Like how are we behind on the first day I was always so confused when my teachers said that. At one point a teacher that had said that had to stall and wait for OTHER classes to catch up bc WE where so far ahead
@@a.f.2330 Not always... I once had a class in DSA. They all said I was their favourite professor, but the class average was ~3.8/10 (I bumped all their grades by 1 afterwards for their effort but still). Sometimes the techer's expectations are high, it's not that his teaching abilities are lacking. And in the end they got what they had to from the class. Those people really had to learn those things I was teching them by heart since it would be a must for them in job interviews, I saw no point in passing someone who didn't have the skills to land a junior position.
@@fungi5350 Well I'm not in their home to force them to study. Ultimately it's their choice what they want to do or how do they fill the gaps in their knowledge (also I've had people get to 8-9/10 and if they would do it then everyone could...) In general, as I've said I was their favorite professor and they were literally begging me to take DSA II next semester (and they were even grateful for the things that they've learned because of me) so it's apparent that I had their best interests in mind and they appreciated me for it.
Im convinced the professor themselves give them a 5 star to help their scores sometimes bec in a sea of 1 and 2 stars and theres a single 5 star thats suspicious. Anyways wish me luck with ny rates 1.3 stars prof this semester, his exams are impossible and the final is 40% of ny grade and I have two other finals the same day
my professor created an assessment plan which required talking to him/having discussions. i lost a lot of points because i didn't want to talk to the man 😮💨
So true they’re often verbally abusive too and can even discuss your private life in front of the whole group but they never get fired cause they’re considered some time of national treasure
The scribbling illegible notes on the black board and wiping it clean before you've even read what he said, is sooooo relatable. Or they show it on a projector screen and then remove the slide before you even read two words! Excellent video!!
"you should dedicate all your time to this class" is a actual line I had from a math teacher and I just thought, I have other classes I have to do and no I can't do a 28 hour day
I had a legit genius in my class. She got 100% on almost evening while doing a very heavy course load. Even she could only get like 90%ish with one teacher. He wasn’t clear on expectations.
@@Cafeallday222 I had a professor that required 196/200 total points (98%), over 2 exams: a 100-point midterm and 100-point final, to earn an A in his class. I went into the final with 96 points. I studied so hard for that final! He called everyone else's name until there was one exam left and held up my exam with white out all over the top corner and said, "you got a perfect score but forgot to put your name on your exam so I'm subtracting 2 points." By the way, he didn't like me because I'd argued with him in front of the class about a sexist remark he made while teaching one day because I was young and idealistic and couldn't bite my tongue, so he'd had it in for me since then. After the final, I'd gone to appeal to him. He seemed to find glee in admonishing me for caring "so much" about an "arbitrary" grade even though I was applying for academic scholarships that required a 4.0 to qualify if I wanted to go to grad school. I couldn't prove what he did with the white out because the exams had to be turned back in before we could leave. It felt like he tried to derail my plans for my career and didn't even care. I went to the department chair and formally requested a hearing. The proff had provided a photocopy of my exam, but withheld the original. I didn't think I had a chance. But when it was his turn to talk, he stood up and shouted that I was a lier and didn't deserve to pass his class. He then shouted that if he could "redo my grade right now it would be an F minus!" Then he stormed out of the hearing. We we all flabbergasted. They ruled in my favor. I got the A. But what a piece of work this guy was!
It's bizarre how some of these are actual direct quotes from my Calc-III professor. Just add, "There will be a quiz every class. If you miss one question, it's an automatic 50%.". Lasted a month.
@@thehappyhound770 Probably accurate. That's a survey course, guaranteed. Inch thick, mile wide, new topic every day, and enough time to introduce and examine each topic but not enough to practice it and examine it in detail which means a lot of homework you NEED to do to practice and get comfortable with each topic. In my experience three out of four students will barely do any homework. Add in a few autodidacts and repeat students who've had the longer exposure to the topic and there's your passing portion. Lecture style, homework style, test style, none of that matters. Students that don't commit don't pass, and working hard isn't a guarantee if you have a mental block in the logic. I've had students fail who thanked me for how much effort I go through to award partial credit and I've had students fail who hand me a five page test with four blank pages. Here's my intro for calc. "This is a hard topic. There's no getting around that. You're going to be dealing with a lot of algebra, a lot of symbolic manipulation. All those things you were taught you knew you'd never use in real life, you'll use them in this class. When will you use this class in real life? You won't. This isn't a day to day kind of math, this is a professional tool. This is the kind of math you will never use, or will use on a daily basis, depending on your career choices. Now, the ways calculus is used in the real world tends to be very specific to those jobs. This isn't a physics class, this isn't an engineering class, so I can't give you a 'real' calculus problem because the 'real' problems require context that we don't have, and also take three hours to do, which we don't have time for, and also involve terrible numbers that don't make any kind of intuitive sense. Instead we'll be looking at simplified questions using clean numbers that are either very abstract or very ridiculous, nothing you'd ACTUALLY calculate for any purpose. Any questions? Great, I'll try to make this a fun ride for all."
@@rkhannahstudios6500 this guy in the video is obviously an exaggeration of what a strict teacher be like. we've all had a strict teacher at some point in our life is what I meant. I ain't never had a teacher as bad as the guy in this video. thank God for that.
I had a teacher that was so proud of how many people failed and one day he was bragging about it and one kid was just like "my mom says that when my mind is telling me everyone else is the problem, it's usually me." He got sooo mad, obviously the kid got kicked out of class. I switched the next day. I didn't need to take economics that year anyway. Nooo thank you.
One course that I was on, the lecturer's art on the blackboard was like graffiti! It was a great course, and the lecturer was Scottish, and used untolds of obscene language. He was all the time referring to his superiors as the ones in ivory towers, and he drew pictures of them too.! We all passed!
Wow this is so true. I went to e.m.t school and the teacher was just like this and he basically talked the whole time about nothing everyday for 8 hours and we just had to study thr book every day
had a teacher who would legit bring her kids to school with her and use her secretary as her personal baby sitter. her "office hours" were just time for her to take care of her kids on campus.
Had a teacher who was like this for the syntax course but was almost angelic for his concurrent morphology course, where he’d individually reach out to students to make sure they understand, super flexible with hours, and made sure you’d pass the class with full understanding if you tried. Most confused I’ve ever been with a person, like what?
