What was the Worst Teacher you Have Ever Had?

My Spanish teacher is a complete idiot, she is a nice person but her teaching methods are breathtakingly stupid. Her idea of giving us work is to have us rip up index cards into fours and write vocab words on them but what she doesn't realise is that we can't take the cards home to study because she won't let us. Instead of us using a notebook she has us rip out pages from our notebooks to create a packet she calls Mis Palabras. We are supposed to keep this packet which would have served us perfectly fine in our notebooks, in good condition and keep it updated because she will randomly check our packets and grade them. What we put in Mis Palabras ranges from homework to a sort of web diagram that has ten words branching of a single subject. She will make us color these web diagrams because...well she just wants them colored, it doesn't serve a purpose she just wants them covered. She also loves to give us work involving the computer, whether it be online homework to a powerpoint she always seems to be looking for as many opportunities to make us go through the frustrating process of typing in Spanish and making accented letters all on these terrible computers. The desktops are all positioned so close to each other you barely have enough room to use your mouse, and the laptops are practically all junk because a lot of them are missing a lot of keys. Today we had to make a table in Microsoft word that had all the vocab words for a chapter, we were copying them from the book and we had to save them to the public server so that she could grade how well we could copy down words, that is litterally all we were doing just copying down words from a list.

And another thing she does: In my class there are two kids with the same name and I'm one of them and my teacher constantly refers to us by our first name, her logic is that we should know that the kid who's not me comes first I come last but this logic doesn't really apply when she is trying to call one of us to her desk and all she's saying is "Alex, come here". I don't understand why she can't say our last names or call one of us Alex and the other Alexander or something.

I'd like to say it was the one who would flat-out lie to the class every day and treat the classroom as a platform for pushing her political agenda, but sadly I've had worse. The worst has to be the religious f*ckwad who made kids feel like sh*t if they did something that didn't fit into his agenda. I remember one time he lectured a girl in front of the whole class on how she was going to hell because she ordered a Harry Potter book from those book order things, and another time when his harpie of a wife lectured the class on how only instruments used in classical music were real instruments. That whole family was made up of a bunch of miserable f*cks who were trying their hardest to make everyone else as miserable as they were, and they were using the school to do it.

Sounds like someone's been to one too many professional developments. My worst was a Computer Science grad student, who clearly did not belong on stage, teaching students. Try listening to a man stammer, from nervousness, through a lesson for a hour.Travo_basic

My art teacher, man did i hate art. I literally did nothing for a weeks until he got fed up and kicked me out. He gave me a 1 years worth of homework and said if i finish it i'll pass. I never did so I had to retake same class the following year with the same teacher and same sh*t 1 years of homework.haha. It was a awesome because it didn't have to show up to school until 10:15

Ohhh definitely my spanish teacher, this fool would be humiliating people when they didn't know the answer and just generally acted like a massive prick Alyways talked about the white man being the "Cause of all evil and everything wrong in the world. Got fired for hitting a kid, etc, etc

A cooking teacher who suggested that the inexperienced kid cooking Fried Rice had some sort of mental disability just because she's not perfect at it.
Shame.

Had an Indian maths teacher who couldn't speak English very well, big impact on the teaching, really annoys me when you get teachers who for some reason can't teach very well, should be stricter on who teaches.

The math teacher I had in 7th and 8th grade who would fall sleep in class every day.

; at the beginning of a class he'd choose a definition/concept, talk about it for a few minutes and deviate into some personal story for the rest of the class. It was entertaining at times, but we learned nothing. flipin_jackass

7th grade homeroom. She calls individuals pathetic and insults them. When a kid crys, she told them to suck it up and be a man or woman. Her teaching methods were alright more or less, she was worse than rulebook strict.

Core teacher, doesn't shut up, and if you don't talk gives quizes, also she sucks at math, people who can't do simple logic are morons.

Also in elementry school one teacher asked us all our religion, uhm why? And kept asking this a lot for some reason. She also was quick to label people stupid who were smarter than her.

She spoke broken english and had no idea how to teach the class.

Gym teacher, who I swear to this day, lowered my grade because I wasn't on the football team.

i had a teacher that insult all the class mates tell people if they had kids she would do everything in her power to take it away tell us all were going to fail.....yea im ganna let my mind explode if i ever so that stupid b!tch again

I had a 79.7 in my spanish class and she refused to give a B....I was mad

Anyway college Algebra sucked bad the professor taught in a way the book didnt and was awful in explainations

An art teeacher was such a b!tch she literally destroyed my interest in art for several years.

Now I have had teachers who are bad at doing their job before (aka teaching us what we are supposed to know), but she was the only teacher I have ever had that didn't just stop at bad teaching, but literally making me hate the arts. And yes I was young enough and dumb enough to take my anger out on the subject itself as opposed to just her.

I had a boring Bio teacher and ended up failing the class cause he would bore me to sleep. (And my best friend was in that class , that didn't help).

