
Any teacher who is unwilling to help students. If you're not there to help, why are you teaching?
My 6th grade teacher was one of these. I had never been good at keeping up with my homework (likely from undiagnosed ADHD) and she saw this as a reason to hate me instead of a sign that I might need some help. If I didn't understand her directions, it was somehow my fault for "not listening" even if I could repeat the directions word-for-word back to her. I'm pretty sure the only reason she didn't do this to other kids was because they were already at the top of the class and never needed her help.
She also hated my best friend at the time, who was a much better student... because his handwriting wasn't the neatest and he struggled to pick up cursive. We still talk about it sometimes, it was just so weird and petty.
We have a 3 level school system here. I was on a vocational high school, my class teacher there:
1st Day: "50% of you will fail! where are your education background "High school"? why are you here? (1 guy)... ok "Junior high school"? maybe you wont fail... (20 people) with much luck... and the rest ... no body cares... (25 people)".
101 how to ruin any fun at school. The "normal" school education people was ment to fail and this guy did everything to make the 50% fail rate a fact. F him!
I dont take any teacher’s shit anymore, so when they try to enforce dumb rules or just be an ass, I will say what is on my mind. Has gotten me in trouble, nearly suspended, a few times, but has worked. No teacher fucks with me and most of them leave me alone
My friend had a teacher that’d spray kids with perfume when they got back from any sport or hard labor it was funny 😆
Some kids said that our spanish teacher sprayed one of them with RAID bug killer for being bad
I was in his class and cant remember if he actually did, and there was a rumor he was caught outside the school with a gun and fired
In elementary school we had a day long Revolutionary War reenactment. The teacher in charge of assigning the historical figure you were supposed to be very obviously didn't like me. She made me Crispus Attucks...first to die.😆
"Noooo, don't make me the first to die!!! I'll be able to do absolutely nothing for the whole rest of the play...Nooo, poor me!!"
@@Kayenne54 🤣 nailed it. It backfired beautifully.
Our Principles of Information Technology teacher barely knew Microsoft Office, and took my trust card for "breaking the program". What did I do? I zoomed out on a document to read more pages at once.
My middle school English teacher was awful. She was mean to nearly everyone, except her pets, but for some reason she seemed to really hate me in particular. I was struggling in school at that time - I had undiagnosed ADHD as well as a burgeoning neurovascular disease - and she would keep me in for recess and spend the whole time berating me until I was in tears. Every time she called a parent teacher conference about my grades, which was often because I was really having a hard time, she'd insult me to my parents and I'd have to sit there listening to her call me stupid and worthless. I had her for three years, including as my homeroom teacher in 7th grade, and it just... really sucked. Plus she was a bad teacher in general - she had us read this book called Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ray Bradbury) for class in eighth grade and let me tell you, that book is not appropriate for middle schoolers. It gave me nightmares, I'm not even joking, it was horrifying. My parents found out how awful she'd been treating me the whole time after my classmates started going to their parents after we graduated from middle school and their parents told my parents, and they still feel guilty for not realizing how awful she was. I don't blame them - clearly, she was a very talented manipulator and abuser.
Ouch. Just ouch for you and everyone else.
I took a mechanics course in high school and the sensors teacher would just read a manual and have us write everything down.
Then, he'd get mad at us for not knowing what an IAC valve or any other sensor looks like.
Eventually, we had another teacher who'd bring his own models and give a detailed explanation of how stuff works.
22:07 'remember the titans' was released in 2000, give or take the class probably watched that movie in that year or a year or two after it was released... why the hell was segregation still a thing in the early 2000's when it was abolished in the 1950's? (or 70's as I know it took a while to reach every part of america'). That's disgusting and shows how far people would go to be stuck in their ways.
Honestly that story struck me as a little too weird. I would be willing to bet money that it was fake. If the school was getting any kind of state certification, or funding then that would mean that the school would have had to be completely covering up that it was segregated for nearly 4 decades at least. All it would take would be one kid out of likely thousands that went through that school to say something to bring the whole thing crashing down.
@@nuyabuisness7526 no i deffo agree, because what kid would not speak up about segregation happening in their schools? when nothing else is segregated outside of school? i know I would have been like wait a minute--
Segregation can be self-imposed (and isn't just race based).
@@andiward7068 Yes, but the segregation mentioned was distinctly race-based, and he was getting his classes switched around after he spilled the beans, so I don’t think that applies here.
Yeah, that sounded a bit BS to me as well.
I had a teacher in middle school who would assign some stupid thing for the class to do quietly so that she could sit at her desk, use a pencil eraser on paper to make little pieces of eraser and then snort it. We all couldn't wait to see her do it over and over and then laugh about it later.
