It's a nice discussion, so eh.

What terrible teachers might you have encountered over your years of education?

When I went through the last couple of years before "high school" I had a language teacher that had a most wonderful habit of giving me the same grades over and over again. I could have written Shakespeare level essays and she would still have given me that C+/B.
The same kinda went on with my math teacher. Always the same grades, always the same noted of needing to do something that I thought I had already done.
One time I wrote a project on body language. I got a C. I asked them (as both were my supervisor) what I could have done better. Their answer was that if I had done the presentation better, I would have gotten a B. Nothing on how to get an A, nothing on what in the written part that might have improved my chances of a better grade, just the knowledge that I might have gotten a B if my presentation had been perfect.

Same goes for my language exam a year later, before going to "high school". I got a B because I had forgotten to mention how many frame shifts there had been in the ad I had been analysing. Something I had actually mentioned to her, but told her I would put no time into because so and so.

My "high school" teacher in English was no better, but I think it is time for your stories now.

ha! finally! i can complain about my awful teachers to other people!

i have one of the worst science teachers.... ever. she basicly teaches us nothing at all. we had a sub once.... i learned more in that class then i did the entire year. its awful. i have litrally fallen asleep like 3 times in class. i never do that, thats how bad this teacher is. and then the teacher gives us a quiz on something she doesnt ever teach us. so annoying. the teacher is constantly repeating 1 thing that she told us, and then quizes us on 5 different topics. whats even better is i have a hugh science project and i have almost no idea what i am supposed to do.



and it has nothing to do with me getting on AG in the middle of class....or me sleeping in class

My worst teacher? Definitely my seventh grade English teacher. She was old and cranky and would always yell at us. That's the only grade I did bad in. Right now, and in my other grades, I have had an A in English. That class? F. D:

A teacher some of my friends have is so stupid.
She asks you for your opinion and when you answer she says your wrong.
Or she asked "if your dog dies what emotions would you feel"
"I'd be sad...." and then she says "That's not deep enough"
And they're like WHAT!?!

I've only ever had a single really bad teacher, but it wasn't even an important subject, just Music. His lesson plan was horrid. 50% of our mark depended on this number of different tasks (around 12-18 every semester). The class was large, and we only had 5 or 10 minutes a class where we would work on them. So basically, unless you gave up your free time during the lunch break or after school or something, you were pretty much going to fail. We had this series of quizzes at the end of the semester. There were about 4 written tests, and 1 or 2 playing tests. I'm assuming we were supposed to use our own knowledge on the written tests, but by the end of the first one the questions were based on information that was way beyond what we were even doing. People just used books to find answers. He was also a bit psychotic, but in a funny way. Also, his class was always before lunch, and due to his many rants, we would always stay in class up to 10 minutes after the bell rang. Not fun.

TL;DR: Bad lesson plan, kept us in late, only way to pass is to give up large amounts of free time.

Just recently I got a Science teacher I HATED. She was old, stupid,and NOBODY got an "A" in her class. So me and my sister used to fight over who's teacher was worse. Turns out, it was the same teacher, she just got married.

>_<

The teacher I had in my first class was just horrible. In the second school day in my first class, I didn't know what book I was suppost take, then I asked my teacher and do you know what she did? She just pulled my ear very powerful and she took the book out my bag and put it on my deck. After that my ear was hurting the whole day. And there the same teacher (I didn't renember if it was the first or the second class) so there was guy that asked to the same teacher "Can I go to the bathroom?" And the teacher was just holding his ear and pulled him than she somehow pushed him out of the class. Now that was just mean, the first twomschool years I thought that was normal, but then I was going to another school and discovered that what my teacher did was just wrong. In first class we had only one teacher.