In every university there are dozens (if not hundreds) of professors teaching courses they don't want solely because administration makes them. Of course they put more effort into the classes they enjoy than the ones they don't. It's just human nature
bro my highschool math teacher literally gave up at one point and said “alright just submit whatever i’ll give you an 80” and no one did shit the rest of the year and passed 😂 best teacher ever
Seriously though. My AP US Government teacher was like that, but his class ended up being a cakewalk. I survived his hostile teaching that year, but at least it waived one of my repreqs for college. Easiest A in an AP class
Ya most of these classes with are gonna be the ones required for your major, the professors know this, that’s why a few feel very comfortable acting like a power trip dick head bc most people there, have to be there. Word gets around quick on a college campus, I promise you know one is signing up for a class with a professor like that unless they have to😅
I had a teacher who graded on a bell curve for every assignment. A perfect bell curve. As in only like 4 people in the class were allowed to get A’s on any given assignment, most people got C’s, and at least 4 people had to fail. As he was explaining his rubric to us on the first day we asked what if there were 10 people who had done equally well on the assignment, why do they get different grades and how does he decide? He just gives the A’s to whoever he gets to first. Seemed like an overly complex system for a literature class.
they always grade on a normal curve as if the American grading system isn't an offset curve to begin with. But even then when over half the class gets below a 60 it's hard to ignore
Sweden actually used a bell curve grading system between 1962 and 1996. It was on a national level (you were supposed to be compared to every other kid your age, in the country). Although occasionally it seems it was misinterpreted to be at a local level.
@@petra1995 Finland still does that, it's for gymnasium (upper secondary school in Sweden and Finland) graduation exams, which can get you in university directly. The grades are descriptive too, not numerical, for this reason I think. They are mostly only comparable to the other kids of that time. For example, the English grades of my and my mother's generation would not be comparable.
That is how it works in the real world though, college degrees used to get you a high paying job automatically when only a few had them, now that everyone in the most common part of the bell curve has them they ain't shit.
Yeah the thing that really sucks is this prof isn’t just being a selfish asshole to their students, they’re also actively screwing over their coworkers. Because now guess who has 3x the number of students (and therefor 3x the amount of work)? It’s the college equivalent of being so bad at your job that your coworker has to do it for you.
I'm brazilian and in my college there are many professors like this. I hoped it was a problem just in my country, good luck for all students out there.
I literally had a class where the professor would fail you if you didn’t show up to talk to her before each class because it counted as a daily participation grade. Her quizzes were impossibly specific and covered what we WOULD learn, not what we currently knew.
When he wrote on the board and erased it in 3 seconds was exactly how it felt when my intro to behavioral research and statistics was trying to teach us z scores, T tests, and ANOVAs literally in 2 days before final exams. Horrific.
@@Jonathan_Finch I literally became so visibly annoyed one day in class that the girl behind me asked if I was okay. However, she did give us a take home for part 2 & 3 (all the written explanations and actual work portion) and we could use notes. I would have not gotten a 90 without it lol
I tried taking an asl class and it was like that. The teacher didn't about 10 seconds on a sign then moved on not even giving time to take notes and there was no text books or even reference worksheets. This was at a school for the deaf and blind and meant to teach parents and family members of deaf children to help them communicate and with their dead children.
@@joshua50101 not when you’re learning it in a very brief form 😭 I don’t even think I grasped what it fully was in the end. I’m just glad I survived the class and ended with a 91.5 in it overall (a miracle)
At my college this teacher has two classes while not technically back to back people who knew about both did, the amount of fear in everyone’s eyes when he said “oh it’s nice to see you again” to one of the students and started talking about an intro class.
My modern physics teacher did this to us last semester, and as a transfer student I guess I missed the sarcasm. We met MWF, had homework every day and a quiz every day, he said “don’t ask me for help on the homework until you’ve spent 2 days at least on it (we have 2 days to do it usually), don’t work in groups because I want you to learn on your own, and I’ll also assign notes for you to study that I don’t go over in class (he has impossible to read hand writing)”. (Further context, this class teaches general relativity and quantum mechanics) However, turns out he’s one of the most down to earth and helpful guys I met. He said all this stuff to scare us into dropping the class if we weren’t dedicated to actually learning the science thoroughly which I appreciate. And, if you stayed after class and went to office hours he would always help you with the homework.
sarcasm? Okay...well. my professor wasn't being sarcastic. And he was terrible. And didn't even know what assignments his TA's were assigning us. I visited his office hours and he asked _me_ for help at understanding what the assignment was. Worst teacher in the world.
This happened to me with a required college course. I dropped it twice. Just took it online over the summer, and it was taught by a grad student and was one of the easiest classes I took.
Had a simlar experience except I took two courses that were extremely similar to fill in a credit requirement and get my biological one. got a 90% in one and dropped the second one after the second exam.
I had a teacher who actively encouraged people to drop her class because they "couldn't handle it". She made multiple students cry just because of how she talked to them. One of them dropped the class halfway through the year, and when her guidance councillor tried to get her to have a meeting with the teacher before making that decision she started crying and having a panic attack. I almost got in her class a second year but luckily her enthusiasm for putting people down allowed me to quickly leave her class with her help. I don't know how she still has a job
She has a job because money is more important than academics. As long as she’s doing the bare minimum and isn’t breaking any rules, she’s and so is the school. Almost half of my roommates professors shouldn’t be working as educators but you can’t do anything about it once you’ve spent the money on school. Wish we had a way to sue the education system for scamming us out of money.
Now I wasn’t there and crying by how they got talked to is a… gendered thing. HOWEVER, that 100% sounds like a teacher you just need to catch outside of school and see if she bold enough to reiterate her exact statements and tone.
okay ignoring literally everything besides the first sentence because this lady sounds so awful, I can actually appreciate the first bit if done correctly. Like i’ve had profs during the first week make it explicitly clear how much work and how difficult a class will be, and encourage us to drop it that week (while there’s still time to enroll in a different class) if we can’t handle it. I also had a prof give the class a pretty difficult assignment on the first day based on past material that we’d need to use in this class and say “ if you struggled on a decent chunk of this, i strongly suggest this class is not for you.” Sometimes the name of a class draws kids in and the content is so much more difficult than they’d expect, so a heads up can be nice lol.
My college professor was SO proud of herself that out of a class of 60+ students that only 10 people may pass her course...it was a makeup hs algebra class. Her excuse for making it so impossible is to teach others discipline because she was able to get her doctorate while pregnant after her husband left her... she reminded you every day beginning, middle and end of the class as ✨️motivation✨️. I dropped but my friends stayed, none of them passed and apparently only 3 people that year passed and no one had an A or B... but apparently there's nothing wrong with that. (The time I was there she spent most of the class reminding us of her story and had you read the math book- she never taught anything in the time I was there)
I had a music theory prof like this. She was so pressed that sometimes some people don't call her "DOCTOR". She got pregnant and meaner at 2nd semester. In contrast, my choir prof also had her doctorate but was so nice and had such a good reputation that she was called "Dr Mom" by her students. She never felt the need to remind us that she was a doctor, or that half of us would either change our major or fail out, like all the other school of music profs did. Guess who changed their major 😂
Goes to show how far gone colleges are...when there are "makeup HS algebra classes." Pro-tip: if you can't do something as simple as algebra 2, maybe don't go to college.
