Unfair Teachers

[CrysisMcGee]

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%.

Somebody is a total dike....I'm guessing she was molested as a child. Why can't people see who is not to blame for their own problems?

I have an English teacher who knows NOTHING about english and me along with less than half of my class (which is supposed to be the second highest set) blatantly know more than her, yet she picks on me and my friend because we often talk quietly because we either finished the work earlier than everyone else or already know it all (and more) and constantly tells us off for things other people have done, marks us down on coursework for no reason or just completely ignores us because we've made points before that sound so much better than her own.

She gave me an A on my most recent coursework (I still manage to do pretty good ) which was blatantly an A*, she also left various comments such as "Don't tell people what's happening on the poem" (Because this is obviously a bad thing :S) and "This quotation is too long"... It was the poem, clearly seperated from the rest of the essay and in there for neatness and to allow people reading it to have a better understanding.

She's also shouted at me various times for leaning back on my chair or talking when everyone else in the class is as well. She once told my friend off for talking when he was sitting completely quietly doing the work, and when he brought this up with her she kept him in after class... Along with me...

She also has one guy who she's picked out as a favourite, she constantly ups him a grade or two and once gave him an A* for a piece of coursework he HADN'T DONE.

I also have a Biology teacher who finds enjoyment only in giving people detentions but he's not actually that bad.

Only one example springs to mind:

This was about 5 years ago, when my old school allowed water bottles in class (keep yourself hydrated and all that jazz). My old R.E teacher walks into the classroom, disregards the people drinking Red Bull at the front tables while listening to music, and instead has a go at me, the quiet kid drinking water.

I hated that guy.

EDIT: 666 posts, woo!

In highschool chemistry class. Me and a friend tended to get the highest grades, however in my case I would get points deduction for not using complete sentences (ie. "NaCl" instead of "the chemical name of kitchen salt is Natrium Chloride") whereas my friend would not

Maybe it's because your friend knew that Na was sodium, not natrium. That's not even an element.

My bad, Natrium is the Dutch chemical name for Sodium (it also makes slightly more sense since the short form is Na)

If that is true, he is so incredibly stupid I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's true, he was a staggeringly bad teacher. Of course architecture classes have a problem at their core, "there's no right or wrong, only opinion".

 

[luckshot]

nothing about actual class assignments, but at my high school we had block days where 2 days a week would only have 3 classes for extended periods and to fill out the second day they had a homeroom thing -basically a mandatory study hall- me and my friends were playing monopoly while everyone else wandered about and talked.

the teacher found out every homeroom had to make a poster about why drunk driving is bad, she forced us to do it. with no choice we did it, a car wrapped around a telephone pole. this is when the rest of the class realized it and asked why we did a shitty job and demanded that they be allowed to make a better one.

we had other problems with this teacher, a voluntary meeting the entire class was forced to attend interrupted a very important game of rummy

Oh, it is? Sorry about that, I'd have left you alone about it if I knew that.

 

[Eleuthera]

Oh, it is? Sorry about that, I'd have left you alone about it if I knew that.

No problem, I should have checked a dictionary, a lot of these elements change names completely between languages.

 

[RanD00M]

Well when our teacher is rather unfair.


My biology test was a few days away so i studied all day the day before.Had everything memorised.Then i got the test,it had nothing to do with anything we had been learning for those 4 months of school.Sure i passed but still.None of the answers were from our study material.

My high school stopped allowing a single teacher to grade papers and essays because papers were constantly getting sent by students to the head of the english department for getting big fat Fs. The assignment for the papers were stapled to the papers, the assignment was done properly and the paper would get an F for not completing the assignment or for cheating. The head of the department would go check for cheating and remark the papers. Eventually he got tired of it and forced all the instructors to come together every day after school to grade papers as a committee with him present so that kind of thing wouldn't happen any more.

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.

Yeah, we don't have any fat kids in our class and we're the fucking eleventh grade (that's the last grade in Russian school system before university), you think they would at least go easy on ust but nooo, they do the exact opposite. The only secondary school classes that aren't allowed to have lunch after lessons are, of course, the eleventh ones. You can tell me anything but that's bullshit because the eleventh class is the hardest.

I had a math teacher who hated me because she had my uncle and my mom when they were in 6th grade. Apparently she thought my mom was a whore and my uncle was a delinquent (Which he was, but still) and thought I'd be just like them. Add to that the fact I hate math as a subject, and let's just say that wasn't too good of a year.

What really pissed me off was that, my cousin Patrick gave me a bunch of comics, including a bunch of Ghost Rider issues. I brought one to school to read after school when I would have to wait for my mom to pick me up. She came up to me, took it, and said I could have it back at the end of the year. Well, months afterwards, on the last day of school, I came up to her in between classes and asked for it back. She told me that she had thrown it away. I asked her why, and she said, and I quote:

"You should have come up and got it sooner."

"........."

So I started screaming at her for being a hypocrite and a liar. On top of that she flat out told me that she hated my mom and she was a "little whore" for getting knocked up when she was 15, and how I was a little bastard. God, how I was happy when I moved to Jeff City where the teachers are decent people.

