Teacher's you've HATED
Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 01:28 PM by breezygirl
Not to say i don't have teachers I like. In general, i like school pretty well. But I hate my phy ed/health teacher.

For one thing, he is INCREDIBLY narcissitic. Whenever we're in health, he's always talking about how he lifts weights, how he can do things most people his age can't, blah, blah, blah. I'd like to tell him to go and stand in front of the mirror for the rest of his life.

another thing: he is SO boring. Most of my other teachers at least make an effort to engage you in what they're talking about, but he just rambles on about his favorite topic: himself.

Last thing: he's a republican. And he accused the Minneapolis Trib of being biased when he watches FOX news. But i shall get him back for it: For an assisgnment, we have to find an advertisement we think is probably not going to do what it promises. I'll say "I think you could trust what George Bush says more than Product X"

:evilgrin:

So anyway. what are some teachers you've disliked?

edit: spleling

1. My 9th Grade PE Teacher (Also Doubled As A Math Teacher Too)
He was the one who tried to "motivate" and "inspire" me to be more athletic by telling me that I played like a girl.

Nice.

2. One particular teacher comes into mind
My hatred for math can be squarely blamed by one HORRIBLE teacher named Jeff Wedgle.

He would just plain fuck up everything and go overboard with everyone, giving us stupid assignments for algebera. As a result, I hated math. I still do. But fortunately my math requirement has ended last summer for college.

5. My phyed teacher's name is Charlie brown
you think with a name like that, he would be a little nicer.

I hate math too, but that's just on account of my hatred of numbers.

46. Me Too!!!!
A year after you - 1971 right after my parents rather UGLY divorce. This woman was one sadistic biatch... Mrs. Readette!!!!! My older brother had her and loved her, this was not the cast with me. She singled out myself and this other kid and went about making our lives absolutely miserable! Going as far as calling the parents of our friends requesting that they not allow their kids to play with us!???!!! There are many more that I remember vividly which I won't go into.

Sure, it's been over 30 years but it still makes my blood boil when I think about it. I still hate that broad. :grr::grr::grr:

8. i didn't hate teachers until i became one
your hair would curl if you knew what some teachers say about their students. interestingly enough, the ones who spew crap about kids are always 'conservatives' with license plates that read 'GO GOD 1' and sour looks on their sour faces. if your students like you, you must not be 'doing anything' in your classroom.
they suck the life out of kids and wonder why kids hate them.

10. My 8th grade english teacher
She was BAD. I swear, there has never been a teacher that's yelled at me more for doing nothing wrong. I actually got detention from her because she thought I was writing on the desks...but I was actually just tapping my pencil on my desk. 2 hours for that...:grr:

15. I hate the administration at my daughter's school
She's in middle school, 7th grade. She and her friends began distributing a newsletter, outside school hours, following school district and Supreme Court guidelines. This was in retaliation for not having their say in the school newspaper. The principal is terrified of kids who think for themselves so she confiscated the newsletters and banned them from distributing any more.

We have an appointment with the administration and the area superintendent tomorrow. I have a little matter called Tinker v. Des Moines to discuss with them.

I plan to ruin their shit and love every minute of it.

Fight the man!

27. How old are you?
My daughter is quite a firebrand. She wears a bead choker that says, "Damn The Man." This is all kind of hilarious to her. I'm just mad as hell at these adults who act vindictively toward kids.

I even have a PowerPoint presentation for tomorrow to show them how feeble their policies are.

Rock on...

18. My 5th grade teacher
Ms. Jordan.

She would come around during snack time and pillage and plunder our bags of goodies like some overweight Jamaican pirate.

She also threw a textbook at one girl in my class and clocked her upside the head.

She didn't last more than a year at my school.

43. My first grade teacher=Satan
Her last name was Washington. Pure evil, I tells ya.
This was back in '72. I lost my place in a reading group and she not only kicked me out of the group, but threw my chair at me as I left.
When we would get tired and whine (as small children tend to do) she would grab her breast and shout, "Do you want some of this???" Of course I was scared to death of her.
Sorry for the buzzkill folks.

of my 6th grade Home Economics teacher. She would have us bake brownies and other goodies as a class project and then we would turn them into her. I swear, she'd take them home and eat them! She must've weighed 250 pounds at least. :-(

21. I hated her with a passion reserved for ferw things in my life
Mrs. Hoffman was my high school junior year english teacher.
She hated me so much from the very first day of class. I happened to be on crutches that day, recovering from surgery, and she threw a fit
because I had to sit in the back of the class therefore destroying her class seating plan. What the hell was she thinking about anyway? A seating plan in high school? Anyway later on that year I had to have yet another surgery so I had to be out of class for two weeks. She REFUSED to allow me to make up my work. Even my counselor was shocked at her attitude. Till this day I wished I would have keyed her car or done something to get even with her.