What kind of weird drug fetish shit is that!? I have never in my life heard of someone snorting eraser residue (which by the way is just rubber so I don’t understand what that teacher would’ve been getting out of it anyway it’s not like there’s a butt ton of chemicals that could initiate a natural high in it or anything it’s just rubber and a bunch of binding agents, and maybe rejected rubber from the batch they used before that’s about it)
Of all these topics, the school ones always make me the most nervous. We were at the mercy of people who did not always have our best interests at heart.
US History teacher junior year. Already pushing past retirement. He gave us the same quiz 2 days in a row, forgot lectures, etc.
It was like watching a man slowly disappear into himself.
Never learned anything that year, just how sad old age was.
This science teacher who treated the girls better than the boys. One time she gave answers to the girls and not to the boys and she said that she wouldn’t give answers. 😤😤😤
There are so many things I want to say but I'm not going to
Maths teacher that intentionally dragged the class out into recess by having us do work then start teaching before the bell rang. We were free to leave but would miss out on content if we did.
I had a math teacher in 8th grade who made us all research and write reports on diuretics. WTF does that have to do with math and what kind of idiot would take medical advice from a bunch of 8th graders who know they're doing a bullshit assignment?
My kindergarten teacher was a pastor's wife who hated me because I was being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses. She tore up my assignments (mostly just coloring pages or very easy math problems) in front of the whole class and encouraged them to make fun of me for making minor mistakes. It's not like I had a choice to be raised in a cult. She was horrible. And I still hate her to this day, even though I am most definitely not a witness now
Oh my god. I would have ripped all her papers right back, damn the consequences
Wait is Jehovah’s Witness technically a cult I know I’m sorry that’s this was three years ago but I’m genuinely curious😅)
Shaking papers from binders is the definition of sadism in seventh grade.
my math teacher made me FORGET the fundamentals in 4 months
Omg I can’t with some of these. I’m a teacher and I’d never ever treat anyone, not even the butt-hole kids, this way. And teachers should never share things from their personal life unless it’s benign and relevant. I do have one story though. I’m divorced and a coworker called me by my married name and the kids later asked why so I said I’m divorced. Period. Nothing else because it’s no one’s business. One girl who was a butthole told her mom I discussed my divorce and so mom tried to make a problem for me. Girl told a few kids she was going to get me fired and those kids told the assistant principal the truth. Hi he mom still insisted I should’ve never said anything but she was shut down by principal. These are upper level high school kids btw. Anyway, the girl changed schools because she tried to say she did her work but all her teachers had a vendetta against her and we’d lose her work. Ooookkkkaaaaay. School suggested she go to a different school.
I got bullied severely in 8th grade, sexually harassed, and stalked, yet none of the admin would do a thing to stop it, the social worker and one of the vice principals gas-lighted me and proceeded to emotionally manipulate me and play with my emotions, saying that I was lying and trying to get attention, that I was delusional, telling my mom that she should consider alternative schooling or a group home for me.(I have high functioning autism and ADHD, and I also suffer from depression and anxiety, and while I was suffering breakdowns a lot, I never became violent or showed any delinquent or delusional tendencies). They basically told me that I "deserved the bullying and abuse from my peers because I must've done something back to provoke them". I now have trauma that Im trying to heal from, luckily Im at a new school and doing better. I feel like the adults at the other school exploited me and tried to take advantage of me in a way, knowing that I was vunerable as a mentally disabled child and struggling with mental health and self esteem issues. I also witnessed teachers being verbally and emotionally abusive or rude towards students, and just being neglectful in general.There was also a racist hall monitor who was also rumoured to be sexually abusing Black students, even though admin just brushed it off as a rumor, by claiming that since the population at the school was mainly Black and Latino kids, that there was no way of racism to occur in our school.
What the fuck that's messed up I feel bad for you😔
I had this teacher for Honors English I. She took absolutely forever to put in grades. She would say 'email me for your problems' Lady, we've seen your Gmail. You have over 2,000 unread emails.
She gave us a group project for TKAM (For people who don't know, that's To Kill a Mockingbird). My group made me do extra work for the crappy excuse 'that you only have one slide to do while we have two'. One girl wasn't even there for the last few days of it. Then our group leader put another person's name on MY Slide (the girl who wasn't even there) and I couldn't find mine.
I got a 25, while the rest of my group, including the girl that hadn't been there, got 100s. The teacher's excuse for this? "You didn't speak." My friend Caleigh and the rest of the class know good and well I spoke during that presentation. I even showed her where the group leader put someone else's name on my slide. She only gave me 25 more points. Commence the mental breakdown on the bus. My mom and I are still pissed about that. Thankfully, I only had her for a semester, so I never had to see her again.
