Mmm, but, as it said in the title, no names, so taking the stories at face value, is it not perfectly acceptable to heap scorn upon such 'teachers'? After all, we don't know who these people are, the people posting the stories could be exaggerating, or could have misinterpreted events.

And really, have any of these stories contained people you'd consider -good- teachers? (Or people for that matter). It's not exactly calling all teachers bad, just the ones that do the sort of things detailed whether in this case they're true or not.
So it's alright to heap scorn upon faceless people who cannot defend themselves

Teachers put up with a lot of administrative bullshit, get paid very little considering their qualifications and are treated like shit by parents, the media and their own education department.

The reason you can read and write is because of a teacher. The reason you can count is because of a teacher.

If you don?t like a teacher, fine. But don?t ridicule them because you don?t like them. If they did questionable things, then report them. We have teaching regualtions for a reason.
Yes, insulting faceless people is ok. And, seriously, you're wrong. My parents taught me to read and write before I was 5. If parents are treating you badly than you're treating their kid badly. I could count before I was 5. Why? Parents. So, no. I have learned more from my parents than teachers, especially with their "give homework to teach it" approach.
Students learn when parents work with teachers rather than against them. When this happens they might learn how to compose convincing arguments and develop solid values that see them avoid mass generalisations and stereotypes.

My 6th grade teacher she hated me because I had ADHD, one time the inside of my desk wasnt clean so she grabbed my desk and dumped everything out and told me to pick everything up. Another time I was asked to turn off the lights so the class could watch something on the projector and I didn't know which switch turned off the lights, she called me stupid, and called my parents to tell me how stupid I was.

My art teacher.

What that ***** did was outrageus.

We were supposed to draw natural beauty or something, and i drew a womans body. Then she started calling me a pervert, and wrote me a 2 ( an F In usa).
The other day i walked into the art room, and i found another class drawing the same assigment, and my picture was putted up as an exaple WITH HER SIGNATURE ON IT. I called her a fucking ***** and went straight to the principal.
The look on her face when she tried explaining it was priceless
That is the most awesome thing ever.
You win half a cookie. You win the other half when you read this.
I can basically yell most things out in class and not get in trouble. Such as below:
"And that's why you don't smoke cigarettes" (Physical Education Theory)
"But what if the dirty hobo in the street tells me to?"
and also...
"And his wife tells (so-and-so, can't remember) to kill King Duncan, and when he does--)
"[Name]'s wife told me to kill [Name]. Does anyone happen to have any ear poison on them?"
"Anyway--"
"Ah, don't worry, I can just use the missile silos"
And other mentions about teacher stereotypes such as the red apple or coffee.
I asked one teacher what this important meeting in the Science staffroom was about. He said they were practicing singing for variety night!

Mrs Leslie Pether. I know you said no names but I don't care. She was my teacher in year 6, (when I was 10/11.) A mega-***** who hated children and me in particular. Hated being proven wrong. Yelled at me once for pointing out that contrary to her recent statement, not all streets in town were named after trees. Yelled at me again for a late library book that wasn't actually late they had just substituted stamping the book for printing out reciepts. Yelled at me again when I pointed this out. Yelled at a friend of mine for backing me up and then yelled at me again for "bringing him into it". I had a page in my free writing book reserved for drawings and statements about how much I hated her - which she saw once and literally wrestled the book from me to have a better look. Strangely enough that was the one time she didn't yell at me. It was probably really hard for her to see that one of her students despised her to such an extent. She was probably a very unhappy woman.

I would feel bad for her but a few years ago she wrote a primary school science text book, (the kind that get bought en masse by schools,) and is a very comfortable millionaire. Not sure if she still teaches.

my 9th grade math teacher (last year), she would usually go on and on about how she could afford whatever she wanted, and how she had a pro-wrestler for a husband

everyone except one person failed the class, and he barely passed with a seventy five.

i honestly think she would count the answers as wrong on purpose, since most kids in their didn't care to be in that class and obviously wouldn't check over the problems.

i'm just glad i don't have to deal with her this year (and hopefully not any other year)

In grade 7 my worst teacher may have just been the district I was in. Teachers that taught by giving homework, if you did the work and got 100% most of the time they accused you of cheating and gave you detention, during recess if there was any bullying the teachers on guard duty (I think just a glorified smoke break) wouldn't do anything even if there was real injury. Before going to the school I was rational, quiet, loved school, avoided fighting at all costs, which was hard as I was recovering from a broken femur a year back (unrelated to school) and was on steroids to help my leg muscles get back to normal. Almost forgot, the school had a policy for bullying, "If [teacher's name] didn't see it, it didn't happen. The kid probably just fell on his own." After being beaten every other week by the same guy, at the end of the year on the last day of school, knowing that I would be moving out of the state made sure to get revenge. During gym instead of something we just were to sit and do nothing, it was the only class the other guy and I had together, so I ran up behind him, tapped him on the shoulder and punched him right in the face, he ran outside and I chased him down if the coach hadn't held me back (barely holding me back mind you) I would have knocked him out at least, but I guess the coach had me in a choke hold because I blacked out after a few seconds. The only reason I didn't get in serious trouble is because we chalked it up to my prescription and general frustration. The only thing that really changed about my personality thanks to that school was I now hated school with a passion.

the geometry teacher I had in Freshman year of HS.