• Um My architectural design teacher sucked too. Told us to draw something on sketch up and that was it. Didn't learn anything from that class.

• My psych teacher sucked the worse though. She would constantly lose papers of me and my partners (the way she had the class set up was whoever sat at your desk with you was your partner year round) and me and my bud noticed she constantly lost our stuff and only our stuff we told the principles and she goes "they just don't do the work" and one of our posters was "misplaced" and while we were all argueing on how we do the work and hand it in my friend walks away and back into the classroom (were on the outside) and he goes to a closet and pulls out poster out. Turns out he seen a part of it and knew it was ours , yeah we asked her about it and she goes "well how did it get there oops" right in front of the principle who told us to go back in the class and I guess reprimanded her. It sucked. We both passed but literately it came down to our final.

• Sorry for the long paragraph.

My 7th grade Social Studies teacher. He was too harsh with some things and was a bit rude.

Social studies 8th grade was a mess,

1st term was great, had a good old fella that had been teaching for years he used to drift onto storys but was good enough to still get us to do our work and he made everything interesting.

Then he had medical issues so he retired early and 2nd term we had this cow of a teacher, she had only been teaching for 2 years, was still in her 20's and i tell ya sexist as hell, i went from an A in first term to a C by the end of the semester.

Luckily they got rid of her haflway through 3rd term tho and we got one of the permanent teachers that was good at her job and got us learning something.

My science teacher back in Middle School. That was my first class of the day so i'd always show up tired and one day she pulled me aside and asked if I was on any drugs. I told her no, i'm just always like this whenever I wake up.. I don't think she ever believed me. :lol: Oh well..

I also had long hair back then so I guess I looked like a stoner.

Thank god I have short hair now, what the hell was I thinking.. :P

My physics teacher in elementary school was a complete nutter.

My english teacher in el. school was a sexually frustrated 30 yold woman.

My maths teacher in high school was angry all the time and would always discharge that anger at me.

Life has been hard for me:(

[Insert religious teacher here because they're bad people or something]

Political science professor who talked really slowly and really quietly. It was next to impossible to stay awake for his whole class. He was a real jerk too. He passed out the syllabus and, as with every class, everybody just stuck it in their notebook. Then he got all mad an insisted that we read it right then and there. Pretty much just used the class to indoctrinate us into his political beliefs as well, which has got to be the most ignorant thing a person can do. They're supposed to be teaching you how to think and make your own decisions, not just brainwashing you like a braindead toadstool. Ugh.

Runner up goes to my philosophy professor who would speak a sentence and then write it on the board. Good grief, why don't just pass out your 2 paragraph lecture, let us read it, and then send us on our way. And he was a fairly young and seemingly intelligent guy too. I dunno, just a terrible teaching method.

I've had plenty of bad teachers.

But the worst ones that I've had were in high school. My Grade 9 French teacher topping the list. He had good teaching methods, and I managed to pass with an 86% in his class. He was, however, a jackass from the ninth circle of hell. He never explained assignments and instructions well enough, and the majority of the students never met his expectations (for instance, we would find out the day we present the assignments to the class that we had to memorize them on cue cards, when he never told us at first). He would never help students if they had any questions, and most of the time, he would just flat out make fun of them for asking. Everyday, he was dissing someone, for no reason other than because he felt like being a jerk, or he was having a bad day, or both. He would always abuse his power; he hyped himself up to be this HUGE authority figure and blah blah blah; when he was only a French teacher. He would kick kids out of class for completely no reason as well.

He is also a HUGE favourite picker. He was a real friendly, fun guy to the students that he liked, but to the ones he didn't like...boy, did he make it obvious. And it just so happened that I was one of the people he didn't like, as were a few others. The price at stake included tons of scrutiny, tons of missed classes, and tons of disrespect. His favourite students in the class were all the popular people whose parents were involved at the school. His favourite student was the star of the basketball team (sports were very valued at this particular school, I've always viewed it as a "sports first, education second" type of school), and his mom was one of the gym teachers and coaches at the school. He would bring the teacher hot chocolate every day before class as well. I still feel the burning cyclone of vitriol and contempt in my stomach to this very day.

Hmm... let's see. My geography teacher (who happened to my commerce teacher as well) had no control over the class. We spent every lesson doing almost close to nothing. When it came to exam times. The people in my class used to cheat like crazy. E.g Opening the textbook right infront of him copying word for word. He didn't care. I mean most of us got full marks all the time. I wonder why.

My 4th grade teacher was evil. she was a sadistic and cruel mistress who had the horrifying ability of turning her eyes into one solid shade of gray so she could scare us into quieting/settling down. She even acknowledged this herself on the first day of class ("The worse thing that ever happened was last year when i had to show my class my grey eyes because they wouldnt quiet down...") Looking back, i think she may have been a reptillian...