I also had a math teacher for Advanced Algebra I. She was a good teacher, she just gave a whole bunch of homework. To get out of doing it at home, my friend Anahya and I did our homework during Oral Communications bc the teacher was chill. Everyone else started doing their homework at school, because the homework she gave would last until like 7:00 at night. That homework did help us with the tests though.
First math class of college. Did all the assignments for the course. Never received a grade for an assignment until the last week. I had an A in that class until she graded all of the assignments. Brought me down to a B.
Hmmm toss up between: the old lady my 4th grade year who gave us all the day off and sent us home;
The science teacher who, when asked if I was working a problem out correctly she said Yeah! And then I failed the test. I was "on the right track" though. 😑
Or the art teacher who cut up students' work, bitched about his divorce while inhibiting creativity, and stealing our best pieces.
Oh and: 8th grade the history teacher was so bad that the next year, during the recap with the amazing 9th grade history teacher- he asks how many of us had Mrs. Ray last year. Most of our hands shot up. He shook his head and says "That explains it."
My German teacher back in 1996-1997-ish.
She always had this mean look on her face and when we were doing talking exercises, she would always squint her eyes, like she's just thinking "make ONE tiny mistake and you are *done* buddy!"
My German wasn't the best to begin with, but in her class I didn't improve one bit and nearly failed the exam that year.
There are teachers who should not be teaching. Period.
After reading so, so many of the Bad Teacher stories below, it seems to me that the only way to curb, and maybe successfully get rid of, these lousy excuses for teachers would be to mandate cameras in every ..... single ...... classroom ..... running every minute and recording everything that teachers do, or don't do, when they are supposed to be teaching. Make sure that it is disclosed in the teaching contracts they sign, make them aware that not only will their effectiveness in teaching is being monitored, but also their interpersonal skills and that evidence of favoritism, preference in treatment of students, subtle and obvious of psychological and/or emotional abuse of students, all would be considered ground for immediate dismissal ...... and there being recorded evidence ...... won't leave much room for weaseling their way out of being dismissed/fired. Sorry, I take no prisoners.
Sadly, seeing the way the police misuse their own body cams, your surveillance idea would require an independent commission to handle all of the surveillance footage. And depending how they use them (whether they go through all of them each week or month to monitor teaching standards, or file them away carefully to be brought out whenever there's a report or a complaint), this could mean possibly an unteneble amount of work. You also have to keep in mind, this could mean impeding the work of teachers who do important work reaching out to the more troubled students (who we often hear of having depended on that kindness from teachers). Yes, teachers who do this outreach do end up in a position of massive influence that could be exploited, but fears around guarding against favouritism could mean preventing any kind of outreach and teachers being forced to stand by until they have no choice but to report the parents. It's not an easy solution, it would need a lot of oversight and some common sense ruling, but I see why you advocate for it.
I would absolutely love that I would loooove that but most teachers argue it would be unfair but the only ones screaming that it would be unfair would be the teachers who are actually shit at teaching so there’s that because the people who don’t wanna be caught abusing kids often scream the loudest
@ I remember all though public school, every year, every teacher would have "visitors" in the classroom to observe the teacher ..... principal, department head, someone from the central office for that particular subject. There was a bit of observation regarding study performance and behavior, but primarily teacher performance. With the classrooms "camera-ed", that observation process can be done on the fly and without the distraction to students from having strangers in the classroom. No teacher who is doing their job properly should have a problem with it.
not actually a teacher, but my EA (i have autism by the way) once made me sit in an empty room all day for doodling. im not kidding.
So cruel
In 7th Grade, there was a science teacher who we'll call Ms. Sarah. Ms. Sarah had a husband who was in the army and one daughter who was in nursery at the time. The thing about her was, she was very strict, rude and was shouting all the time and it kinda seemed like she was cold. No one in the class liked her and we would wish everyday that she went on a holiday. She also had these weird rules for taking rules that no other teacher had. Basically, in my middle school, we were only supposed to use blue pens to take notes, but in her class, we had to use blue pens for answers, black pens for questions and pencils for drawing (that one kinda made sense). One day, she told us to draw a diagram, but I forgot my pencil, so i just drew it with my blue pen. She came to my desk and started shouting very loudly at me. Then I said "Sorry, everyone makes mistakes.", and then she said in her Karen aoice, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DID YOU TRY TO MOCK ME?" and then proceeded to rip my £5 science notebook, with zero hesitation. After class, I went with a friend of mine to report the incident to the teacher. The teacher would also regularly bully my friend, calling him an idiot and stuff like that. Tomorrow, in the science class, the teacher told me and my friend to come up to the board, then proceeded to call me and my friend liars, and then said that she'll get us expelled if we "mess" with her again. This was 2 years back. A few students, maybe 20 (including me) sent mass-complains about the teacher until she was fired. We clapped on her last day.
Remedial math (Math25) instructor that wasn't very flexible or accommodating.