I really never knew if she was just rather new or something? Or maybe that she was just uncomfortable about my class or something. But she was a really bad math teacher... just gonna go ahead and say.
Not meant for the advanced class.

We still liked her and she was nice to us, and we treated her well. Some people were assholes to her, but thats no good... I mean, seriously? She wasn't blatantly horrible at the whole thing. There was just a matter of helping along with it as well. And she was BETTER by the end of the year. Not by much, but I never heard anything else about her after I had that class.

I think she just had to learn her own little niche for teaching.

worst (in every way) teacher.
was the FIRST biology teacher I had in high school. Just a jerk, didnt answer questions when he didnt want to and would be corrected sometimes and then would just... ugh. Bad times.

Most incompetent: Year 9-10 maths teacher. Nice enough guy but had absolutely no control over the class and couldn't explain anything in a way that made sense.

Hates me the most: Year 11-12 English teacher, this is probably partially my fault though, at the very beginning of year 11 she asked if anyone truly hated english, I was the only one to put my hand up.

Creepiest: Year 8 english teacher, was arrested a year or two later of child pornography charges.

I love my school...

My eighth grade math teacher. The guy was a prick. He cruely graded homework. If you didn't have a paragraph of work, he gave you a C or lower. But I'm happy now cause Karma is awesome. After I got out of middle school, now I'm a sophmore, the students now play pranks on him.. Worst was a tampon in his coffee. He even broke down in class and cried from all the crap he was dealing with.

my current anthropology teacher, who teaches nothing but evolution but says that theres no missing link. Paradox much?
What pray tell is this missing link? I could have sworn Evolution is the unifying theory of Biology, and pretty much fail-proof...

But on topic, I have never had any truly bad teacher like some of you other guys have had. I've had annoying teachers, and teachers who simply didn't care. My 3rd and 4th grade teacher was a *****, who complained about my handwriting all the time, but it has been far too long for me to still give a shit. My 8th grade health teacher simply had us answering questions from the book for the entire class. My 9th grade speech teacher (ludicrous subject btw) made all the required speeches two mins longer than the other teacher of the same subject, and was generally a *****. To be honest, I haven't even thought of these people until I read this thread. I'm a senior in college now, and I frankly don't care about some idiot teacher I've had ten years ago.
So here's some advice for those of you who are stuck with asshole teachers: you'll move on, you'll have other teachers, you'll make something out of yourself. They, however, will still be teaching the same class, year after year after year, stuck in a perpetual loop of misery and agony. Think about that :)

My former bio teacher. She would grade us based on how well her son did in soccer, and would regularly go to google to look up answers (and often get them wrong anyways), and did I mention losing papers? Losing papers, my friend holds the record for handing in the same thing 6 times and her losing them (and when I say hand in, I mean litarraly hand it to her, or email). His parents did not care what he got in that class due to her sheer incompetance. And When I handed in my textbook last year, she didn't mark it off, so if my parents didn't believe me about her being full of shit, we would have had to pay 70 bucks for it. Also this isn't a demerit to her teaching skills but when we disected fetal pigs, she would eat her lunch afterwards without washing her hands. And honestly she's not really a mean teacher lady, but a incompetant teacher.

edit: wow this is an old thread, i already posted a shorter version of this in nov.
So I'll tell you about my brothers 1st grade teacher. My dad would pick up my brother each day from school and basically get yelled at that he was a brat. And finally once when the principal was in talking with them he laughed at something she said. When my dad picked her up she said that he needed to be put on medication because he was out of control. My mom was ready to agree with her based entirely on what she said ("SHE'S A PROFESSIONAL!"), but my dad talked to the pricipal, where she said your son's not the problem, she is, she does this to all the parents who pick up their kids. And thanks to that me and my sister didn't have to go to her class, we went to the other 1st grade class.

I had an elementary school teacher who hated my guts, partially because my older brother had gotten on her nerves when he was her student and partially because I was the smart kid in class (too smart for my own good in her opinion). On two separate occasions, she simply neglected to check my last answer on a test. I should've gotten perfect scores for both tests, but instead got 9/10 simply because she wouldn't give me the last point for answering the last question correctly. On both occasions, I called her on it and she accused me of fraud, saying I had added the answers to my paper after she gave them back. Even when I had classmates sitting around me to back me up, she refused to admit that it was her fault.

I think this is part of why I now have such a lack of respect for people in positions of authority. My childhood basically consisted of repeatedly learning the lesson: anyone with authority is a self-righteous, incompetent bastard.

Oh, and in Psych, I had a teacher who decided to talk about the study that proved that talking about yawning will cause people to yawn and when people yawn, regardless of the quality of the lecture, they will be bored. He kept this up for two hours. To this day, I'm convinced he's either trying to get fired or really hates students.

Maybe you can make a "Worst student you ever had" thread?

To give both sides a way to express their feelings.

My Year Twelve (Grade Twelve to some of you) Accounting Teacher. That guy was mentally incompetent. He claimed to have been an accountant for some years before becoming a teacher, and I doubt even doubt that, but he had no idea how to teach. We learned the most reading the textbooks and ignoring what he was saying. In fact, that was the only way we learned anything at all. Turned what had been a great subject in Year Eleven into a terrible one.

My Western Civilizations professor. In addition to not staying on topic and taking his sweet time doing role in class that was only 50 minutes long, he sounded like Don Knotts. Made me want to puke.
