what's the Worst teacher you have ever had. No names please

[Cylem]

Ninth grade band teacher had another job teaching elementary school, so she bailed out half an hour early every day (not that it made much difference) and left us all with her pretentious croc-and-socks-wearing Teacher's Assistant. The same thing happened in ninth grade P.E., only the TA was a douche and just made us run laps while he played football with the buff guys.

It was especially annoying when the TA took his pants off to play. No one cares how hot it is outside, no one wants to see that.

Currently I'm part of the CORE-Plus Math Curriculum which automatically makes all who teach it suck. It dissuades actual teaching and tries to get us to learn via "team-work", meaning the class average for all four of my teacher's periods are D's.

Teachers seem to like me just because I'm quiet.

My 10th grade English teacher. She was so mean and got angry for absolutely no reason. She'd yell and then make everyone write definitions from the book or make us write an essay on why we were behaving badly and on how we can change. She also dressed like an old lady and she was only like 24. She always had it out for me. Blaming me for stuff I didn't do or just randomly telling me I'm wrong, even if I was right.

So one day I had enough. I got her phone from her desk and showed her text to everyone in the class(Some pretty funny stuff). I got suspended for 2 weeks but I didn't care. I made her lose any respect she ever had with any student. I won

My 12-grade pre-calc teacher. I had him before for geometry and he was fine, but he didn't seem to know anything about calculus so he would spend half the class answering a problem only to find he made a mistake so he would then spend the rest of the class trying to find the mistake. I went from having an A first semester with a different teacher, to just barely scraping a C- with him. The only reason I passed was because a friend in the class taught me everything. I also had a calculus professor in college who seemed to think that everyone knew calculus coming in so he never explained anything. Ever. A friend of mine had already taken calc in high school and knew everything coming in, but still got a C. I failed that class so hard, but got a B when I retook it with a decent teacher. Sometimes I hate how teachers like that can get tenure.

Wow, reading some of these, i have nothing to complain about.

Mine's not as bad as all the others I'm reading here, but I did hate this guy nonetheless.

Junior year in High school, the Psychology/Sociology and World History teacher. He was in his mid 60s, and his wife had been my teacher back in middle school so he thought he knew me. He had already had my older (genius) sister as a student, and expected me to be exactly like her. Fuck that.

His "teaching method" was to sit his fat ass at his desk, hand out a worksheet, wait for everyone to turn it in, then read from the textbook. In his dry, monotone voice.

I know the title says "No names please," but it's necessary for this part of the tale.

He had a huge sign made and hung on the wall over by me that said

Rule 1- Mr. Clark is always right
Rule 2- If it seems Mr. Clark has made a mistake, refer to Rule 1
Rule 3- When it is apparent that Mr. Clark has made a mistake, refer to Rule 1.

While he was reading from the textbook, I'd just put my head on my desk and try to sleep. He'd usually call on me to answer a question, and I'd always agree with him. One day he was "lecturing" about WW2 and said, "...and that's how the Nazis won the entire war. Right Aaron?"

I said, "Yup. Nazis something or other."

He told me I had to pay attention, that the Nazis didn't win, and if I wasn't such a useless lump and more like my sister I would know that.

I pointed at his sign. "...But Mr. Clark, you said it and according to your rules you're always right."

He left me alone from then on. I hated that guy. Such a shitty teacher.

My school is horribly overcrowded so I had a maths class that was formed from a really smart group (Mine) and a really... challenged group. The teacher would spend most of the lesson mollycoddling the "challenged" and then spend five minutes at the end asking if wed had any problems, of course, if we had one there wasnt enough time to sort it out. If it werent for my infinite pot'o'luck I would of have struggled through the rest of my schools math courses

 

[DoctorWhat]

Not quite as bad as some of the above, but my maths teacher in 2nd Year (8th or 9th Grade I think...) had a system:
Correct Homework
Give Homework
Give out sh*t to anyone who didn't understand Homework
Make anyone who didn't have Homework done do it again 50 times per question.

He didn't teach us anything and we were expected to know it all.
However, a month in we realised that if no-one said that they had a problem with the Homework, and everyone said they had it done he wouldn't check it, so no-one ever really did it from that point on.

God, we had a lot of catching up to do the next year :-D

My current, soon to be former Computing teacher. He has very limited knowledge with the language we use (Visual Basic) and when he doesn't know what he's doing he rambles on about how he used to write software for Apple computers back in the day. He's had a vendetta against me ever since I pointed out that he was teaching the class a pretty crappy way to convery binary numbers to deniary and has been trying to screw me over all year since, trying to get me to come in on days off and such like. If I wasn't retaking this subject, I would be royally screwed for this year's exams because everyone else in my year bar a few people don't have a clue how to do most of the work and by the looks of things he's going to be fighting for his job when the exam results come out as the majority of people will have failed the course (in the January exam, 2 people in my entire class got a C or above, one of them being me). I will be happy to see the back of him. He also has hygeine issues.

My PE teachers were a darn nightmare. They made us run a goddamn mile before doing 1 and a half hours of sports. All the time with that damn run... they made us run 1 and a half times around this bloody huge field and timed us. It was horrible for an unfit, lazy person like me. It didn't benefit me in any way either, it just made me hate exercise all the more.

Sadistic wankers...

 

[Iron Mal]

I had some pretty bad teachers in my last school but in retrospect we did make a sport out of getting rid of them and making them resign so I'm probably not in the position to complain.

 

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

Kirk Hammet gave me a guitar lesson once...

 

[aww yea]

a pedophilic english teacher that had trouble believing i was good at english, just not for him

i like to think hes dead now

 

[Skeleon]

The worst teacher I ever had was very, very nice, explained stuff with easy examples and was always understanding and friendly.

However, the exams he made us do where about thirty times the difficulty of any of the examples we had ever worked on during the lessons.

My grades alternated between B+ and E+. Never anything inbetween. Not kidding.

My college writing teacher, she literally failed me because I tried to correct her.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

My Biology teacher in 10th grade was the most disorganized and inattentive person I've ever met. She would do things like say to the class:
Her: "So, you'll want to check the handout for the homework tonight."
Us: "You didn't give us a handout."
Her: "Oh, well it's all on the website."
Us: "What website? What's the URL?"
Her: "It's on the handout."

My Chemistry teacher for AS level.

He left 4 weeks into the course.

 

[roboosh]

You'll find this hard to believe but my R.E. teacher is actually Illidan Stormrage so yeah that class is pretty stressful.