I eventually just didn't do it until a session of Summer Session when my Math24 instructor was teaching it.
Also a class later for Math 103 I ended up getting a really bizzare instructor that never answered his emails. (Mind you, this course was required to get any further in major.)
ok straight up the worst teacher that I had that I can remember is when I was in college. I had this instructor who it seemed like she cared and meant will, but was not good at explaining concepts. For example we were suppose to be taught about the concept of synthesis and how to use it in writing. She doesnt bother to do that and brings in a tickle me Elm and asks the class to describe what he is doing. when everyone said something to describe what he did or was doing, her reaction was "Great job! You just synthesized." In order pass this particular class, we had to pass the final paper and 2 of the others we were given during the semester. I only managed to pass one and I tried to get help from her but she had left for the day after she had told me to meet with her in her office. Luckily there was another instructor there who was gracious enough to give me some help on the paper and I passed that one on the revision. I retook the class the next semester and passed 4/5 of the papers we were assigned.
These terrible teachers are why I became a teacher. So there'd be one less crappy teacher. Geeze. You don't ever overreact. Calm is the way.
I completely agree because children are not clay they are sponges what you say to a child or hell even to a teenager can affect them as an adult and this is someone talking from experience who now has high anxiety due to trauma whether it be school or friend based
A teacher put on a subject on an exam that we were not told in class. When I complained to him about this he said that it was in our class book and we just had to know it. For the next test I studied the whole chapter to be sure to get a good grade. There was a question asking for 5 different awnsers. I gave 5 different awnsers based on the awnsers in the book chapter and he said that I gave the same awnser 5 times. I pointed out that according to the book these are simular sounding but still 5 different examples and he refused to give me the extra points.
There was a teacher I had for 3 years and we simply never clicked. She was not flat out evil or mean but her grading system always bit me in the ass. Like writing t basicly the same question 3 times on the same test but giving them all differrent amounts of points (she did not write how many points each question was until we got our exams back)and always the question I had written the most on only counting for maybe 2 points. The grades on her tests had next to no middle field. There were only people doing well and people doing bad. When she handed us a teachers report card in which we could grade her I tore her a new one and detailed while her classes were great her exam strategy was terrible and that she can't possibly think she is doing a great job when she has next to no middle field. She did at one point try be more open and actually showed the amount of points each question would give. But she didn't like the results in the grades. Apparently she checked which question most people had written the most stuff on and than give that question the most points and lucky me had just been on the wrong side and lost important points that always took me down a grade.
After 3 years of this bullshit I was informed that this excact teacher would be be grading my final presentation which was the most importand grade of them all... I dunno if she felt bad for failing me in those 3 years or if for the first time in her life she gave me a fair grade but I aced the presentation and managed to get a better grade on my final report card.
Had a seventh grade geography teacher who knew f*** all about geography! Let's just call her Mrs. C. Some of my favourite examples are:
1. Mixed up Japan and North Korea. She belittled me in front of the class for liking stuff from a "totalitarian and ruthless dictatorship"... I watched anime, once I realized she mistook Japan for North Korea she blew the f*** up at me for pointing out her mistake.
2. Insisted Africa was a country, again I pointed out it is a continent, went about as well as you would expect. Lost of yelling and belittling me...
3. I was born in Western Alberta. We where told to describe where we were born. As soon as I mentioned the rocky mountains she snapped at me. "Alberta is a flat province like Manitoba and Saskatchewan!" I tried to politely explain that for the most part yes, it is, but the western side next to British Columbia has the rocky mountains. She continued to degrade me and explain how I was wrong. I was stunned. Because she had never been to Alberta and I was f****** born there! With my family taking trips into the mountains frequently!
This is the same teacher I caught 'stocking up' on holy water. She always kept some in the class because, Idk she thought satan would waltz in? As well as flipped her s*** at me for listening to the 'devils music' and vehemently telling me I couldn't listen to that satanic stuff in her class... I was listening to Skillet, a Christian hard rock band. She also wouldn't let me listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars because of their song This Is War. She also had a priest that was invited from some priest gathering to talk to the class. He was an American priest and quickly began explaining and describing hell. Then telling my best friend she was damned to hell because her parents where divorced, that I was damned to hell because I was agnostic (at the time. Fully atheist now). And ripping our English teacher a new one because she was a woman who drove a motorcycle and had tattoos. All while this dumb b**** Mrs. C nodded along in agreement.
Fun times, that class!
OH!!!!! I forgot one! My high school math teacher convinced me to just drop math all together. I have ADHD and autism. I struggle greatly learning math. The way this teacher taught me didn't make sense. When I tried to get her to help me more she would just explain everything the same way, my grades where dropping and I was getting super stressed. I finally just dropped math like she suggested, because I was so done and as she had convinced me "you just can't do math". Well, Mrs. B, I passed physics in college when never taking it in high school once! My grades weren't incredible, and it was struggle, but between my college friends and a really sweet and caring professor who would tutor me for 2 hours a week, I passed. So, f*** you Mrs. B!