Oh my God. I have dyscalculia and couldn't pass math to save my life. To go in a make up class like that would probably make me boil and accept failure. I narrowly passed my ged program without the kind teachers that helped me along at my pace.
@maxwellshapiro9839 at my school those remedial classes are often utilized for students that had been homeschooled until college and sometimes adult learning programs where you can get a high school diploma through the college and then you get your associates degree there, or as a refresher course before you start your degree program, sometimes students from other countries use them too so they can continue their education here. Personally, I think it's practical to have those courses, the school can't guarantee every student coming in is at the same level, so they give opportunities to catch up to everyone that wants them.
My high school biology teacher is literally exactly like this. I have never seen a more accurate depiction of him. Like he doesn't teach us anything, and then gives us an 8 page packet on what we supposedly learned. He assigned 16 assignments due the next day one time, and then didn't even grade them. I spent 5 hours working on them.
I had a professor like this and he was the only professor for that class. The other professor was on sabbatical. He was proud of having a C (United States grading scale) average for the past 5 years. I talked to a student who had the other professor before sabbatical. The 2nd professor had a A- average and on the end of semester reviews 95% of the students understood the material. It was a required course for the pre-nursing, pre-med, kinesiology, and biomed majors to take. I ended up changing majors part way through the semester for an unrelated reason and the class was no longer needed. I got a C+, the lowest grade in the class was a D. Several students are retaking it with the other professor next semester and had to change their 4 year plan.
There is a class at my university that most of the science majors have to take except biomed because we don't have it. And people legit struggle through the course and end up having to take it again. One year she accused an entire section of cheating and she dropped their best exam score. I did not have her thank God but yeah this crap happens.
I had a professor who said nobody gets an A in their class, that they don’t believe in A’s, that the class is really hard. I got a B+ in the class, and she told me that I was one of the best students she has ever had. It ruined my scholarship that semester.
One time I had a professor that told us he didn't know why almost no one passed his classes... That guy did really expected each one to make a master thesis as part of his course....
My algebra 1 teacher talked about how difficult the class was, saying, and I quote "if you haven't struggled before, you'll struggle in this class". It turned out to be super easy- assignments were all participation points. One of my easiest classes that year
@bootmii98 Yeah if you dont take AP calc or get a high enough score on SAT, you have to take college algebra which is a combination of Algebra 1 and 2 in a semester. The only challenge is the variety of subjects as it is 2 years condensed into half a year, but its relatively easy.
god this vid brought me back. i had a professor for organic chem 2 (rough course as it is) get so mad at that around 80% of his students failed his first exam, that he spent the entire next lecture telling us how we needed to put all of our focus we have into his class, even if it meant slacking in other classes (i remember he said something like “you can afford a C in your other classes if it means passing mine”). he also said something along the lines of, “breakup with your boyfriends and girlfriends now, because you won’t have any time for them while you’re in my class.” he provided no homework, no reviews, and answered zero questions. there were 4 exams and the final, and they each made up 20% of your grade iirc. yeah that was the only class i ever dropped at the beginning of a semester. got another professor over summer who was 10000x better-he actually answered questions, would provide plenty of review and practice that he’d walk us through, and provided EC since he knew the material was hard. an absolute godsend and i hope that man is doing well.
I got the "This is gonna be a difficult class. There's another teacher teaching the same class, and it's not too late to switch if you go now." teacher once. One major proccess I worked my butt off for, and got a b, and was so hyped I litterally couldnt even hear the advice. Valedictorian and multiple dean's lists before this, as well as a chemistry class I got with no effort. This was a graphic design class. Was super hard, which I never experienced before, but so rewarding. Was the fall, which I graduated chemistry spring the same year. Was harder than even capstone stuff by far, but not as hard as the next semester, Design History. (Started a full classroom, ended with 3 students. I was popping ibuprofen and caffeine like candy to get through due to my reading disability)
I hate educators like this. I took an introductory math course with a nonengaging professor during my first year in college. He flat out said, “Some people stay in college for a while because they couldn't pass this course.” Sir, this is basic math🧐. No wonder his rating is bad on Rate My Professor. He also gave a lot of word problems (my phobia) because, according to him, when he came to the U.S., word problems were scary. When we took our first exam, I knew I had to drop out, especially when the girl beside me was trying to copy my paper. That's when I knew we were doomed. The following semester, I took the course with a different professor and earned an A. I also took an advanced math course and earned an A. I took Statistics and earned an A. To the professors who brag about students' failure, know that it does reflect your bad teaching and lack of student engagement.
My history class last year was a very toned down version of this lmao He would constantly say that almost no one passed his tests, and he was right. People regularly did not do well on his tests. But he didn't weigh the tests the same way most teachers do, instead putting a heavy focus towards homework and lectures. He had so much enthusiasm for what he was doing, he just purposely made the tests super hard so that people who thought they could coast by doing none of the work and just hoping for the best on the test would inevitably have to start putting in effort or risk failing And I'll admit, I'm one of those low effort people. But it worked, I did a lot more work in that class than I did in any other class, did decently on the tests, and learnt a lot from him.
I had a teacher like this. I remember the first week the class was completely filled because it was a required class. I sat on the front cause I’m blind af and I remember I looked behind me the day of the final exam and there was only like 10 people in the room when it was like a 25 students that first week of class. I hadn’t even notice how everyone had slowly started dropping the class. After I transferred to my 4year college, literally all the professors knew his name because every student that had transferred in had complained about how awful and ruthless he was. I passed with a b and still had awful experiences with him. He just loved to humiliate his students.
professors are literally such losers. almost none of them are intelligent enough or good enough at teaching to act as superiority-complexed as they do. same with doctors.
And this is when you get up and walk out and drop the class and go talk to every single admin you can. I got 3/4ths of my class to drop the first day and the professor in question is no longer employed.
In my day we just had to tough it out when we got a teacher like that. Heck, I remember a friend got a professor that used his class to proof his draft textbook, for a different course.
@@aliannarodriguez1581 you think we don't have to tough it out? This guy's either lying or one out of like 500,000 to get this chance lol, the thing is, the grade you get after getting a teacher like this now matters more, as it could ruin your chance at getting into an even average college (with acceptance rates so low) and in turn having a good life, as college is what you need nowadays.
i remember a bunch teachers freaking me out because they claimed that their honors classes were impossible (which seems laughable now after how many ap classes i’ve taken) but i was genuinely losing sleep because of this. now i know that when teachers say this they mean their workload is either too inconsistent or simply more strenuous than necessary, making it hard for students to teach themselves the material after spending the whole class period desperately trying to get work done
The irony was that AP courses were harder than the equivalent college courses like English where you had to find meaning in everything but college is like we don't care as long as your grammar is correct.
