My rant on arrogance and idiocy of Computing Teachers - General

It seems to me that most college level Computer Science professors have never had a real computer job. Makes sense because I sure as heck don't want to be a teacher. More work, and babysitting tweens for less pay? No thanks.

eh my computer teacher is actually pretty cool although she kicked me out today.

Not about tech teachers but about teachers in general. When my dad was in school he corrected the teacher after she made a mistake and she got so pissed when she realized she was incorrect that she sent my dad to the principal. :P

English teachers are worse. Remember guys, even on a science paper, [B]any[/B] use of Wikipedia is instantly invalid, because it can be edited by anyone. :downs: Uhh, yeah. Wikipedia is a goddamn encyclopedia. It has sources, if your dumb ass would look.

I once had a retarded computer teacher. Like everybody else. It's a fact of life, get over it. If you were good with computers, you wouldn't be teaching a bunch of kids who don't wanna be there. If you were good with computers and wanted to teach, you'd be teaching Photoshop to art school students, or Comp Sci to college students.

[QUOTE=tasty-man;20694903]Wow I bet everyone in your class hates you. Always correcting the computer teacher.[/QUOTE] I have an awesome table with my freinds, none of them are geeks, and we take the piss out of her so much

There isn't really a point in arguing about it.

One time the teacher said: "Okay, put your keyboard's on the hard drive and go to your next class". Also when we want help when making a PowerPoint presentation, she tells us to click on the help button.

Using a secondary source when you can use the primary one is always asking for trouble because you have no idea if it's been taken out of context or cited improperly.

Hahaha oh wow, today she said 'Oh you still going on about that?' And facepunch is now blocked. Ok, so I think I'm responsible for this.... sorry guys. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/nooooooooo.PNG[/IMG]

What a DQUCHE

So support teachers, you see. Oh my they intrigue me so... You see, when they try and outsmart you on a subject they know nothing about, they just rip their asses wide for a pisstake. I'm chilling in the library, and we get into some discussion about windows somehow (:banjo:). She goes on about how it's all DOS based, and so unreliable. I state Windows has used the NT kernel for ages, and how Windows ME was the last version to use it, yet she insists that XP and Vista are DOS based. When I ask (oh yes) what computer she owns, she blurts out 'MacBook Pro' :aaaaa: This is why Mac users are considered dumb. Her. (Also I am typing this on a Mac, but hell that's beside the point. She's a fucking :downs:)

I'm taking a BTEC ICT Practitioners course and from time to time, one of our teachers won't be able to attend but will come in, register us and then leave us in the room. One time we played Halo multiplayer, I gave it to a few of the people in my class. We started with four of us playing Slayer and ended up with eight of us playing Team Slayer by the end of it. I won every game, by that I mean I got at least 50% of my teams kills. It's kind of sad that our teachers don't let us play games after we've done our work, we can either leave or stay and catch up on other units. I normally do a bit of work then leave, depends if my friends have a free period or not.

A story about a IT-test i wrote today:Our teacher printed out an excel-tableur and we had to write the commands,eg =b1+b2 Wow Half year word,other one excel.So exciting.I have two people in my class who know how to scrip and write progammes an such,if they would teach us,we would maybe learn something.We basicly get our orders for five min.then work for five min. and then wait 35 min for the lesson to end.

We had an elderly Jewish woman teach us IT. She didn't know how to work anything in Microsoft Office but she did know how to work the interactive demonstration software that locked everyone's accounts and made their screen display what was on her screen (this was the time before smart boards, although we did have a rarely used screen projector). We had to design some 3D chess pieces. The instruction booklet we were given was very easy to follow (e.g. to make a pawn, make this shape then hit the "extrude" button and make it go around 360 degrees). She'd ask me or one of the other tech savvy kids to explain how to get it to work, then would freeze all our computers and make us watch her do it. I did point out that having just explained how to use the software, I should just be allowed to continue with my project uninterrupted, but she either didn't know how to make computer exceptions (it was doable) or she really did think that I was just being sassy without any reason to be sassy. The most consistently aggravating thing was watching her slowly move the pointer to File --> New rather than just hitting Control and N. Five weeks in, after we'd all submitted several typed pieces of work, she decided to show us how to use Microsoft Word so we could give her homework. It took three quarters of an hour for her to actually get a document open, type and print. In trying to demonstrate how to print only certain pages, she managed to print 20 copies of her 5 page document. Worst of all, she claimed my work was plagiarised when I calmly explained it couldn't be, since I didn't actually have the internet. I had to explain each underlined "phony" term to her and even though she couldn't trip me up, she still gave me a D. I think she still does cover lessons in IT. I worry for the new year 7s. [editline]08:34PM[/editline] I think stupid IT teachers are a phenomenon only our generation will know - before hand, you probably didn't know enough about IT to see your computer teacher was stupidly wrong and in the future, all the old people who don't know how to use computers will have retired. I suppose you could still get retards who take community college teaching IT courses.

I basically taught my Multimedia and Webpage Design class (Flash, HTML, photoshop), but the teacher was OK with me knowing a bunch more. She loved me, so I won the "Multimedia and Web Design" award thing for that year. Next year I'm going to be the teacher's assistant for the school's Java class (that teacher likes me too). She actually knows about Java though. The Web Design teacher only did stuff from the books.

Most teachers are just assholes man :saddowns:

My Software/Computer Apps class has the same teacher for my Keyboarding and Apps class, and the teacher takes so long to explain things that I either already know or can figure out by myself in a matter of seconds and she also just talks for the entire 50 minutes we're all in there, eventually her voice starts to scrape at your brain. All the work can get done with 10-20 minutes, so I usually just look up stuff on Wikipedia. Gonna try and play Pokemon off my USB and see if she cares.

My computer science teacher is God on Earth.

I could quite easily turn this around; how about you try starving to death in Africa before you complain about being a well-fed teacher?

My programming teacher is a 70 year old retard. She spends weeks going over the same infantile concepts. The sad thing is, almost everybody in the class still doesn't understand them. I'm one of only about 3 people who have any ability in the class. The entire unit for 2-3 weeks takes me under an hour, and I spend the rest of the time making games.

Some teachers know their shit but its the curriculum which they HAVE to follow which is wrong. Also, technology moves fast, what they learnt to teach might be 5-10 years old, god when I was at school they were teaching that Ghz computers were super computers.