We had a kid in our class in elementary school who quite obviously had adhd and the mean kids we were we would exclude him quite often.
So once we had a new teacher he kinda picked up on it and asked what it was about and we told him that we don't like him. (I know, very very mean)
Couple of months down the line the teacher said something along the lines of: "I was so upset when I first saw the way the other kids treat you and say the things they say but now, as time was going by I gotta admit I understand it" ir something like that...absolutely disgusting. But surprisingly I don't remember him ever doing something similar before or after that...he was pretty chill over all.
I had went to a Charter school for 4th and the first half of fifth grade due to bullying at my old elementary school (which is a whole other thing but I ended up going back for the second half of the year due to this)
My fifth grade teacher had to go back to university to get all of her teaching degrees and things up to date or something (that’s all we pretty much were told) and so we had a sub that at first was supposed to be just temporary but she turned into a permanent sub.
She had authority issues and I was in a split 5th and 6th grade class. I and two other students in 5th grade were the only ones up to grade or ahead, the rest in the resource/special Ed classroom for most of the day. (I’m glad they were getting one on one style help, some of the kids had learning disabilities that left them at 1st and 2nd grade reading levels) The permanent sub never taught anything, she told us to read the entire day and when we were taught something, it was by the special Ed teacher coming in to teach us basic math. We hardly learned anything and we spent our days reading and doing nothing. My ma found out about how little we were learning and came up to the school to ask the teacher to show her my work that I had done and the sub could only pull out three papers in a span of a month that I had did.
I was taken out, but not before this happened.
We were doing our winter testing, doing the state wide testing we have (I’m not specifying but it’s a state wide exam given in elementary school-early middle)
We were never taught anything but we’re still forced to do said exam. We all jacked it up, and the teacher pulled me to the front of the classroom to tell everyone I had the highest score..of 43% correct
I had always been a gifted kid so this was all just knowledge I had from learning by myself.
We were given “study guides” to take into the computer lab the second time around to take the exam
The study guides were answer keys of the test. We were given the answer key of the test and told “use it if you need help”
I was always a stubborn kid so I refused to use it for help except for one question that was a story problem that I could not comprehend, and even then, I used the study guide for the formula of the question
I actually used it to study, instead of reading books I read the study guide a bunch of times to try and teach myself before the testing
I ended up getting I think about 86% the second time around
After being taken out the school got shut down soon after, I like making the joke that it’s because they didn’t have my test scores
It was widely known throughout the upper grades because we shared the second floor of the school that I had the highest scores compared to even the 8th graders which was the last grade the school kept
my current physics teacher. she’s lovely as a person, but actually teaching, she isn’t very good at. at least for me. most things we learn are a one-day thing and she doesn’t go back on the subject till like weeks later. i can’t remember anything that i learned from that class because i have horrible memory.
Elementary School; Teachers used humiliation to get the kids that were not so good at Math and reading to try to improve.
Math: We had to play this game; 2 kids at the chalk board with a divider wall between them so that they couldn't see their competitor doing the same long division problem. The one that couldn't do it fast enough, or not at all, was the loser, and everyone could see that. I didn't know how to do it. Today, I can't count change when paying for something if the Cashier is watching me. I can't think.
Reading: The Teacher created 3 groups for the students based on their reading test scores to work separately at reading time. Yellow Group were the good readers, Green were the average readers- I was in that one, and the blue group were the poor readers. It was clear to all who was a poor reader- and considered dumb-, because they were all at that table, and they were all shunned by the rest of the class. I think the Teacher was thinking the embarrassed blue group would try harder, or study at home to catch up, but that never happened. They were all quiet and looked down at the floor a lot.
Mothers day: 4th grade. At the end of the day, the Teacher hands out paper to everyone to make a Mothers day greeting card to take home to our Moms. I did nothing. She knew my Mother was dead.
