one of my 5th & 6th grade teachers really fucking sucked
i dont know how they hired her
she pretty much had a designated “stupid kid” row where everyone there got dumbed down work and shit like that
she also really loved the spyware stuff on our computers, at some points we literally werent able to do any assignments in our class because she blocked the websites we were working on
definitely the worst teacher ive ever had (i had her class for 2 hours a day btw)
While not necessarily a bad teacher, if you are giving a talk to young children about bullying and one of them asks what to do if a teacher bullies them, you probably should not give the response “a teacher would never bully you”
It’s not going to make children feel safe if they are being told directly that the people who are meant to help them won’t listen to them if another adult is treating them poorly.
If I was in that situation again I would have challenged them about that but I was quite young at the time and though that I would probably be yelled at or punished (which is also not the sort of environment you want to have in a classroom)
I had a teacher who would keep arguing with students about random stuff, constantly be distracted by random kid being vaguely “not listening” and derail the class, had never made their own assignments (everything they made homework could be found online which meant kids just yoinked the answers), barely checked work at all (almost everyone passed with flying colors), barely taught at all (gave everyone the answer to the test/quiz before hand), and was over all a prick to deal with.
Worst part? Most other teachers were like “oh, give her some slack, she ____” and most students were literally pulling pranks in the background.
She literally only had beef with the “problem” students (anyone who did something she didn’t like that she actually noticed) and she barely paid any attention to the class.
Like, c’mon, at least teach or try and look like you are. You literally just told us to do an assignment, then worked on correcting in class really carelessly, and then argued with children.
You know the saying of “don’t be around people who make you feel like you’re walking on eggshells”? This teacher was that person.
Old guy that was a substitute for elementary schoolers.
Every class, no matter what, we did stretches because “it was good for us.”
He walked into the girls locker room in the middle school multiple times, always pet the girls in my class and told the boys they’d look good in shorts.
But with me… he liked me a lot. Never did anything, but offered me a ride home a few times my dad was late to pick me up or I was walking home.
He later got fired as a substitute and wasn’t allowed to work as a teacher anymore.
There was also my home ec teacher, 8th grade. She… had a problem with me. And kids that weren’t white. And anyone really. But mostly the kids that weren’t white, straight, or cisgender.
She punished entire classes when one kid did wrong, often yelled, defended outdated info someone would always prove wrong with a google search, and she made me often work alone for everything because she liked making the girls happy, and none of the girls like the quiet, bullied kid.
had one driving instructor who was a massive stuck-up about phones in class
not in the car, in the classroom
even when we were just waiting on the bell
then when we were driving he drove me into the wrong lane while looking at his phone (thankfully didn’t hit anything/anyone)
That old teacher that tell me to get off from class just for not buying her old “Communist evil” propaganda when it’s actually Indonesia government who that killed a million people and use “communist” as a scapegoat
World language teacher that never figured out how to manage a classroom, ended up getting 20x less time on tests for the whole class even though I didn’t do shit, and I believe they ended up resigning soon after? (unsure) (that class was hell bc middle school students)
Social studies teacher I hated that ON THE YEAR I HAD HER decided to stop teaching SS after I was thinking “I’m finally done with this teacher” and start teaching all honors math classes in the year I was going into (I’m in honors), and then had 2 billion things going on, phasing in and out about 10 times throughout the year, making us have literally about 10-20 different teachers, sometimes substitute, sometimes temporary, sometimes her throughout the year. Literal supervillain activities going on here, I hated her in social studies and she somehow forced me into a second year and made it 20x worse (btw my friend failed that class bc of the teachers changing) (he’s a good student)
Another social studies teacher that left halfway through, also that class was full of annoying people bc highschool
English class that kept bullying this one girl and teacher tried but didn’t do much to stop them (Mostly consoling the girl, not stopping the cause, even sometimes defending students)
I am not ACTUALLY married. I said “wife” as a slip of the tongue once because we call each other our wives (or spouse or husband depending on day for me) and just went with it.
I had a teacher who I will simply call Auriel Ars that unironically beefed with the 8th graders in my algebra class for no reason and made us watch videos more than actually teach lmao
There’s also my current Japanese teacher who I’ll call Toa Prik who yells at my class like every day for some pretty unrealistic/unreasonable things. I kinda agree with her sometimes but oh my God she’s so overly excessive.
I spent way too long coming up with names that were puns
I was fine with most of my teachers. I just kept to myself for the most part and did what I was told. Other students probably had their reasons to dislike them.
If there is one teacher I really didn’t like all that much, it’d be one of my 6th grade teachers who taught Social Studies and ELA. The amount of times she’d singled me out for whenever there was something wrong really makes me mad to this day. There was also this substitute who’d covered for her whenever she was absent, and he had a tendency to punish entire groups if someone was deemed to be problematic. As my luck would have it, I was in those groups nearly all of the time.
There’s another teacher I didn’t like a while back, it was in 8th grade. I didn’t like how she handled things while teaching overall. And there was this personal narrative assignment that I absolutely hated because it expected a fricking full-fledged novel from a moment of our lives. Because I didn’t want to share anything about my life as it either felt too personal or too dull, I slacked on the assignment. It was also then where I wrote that I hated her and thought she had a big nose. That certainly got me into some trouble.
About a month later as we got into our next unit, she came out to the class about her ethnicity.
The book we were reading for that unit was “Night” by Elie Wiesel.