This is like the inverse of my geography professor, who kept saying that the class was easy if you just put in the work, then told us things that were straight up wrong (we are in the same time zone as New York, and not all fossils are bones), said things in the most confusing way possible (north on a compass and actual north on the earth are slightly different, but the way he explained it, I genuinely thought he was trying to say north was south), and put things on the test that we never went over and wasn’t in any of the presentations. Once a student went up to him for help and said “I don’t understand this” and he just went “yes you do” and sent him back to his seat.
the "this is a level 100" was so real; I had a professor that expected you to fully know the Adobe program he was teaching and it was the introduction course
I finished my last two exams a week ago. The professor who taught macroeconomics was like this. When he said that the grade depends on going to the office hours I felt it in my soul. The man was just pissed at life and lonely af. Teacher like that love the fact their course is difficult and make the exam more complicated each time so you are never full y ready (in Italy you can take the exam as many times as you want)
Mine just make us write down a mish-mash from multiple textbooks and leave. And when you point out that they were absent, they make the whole group write essay on some other topic.
I never understand why teachers think it’s a positive thing that so many students struggle/ fail/ drop out because of a course. It’s like they never seem to consider that maybe they’re just bad at teaching now I’m currently in nursing school and I completely understand why the program has to be rigorous, we’ll be impacting people’s health and lives. BUT there’s a difference between understanding difficult material and applying it accurately. And just plainly having a bad teacher and poorly written test questions intentionally designed to trick students so that most people fail. We had a test where literally only 4 out of a 40 person class received a passing grade for the test. (And they were only 2-4 points above the passing score, so it was still barely passing). In my mind, for a cohort that has typically done well and scored high on the standardized practice exams and is clearly capable of understanding the material, when nearly all of those same people are failing your test, then statistically it seems a lot more likely that there’s just something wrong with the way you wrote the test.
@pinkybro5671 Could be due to people already knowing the material and are too lazy to do it all over again, maybe they just don't pay enough attention, or they simply don't give a shit.
@@pinkybro5671 there's a point where sometimes their lectures are interesting and engaging but their tests are sh*t and I don't know why they make it over the most obscure things
We had a teacher like this. He had failed someone's assignment and when the student asked for feedback on why he failed the teacher said: "that's not part of my job description" ToT
The same thing was happening in my school, but the teachers wouldn't say that their class is hard, they would say that we would all fucking fail and wouldn't pass the exams at the end of the year.Almost everytime she would tell us that it will be very hard to pass and that we will fail and especially me and my 2 other friends.At the end of the year everyone passed mostly with good grades.I hate that type of teachers so bad...
I had a teacher like this and I had to switch out of the class to an easier one because of how bad I was doing 😭 the school actually forced her to change her classroom setup because so many students were complaining
I had a quantum chemistry professor who was absolutely amazing. He was teaching a subject that's incredibly dense and difficult --basically eldritch knowledge that no human was ever meant to understand. And he somehow made it manageable. Not easy, because that's impossible, but manageable. I actually understood the material for the final exam, and im pretty sure most of the class passed without a significant curve. If he can make quantum chemistry understandable, with most of the class passing and most of the class somewhat understanding, there is no excuse for these joker professors to fail their entire literature 101 class.
All of our level 100 required classes at BYU, they also called "weed-out" classes. Apparently they were meant to "weed out" students from the ENTIRE SCHOOL who couldn't handle it. I have NO IDEA how people in rigorous colleges have ANY time for seggs or parties or literally anything other than k*lling yourself over schoolwork and not sleeping.
Last semester at the college I go LITERALLY more than 16 people (me included) failed the same course, just from my class between 11 or 13 I think, and we were 30. Then at the first day of this course this year the teacher told everyone that were doing this course again to haise their hand, then she told everyone that you only fail if you don't go to class and don't submit assignments, I was there most of the classes and submitted all of the assignments Sorry if I wrote something wrong, not my native language
Had a prof like this who spent most of the lecture telling family stories but did pop quizzes so you had to come to each class. When I retook his class, I studied my past exams and assignments to get a better grade.
I hat this type of teacher in a spiritual level. Then suddenly, during exams, they take a selfie of their students answering the questions of their subject. After that, they ask "Is it hard?" then they SMILE like they are so proud for not teaching ANYTHING.
Listen. If a teacher starts their class by saying most people fail their class, DROP THE CLASS ASAP!! Find an alternative. Take that class at a different college. This is a HUGE RED FLAG for a college professor! You want a professor who will teach the material in a way where multiple kinds of learners can understand the material. THAT is what makes a good professor.
I think the best professor story a friend of mine told was a professor going "Most of you failed that quiz. That means I didn't teach you well enough. Let's go over some spots you struggled in and we'll retake the quiz next week." and the class average on that quiz actually improved.
Had a lecturer who sometimes didn't give a shit or gave too much of a shit. He would say that our class was the only who didn't ask a lot of questions but when we did talk, he would stop the lesson to lecture us about discipline. He also said that our class was the only one where the majority would fail, and that we deserved it if we did fail. Overall, he was the one of the worst teachers I've ever had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting.
@@bloom9586STOP BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO😭😭 I have bad anxiety when it comes to raising my hand and asking a question but I saw other kids doing it and the teacher answered normally, and she kept asking us if we had any questions so I asked mine and it’s like the second i finished asking it I triggered a bomb in her, she got so pissed and made a whole thing out of it. I just sat there questioning everything bc what did I do wrong, It was just a question 😭
@@moonparadise7312 This was practically a constant my experience with public schooling in the US. Apparently being autistic and having anxiety makes you "difficult", even tho it usually just meant I asked questions about things they weren't used to hearing. I got yelled at a lot for asking for clarification. Eventually I just stopped trying and let my grades falter. The weird thing is, I usually did well at the parts that confused most of the rest of the class.
@@themindfulmoron3790 oh man, I felt everything you said in my soul. I don’t understand why people who don’t even have the patience to answer simple yes or no questions like a normal person become teachers. At that point just change careers. My question was literally a clarification too, on something she didn’t explain, and she had been requesting questions. But then she yelled at me and wanted the class to go against me, luckily they didn’t because they felt awkward (which made her angrier), but it was humiliating. this is why I never ask questions anymore. I even got bullied by an old teacher of mine for having too many questions (it was a language class, we were literally learning a whole language💀). Like you, I’ve definitely paid the price for not asking questions, I have to pray someone braver will ask them instead. But even tho I don’t learn much or understand most of the lessons, I still manage to pass. Wish teachers were more patient towards students w disorders tho, really not fair to us.