My hs teacher forced all my classmates to not talk to me for 2 weeks straight. And everyone followed her instructions cause she threatened with F
Why you?
isn’t that abuse of power? Also wow that is some 2nd grader type of stuff
@@66DoodleGal she HATED me. I am 24 today and still have no idea why
@@NameName-yj7lp it is and it is. But man did it hurt when no one was talking to my sorry ass
Not an actual teacher but a sub. A quick note that I wasn’t here for the situation, but word of mouth got out quick so might as well share this story. We’ll call her Ms. No. Ms. No was fairly young and new to the job, but she was a bitch. A kid walks up to her desk telling her that he has to call his mother and asks to go to the main office, and that it was very important. She says no. He asks again. She asks him to tell her why. He doesn’t want to tell since it’s his own personal business. She refuses to let him go and tells him to sit down. Then a girl walks up to her desk asking to use the bathroom. Teacher says no. That’s when other kids start calling her out and she calls the principal because her kids are “misbehaving”. Principal walks in and asks what’s going on. Students explain what was happening and what she was doing. Then Ms. No straight up lies and states “Oh you can make that phone call, and you can go to the bathroom. I never said you couldn’t.” More kids start calling her out and the principal asks the sub to talk outside. She tells the principal, while raising her voice, No. Ms. No soon realizes the shit she just dug into and was pulled out of the class quickly. After that incident we never saw her again, and I assume she was denied from having the opportunity to teach at our school.
In 10th grade you had to pick a forgein language class. Choices were Spanish, French, and Chinese. I decided to pick Spanish because my stepdad and stepbrothers are Hispanic and most of my friends picked it too. I knew basic speaking but not writing very well so I thought it would be a good chance to learn.
Anyway, on the first day/class the teacher passed around a list of "Spanish Names" and told us to pick one and that will be our names' in her class not our birth names'. She said it was to get us to "create an environment" for learning Spanish.
I thought it was weird. I was not the only one. Many asked why and did they really have to? She said we had to only use our "Spanish Names" in her class. If we did not answer to and/or write down the "correct" name points would be taken off. We could not use our birth names in her class at all.
Many students had problems with this including me. I mean we had to remember a random name we chose off a list and use it for 30 minutes in one class instead of our own names. Many would forget or just write their own names as a reflex. It counted against our total grade.
I hated this and thought it was racist. I have multiple friends and family that are Hispanic, Mexican, Dominican, etc..... That had names like Laura, Elizabeth, Zack, Austin, etc..... And in that class they had to use a "Spanish Name" as well.
I remember my friend, Laura, specifically. She was in the same class time as me. She is Hispanic and took the class because she had friends in it. She was one of the main ones asking questions and debating with the teacher about the names. If we didn't pick a name from the list the teacher would pick one for us. Laura refused to pick a name from the list so the teacher picked one for her. Laura's "Spanish Name" was Esmeralda.
Many students tried to start a petition and go to the principal about this. But nothing worked. They said that it was part of the teachers curriculum and she can do it if she thinks it'll help teaching Spanish. Ultimately we had no choice and had to go through with it. It was horrible and many people had their grade lower than it really should have been all because they kept forgetting about the name change including me.
To make matters worse the teacher was a snobbish rich "white"/caucasian woman that has never left the USA let alone the state.
I would pick french because it's a beautiful language
But i would choose Chinese too just because of how Chinese people speak
But holy shit i never seen a teacher this racist it's a good thing you have a good step-family that speaks Spanish so they can help you and support you
We had this teacher we called Mr. S, too, although he was a sub for us. He spends the first couple days goofing off and trying to put us in like a permanent recess, then after we had music, we go back to class and all these instruments are in the room. He wants us to work on this school project called ‘Rock Band’ and gives us all different jobs a band or crew member would have. Parents evening comes round, and turns out he wasn’t even an actual sub, he just wanted us to play this Battle of the Bands show so he could earn some money!
Well maybe he would’ve earned more money if he actually, oh I don’t know, did his job as a fucking substitute teacher. God what a Mook😆
I had a teacher who would give me a bad grade for just about any reason. Like when school started and the classroom was new I didn't know where the homework was supposed to go so I will put it on her desk but then a week later I found out I was getting an F for not giving her the homework (even though she knew it was on her desk.) So eventually my mom complained about how I got an F the first week of school then she explained that it was not on this basket and that's why I got an F. So then my mom said well as long as she had the homework it should be fine. So then she gave me an A. Although this wasn't the last time something like this happened.
2nd grade teacher made me call home because I was crying because the girl across from me was kicking my shins, mind you this was also before I got my mental health issues diagnosed
Not a teacher; just the worst student teacher. I suffered him at two separate schools during his 2nd year & 3rd year teaching practices. (I had changed schools meantime). He was clearly in the teaching profession just for the bullying opportunities it gave him. EVERY TIME; shortly into each lesson, he would snap at various kids for no good reason until it became clear that one of them showed signs of being scared of him. He then spent the rest of the lesson constantly picking on his chosen victim and publicly humiliating them to satisfy his depraved nature. He had a permanent mad stare which I know some of the teaching staff noticed. When it was time for my class to choose their next year's options, he was seen at the school being interviewed for the Science Master's vacant position. A group of us science nerds went to the Headmaster's office to complain. The Head was out but the Deputy Head and his best buddy the Geography Master were there. We told them about the student teacher's bullying and said that whatever subject he taught we would not be taking. The two masters gave each other knowing looks and said, "Right, thank you lads, now on your way". The upshot; bully boy did not get the job.
