Who was the worst teacher you have ever had?

Question

What was the person like?

Answer 1

MSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssss. Perez.

Not Miss. Not Mrs. Mizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. That was her first rant.

Then undivided attention. "UNDIVIDED ATTENTION" screeched at the top of her scrawny lungs.

Someone walks in the room "Don't look up!!!" and "Keep working" is screeched to the class.

27 years later and still remember the 30-something hag like yesterday. Obviously, there was no effective psychological screening of these maniacs.

I once signed and printed my name on a paper and was told I was arrogant.

If she's still out there and reads this, imagine every 10 year old you've ever taught giving you a great big finger and recalling your screeching and your stupid cartridge pens and your anger issues but having no recollection of what you actually taught. Oh to see her today and spew back a fraction of what she did.

Gosh! I feel better. Thanks!

Answer 2

A small man with a Large name. On the first day of class he announces that he doesn't usually teach this subject, but the school forced him to. He then takes the rest of the year to rush through the material, and insult those that can't keep up. I failed the class with a big fat F. Took again the next year with a different teacher, who by the way was amazing, as well as addicted to nicorette, and passed with all A's. Goes to show you what a good teacher can accomplish.

Answer 3

My parents.

It is amazing that you don't even need to pass a basic biology course to make a baby. I know it would be a gross civil rights violation but I almost wish there were mandatory birth control until prospective parents could prove they are capable of parenting. I know it could (and should) never happen (who would determine capability?) but isn't the need to protect the innocent at least as important as individual rights?

Sorry, I know that doesn’t answer your question, but I do believe children are taught by everyone they have contact with. I also believe in accountability. I applaud the (school) teachers who get the degrees and attempt to make a difference. Unfortunately many eventually lose hope; they meet too many obstacles with parents, friends and environment that they cannot overcome. I don’t believe it’s possible to get an honest answer to your question. As long as the teacher shows up and attempts to teach, and there are no abuse issues, they are doing what is required of them. Sometimes they just don’t connect with a student and the relationship might become adversarial. Trying to get through to students who would rather be anywhere else is a very difficult job. Teachers aren’t saints but in most cases, they aren’t the sinners some students make them out to be. Sometimes people just need to put a name on their own failings. Unfortunately, teachers volunteer by their choice of career to be the scapegoats of unhappy adults.

By the way, I am not a teacher and don’t really know any personally.

Answer 4

A horror of a history teacher - junior in high school - just the a$s end of the human spectrum. Followed closely by a wretched Money & Banking professor in college who had never worked a day in the private sector and was as judgmental as a television evangelist. I had a few that couldn't speak English that were far superior in both attitude and ability to teach!

All said and done, however - the wonderful ones far outweighed the awful ones.. else I'd have never made it through school.

Answer 5

My song instructor in grade nine, Mr. M_____r. He used to be balding at the most sensible of his head, however nonetheless had semi-lengthy hair at the aspects. He wore rounded glasses with brilliant blue rims. He had an insane hungarian accessory and he hated each person who wasn't as well as him. He used to be particularly boastful and not ever close up approximately what number of CDs his trumpet gambling is on. He despatched humans to the workplace if their SOCKS are an additional colour both than black, despite the fact that that wasn't mentioned within the get dressed code. He used to be impolite, egocentric and yelled at each and every possibility. Bloody hell that magnificence used to be.

Answer 6

I had a management professor in college that was absolutely worthless. He was about 5 semesters for retirement and all he wanted to talk about was how he could win stuffed bears at state fair carnival games. We never talked about the actual class. I have no idea how I managed to make a C in that class without us ever covering anything.

Answer 7

7Th Grade Social Studies teacher. I shall withhold his name out of respect for the dead, but this guy wore the same damn suit everyday. He would write assignments on the board and that's it. There was no teaching or education of any kind. You basically taught yourself, but when you turned assignments in and it wasn't to his standard he would give you low grade or fail you. I would say to him, "I put the same effort into learning this as you did teaching it." Needless to say I got sent to the office for being insubordinate. If he could see me or should I say work for me now. He was a douche bag!

Answer 8

Mrs. Bump. Sixth grade teacher. Meanest teacher I ever knew of. My mother joined the school board and got her fired.

Answer 9

My 8th grade art teacher Miss Farkas.

She had a temper on her like a hellcat in heat! I swear, you could start a betting pool on who would be the first kid to call her a *female dog*. She ruined lives, I know it. She also gave me a lousy B+ and ruined my gpa. I didn't get another 4.0 until college.

Answer 10

My 9th grade general science teacher. She was WAY too old to still be teaching, for one thing. (Honestly - she had to be pushing 80!) She could not hear well, and she was completely unable to relate the material to ANY of the students effectively. She did not BELIEVE in A's or B's because in HER opinion, NO student was above average, let alone outstanding! Straight A students were struggling to get D's from her. I was getting A's & B's in my advanced classes, but got a D- from her because I didn't recite the periodic chart of elements to her satisfaction. (I think I got something like 6 of them wrong!) I had earned good grades in every science class I had before hers, but SHE made me hate science! I never took another science class! (Good thing I only needed one credit in science to graduate back then! LOL!