Legit had a prof once like this, class of 30 went down to 6 and only 4 of us passed. It was an accounting 101 class required for graduation but the guy desperately wanted everyone to stay after his class for some reason.
😂😂😂😂 I love these kids. You're all fantastic. I felt frustrated all over again when he rubbed out the board before they saw it omg I forgot I had trauma from that 😂
When compensation is based on how many students start the semester.... but the work is based on how many remain across the semester.... and the evaluations are based on the few who remain you treat well.
The best rigorous teachers I had were the ones where we all passed, but usually had 70s-80s out of 100. It was hard, but not impossible, and you learned a shitton and they made the class so engaging you didnt even care to get a 100 cuz I was having fun. God bless them
The first thing my 9th grade English teacher did when introducing the course was make an acronym for how the class would be HELL and brag about how people were going to fail Dude was proud of it

In general, as I've said I was their favorite professor and they were literally begging me to take DSA II next semester (and they were even grateful for the things that they've learned because of me) so it's apparent that I had their best interests in mind and they appreciated me for it.

@@Cafeallday222 I had a professor that required 196/200 total points (98%), over 2 exams: a 100-point midterm and 100-point final, to earn an A in his class. I went into the final with 96 points. I studied so hard for that final! He called everyone else's name until there was one exam left and held up my exam with white out all over the top corner and said, "you got a perfect score but forgot to put your name on your exam so I'm subtracting 2 points." By the way, he didn't like me because I'd argued with him in front of the class about a sexist remark he made while teaching one day because I was young and idealistic and couldn't bite my tongue, so he'd had it in for me since then. After the final, I'd gone to appeal to him. He seemed to find glee in admonishing me for caring "so much" about an "arbitrary" grade even though I was applying for academic scholarships that required a 4.0 to qualify if I wanted to go to grad school. I couldn't prove what he did with the white out because the exams had to be turned back in before we could leave. It felt like he tried to derail my plans for my career and didn't even care. I went to the department chair and formally requested a hearing. The proff had provided a photocopy of my exam, but withheld the original. I didn't think I had a chance. But when it was his turn to talk, he stood up and shouted that I was a lier and didn't deserve to pass his class. He then shouted that if he could "redo my grade right now it would be an F minus!" Then he stormed out of the hearing. We we all flabbergasted. They ruled in my favor. I got the A. But what a piece of work this guy was!

@@Will140f Dude understood the assigment. Mission accomplished to the T
@@thehappyhound770 Probably accurate. That's a survey course, guaranteed. Inch thick, mile wide, new topic every day, and enough time to introduce and examine each topic but not enough to practice it and examine it in detail which means a lot of homework you NEED to do to practice and get comfortable with each topic. In my experience three out of four students will barely do any homework. Add in a few autodidacts and repeat students who've had the longer exposure to the topic and there's your passing portion.
Lecture style, homework style, test style, none of that matters. Students that don't commit don't pass, and working hard isn't a guarantee if you have a mental block in the logic. I've had students fail who thanked me for how much effort I go through to award partial credit and I've had students fail who hand me a five page test with four blank pages.
Here's my intro for calc. "This is a hard topic. There's no getting around that. You're going to be dealing with a lot of algebra, a lot of symbolic manipulation. All those things you were taught you knew you'd never use in real life, you'll use them in this class. When will you use this class in real life? You won't. This isn't a day to day kind of math, this is a professional tool. This is the kind of math you will never use, or will use on a daily basis, depending on your career choices. Now, the ways calculus is used in the real world tends to be very specific to those jobs. This isn't a physics class, this isn't an engineering class, so I can't give you a 'real' calculus problem because the 'real' problems require context that we don't have, and also take three hours to do, which we don't have time for, and also involve terrible numbers that don't make any kind of intuitive sense. Instead we'll be looking at simplified questions using clean numbers that are either very abstract or very ridiculous, nothing you'd ACTUALLY calculate for any purpose. Any questions? Great, I'll try to make this a fun ride for all."

Ya most of these classes with are gonna be the ones required for your major, the professors know this, that’s why a few feel very comfortable acting like a power trip dick head bc most people there, have to be there. Word gets around quick on a college campus, I promise you know one is signing up for a class with a professor like that unless they have to😅
I had a teacher who graded on a bell curve for every assignment. A perfect bell curve. As in only like 4 people in the class were allowed to get A’s on any given assignment, most people got C’s, and at least 4 people had to fail. As he was explaining his rubric to us on the first day we asked what if there were 10 people who had done equally well on the assignment, why do they get different grades and how does he decide? He just gives the A’s to whoever he gets to first. Seemed like an overly complex system for a literature class.
they always grade on a normal curve as if the American grading system isn't an offset curve to begin with. But even then when over half the class gets below a 60 it's hard to ignore
Sweden actually used a bell curve grading system between 1962 and 1996. It was on a national level (you were supposed to be compared to every other kid your age, in the country). Although occasionally it seems it was misinterpreted to be at a local level.
@@petra1995 Finland still does that, it's for gymnasium (upper secondary school in Sweden and Finland) graduation exams, which can get you in university directly. The grades are descriptive too, not numerical, for this reason I think. They are mostly only comparable to the other kids of that time. For example, the English grades of my and my mother's generation would not be comparable.
that is so stupid
That is how it works in the real world though, college degrees used to get you a high paying job automatically when only a few had them, now that everyone in the most common part of the bell curve has them they ain't shit.
when everyone decides to go to the other professor instead lol
We have one such subject - it really doesn't matter who you get as your teacher.
Until that professor is the only one teaching the subject, or it’s already past the grace period where you can drop the class without penalty.
That’s why mine was the ONLY one teaching history classes 😭 everyone had to go through him.
Yeah the thing that really sucks is this prof isn’t just being a selfish asshole to their students, they’re also actively screwing over their coworkers. Because now guess who has 3x the number of students (and therefor 3x the amount of work)? It’s the college equivalent of being so bad at your job that your coworker has to do it for you.
I'm brazilian and in my college there are many professors like this. I hoped it was a problem just in my country, good luck for all students out there.
I literally had a class where the professor would fail you if you didn’t show up to talk to her before each class because it counted as a daily participation grade. Her quizzes were impossibly specific and covered what we WOULD learn, not what we currently knew.

This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. So funny and SOOOOO accurate
My modern physics teacher did this to us last semester, and as a transfer student I guess I missed the sarcasm.