How is anyone like that allowed anywhere near a class of kids? Frick you Mr Turnip. -(Close enough to his real name). Justice was served.
My 4th grade teacher Mrs Mach told me I was stupid and not to even try I'll always embarrass myself.
Yeah, teachers forget that what they say to a student can be so destructive.

I was always late because my grandpa was late picking me up for school. She would always call me out and make me stand in the corner for 20-30 minutes. Then lecture me about being late, and if I tried to explained she would yell.
Well- now I have time anxiety and I'm either really early to things or I don't show up.
Jesus Christ it’s like these stupid ass teachers don’t know that what you say to a child one minute can affect their adulthood the next
Once had this English teacher, who wasn't really rude, but just didn't seem to like me. Told me to sit up on front of an entire class who was laughing. Forced me to sit in front by myself (was really shy and often sat by myself.) However, for English, I wanted to sit with my friend in the back of the class but he decided to move everyone into the middle of the class and have me front and centre by myself. He didn't let me use my laptop for multiple weeks cause I was checking Google cause the class hadn't started whilst the rest of the class get to use theirs. Don't know why but most English teachers didn't like me, par one teacher. Hated English as well cause of this teacher. Only nice thing I remember was when in PE I had bruised a muscle in my thigh and was limping around the school, he saw me and had one of his classmates help me to the nurses office to get let out to go home. Also, school nurses were a joke. Not actual nurses. Just gave ice packs. Probably got paid to not let kids ho home unless serious. Multiple cuts and bad bruises? Ice pack that got warm after 10 minutes.
I didn't really have bad teachers but when I was in kindergarten and 2nd grade I had a rescue supervisor and she was really mean when I was in kindergarten I was happy she left to a different school but I was shocked to find out she was back and she still mean honestly that was the frist time I actually hated someone
Had some experiences with teachers and school nurses that were bad, some should've been fired but weren't
Not a “terrible” teacher, but still a bad one.
She has opened a google classroom halfway through the year, for some reason.
This was in primary school, so I just commented “hi”, and some other kid accidentally typed a comma.
She sat us down and yelled and screamed at us. She ended up closing the comments for the rest of the year.
Absolutely hate her.
Well if that isn’t the overreaction of the fucking century, you literally got sat down and yelled at over a hi, a simple greeting got you screamed at?? what the fuck is wrong with that woman!? I’m guessing either undiagnosed mental disorder or just plain bat shit insane
On the first day of the school year, my senior English teacher announced to the class that, no matter what we wrote, no matter how well it was written, no matter how well we supported an opinion, no matter how well the subject matter was researched, if what we wrote did not match her opinion or she simply did not agree with what we wrote, WE WERE WRONG! and she would mark us down accordingly. I knew I was screwed so just didn't try very hard ..... passed senior year English with a D. Yes, I reported her little speech to my guidance counselor and the principal but neither of them did anything. It didn't do any good.
My social studies teacher (was also my "homeroom" teacher) in 5th grade had no business in a classroom ..... back then (1961) our school would run a contest to see which class could raise the most in PTA dues (parent paid the dues of course) so we were supposed to go home and basically nag the hell out of our parents to pay the dues. The class that raised the most dues got to hang a special banner in the classroom proclaiming that we raised the most dues. My parents couldn't afford to pay them that year (my father had a heart attack and was not able to work for 6 months ...... being self employed that meant no income at all). There was another girl in the class who family also did not pay the dues (for whatever the reason was). Her family emigrated from England ..... so she spoke with an accent. The teacher was pissed because our class raised less than 100% ...... and that bastard took it out on me and the other girl ...... every single day being hateful ...... and he was dumb enough to admit that he was doing it because "we" were responsible for our class not winning the honor of hanging the banner in our classroom. He got his dumb ass chewed out good ...... there was no overt harassment after that except a "look" from time to time, but we would just glare back at him ..... or stick our tongues out at him.
Mrs.smith the worst art teacher in the world, we were painting in the style of van gogh my favorite artist and she said we had to bring in a picture without people in it, I brought in a portrait of my family taken in my grandmothers koi garden and said I can't doc my family out but it would mean a lot to me, she agreed and then halfway through said I'm not allowed to do it anymore and ripped my beginning sketch in half along with the photo... which was the only copy since we don't talk to my grandmother anymore, hate that witch, only kept her position because her husband was the science teacher and he was loved by everyone
AP English Comp teacher. Did pretty much nothing except swill coffee in pitted-out shirts, preach Marxism, and let his student teachers grade stuff (due to that I actually got a very good grade - I'm pretty sure he hated me). As revenge we were constantly super-gluing his coffee cups to various surfaces whenever he took one of his 20 minute piss breaks during class. One guy finally went too far and glued his chair to the floor, which really pissed off the janitorial staff.
