Have you ever felt genuinly sorry for a teacher?

You what I'm talking about. There's always a teacher everyone constantly steps on or acts extra rude to for no particular reason. For me, it's my vice-principal and my science teacher. They're both nice enough guys, but everyone seems to berate them with terrible behavior and insults. They get suspended of course, but still, it happens alot. My vice-principal is divorced with 2 kids, one of which plays for the worst basketball team in our league. People call him a creeper for no real reason other than he's friendly. My science teacher just happens to be new. Nice guy, good teacher. No one listened to him. When we review last year material, everyone acts as though he didn't teach a thing. Like it was his fault. Of course no one learned. No one shut up long enough for him to complete a sentence.

Do you know any teachers in your school that don't deserve the reputation they hold?

I had an old fat man that was my Algebra II teacher. Oh my God...

He could have had students arrested for what went on in that class. From verbal assault, to destruction of property, to terroristic threats, to physical abuse. I remember an occasion when the electricity went out and everyone ran to his desk and stabbed him with pencils.

I remember a lot of kids would torture this Math Teacher, Mr. Addis.

He seemed sad a lot, and eventually retired last year. We just learned he died from cancer 2 months ago. :(

Yes. I had a geometry teacher who was very nice , but no one listened to him. They would be very rude.

LMAO....*ahem*...thats horrible!!

My sophomore band teacher. Was a pretty cool guy, but new at the teaching thing. And many of the **** in band took advantage of this and made fun of him. I'm not sure why, but our band teacher took all the bull**** the guys thew at him. It got ugly too.

I mean, once a few of them grabbed the piano and two guys chased him around the band room while one of them played music on the piano. They also slammed his fingers on a door and destroyed 1000 of dollars worth of band equipment. They took the fire extinguisher out the last day of school and ruined the place. The teacher tried countless times to stop em, but they just refused to. Lotta drama that year...

He was fired.

Yeah, I thought it was funny at the time, since I wasn't one of the kids actually attacking him. I still feel bad about how he was treated.

yeah my SRC teacher was a vietnam vet who obviously had some emotional scars. He always had a pencil in his sock (in vietnam he always had a knife in the same place)

a lot of people made fun of him, and just joked around at him. Poor Mr. Gross (yeah, thats his name)

In 8th grade I had a tech ed teacher named Mr. Lacerda that was really nerdy. He rode a motor scooter to school every day and also biked on a regular bicycle around town wearing a tight spandex suit. He stuttered really bad and so because of these things people made fun of him but he wasnt that bad so I felt bad. Then these kids used to talk to him about bike riding becuase they thought it was funny and he finally figured out they just were making fun of him and he told them "you guys aren't my friends, your just making fun of me!" The final thing was when this kid John pulled a prank on him and hid adult diapers under his desk and then in the middle of class went under his desk and pulled them out and said "Hey, what are these, Mr. LaStutter?" So he went home crying or something... i just felt really bad for the guy.GeForce2187

I can't remember how many times the cops had to come over and calm things down. And no one admited to destroying the equpment. People just pointed fingers thought a few of us know who it was. I'm not sure why no one said anything.

:lol: I think one of them served time though; he was a bad kid.

That made me really sad. How can people be so mean? :(

A teacher I had that fits the bill was named Dr. J (yes he wanted us to call him by one letter). Anyway, supposedly he had formerly worked for Pfizer as a proofreader of the clinical trial reports and had a lot of stock options that made him rather wealthy so he retired to teach high school physics. Anyway, the guy was a little physically deformed. His back arched inward more than it should and his legs were a bit uneven so he waddled back and forth when he walked. He also had a lazy eye, was overweight, and smelled terrible.

What made it worse was that he had a lot of catchphrases that didn't make sense and he said them every class. Since he was so predictable someone made a Bingo card and distributed different copies to everyone in class and we would play bingo everyday based on his catchphrases. At one point somone actually stood up and yelled BINGO in class. Another time before class started one student decided it would be funny to hide all the chalkboard erasers. Then about 5 minutes into class the teacher realized what had happened and got really angry. It was also pretty common for students to steal copies of the quizzes from an earlier class and sell them to our later class. There were a lot of little things that made me feel bad for him.

There's like 3 Nam vets at my school. My math teacher, Mr. Vining was in Vietnam. He's a really nice guy but all the kids hate him because they get in trouble for always talking. How could anyone treat a Vietnam veteran like that?

Jeez you guys have some messed up kids at your schools :?

Oh and my 6th grade science teacher, Mr. B was new at teaching and no one listened to him, they'd shout and talk while he was teaching and one day he just broke down and started crying.

I had an art teacher who was openly gay and got a lot of crap for it. I felt so bad for him, he was one of my favourite teachers. :(

That's terrible. One teacher in middle school admitted that she was lesbian towards the end of the year. She left the year after, but no one that I recall gave her any problems. Many students and faculty gave her nothing but support. This is a middle a school in San Francisco though, so the tolerance level is a little higher lol.

I tried not to laugh but that's hilarious even though it's mean. Good thing you underlined that for me, outbreak, or I would've never seen that.

But yeah, Not many people do that in my school because usually most kids know when to stop fooling around and where the invisible line is.