We met MWF, had homework every day and a quiz every day, he said “don’t ask me for help on the homework until you’ve spent 2 days at least on it (we have 2 days to do it usually), don’t work in groups because I want you to learn on your own, and I’ll also assign notes for you to study that I don’t go over in class (he has impossible to read hand writing)”. (Further context, this class teaches general relativity and quantum mechanics)
However, turns out he’s one of the most down to earth and helpful guys I met. He said all this stuff to scare us into dropping the class if we weren’t dedicated to actually learning the science thoroughly which I appreciate. And, if you stayed after class and went to office hours he would always help you with the homework.
sarcasm? Okay...well. my professor wasn't being sarcastic. And he was terrible. And didn't even know what assignments his TA's were assigning us. I visited his office hours and he asked _me_ for help at understanding what the assignment was. Worst teacher in the world.
This happened to me with a required college course. I dropped it twice.
Just took it online over the summer, and it was taught by a grad student and was one of the easiest classes I took.
Had a simlar experience except I took two courses that were extremely similar to fill in a credit requirement and get my biological one. got a 90% in one and dropped the second one after the second exam.
I had a teacher who actively encouraged people to drop her class because they "couldn't handle it". She made multiple students cry just because of how she talked to them. One of them dropped the class halfway through the year, and when her guidance councillor tried to get her to have a meeting with the teacher before making that decision she started crying and having a panic attack. I almost got in her class a second year but luckily her enthusiasm for putting people down allowed me to quickly leave her class with her help. I don't know how she still has a job
She has a job because money is more important than academics. As long as she’s doing the bare minimum and isn’t breaking any rules, she’s and so is the school. Almost half of my roommates professors shouldn’t be working as educators but you can’t do anything about it once you’ve spent the money on school. Wish we had a way to sue the education system for scamming us out of money.
I had a professor last semester who gave me anxiety attacks. It was awful.
Now I wasn’t there and crying by how they got talked to is a… gendered thing. HOWEVER, that 100% sounds like a teacher you just need to catch outside of school and see if she bold enough to reiterate her exact statements and tone.
@@klove5974 tf are you saying?
okay ignoring literally everything besides the first sentence because this lady sounds so awful, I can actually appreciate the first bit if done correctly. Like i’ve had profs during the first week make it explicitly clear how much work and how difficult a class will be, and encourage us to drop it that week (while there’s still time to enroll in a different class) if we can’t handle it. I also had a prof give the class a pretty difficult assignment on the first day based on past material that we’d need to use in this class and say “ if you struggled on a decent chunk of this, i strongly suggest this class is not for you.” Sometimes the name of a class draws kids in and the content is so much more difficult than they’d expect, so a heads up can be nice lol.
My college professor was SO proud of herself that out of a class of 60+ students that only 10 people may pass her course...it was a makeup hs algebra class. Her excuse for making it so impossible is to teach others discipline because she was able to get her doctorate while pregnant after her husband left her... she reminded you every day beginning, middle and end of the class as ✨️motivation✨️. I dropped but my friends stayed, none of them passed and apparently only 3 people that year passed and no one had an A or B... but apparently there's nothing wrong with that. (The time I was there she spent most of the class reminding us of her story and had you read the math book- she never taught anything in the time I was there)
When you need therapy but are instead given a room full of kids💀
I had a music theory prof like this. She was so pressed that sometimes some people don't call her "DOCTOR". She got pregnant and meaner at 2nd semester. In contrast, my choir prof also had her doctorate but was so nice and had such a good reputation that she was called "Dr Mom" by her students. She never felt the need to remind us that she was a doctor, or that half of us would either change our major or fail out, like all the other school of music profs did. Guess who changed their major 😂
Goes to show how far gone colleges are...when there are "makeup HS algebra classes."
Pro-tip: if you can't do something as simple as algebra 2, maybe don't go to college.
Oh my God. I have dyscalculia and couldn't pass math to save my life. To go in a make up class like that would probably make me boil and accept failure. I narrowly passed my ged program without the kind teachers that helped me along at my pace.
@maxwellshapiro9839 at my school those remedial classes are often utilized for students that had been homeschooled until college and sometimes adult learning programs where you can get a high school diploma through the college and then you get your associates degree there, or as a refresher course before you start your degree program, sometimes students from other countries use them too so they can continue their education here. Personally, I think it's practical to have those courses, the school can't guarantee every student coming in is at the same level, so they give opportunities to catch up to everyone that wants them.
My high school biology teacher is literally exactly like this. I have never seen a more accurate depiction of him. Like he doesn't teach us anything, and then gives us an 8 page packet on what we supposedly learned. He assigned 16 assignments due the next day one time, and then didn't even grade them. I spent 5 hours working on them.
These are the teachers who say “don’t be afraid to ask questions” but when you ask they say you need to pay better attention
I had a professor like this and he was the only professor for that class. The other professor was on sabbatical. He was proud of having a C (United States grading scale) average for the past 5 years. I talked to a student who had the other professor before sabbatical. The 2nd professor had a A- average and on the end of semester reviews 95% of the students understood the material. It was a required course for the pre-nursing, pre-med, kinesiology, and biomed majors to take. I ended up changing majors part way through the semester for an unrelated reason and the class was no longer needed. I got a C+, the lowest grade in the class was a D. Several students are retaking it with the other professor next semester and had to change their 4 year plan.
There is a class at my university that most of the science majors have to take except biomed because we don't have it. And people legit struggle through the course and end up having to take it again. One year she accused an entire section of cheating and she dropped their best exam score. I did not have her thank God but yeah this crap happens.
This is so sad and so true.
i find that oftentimes teachers forget the definition of the word teacher
I had a professor who said nobody gets an A in their class, that they don’t believe in A’s, that the class is really hard. I got a B+ in the class, and she told me that I was one of the best students she has ever had. It ruined my scholarship that semester.
One time I had a professor that told us he didn't know why almost no one passed his classes...
That guy did really expected each one to make a master thesis as part of his course....

god this vid brought me back. i had a professor for organic chem 2 (rough course as it is) get so mad at that around 80% of his students failed his first exam, that he spent the entire next lecture telling us how we needed to put all of our focus we have into his class, even if it meant slacking in other classes (i remember he said something like “you can afford a C in your other classes if it means passing mine”). he also said something along the lines of, “breakup with your boyfriends and girlfriends now, because you won’t have any time for them while you’re in my class.” he provided no homework, no reviews, and answered zero questions. there were 4 exams and the final, and they each made up 20% of your grade iirc. yeah that was the only class i ever dropped at the beginning of a semester. got another professor over summer who was 10000x better-he actually answered questions, would provide plenty of review and practice that he’d walk us through, and provided EC since he knew the material was hard. an absolute godsend and i hope that man is doing well.
"the correlation between academic performance and grade"
HAHAHAHA
I got the "This is gonna be a difficult class. There's another teacher teaching the same class, and it's not too late to switch if you go now." teacher once.
