Who has been/was your hardest teacher in school?

This topic covers first grade through grad school.

Meanest were:

Mrs Schieble in 2nd grade (once yelled at me for accidentally going on to the next punctuation mark! I wasn't even talking)

Mrs. Naughton, Spanish teacher, in high school (spoke demeaningly at you when you forgot your homework, and even made kids cry. I considered her like the wicked witch. But she wasn't the hardest: I got an 89 for the final grade.)

Mr. Cullen in high school (had a smug superiority complex)

Hardest were:

Mrs. Heusser in grade school (no penmanship was good enough for her)

Sr. Charles in grade school (perfectionist; gave me plenty of As and Bs, but some Cs)

Mr. Cullen, math teacher in high school (certainly didn't mind kids failing. But I did ok - 83 at year's end.)

Fr. McLaughlin in high school (kids cheated behind his back)

Professor O'Neill in college (just plain difficult and hard to understand. But she gave me Cs at least.)

Professor Bowers in college (didn't teach, and gave exams on what was supposed to be taught)

Professor Wait in college (math teacher - took off points for everything)

The winner is: Professor Wait! Gave me my only D in college outside of a first semester course that was over my head.