23. My ninth grade science teacher
she had a flock of favorites, goddamn goody goodies. I use to beat their pants off on the tests then tell them to fuck off when they tried to siddle up.
I've had some teachers in college who were great in their fields, but they weren't teachers. As instructors they were terrible, some of them I wanted to go into their mouths and rip the words out.

25. College Level Statistics Teacher....
Now, mind you I'm good at math (A's in Calculus and Trig, etc...)

The book was horrible but the teacher... I felt sorry for the people that couldn't manage to learn from the book.

He would make blatant mistakes when trying to demonstrate problems, and then just pretend like you knew what he meant. Really ,really bad.

He was always nice and humorous, but that doesn't help when tells you the standard deviation is the mean....

26. My 8th grade American Lit. teacher
Mrs Davis. She never let anyone talk in class. She would hand out reading assignmnents, tests, quizzes, whatever and go back to doing pretty much nothing. I don't remember her orally instructing us at all. If you even much as farted in class you were executed on the spot. Ok, maybe not that extreme but it was a very uncomfortable situation for all of us in class.

But teachers I loved!
Ms. Scott - My first grade teacher. She had an afro.
Ms. Buchanan - 3rd grade teacher. Gorgeous long brown hair and almond eyes you could swim in for days.

Both beautiful women inside and out. :loveya:

32. Sister Mary Amator
First grade. My mother didn't have all that good penmanship so when she filled out my paperwork to enter school, it looked like she wrote "Pennifer" instead of "Jennifer". I tried to tell the kind sister that Pennifer wasn't my name, but was told that, sorry, I'd have to bring a note from my mother to that effect.

She was one of the most ancient humans I'd ever seen. And mean. About three months into the school year, we got there one morning, and the principal and some of the other teachers were waiting to break the news that Sister M.A. was no longer among the living. I'm pretty sure I was feeling happy about it, and I think some of the boys actually cheered. They laid her out in the front of the church and filed all us impressionable first graders past the casket to pay our respects. I don't think I've been the same since. :)

34. Middle school gifted instructor
You always made it known that you didn't feel someone of my social standing belonged in a gifted program, and you made sure to comment on every nervous habit I had, from licking my lips to pulling the Velcro straps on my sneakers, therefore making me even more nervous and prone to tics.

HS trigonometry teacher: I know you gave me a lower grade because you were pissed that I didn't want to take part in math field day. Yeah, a friend and I calculated it for shits and grins at the end of the semester, and I would have needed to have gotten a 40 percent on the final to get a B. I know I didn't. I'm laughed my ass off when you got fired for hitting a student. We always knew it was going to happen, you sociopathic fuck.

HS science teacher: You were nice, but how could you sit there and do nothing while I was constantly being sexually harassed by the boys in class? It's almost 20 years later, and I still walk with my arms crossed over my breasts.

Oh, and to my 5th grade social studies teacher: Samuel Adams was not a president.

35. 4th - 6th Science teacher
Velma Burris. Horrid, bitter woman. Hated children, seemed so put out that she had to actually do her job. When scolding a child for running in the hall she would physically stop the child then ram them into the coat rack, hooks be damned, with her fist at the kids throat.

Lived to humiliate kids in the classroom and would pick on ones who she knew were going through bad times at home. Often spent her whole class period talking about her only son, David (who was a prick) in tglowing terms usually reserved for the likes of Mother Teresa.

She apparently knew no science because year after year the science teacher at the Jr High would bitch about the lack of knowledge of the kids from my school. I still hate the thought of science.

38. That would be my fifth grade teacher.
Her name was Mrs.Greene. Our social studies teacher came in and a lot of us had not done our homework. She said she would accept it if it was done by the time class was over and proceeded to write down the names of everyone who had not done their homework. I, of course, was one of them. I did manage to do the work during class and I passed it in. Our social studies teacher passed on the list to Mrs.Greene, our homeroom teacher. Mrs.Greene came in the classroom and demanded an explanation from each person who had not passed in their homework. I told her Mrs. Taylor did have my homework and she called me a liar in front of the class. She gave me a chance to change my answer, but I wouldn't. She assigned work to the rest of the class and then she brought me to Mrs.Taylor's classroom. She told me to wait out in the hall and she went in. About five minutes later she came back with my homework in her hand. She degraded my work and tore it up in front of me telling me I had to redo it for the next day. Keep in mind that this not work for HER class, it was for someone else's. She was just mad that she had been wrong and that she had called me a liar in front of the class and then she found out she had been wrong. I have never gotten over how cruel a teacher can be. My God, I was only in fifth grade!

39. Grade 4
She just plain hated my guts. I spent the entire school year in the nurse's office (when I wasn't in the principal's office). I now suspect is was for Aspie and ADD issues.

Typical incident:

Teacher: (false shiny-happy voice) Now, class, what colour is the sky.

Class: (bored) Blue.

TrogL: (clueless) Excuse me, it's raining. The sky is grey.

Teacher: (screaming) Go to the principal.

Principal: (sighs) What did she send you for this time?

TrogL: (clueless) I have no idea. Oh, look - a butterfly.
