Worst/best Teachers You've had - General

Post your worst/best teachers you've had. Rules Try not to go off topic I had this teacher when I was 9 and she told us to stop eating at lunch and go outside. But I want to eat my cookies I had so I stuff them in my mouth. So know what she does? She takes me out in the hall, I forget what she said. But I just stood there silently eating my cookies not wanting to speak with my mouth full while she's waiting for an answer

I had a science/math teacher in elementary school (keep in this was in the deep south of the US) that was gay. He also had some rad tatoos on the side of his arm, did some kick ass break-dancing, and was colorblind. He wasn't overly flamboyant at all so I didn't know he was gay until middleschoool. He was strict as hell but he was the coolest teacher ever. Every year the teachers would face off against the sixth graders (school only went pre-k to 6th grade) in a basketball match every year and he was always the star player. He somehow arranged every year for 3rd graders to dissect a pig heart. He also had a bunch of laser discs with terrible 80's education videos on them.

Had a world history teacher who was on his last year before leaving to teach in the UAE for a large contract, so he just did not care anymore. 4 out of 5 days you would walk in to a dimly lit room with a DVD menu up on the projector. All you had to do was fill a page with "notes" (he didn't check them at all, people literally wrote song lyrics and got 100's), and in addition every additional page was worth 5 extra points with no limit. Some people were getting 130's for those song lyrics. Everyone's scores were ass on tests, but with all the 100's they were getting, I doubt anyone got a C. I would scramble down notes that halfway related to the video, for fear of being caught writing complete nonsense (though nobody ever was), within 5 minutes then sleep for the rest of the hour in the dark. Others would play chess, iPhone games, etc. What a year it was.

The worst I had to deal with...don't get me started, I'm already getting furious with what we all had to put up with. I swear she had to pick favorites and barely passed them while the rest of the class failed. Not only was she vague on what she expected of us, she will tell one student one thing and tell another something different when confronted with the same question. Checking on RateMyProfessors, it's sad to see that she still isn't fired, especially with a 1.5 rating. Even made us watch some Icelandic music video and assign us an essay not involving it. -100/10

Just remembered another one. I had a social studies teacher Mr.spears. I always looked forward to that class because even though he was strict he brough fun stuff into learning so it wasn't the same stuff over and over again.

I had this weird ass English teacher who always assumed that the whole class throw boogers at him when he didn't noticed, he even got mad at all of us. One day, he pointed at me, yelled loud and really pissed with the booger stuff, of course I didn't do anything. A year later he quit being a teacher btw his name is Chris

All in Year 12: Worst was probably my Advanced English teacher. She was smart but she constantly screamed 'soccer mum'. Not literally of course. She never really got along with any of the boys in the class, except for one who was quite literally a teachers pet and just a poofter in general. Always gave attention to the chicks in the class, not that I was jealous but I was kind of struggling through Advanced English throughout senior school and I was shocked after we got our final marks back when I saw that I managed to pass the course. I have two for best teachers I guess. My Industrial Technology teacher never really cared about what we got up to while we were working on our year-long major projects (well, aside from the end). We'd constantly fuck around and not actually do our work and she didn't really care. I worked on my major project heaps at home so it ended up biting the ass of everyone else in the class. Industrial Technology was my favourite class, we only did theory work like once a fortnight (so one lesson in every eight). My Engineering Studies teacher was also pretty cool. I'll always remember the way he taught. There were three chalkboards in the room and he'd write on them (left to right) in the order 1-3-2. After he finished on one board he'd go over everything in layman's terms so that we'd understand what was going on. We all got along good with him, he always had lots of good stories to tell us and stupid jokes as well. One of my biggest regrets of going to school drunk in Year 12 was that I disappointed Tony and although we still got along he'd never think of me the same way again. My favourite subject was Business Studies and although I got along with the teacher I wouldn't really say she was one of my best. She was nice, but not outstanding or anything. The best memories I have from that class was being asked by nearly everyone for help in their assignments, and chilling with the 'business boys'. On my left was one of my best mates, on my right was a filthy Arab who late last year fled to Europe for reasons and next to him was the school captain who was the biggest dickhead and constantly smiled, but god love him.