I also had a Social Studies teacher who would have his class so mono tone and boring i loved history so i tried to put up with it. He would put on videos turn off the lights and if you did anything besides watch the video he would walk over to you and take anything that was in the hand and give you a write up sheet (called a pink slip) if you slept, eat, put your head down, wrote notes, or like me tried to draw to keep yourself awake and just listen to the video. Also failed his class, it was so boring
A P.E teacher I had in 4th grade ( I am in 5th-6th grade now and I moved schools ) in a school which I knew since kindergarten and all teachers where nice , the only problem was that p.e teachers changed every year , but they where ok every time , and In 4th grade Mrs Petru came who always was abusive and insulted kids with problems ( called a kid with autism idiot and a kid with glasses blind) he also choked someone (who was me) because I wasn’t doing the exercise correctly (i am now allowed to not go to p.e) the scariest thing tho, HE STILL WORKS THERE
def not my worst but when i was in ~fourth grade i had a messy desk and i dont remember why but my teacher threw away my favourite rock
and then i started sobbing
History teacher called Africa a country. After class in private told her about her mistake. She hated me for being arrogant after that. She personified dumb blonde to me.
Worst in _morals_ was my first grade teacher, who was going through a messy divorce at the time, and constantly took out her frustration on the easy-to-target autistic kid by singling him out for punishment over traits he couldn't help like his messy handwriting and fidgeting in his seat. (I was that kid.)
Worst in _competence_ was my Spanish/French teacher in high school... who was really just the computer lab supervisor who spoke neither of those languages and graded assignments using Google Translate. (But in her defense, she was out of her specialty zone there.)
One of my substitute teachers (Nigerian) argued with my friend (also Nigerian) about how her own last name was pronounced
Third grade. Not as extreme as the other people where tho
Context: teacher let us have bathroom breaks and screamed at the people who where being to loud in the bathroom (mostly the boys room and they all got used to it because the teacher did it a lot, but it stressed me out every time she did it and I still can't bear to see people get in trouble because it's likely they will get yelled at )
-first time: I was in the bathroom with my friends, and some idiots who where being extremely loud for no reason. I had proof that me and my friends where slient and I got yelled at for lying while the people talking got no repercussions. I cried a lot and couldn't focus on the lesson (good thing my friends where on my side and comforted me after)
-second time (same grade): I was talking about where cigarettes where sold to the teacher and stopped to look at the clock for .1 seconds while still talking and she yelled "HEY! WHY ARENT YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?" It scared the crap out of me and I stopped talking (she didn't even let me finish)
and because of that bitch im now extremely afraid of talking to people about things they may be upset about and I also almost had a mental breakdown earlier this week because I needed to talk to my parent about missing an assignment or something and I could barley focus
she got replaced (because she had a child or something, I hope that the kid is okay) and the new teacher is so much better then her
I understand that teaching is hard but is it extremely hard not to scream at 8 year olds?
(I understand that I'm a little too sensitive btw
Shout out to the bus driver (kinda a teacher...?) who legit traumatized me!
I don’t think he meant to do it, but the dude wouldn't let me on the bus because he ‘didn’t recognize me’ (I’m chronically ill so I miss school frequently or go in late/home early)
There was more going on behind the scenes but that was my first full mental breakdown at school, I was near inconsolable until my grandfather came and brought me home
You usally have to go to a certain spot at a certain time. And since your a kid there would be no solid reason to get in some random school bus. If he took like 5 minutes to think about-
@@NameName-yj7lp I was leaving school, not going to school 😅
Still true though
The professor in the English Department that was assigned to teach phonemes. He couldn't stop bringing up football in between actually teaching us. And it was always so long and rambling, he would put the class pretty much in a state of disinterest, even the students who actually liked football. I consider it a miracle that I passed that class at all because he kept putting me to sleep out of boredom. After that, I avoided all classes that had his name attached to them, even if it was a mandatory class. Thankfully my Academic Advisor was aware of this professor's reputation and ensured I never had to deal with him again.
We need robot teachers
in my sophomore geometry class, we had an assignment worth 10% of our grade, the quarterly assessment, that was essentially drawing. most classes do a test which covers everything we learned throughout the quarter, but my math teacher introduced us to a new thing, tessellation, and told us to tesselate a shape on a paper and graded us based on how detailed the shape was and how well it was colored. i made a very detailed shape and worked really hard on it and got a low b because my colors were too boring. this is math class.
Seeing a lot of crap being pulled by teachers that definitely would not fly in the public school district i went to, which had a fair amount of trailer park kids (me included)
I had a teacher in 4th grade that bullied me. Stole our Christmas party food and drinks for her family every year by saying the whole class just lost us the party.