One major proccess I worked my butt off for, and got a b, and was so hyped I litterally couldnt even hear the advice. Valedictorian and multiple dean's lists before this, as well as a chemistry class I got with no effort.
This was a graphic design class. Was super hard, which I never experienced before, but so rewarding. Was the fall, which I graduated chemistry spring the same year. Was harder than even capstone stuff by far, but not as hard as the next semester, Design History. (Started a full classroom, ended with 3 students. I was popping ibuprofen and caffeine like candy to get through due to my reading disability)
I hate educators like this. I took an introductory math course with a nonengaging professor during my first year in college. He flat out said, “Some people stay in college for a while because they couldn't pass this course.” Sir, this is basic math🧐. No wonder his rating is bad on Rate My Professor. He also gave a lot of word problems (my phobia) because, according to him, when he came to the U.S., word problems were scary. When we took our first exam, I knew I had to drop out, especially when the girl beside me was trying to copy my paper. That's when I knew we were doomed. The following semester, I took the course with a different professor and earned an A. I also took an advanced math course and earned an A. I took Statistics and earned an A.
To the professors who brag about students' failure, know that it does reflect your bad teaching and lack of student engagement.
My history class last year was a very toned down version of this lmao
He would constantly say that almost no one passed his tests, and he was right. People regularly did not do well on his tests.
But he didn't weigh the tests the same way most teachers do, instead putting a heavy focus towards homework and lectures. He had so much enthusiasm for what he was doing, he just purposely made the tests super hard so that people who thought they could coast by doing none of the work and just hoping for the best on the test would inevitably have to start putting in effort or risk failing
And I'll admit, I'm one of those low effort people. But it worked, I did a lot more work in that class than I did in any other class, did decently on the tests, and learnt a lot from him.
I had a teacher like this. I remember the first week the class was completely filled because it was a required class. I sat on the front cause I’m blind af and I remember I looked behind me the day of the final exam and there was only like 10 people in the room when it was like a 25 students that first week of class. I hadn’t even notice how everyone had slowly started dropping the class. After I transferred to my 4year college, literally all the professors knew his name because every student that had transferred in had complained about how awful and ruthless he was. I passed with a b and still had awful experiences with him. He just loved to humiliate his students.
professors are literally such losers. almost none of them are intelligent enough or good enough at teaching to act as superiority-complexed as they do. same with doctors.
why is bro exactly like harry osborne from the andrew garfield spider-man 2, bro is maniacal asf 😭
THE CHALKBOARD SOHNDS STOP WITH THE CHALKBOARD SOUNDS
And this is when you get up and walk out and drop the class and go talk to every single admin you can.
I got 3/4ths of my class to drop the first day and the professor in question is no longer employed.
daaamn power move
It's the goddamn dream scenario right there - glad someone finally made it happen 👍
why
In my day we just had to tough it out when we got a teacher like that. Heck, I remember a friend got a professor that used his class to proof his draft textbook, for a different course.
@@aliannarodriguez1581 you think we don't have to tough it out? This guy's either lying or one out of like 500,000 to get this chance lol, the thing is, the grade you get after getting a teacher like this now matters more, as it could ruin your chance at getting into an even average college (with acceptance rates so low) and in turn having a good life, as college is what you need nowadays.
Nice to see video that is both funny and smart. It's time for academics to start teaching not only flexing to show how cool they are.
i remember a bunch teachers freaking me out because they claimed that their honors classes were impossible (which seems laughable now after how many ap classes i’ve taken) but i was genuinely losing sleep because of this. now i know that when teachers say this they mean their workload is either too inconsistent or simply more strenuous than necessary, making it hard for students to teach themselves the material after spending the whole class period desperately trying to get work done
The irony was that AP courses were harder than the equivalent college courses like English where you had to find meaning in everything but college is like we don't care as long as your grammar is correct.
Oh my god requiring going to office hours to get a good grade is so real and so FRUSTRATING
This is like the inverse of my geography professor, who kept saying that the class was easy if you just put in the work, then told us things that were straight up wrong (we are in the same time zone as New York, and not all fossils are bones), said things in the most confusing way possible (north on a compass and actual north on the earth are slightly different, but the way he explained it, I genuinely thought he was trying to say north was south), and put things on the test that we never went over and wasn’t in any of the presentations. Once a student went up to him for help and said “I don’t understand this” and he just went “yes you do” and sent him back to his seat.
the "this is a level 100" was so real; I had a professor that expected you to fully know the Adobe program he was teaching and it was the introduction course
I finished my last two exams a week ago. The professor who taught macroeconomics was like this. When he said that the grade depends on going to the office hours I felt it in my soul. The man was just pissed at life and lonely af. Teacher like that love the fact their course is difficult and make the exam more complicated each time so you are never full y ready (in Italy you can take the exam as many times as you want)
The urge to send this to my professor
yes.
Mine just make us write down a mish-mash from multiple textbooks and leave. And when you point out that they were absent, they make the whole group write essay on some other topic.
I never understand why teachers think it’s a positive thing that so many students struggle/ fail/ drop out because of a course. It’s like they never seem to consider that maybe they’re just bad at teaching now
I’m currently in nursing school and I completely understand why the program has to be rigorous, we’ll be impacting people’s health and lives.
BUT there’s a difference between understanding difficult material and applying it accurately. And just plainly having a bad teacher and poorly written test questions intentionally designed to trick students so that most people fail.
We had a test where literally only 4 out of a 40 person class received a passing grade for the test. (And they were only 2-4 points above the passing score, so it was still barely passing). In my mind, for a cohort that has typically done well and scored high on the standardized practice exams and is clearly capable of understanding the material, when nearly all of those same people are failing your test, then statistically it seems a lot more likely that there’s just something wrong with the way you wrote the test.
Kid in the front broke out laughing, good stuff I like that they kept it in.
Been looking for this comment! I agree!
Theres a duality to this, my professor was really good at teaching the material and went in depth but many people still failed
How were they good at teaching if most at people still failed? Sounds like you’re arguing with arrogance.
@pinkybro5671 Could be due to people already knowing the material and are too lazy to do it all over again, maybe they just don't pay enough attention, or they simply don't give a shit.
@@pinkybro5671 there's a point where sometimes their lectures are interesting and engaging but their tests are sh*t and I don't know why they make it over the most obscure things
The office hours thing is so true😂
We had a teacher like this. He had failed someone's assignment and when the student asked for feedback on why he failed the teacher said: "that's not part of my job description" ToT
Just dropped a class with a prof like this, I’ve never felt so good
that’s what my teacher said and the beginning of the year and everyone has a A in his class (he claimed it was hard 😭💥)
Psyk you up to work hard, and then make the class easy, it's all part of the plan
Sometimes it's fun to put a little fear in people. 😂
@@lucystoner FR LMAOOOO 😍🤭
@@everxalicex did'i siyck you out?
