Once a PE teacher gave me a warning for being inside a school building during lunch hour (as in somewhere other than in, or on the way to the canteen), later she see's my twin inside a school building and told him he doesn't get a warning because I got one and he should have somehow known, so he got punished because of my failure to use non-existent twin powers to locate him and warn him, or use telepathy to warn him, also a different PE teacher punished a boy for not having kit, despite his leg being broken, because apparently the cast didn't count as a signed note from a parent.
I threw a snowball over a teachers head and he responded with forcing me to the ground and pushing his knee into my chest, couldnt breath for about 5 seconds.
And i was about 8 when it happened.

My 7-8 grade Math teach absolutely hated me since I have never been able to split my focus between the lecture and notes, rather I was able to simply learn by watching and listening in class (naturally fairly smart + ADD). Now she had a different philosophy, she believed that every student must take notes in order to learn otherwise obviously you weren't paying attention and were being disrespectful... not really sure how as she refused to ever explain that one to me. Eventually I began sitting in the front of the class to taunt her until she decided it was time to call me out in front of everyone, instead of alone like previously, stating, "If I am up here writing the notes on the board, it is only fair that you write the notes in your book." I just laughed at her and said "no, no, no, If you want to be fair, then really only one of the people here have to copy your notes, everyone else is just a bonus for you." She didn't take this well and sent me to the school dean. He upon reading her vague report and asking me what happened, found it funny and told me though i did nothing against the rules, to try not to fight with her anymore and not go back to class that day. suffice to say i didn't listen to that. (Proud to say i ended up making her cry in the end 
)
Another of my teachers at one point told a friend of mine to "sit down and shut up" when he was in the middle of having an asthma attack and was panicking because he couldn't find an inhaler. suffice to say she didn't last to the end of the week.

I had a science teacher in eighth grade who my mother described as "a burnt out roadie who took one too many LSD trips". He was wholly incompetent, and every time you tried to ask him a question or had a problem, there would be this pause where you could tell he was just trying to process this massively taxing request, and then all he could ever come up with was "Bummer dude". One time, a kid managed to use a glass stirring rod with so much unnecessary force that he stabbed through the bottom of the beaker and then THROUGH HIS HAND. The teacher didn't even look up from his guitar, because apparently he was in the zone or something, and another kid had to call 911. He had ZERO REPERCUSSIONS for this act of irresponsibility.
Year 5 teacher. A couple of juicy examples of derp from her. She tore up my friend's work (that he thought was the best he'd ever done, and it probably was, it was really good) for not trying hard enough, in Year goddamn 5. She told me not to take the Lord's name in vain and gave me a detention, despite the fact I hadn't said something like "Suck God's cock", but instead had said "Oh my Lord." And then, we did a MEGA project (like a three-month homework) about a river in the world of our choice. I took it in, and someone graffitied on it (incredibly maturally, they put an extra 'o' in the River Po). She said it was probably me and gave me a week of detentions. My mum went in and had a shouting match. She got fired for being a ***** soon after. I love my mum
My grade 4 teacher's opinion of me roughly paraphrased...
What is this?! A boy who doesn't like sports and would prefer to read?! He must be autistic! Let's put him in "special" classes with the kids with SEVERE and debilitating mental disabilities. E.g. Vegetative state down's syndrome children.
She wasn't fired, but my parents had quite a bit to say to her, the principal, and the school board. The whole thing lasted about two days. I got transferred to a different school and we moved at the end of the school year.

You had to walk (or made cross-country ski?) to the cabin? Wow. Good on ya manCyfu said:

You're telling me that because wikipedia is dynamic it's not valid? That makes no sense. If anything, ALL of the books and other static sources of information are completely invalid because they do not allow you to change it when new discoveries are made.Suki_ said:

On highschool I had rather charismatic math teach who was half communist and half wannabe italian. I used to but good at math but thanks to him Im now 4 years behind because he just presumed that we were all stupid and so he never bothered to teach us anything. Most of our lessons he spent minding his of math, smoking or complaining how terrible our country and west-inspired world is.
Can't complain. I have had some very good teachers over the years.
I have even had a Discrete Structures course from the person who introduced Computer Science to Pakistan in the first place and built the Pakistan Navy's first computerized systems in the 1970s and he was responsible for building the University and started with his own old books that he had used as a student in the US, he was the Director of the university till 2005 when FAST-NU was the top Computer Science university in the country and was well known in professional circles abroad. He wasn't too good at teaching at his old age but thanks to him I know Prolog which wasn't even in the course or supposed to be taught at all. Still, I don't exactly envy the people who had to learn C or C++ from him.

Well, I didn't know that, but then again, I'm not a history teacher.Shock and Awe said:

Reading most of these...most are horror stories, but a few I'm thinking ''nobody likes a smartass''. Teachers are charged with controlling a room of 30+ kids, changing (in the UK anyway) 5 or so times a day, including at least on average one in every group who just doesn't want to be in school or insists on being disruptive (exceptions for learning difficulties). I'd certainly come out not entirely invested in my job.
You're joking, right? A static source is no more reliable than a dynamic one. A static source is just as easily able to be unreliable.Suki_ said:
Do you recall the whole "tongue mapping" stuff you learned when you were younger? They taught you from a book, i.e. a static source. Turns out the tongue map is entirely invalid. By your logic, that shouldn't be possible.
With wikipedia, however, things are able to be added as new discoveries are made. In order to correct static sources, you have to do a reprint, costing thousands of dollars and causing problems for people who aren't aware of the update. That's why it's perfectly valid.
Pretty much all great teachers, except for one Spanish teacher. Oh, she is a lovely person when not speaking Spanish, but according to some people she taught a college level course to a class of juniors. The difficulty would be okay, except you were not allowed to speak English, lest you want your grade to drop a point. I love ya, Mrs. Jones, but you are crazy.
Three come to mind:
First my Social Studies in grade 7 that would actually grade you on your projects based on artistic skill. No reason given why she did that. Also, she almost flunked my best friend on a test because there was a blank piece of paper with someone else's name on it. Lastly, she would give us notes during class and take them back at the end of class so nobody could ever prepare for any tests.
Second is my French teacher from the same year. She would spend half of the year talking about the school charity she was part of. It got to the point where she would actually have us work on projects for the charity instead of doing her job.
Lastly there's my Indonesian Studies teacher in grade 8 (at a different school mind you). The only reason the school still has him employed is because they can't find a replacement for him. He's an awful teacher who never teaches anything. Also, there were rumors that he watched porn at school, but I never particularly wanted to confirm that rumor, for obvious reasons...
