Unfair Teachers

[Fortesque]

My 3rd grade teacher despised me for being apathetic. Then she died of cancer. All is well that ends well.

I had an Ancient Studies teacher like that. I knew more about the subject than her and I was always getting in trouble for correcting her, I got horrible grades because she said I was arrogant and a smart-ass. Almost caused me to fail the 11th Grade, would have had to repeat. Then she got a highly contagious and deadly eye infection and lost her left eye. Karma is a wonderful thing.

One of my only childhood memories is of my kindergarten teacher sending me to the office.
Every.
Single.
Day.
For.
The.
Entire.
Year.
I know a few girls who can verify this.

you to? stupid kids kept hitting me so i hit them but its only me the teacher always notices and im the only one who goes to the office. i begged my parents for a transfer.

When a side mate of mine copies my math test thingy we have to hand in every weak, he often gets one higher grade... It puzzles my as to why.

Really?

He's simply correcting the error as he goes through rather than blindly copying. Smart kid.

I had a terrible music teacher. I've never had an interest in music, its always just been something going on in the background to me and not really worth studying. But up until Year 9 (that's age of 14 to those outside of england) the classes were mandatory.

Now my music teacher could not get over the fact that I had absolutely no musical talent or interest whatsoever and would often scream at me or hand out detention just because I couldnt identify a musical note by ear.

Well, from middle school on I never had an unfair teacher because I made it a point to argue about their level of unfair with them after class until they finally gave in. I got straight A's from middle school on.

However, when I was in the 1st grade I couldn't read as well as everyone else. I could read, just not fast. My teacher was a ***** about it and generally hated me. She didn't help me learn to read any better and continually reprimanded me outside of class for not reading as fast as everyone else. It turns out that all I needed to do was approach reading in a different way; needles to say she didn't help me come to this conclusion.

I did go back and see here after I was a sophomore. She actually remembered who I was and asked me about my reading ability before I even brought it up. Seems you really do remember the problem students the best. I had prepared. I brought with me 500 pages of debate evidence and dropped it on her desk and said.

"This is my reading material for the weekend. It's been a light week."

She looked at me, mouth a gape, and it seemed she got the message thanks to body language and the general tone of voice. The message was in general, "I now read around 1000 pages of legal evidence a week, no thanks to you."

My justice is sweet sometimes.

Well, most of my English teachers were beyond crap.
But the one that really stands out as unfair would be my 7th grade English teacher...she had to have been bipolar.
Pretty much every day, she'd go from happy and joyful to a spiteful, nearly satanic creature.
Handing out our work was a particularly worrying time, as you never knew which version of her you'd get.
"Good job, Timmy, you got an A. Jonathan, you got a B+, good job! <color=red>SANDRA! HOW COULD YOU GET AN A?! YOU'RE USELESS, SLOVENLY, AND A HORRIBLE WRITER!"
I'm only exaggerating a little bit there.

Same with my 7th grade Math teacher. She would come in one day all cheery saying "Hello class what a beautiful day!" and then when this kid (She always seemed to hate him XD) raised his hand, she flipped out, "I'M SICK OF YOU! ALRIGHT, NOW WE WON'T HAVE PIZZA AT THE END OF THE YEAR!" That devious *****. At the beginning of the year she promised pizza to the class with the best average.
That was my class D:
I still want that pizza.

A few years back, I had an English teacher who assumed I was going to be exactly like my brother. He would tell random stories and one was about a student who sat where I used to sit, the student then went on to murder people and is now apparently in Cardiff jail or something. I think there was another story as well about my chair and the occupier being deranged. After the lesson people kept asking me if I was going to kill someone, just because he had implied I would do the same, or that the occupier of that chair would go nuts.
He picked on me a lot.

It wasn't just against me. A girl who also sat at the front was slouched a bit as it was the last lesson on a hot day. He yell at her to sit up straight. The girl behind her was visibly asleep. A similar thing happened with phones with the same two girls, one phone got confiscated the other didn't.

Then there was my biology teacher last year, she hated me, alway picking on me and telling me off for something. Like my friend was telling me about her shift at work. I got told to be quiet. She would alway ask me the first question for anything and when I was working on something she would tell me how to do it. Even the bits I had already done.
She lasted a term.

I used to get put in time out at least two times a day when I was in kindergarten. I mean, a lot of it was my fault because I flipped the teacher off whenever I disagreed with her, but still.

Another was 11th grade gym teacher. Whenever someone in the class did something, even something as stupid as giggling when he was talking, he'd make us run a mile. Now a mile isn't hard to run, but we'd usually end up running six or seven miles. And by the way, I had lunch right before gym.

I had a dick Chemistry teacher who seemed to try everything in the book to get my mark down, which sucked since I was using that mark to apply for College.

i have chemistry right now and she is exactly like that.
i have a 34 in that class.
i study, i hand in my labs and school work.
F@*KING *****..

