Basically every math teacher I had from middle school until I was a sophomore in college sucked ass. It just doesn't come easily to me, and that's no one's fault, but at least TRY, damn it... I took precalc twice at my private school before I tried taking it at a local community college. I ended up with a B. I decided to follow up with my Calc class there and managed a C. They were the only ones who ever gave enough of a shit to actually help me. I haven't had good luck with Chemistry teachers, either... well up until this semester. The guy I've got now has explained to me in 5 minutes concepts I have been trying to grasp since high school. And I suck royally at Chemistry- Ds being the standard grade I get in it, but this semester, I have a B. He's that good. Plus it helps that he's hot as hell.
Any teacher that wouldn't let me go to the bathroom. I would ask twice, nicely. If they still refused I'd say 'Fuck it'! and dart out of the classroom as if I had to go worse than I really did. Got written up a few times for that. I didn't give a shit, my view was simple at the time. If their indoctrination process doesn't allow for routine bodily dumps then it needs to be re-examined and adjusted. I'm not going to hold a bladder full of coffee (which I had to drink to be functional at 7:30 in the morning) while you drone on about jargin that will in no way affect my later life. I'm not in the mood for it and I shouldn't have to be. It made me feel trapped, and I didn't like that. I dropped out my sophomore year. Passed all the tests, with flying colors. But I would never do the homework. Plus I had so many write ups for shit like that, just one more and I would have been out anyway.
Most people in this thread seem to simply be lazy shits, and consider any teacher who wouldn't cater to that "bad". I had a few creepy pedo ones, including one who was fired for interesting relations with an underage girl.... that is, the underage girl he was CAUGHT with. I had a few ones that meant well, but where god awful teachers and didn't know shit, and/or who lived in a puritan fantasy land. I had a lot of teachers who marked my answers wrong because I knew the subject better than them. Some of them would concede if I argued, or would make a good point and have an honest debate about which answer was right, and some would just go LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING. No, most of them did that last thing. I had an algebra 1 teacher who graded mostly based on knowledge and appriciation for the dallas cowboys. I managed to get a b- or something, somehow. One day, when he finially realized no one was doing homework, he explained that if he had his way, he'd "beat ya with a chain... you'd do your homework THEN". So, yeah.... But I had some really great teachers too....
the worst "teacher" i ever had was during my first year of junior high. it was a coach who was one sick fuck of a nazi sadist! the motherfucker hung me out of a second story window, by my right arm, and swung me around until my shoulder became dislocated. my "parents" never had any backbone whatsoever when it came to authority. their philosophy of life was, "you got to go along to get along" and, "i don't want any trouble with the school." it got so bad that year, that i tried to commit suicide several times, and i tried to find ways to make myself sick so i could advoid school. my "crowning achevement" was when i cut off my one of my big toes with a buzz saw so i could avoid school. after i got my toe re-attached; my doctor threaten my parents, that he would call child protective services and report them for parental neglect, for not protecting me from that sickie sadist nazi and the school. now at 54 years of age i still have a complex and, there is nothing i fear or hate more then authorty! :smash:
Wow, that is beyond screwed up, that anyone could get away with that. I've been lucky in that I've had some extraordinary teachers- ones that really helped to open the minds of students, and some mediocre ones. The only "bad" teacher I can think of would have been a sub I had in first grade. She was just plain mean. I remember an activity where we all took turns reading, some students were having problems and she became more and more frustrated. Finally she started yelling, telling us we would have no recess and no lunch. Kids started crying and acting scared of her and at that point she became embarrassed of her bitchiness and was alright for the rest of the day. Other than that, I've had some pretty great teachers.
100% RIGHT ON!:2thumbsup: in high school my social group was the "freaks." all the other social groups and the school staff called us "losers".... WELL FUCK THEM! a friend of mine from our "freak" group named cindy, had this biology "teacher" named colman who was always a first class bitch in heat with pms thrown in. lucky me! my biology teacher was one mellow dude... he was like a kitten or puppie. colman was notorious for forcing people sit through her classes with full bladders and bowels. one day, cindy was demanding that she had to go to the loo... RIGHT NOW! colman would not let her go. cindy stood up and threw everything off her desk and yelled at colman, "FINE! YOUR TO BLAME FOR THIS ****!" cindy stomped up to coman's desk, dropped her pants and took a monster dump on the floor. she then grab some papers of colman's desk and wiped her ass with them. cindy got supended for 3 weeks for cussing out a "teacher" and taking a dump in class. after that colman would let anyone go to the toilet when every they asked. my guess is she one one hell of a reperimand for that incident. the next school term colman was not longer at the school.
the worst teacher i ever had was also one of my favourites a wonderful lady, trained to be a math teacher - she somehow managed instead to get a job in my school in the i.t department. i'll always remember her classes, her reading from a book and just writing it on the whiteboard - but the distinctive thing was one afternoon, when she turned around point blank and said "someday i hope to get one of these computer things." doh.
I had one terrible American History teacher my junior year of high school. It was pretty hard to complain about him since everyone else loved him because he let you use your cell phones, sleep, and eat in class. I thought he was the worst because he let the rich kids get away with late assignments (I mean late as in an assignment from as far back as 3 months ago) and he'd befriend them creepily. Plus he sat there while we read the textbooks ourselves and gave a couple unnecessary assignments every so often like giving us markers and a huge piece of paper, put us in groups and tell us to draw things that have to do with some small event during WWII that wasn't even on the test, and then long tedious assignments like the time we had to write ten letters back and forth from a soldier during the civil war...really 20, because we had to write the imaginary person's letters too. And it had to be more than 200 characters per letter. It was so pointless. And it's a shame because I love history. Just not American. It's too boring and filled with slavery, farming, and british settlers.
