I'm too scared to tell. At least I didn't get the worst grade. Someone who didn't care got a 13. She especially hates this one student who, while a bit of a jerk to her sometimes, she seems to be mean to him at any provocation. She also yells at another kid who I'm friends with a lot.
Worst teacher you had?

I had a few arguably bad teachers, but there's two that I hated the most.
- The main one I remember most is my High School Graphic Design teacher. Our final exams were 75% reliant on the the work we would do in that class for 2 years, as well as the written exam at the end.
We chose our own projects to work on and the stuff I was doing was based mostly around drawing and stuff I would do on the computer, so I went to use the computer but for some reason he just wouldn't let me use it at all despite it being part of the resources we WERE allowed to use. This went on for about two weeks worth of 'lessons' where I was sat doing nothing because I genuinely needed to use them for my thing. He let other kids use them, just not me.
At the end of a lesson he asked me why I wasn't doing any work, to which I replied "because you won't let me use the f***ing computers". He said that I could use them but I would have to stay behind on all my breaks and dinner times to do so (despite him letting his 'favorite students' do it in class). He said if I didn't, I wouldn't be allowed into his class for the next 2 years.
So anyway, I refused and he didn't let me back in for 2 years. He made a big point about how I had no chance at completing the course without him since he was the only Graphics teacher at the school. Other teachers kept telling me that I should just swallow my pride and apologize for being disrespectful even if I was right, but I didn't. I just sat in an empty class room for two years when I was supposed to be in that lesson...
And two years later I went into his office, rubbed my A grade in his face and called him a useless c**t. My proudest school moment.
- My high school maths teacher was also noteworthy.
He was one of those teachers that really loves sports and tend to ignore any students that won't sit there and talk about sports with him. I'm not into sports, so I largely got ignored.
Ultimately, I ended up failing maths.
When I went to collage and did music however, I took Maths alongside it to get that grade. Funnily enough when the teacher actually helped me, I ended up passing in only 3 months.

Well, this teacher isn't nesseciarly bad, but she's not a good teacher. Shall I say librarian
She's the Liberian at our school and she smokes. Every hour or so she leaves the building, and as we see her driving away her window is open, and she's smoking. Her breath smells like smoke, and when she coughs it sounds like she's trying to cough up a lung. It's really scary >.< And she Dosnt even call me the right name even though I've stated it to her many times. She acts like I'm 5 years old. She overdoses us on candy. Everything we do. We don't wanna get fat lol

cool artist
I usually have pretty nice teachers, or at least I can tolerate them/not really talk to them a lot, but this last semester my AP Art History teacher was just...ugh. I was told the course was going to consist of a formal analysis (of formal elements like color, line, lighting etc) and period architecture, but it turned out to basically be that you were graded on your subjective analysis of the painting--how it makes you feel, what the artist was trying to convey etc, which I think is total BS because the same painting can mean different things to people.
She also yelled at me for "knowing too much" about one of my favorite paintings and classic marriage/feminine values. She gave me like a 60%/F for knowing too much. And then in my next essay when I tried to dumb it down and not do such an extensive analysis of the content I got a bad grade for "knowing too little." Afterwards she also constantly would ask me hard questions in lectures starting with "since you know so much about art history you should know this." So much sass. So little professional conduct.
I was also told that 350 words was a long essay in her class. Like 3-5 pages is a short essay for most of my classes.. It felt like a trap to be writing 350 words for a "long essay" while I submit an 11 page long essay for another class.
I didn't even take this class because I need it, I just thought it would be fun. I want to go into Human Resources Management lol, so I'm dropping it next semester, even thought I still got a good grade. It's just not an enjoyable class and I don't need it.

Meh, all of my teachers I have in the past have their ups and downs.
But that's probably because I became such a teacher's pet after elementary school.

If you don't want to get in trouble, you can go to the principal's office and tell him/her how strict or mean your teacher is. So you aren't publicly telling her that she's strict, but she'll realize that. Reporting a bad teacher is better than complaining in class (which wasn't a good suggestion of mine).

oh, you know the answer, my friend... i've told you allllll about 'em...
7th grade piano teacher. Once, I couldn't get something right, so she got frustrated, screamed at me and made me feel like crap. I was 11 or 12, so being yelled at whilst I was also frustrated at myself for not getting it was just really overwhelming. I remember nearly crying. It was like a school keyboard class too, so she needed to chill.