Best teacher I've ever had is my current health ed/PE teacher. He's a fucking douche and a narcissist most of the time...or so people think. He's actually just putting up a character, and it's pretty genius in the way that it makes all of the teenagers in high school feel rebellious and strive to prove him wrong at every turn. So what happens when he says none of the class is going to get top grades from some class? They study their asses off (at least the ones who aren't useless shits to begin with). If you really have any issues and go talk about it with him, he's not instantly the "oh i'm so sorry we'll try to find something to hel-" no. He listens to what you have to say, notices very well if there are excuses in the midst of it and if he deems it an issue that you need help with, he gives actual advice and looks to it that the issue gets solved. I mean, small revelation here and example too. I didn't know how to swim last year. He looked up any swimming classes for teenagers and gave me the contacts of where to sign up for one. This was mainly because I was doing a PE class and it required me to swim a pretty reasonable distance which seemed insurmountable to me at the time. He said that as long as I get some kind of certificate from the course, it's enough for the class. I got the class completed thanks to him and thanked him at the end of it. Definitely one of the best teachers I've ever met and smartest too. But he's still an asshole sometimes.

Worst teacher was probably the one who assaulted me in year 1 (first grade) and made me have a subconscious fear of primary school teachers - it was because of her that I had to be homeschooled for 7 years. Best teacher probably my software development lecturer in college - he's gone above and beyond to help me with stuff :v:

Probably one of the best teachers I've had is my maths teacher in secondary school. He clearly explains everything, is very organized (I think he's OCD but it's quite a good trait for maths) and he sometimes can be very funny.

Worst one was a teacher which JUST finished studying, she was 22, maybe 25, and goddamn, back then I was a little shitty brat which didn't want to work at all, other friends which I had in the class had the same preset. When we all are hyper she got a damn hard time, one time we even got so damn hyper and rebellious that she yelled SHUT UP and ran out of the classroom. Goddamn what a prick I was that day.

My holocaust teacher was awesome. We actually went to Germany and Poland to see the camps.

Worst teacher I had was my latest maths teacher, she was Spanish and had a really annoying high pitched voice. She was incredibly strict. At the beginning of the year, I threw a ruler into my pencil case from about 10 cm away and she sent me across to the other side of the room away from everyone for the rest of the year. No-one in my class liked her. [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] Best teacher was probably my latest science teacher, he was a nice guy and easy to talk to. I don't really enjoy science all that much but he just made it enjoyable.

I had this teacher a while back. She was this old, deeply religious Jewish lady, and if memory servers me, she was certified as a rabbi to boot. Before you had her, everyone was terrified of her. Then, when you finally got assigned her class, she turned out to be a total bro. I remember when we had finals, we were all exhausted from late night studying and test after test. She canceled our class for the period and let us all take a nap and recharge. [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] I also had this other guy who would sub for whoever was out. Every class he took over became comics 101. It was great.

I have dyspraxia which means that I'm putting too much force on my joints (amongst other things) which causes cramps often whenever I'm doing something like writing. During primary school, I couldn't write four lines without my hand cramping like fuck. I had a migraine one day and so I refused to do PE because I feel like I was going to puke. The teacher, fully in the know of my condition, made me write 50 lines. Then I spent the rest of the time in the corridor puking into a bucket.

My last year physical science teacher was terrible. He was confusing as fuck and he had this Texan accent that made everything he said five times more annoying. He made us bring this heavy-ass science book to class every day but we never used it and he always wasted the first 15 minutes of class checking to make sure everyone had theirs. Nothing he taught ever made sense and I had to teach myself outside of class just to maintain a C/B average. So glad I never have to see him again.

my teacher got a dui

We had Substitute teacher and i guess we were all being loud and she told us, that we were acting like a bunch of pricks. that's probably the only bad teacher I've had.

A teacher who believed he was an alien from the planet Sygma 5. He had many stories of his home planet, and how Earth is going to be invaded in 2050. He either truly believed it, or stayed in character for over 15 years. He can't teach full classes anymore because he threw a chair at a student. Also he met his wife on Runescape and hosted a weekly Runescape club.