When a side mate of mine copies my math test thingy we have to hand in every weak, he often gets one higher grade... It puzzles my as to why.

my friend does the same thing in history and the same thing happens..
im confused haha

 

[Fulax]

I wrote a 3000 word essay on the theory of the firm (exciting, I know) for one of my uni classes. I wasn't satisfied with the theories discussed in class, so I did some research and found one that made sense. My teacher said it was an excellent essay, but only gave me 50/100 because I didn't use enough of the theories discussed in class.

My history teacher in sixth grade was always angry at me because I already knew everything about just about every subject(Ancient Egypt, Ancient Civilization in Latin America). When she was lecturing I never really payed attention, but I always got A's on my tests, and did good on the assignments. She tried to have me transferred to Special Ed because I wasn't paying attention to her. The Special Ed teacher wouldn't take me because of my test scores, and said that I was learning, but not the way she wanted me to. Just to prove that I didn't need to be transferred I read the Iliad and did a report on it. ***** gave me a 99 because I made one grammar error. Now she has chronic back and knee problems, Karma's a *****. Why does Karma always get to have all the fun?
I also had a lot of teachers who hated me because I had long hair. I was sent to the school shrink because of that and also to a guidance counselor who told me I should cut it and I told her that I wouldn't because that's what everyone wanted me to do. That really pissed her off.

Uh,my year 8 teacher,i used to get low marks in science,probably because i was shit but one day i copied my friends work EXACTLY since we were working in pairs,but he got an A and i got a C?! wtf?! (Anyway i heard she's dead now,hope she died painfully >:O)especially since it just wasnt a one off,she did it every lesson

 

[rockingnic]

I once got a grade at least a whole letter grade lower than the average of all my test and assignments with good participation...

 

[CoziestPigeon]

This happened today. First of all, our department of education has come up with the most retarded idea ever - making students come to school 15 minutes earlier to do a fucking morning excercise routine. Today, half the school arrives ten minutes before the bell. And, guess what, the guards don't let anyone in. No one told ANYBODY that we should come 10 minutes before the start.

Aside from the not telling anyone, that's actually a fucking great idea. Stop the little fat kids from being so god damn tubby.

 

[steevee]

Ahhh. I remember, back in Year 8 I had a particularly useless maths teacher.
She really couldn't conrtol the class because we were a top set most of us easily finished the work. So she stepped up to giving us A-Level work. That's a 4 year difference, even so some of us managed to get it to stat with. But then she stopped explaining thing because we talked too much. So we were left with work way too advanced for us without any help or explanation. Needless to say some people got a little rowdy.
But she singled me ot after I called her out on her little delusion that she worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Bearing in mind she's a crap maths teacher, from rural England, that is so crap in fact that she is no longer allowed to teach GCSE classes.
Anyhow, after that I never had any warnings or anything, if I was doing anything I was to the Head. No matter what.
Once I had a pencil thrown at me, which bounced off my head, on to her desk. She blamed me. Most of the class said it wasnt me to her, but still. It was me :S
Thats one crazy *****.

Eh, i had a teacher who.. back story: She originally taught us in Grade 2, and at that stage she picked out this student who she babied from there on out who she labelled as a math genius, and she actually boosted him ahead a grade in math.. So when we were in grade 2, he was learning grade 3 math.

I was better then him in math, but for some reason she chose this guy as her prodigy.

Every year, i would wind up with better grades in math then this kid had had when he did the same stuff the previous year.

This teacher came back around to us in Grade 8. By this time i was a mathematical force of nature, and she hated that i was proving her wrong in which student she chose to be her prodigy, so she started deducting marks for ridiculous reasons. I had 100% on a test, but she docked me 25% because i had written more then 1 question/answer on a line.

She'd dock a grade because i had "written the date on the wrong line".

She kept upping how strictly she graded my stuff, and i kept stepping up my game to beat her.



In high school, we had a teacher who quite obviously hated men. If you were male, you automatically had to deduct 10% on anything that you submitted.

At the end of the year we had to do a group presentation. We were a group of 4 guys and 1 girl, and we knew we were sunk. As a joke, my one buddy said "We should all dress up as women"....I remember staring at him and saying "Blake, you're a genius".. Of course he went off on "i was only kidding!" but it was too late, and sure enough in that final presentation we dressed as women and got 100%.

Wait, are you complaining about getting a single percentage deducted for grammar? You're lucky it was only 1%! Bad grammar is basically an insta-fail. In the real world, if you fuck up the grammar on your resume, you don't get the job. There was even a case involving Rogers Telephone Service that cost them over 2 (m) million dollars because some moron couldn't make proper use of a comma. If you are honestly complaining about losing 1% to bad grammar, you are one of the luckiest people on the planet.

Now, I'm pretty fucking amazing at basketball and I was doing all sorts of jumping, twisting lay ups and some pretty spectacular 3 pointers so my P.E. teacher decided to have a go at me.

He told me to stop showing off and to give others a chance. Just to piss him off, I just paid no attention to him and carried on being awesome.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Yess, very much so. I'm usually a goody-two shoes, but one toe out of line, and it's like they want to beat me. But not the case for those that act that way every day. Ohhh no. They get their own, looser, set of rules.