I don't remember having a teacher as bad as everyone in this topic seemed to, so how my personal worst teacher isn't determined by their behavior, but the way he runs his classes.
The teacher in question was supposed to teach on Enterprise Information System. Here are the problems I had with him:
- The topic the teacher actually taught us about is basically "How to properly run an enterprise" disguised as Enterprise Information System, as proven by checking the list of classes applicable for the final exam. Aren't we supposed to learn on how to manage an Information System throughout the enterprise? That is misleading.
- He doesn't try to make his classes entertaining enough to maintain the attention from students ; outside of the virtual enterprise management, all he does is blabber and blabber information so much it drags on and on
- Every single theory exam (including the final exam) relies too much on memorization rather than actual skills, and that's bad in cegep because it adds up a lot of time needlessly.

My 7th grade prealgebra, an 8th grade class, teacher. She literally just rold us to copy the notes and do our homework. No teaching at all. Ugh. And then, after we signed up for classes and saw our recommendations, I find out a kid with a 76 got into Algebra 1, a high school course, over someone else with a 96 average because she liked the other one better.

So basically that kid had to retake the class

My advanced Physics teacher last year refused to teach. He would sit in front of the class and bad mouth us all for failing the tests, but when it came time to learn the material, he would put a powerpoint up on the projector and flip through it. If somebody started talking, he'd be all: "Guess you guys already know this.", then he'd turn it off.
I wouldn't have had too much of a problem, cause I like teaching myself while I'm reading and studying, but we weren't allowed to check a textbook out for that class and I wasn't gonna spend $200 for a book in a course that I have no interest in whatsoever.
It really says something when you have the 7 of the top 10 people in your class of 500, yet none of them have any idea what's going on, lol.

probably my PE teacher like man she clearly has favorites and also students she hates (and yes I'm included in the "hated" ones). Seriously she's only considerate with her favorites (who are of course the sporty athletic ones) and she always embarrasses me in front of the whole class just because I'm not sporty! Even though I'm doing the right thing, she always says its wrong! this has been going on for 4 year aka my whole highschool life..... I try my best, dude, I try my best..
I once had a large Nigerian man as a substitute for French class. He had an extremely deep voice, and accent, so deep and thick that we couldn't understand anything he said. I felt bad because he was super nice but we literally just sat there and kinda nodded our heads.

When I was in 5th grade my teacher would very often call me a dog and refer to me as things like "girl" or "Lassie", and would generally say things just to embarrass me in front of the other students, causing me to get bullied. He claimed he was just trying to help me 'break out of my shell and laugh a little'. I was a very creative person and I drew on everything, had my own way of doing things, and I would get in trouble for drawing. People sitting near me, if they saw me drawing, they would tell on me like it was some kind of bad, horrible thing to do.
In middle school my PE teacher and my principal joined forces to force me to run on sprained ankles, claiming "it will make me stronger", and "walking it off is better"... but it caused permanent damage and I'm in pain every day of my life and I've had 2 surgeries already to correct just one of my legs. I have to use a wheelchair when I'm cooking or having to stand for a long time because it just hurts too bad to stay standing.

My form tutor, AKA my ex maths teacher.
She can't teach. I'll bet the only reason the school hired her in the first place was because she has a doctorate in maths, yet she can't teach the darn subject. We had some mock exams last year for "preparation" and she kept going on and on about how these things she was supposedly teaching us were going to come up on the paper. We got into the exam to find that she hadn't taught us anything at all on the paper.
If teaching us the wrong material wasn't bad enough already, she can't control the class at all. Wastes half of the lesson scolding people and sending them out without giving them a detention. Of course people will push her around if they know they can get away with it.

This music teacher I had in.. 9 grade I think it was. She literally made us try to play the guitar in front of an instruction dvd noone understood and she had no music taste so all we learned was one U2 song and some with The Police lol.

I had a supply teacher and he called a boy in my class who has really long hair Rapunzel. The boy sort of sat there sadly.... Another day we went on a class trip and knowing me and my friend were vegetarians shoved a piece of meat at us. He also told is which the top and bottom tables were. He'd say he expected less off the bottom table (his exact words)
And told my best friend who is an amazing writer and writes pages in English everyday she hadn't done enough and she'd done too many drawings. The assignment was to make a booklet promoting healthy eating in CHILDREN! In the end every parent complained and he left.

Probably an art teacher I had for my Higher Art in 5th year. Whenever I asked him for help, he'd just say "In a minute." & he never came back round to me no matter how many times I asked as he was always helping or talking to one person in particular in the class.
It's not as if he was an evil teacher or anything; he was just pretty useless in my case as I barely got any help from him.