The same thing was happening in my school, but the teachers wouldn't say that their class is hard, they would say that we would all fucking fail and wouldn't pass the exams at the end of the year.Almost everytime she would tell us that it will be very hard to pass and that we will fail and especially me and my 2 other friends.At the end of the year everyone passed mostly with good grades.I hate that type of teachers so bad...
I had a teacher like this and I had to switch out of the class to an easier one because of how bad I was doing 😭 the school actually forced her to change her classroom setup because so many students were complaining
Maybe you weren't doing bad, Maybe it was the teacher's shitty job at well, teaching.
In my college they always said- 10% of material you learn here, 90% you learn yourself
then why the f did i pay money for you???
@@Exoepxoe One girl asked this exact question.
The answer was- diploma. You're buying diploma
@KIT2142LAW "What college isn't a scam. What are you talking about?
I had a quantum chemistry professor who was absolutely amazing. He was teaching a subject that's incredibly dense and difficult --basically eldritch knowledge that no human was ever meant to understand. And he somehow made it manageable. Not easy, because that's impossible, but manageable. I actually understood the material for the final exam, and im pretty sure most of the class passed without a significant curve.
If he can make quantum chemistry understandable, with most of the class passing and most of the class somewhat understanding, there is no excuse for these joker professors to fail their entire literature 101 class.
“In my 35 years of teaching”
Bro he does not even look that old.
my bio 101 teacher treated it like a weedout class and not the most basic level that everyone had to take
All of our level 100 required classes at BYU, they also called "weed-out" classes. Apparently they were meant to "weed out" students from the ENTIRE SCHOOL who couldn't handle it.
I have NO IDEA how people in rigorous colleges have ANY time for seggs or parties or literally anything other than k*lling yourself over schoolwork and not sleeping.
Ok him writing behind his hand is absolutely hilarious
Brooooooo I have that teacher! 😂 she's proud of it too. This video is so accurate!
Holy crap I am so sad for you!😮
Last semester at the college I go LITERALLY more than 16 people (me included) failed the same course, just from my class between 11 or 13 I think, and we were 30. Then at the first day of this course this year the teacher told everyone that were doing this course again to haise their hand, then she told everyone that you only fail if you don't go to class and don't submit assignments, I was there most of the classes and submitted all of the assignments
Sorry if I wrote something wrong, not my native language
"Unit two" at the end 😂😂😂😂
I took one class like this in college. The only course I have ever dropped and don't regret a THING
Had a prof like this who spent most of the lecture telling family stories but did pop quizzes so you had to come to each class. When I retook his class, I studied my past exams and assignments to get a better grade.
I hat this type of teacher in a spiritual level. Then suddenly, during exams, they take a selfie of their students answering the questions of their subject. After that, they ask "Is it hard?" then they SMILE like they are so proud for not teaching ANYTHING.
Listen. If a teacher starts their class by saying most people fail their class, DROP THE CLASS ASAP!! Find an alternative. Take that class at a different college. This is a HUGE RED FLAG for a college professor! You want a professor who will teach the material in a way where multiple kinds of learners can understand the material. THAT is what makes a good professor.
I think the best professor story a friend of mine told was a professor going "Most of you failed that quiz. That means I didn't teach you well enough. Let's go over some spots you struggled in and we'll retake the quiz next week." and the class average on that quiz actually improved.
“It is not my job to teach you.” - actual quote from my bio teacher
Had a lecturer who sometimes didn't give a shit or gave too much of a shit. He would say that our class was the only who didn't ask a lot of questions but when we did talk, he would stop the lesson to lecture us about discipline. He also said that our class was the only one where the majority would fail, and that we deserved it if we did fail.
Overall, he was the one of the worst teachers I've ever had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting.
my professor yelled at me because i asked a question but he was fine when other people ask something 😭
He is amoody mf
@@bloom9586STOP BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO😭😭 I have bad anxiety when it comes to raising my hand and asking a question but I saw other kids doing it and the teacher answered normally, and she kept asking us if we had any questions so I asked mine and it’s like the second i finished asking it I triggered a bomb in her, she got so pissed and made a whole thing out of it. I just sat there questioning everything bc what did I do wrong, It was just a question 😭
@@moonparadise7312 This was practically a constant my experience with public schooling in the US. Apparently being autistic and having anxiety makes you "difficult", even tho it usually just meant I asked questions about things they weren't used to hearing. I got yelled at a lot for asking for clarification. Eventually I just stopped trying and let my grades falter. The weird thing is, I usually did well at the parts that confused most of the rest of the class.
@@themindfulmoron3790 oh man, I felt everything you said in my soul. I don’t understand why people who don’t even have the patience to answer simple yes or no questions like a normal person become teachers. At that point just change careers. My question was literally a clarification too, on something she didn’t explain, and she had been requesting questions. But then she yelled at me and wanted the class to go against me, luckily they didn’t because they felt awkward (which made her angrier), but it was humiliating. this is why I never ask questions anymore. I even got bullied by an old teacher of mine for having too many questions (it was a language class, we were literally learning a whole language💀). Like you, I’ve definitely paid the price for not asking questions, I have to pray someone braver will ask them instead. But even tho I don’t learn much or understand most of the lessons, I still manage to pass. Wish teachers were more patient towards students w disorders tho, really not fair to us.
Legit had a prof once like this, class of 30 went down to 6 and only 4 of us passed. It was an accounting 101 class required for graduation but the guy desperately wanted everyone to stay after his class for some reason.
"In my 35 years of teaching, only 4 people have passed this class." XD 😭
its crazy how true this video is
Meanwhile my professor said it's an easy class and at the end everyone got shit grade
or the just do better on the next one and then goes on an exponential curve of difficulty and the final is CUMULITATIVE
They probably thought it was easy. However if they're an expert on a subject their judgment on what "easy" is to a novice might be a little skewed 😅
This is too spot on it's making me have flashbacks.
😂😂😂😂 I love these kids. You're all fantastic. I felt frustrated all over again when he rubbed out the board before they saw it omg I forgot I had trauma from that 😂
When compensation is based on how many students start the semester.... but the work is based on how many remain across the semester.... and the evaluations are based on the few who remain you treat well.
The best rigorous teachers I had were the ones where we all passed, but usually had 70s-80s out of 100. It was hard, but not impossible, and you learned a shitton and they made the class so engaging you didnt even care to get a 100 cuz I was having fun. God bless them
honestly I feel like this is the exact speech I got in general chemistry one
The first thing my 9th grade English teacher did when introducing the course was make an acronym for how the class would be HELL and brag about how people were going to fail
Dude was proud of it
