My Year 3 teacher, so exasperated that that she could not control the class, held a boys head (one of my friends actually) down onto the table so that he got a nose bleed and was forced to go to the front office, then home. For 8/9 year olds, that was pretty scary.
In Year 7 I had an art teacher who I would swear was stoned off her face most of the time, and broke down crying more than once. I remember when we had to do some crappy project, I'd left it to the last minute and spent an entire weekend writing this massive thing, and when I got it back I was glad to see that I'd gotten 30/30, until I noticed that the kid with the really poor handwriting who'd written his 2 page assignment on the train trip there on the wrong artwork also got 30/30. Everyone got 100%, it was a fucking disgrace, who does that?
My Year 11 Maths teacher would make you come out to the front of the classroom and complete problems in front of the board, and you could not go back to your sheet until you finished. If you were there for too long, she would go over it like a personal tutor would, while 30 other people watch. Over time I came maths turned into something I enjoyed to something that I would dread. This teacher was well suited to teaching small groups of people harder stuff though, I've heard that she's very good at that, but at teaching a large class she failed.