Bad thing about it was it was the issue where Dan Ketch and Johnny Blaze find out they're brothers.

P.S. I will agree that the excercise routine thing-y has good intentions but come on, I don't want to wake up 15 minutes earlier for that shit.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Why nearly? Trying to force belief down people's throats is one of the few things that is almost guaranteed to irredeemably piss off anyone above a certain age and level of intelligence.
Destroy her, Max. The world will be better for it.

I already got in MASSIVE trouble for making jokes in my assignments.
Like, principal-and-school-councilor-were-called-trouble.

If she suddenly dropped dead, people would suspect me.
No good.

What kind of jokes? If they're just simple ones like I throw in essays, then she's off her fucking rocker.

However I really hate my grade 6 teacher. I went to London with my mom for a tip, by plane, and my teacher asked me how I got there when I got back. When I told her it was by plane she freaked (she's an enviromentalist) and wanted to give me detention. When I heard that I told her too "Fuck off you sadistic *****" and for the rest of the year, she would try to make my life a living hell, so I had free license to call her a ***** for the rest of the year. To her face.

When I left the school, I called her a fucker and called her out on all the shit she did to me, while she was talking to parents about how good her class is.

One day, my careers teacher expected the entire class to hand in an essay that she never assigned us...

 

[Arehexes]

First grade(US school) we had to read these books for class to get a segment on a centipede thing, and the top 3 or 4(I forgot which) were allowed to go out to eat one day after school. Well I had like the most or 2nd most so I was happy just to get that far. Anyway these girl didn't read any books (i think she had 2 segments compared to my 9-10) and she still got to go cause the teacher likes her. And my current math teacher in college is a dick, he tells us we will have no theories(maybe one question) on our test and guess what we had half the test are on theories for linear algebra. And I'm not bad at linear algebra it's uber easy(I had made a 98 on my calc 2 test that covered it), he asks the questions in zen riddles with true or false(and if you over thing your boned). And he doesn't tell us things we need to know or things he thinks we know. Sadly we learn nothing(we had a sub and we learned stuff from him, we were shocked and a little scared).

In maths this term I got a 3(effort)A(achievement) when I asked my teacher why I got a 3, he said I did badly in my test and I didn't hand in a homework. I wasn't in for the homework and gave it in the next day with an explanation, and the achievement was solely based on the test. I've got another test for him tomorrow, and I'm going to do the same amount of revision as the last one, none.

 

[Abengoshis]

I have three instances that come to mind. The first two are the same teacher.

1) In highschool chemistry class. Me and a friend tended to get the highest grades, however in my case I would get points deduction for not using complete sentences (ie. "NaCl" instead of "the chemical name of kitchen salt is Natrium Chloride") whereas my friend would not.

2) Same class, same year. I had already handed in my test and was looking at what the guy next to me was writing. My teacher called me a cheater and I got points deducted on that test even after I made it clear I had already handed it in.

3) University this time. My teacher failed me on a building desing (Architecture class) but in his own words. "I'm going to fail you on this, I'm not sure what on yet." WTF!?

Um no, it's Sodium Chloride. xD

Na is Sodium now, Natrium isn't really ever used.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

I've never had an unfair teacher, but I did have a very... inattentive... one, once, for Biology.

Teacher: Okay, you're gonna want to get started on the research project. The directions are on the handout.
Me: You didn't give us a handout.
Teacher: Oh. Well, it's all online.
Me: Great! What's the URL?
Teacher: It's on the handout.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

Not as bad as everyone else have but still very annoying.
I don't get in much trouble from most teachers but that doesn't stop them from being jerks.
I have dispraxia which means I find everything harder to do and get tired really quickly so I have a helper in some classes to write for me but most of the teachers think that I'm mentally disabled just because of the helper so they go to great lengths to go over everything again in a way that makes me feel like a eight year old. >_<

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.

Now, school ended at 2 PM.
My mother got off work at 7 PM.
School started at 8 AM.

Fuck that teacher, I hope she's dead.

More recently, one of my teachers got on my case about not believing in her God.
I nearly strangled her.
Over the fucking phone.

You have my deepest sympathy.
If it's any concellation to you I'm guessing most likely everyone else on this thread hopes she's dead too.
I hate it when people force their religion on other people.
My old religion teacher use to sit on her fat ass for the whole class going on about her own beleives and for the rest of the year she would show us horrible movies to prove points everyone already fucking know. I don't know how she hasn't gotten sacked yet. <_<

I remember that as a child, I was so freakishly well-behaved that, after the naughty kids had... I don't even remember what it was.
All I remember is that they had done it over seven times, and I had done it once, with my impeccible behavioral record, and they called me out on it.
When I pointed out that I had done this thing only once, and the other children had probably, collectively done it +25 times in the past two minutes, she pretty much told me that they had higher standards for me than them, so I deserved to get in trouble while she let it slide for them.

I was seven years old.
Gee, I appreciate the faith in me, but for Heaven's sake. Why not just say, "Because I said so"?
