Unfair Teachers

[CrysisMcGee]

Has anyone else has the situation of a Teacher being ridiculously unfair.

I went through about 3/4 of a year in Grade 11 handing up fairly average English Studies essays.. being fairly shit at the subject as I was. However, towards the end of the year we had to do an essay on a subject of our choosing on the film Life as a House. I actually tried on this essay, over 1500 words, handed it up, got it back marked a few days later and at the bottom of the last page the words "Please see me after Class".

I went to the teacher and she said failed me on this essay for this reason. It was so good, she didnt think I wrote it. She thought I had gotten it off the internet as passed it up as my own. I was so pissed off and now being almost 3 years later, I am still a bit bitter about this.

I think this teacher hated me, a lot of them did... I wonder why?

That is BS. Unfortunatley, she does have reason to believe it. A mark up in quality is something they look for. However she should have been able to identify your writing style. Or at least talked to you about it. Seriously, Don't tell the student you think it's plagarized, sit down and talk to them about it. Anybody that has half a brain will be able to tell. Even if it is plagirized, and the student is able to cover it up, just because you think it's plagirized doesn't mean it is.

You know, I plagirized part of my Senior Thesis for English. Got a B on it. Rewrote quite a bit of it. What I did is I got all the information and text off one website, then rewrote it into my Thesis.

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.

Well did you just say you didnt't believe in her god? because that is perfectly acceptable. If you made fun if her, or made her feel like an idiot, then that's different.

 

[DreadfulSorry]

Can't really think of a specific instance when I had a teacher who was unfair, but I can think of a time when I had a prof. who was just fucking stupid. She was a medievalist trying to teach a classical art and archaeology class...I can't tell you how frustrating it was going through this class when I could have taught it better than her. And then she had the nerve to give me a D on the final exam. It's not my fault she didn't know how to give a proper art history exam.
I know it sounds petty, but because of her shitty class structure I got a B- in a class where I already knew half of the information she supposedly taught us.

For some reason teachers always favor girls I had this teacher in 7th Grade who was by far the worse teacher I ever had she claimed to have diabeties and explained her binge eating with "Sometimes I might have a little someting to keep my blood sugar up" OK 10 cookies is not "a little someting" no offense to anyone with diabeties
She favored girls and my most prominent memory was a project we did where you had to make up a product and then make fake advertisements for it, and film a commercial.

First she showed us an example of a good one done by a group of girls (though it did actually have production value) this should be foreshadowing of the bias

A group of guys came up and presented four commercials they wern't filmed the best but they did a lot of really good crafts and ade a very realistic webpage of Gilbert Arenas (I think thats how you spell it) promoting their product an energy drink. They obiviously put some effort into it.

Next a group of girls came up they put no effort into it. They're commercial was impossible to hear and the camera was handheld at least the guys got a tripod. It was like the "Cloverfield" Of commercials "Ahhh!! Gotta run away from the monsters oh look a bunch of people acting like they're in a commercial. Can't...hold...camera....steady!"
They didn't edit it at all and had to fast forward through multiple takes of their commercial before the good one came up and even then is was just them singing "Fergilicious AKA one of the worst songs ever written" with changed lyrics that promoted their product
And even then it was just them holding up papers that had the lyrics written on them.

Guess who got a better grade.
The Girls, because of their gender I hate how teachers always seem to favor girls.

Words might not be exact but it went like this:
Me and one of my english teachers,
"Miss, why did you give me a B when my partner got an A? Surely my work is as good as his seeing as though we both worked on it?"
"Yes but you didn't underline the date, title or objective." (Nit picking much)
"Miss my partner didn't underline his title and he doesn't even have a date on his work"
"Oh! I guess I missed that Oh well." (The Oh well are the only words that I know are exactly what she said)
This only happened a few times but god wouldn't you be pissed if she did that to you. All I could do was kill her using the power of my imagination. Watch out Miss, I just dropped my piano from a window.

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.

Lol i have exactly the same thing in my History class My teacher once asked what did Hitler do and i said "He Wore Glasses and made round fish bowls illegal" she instantly made me a fool infront of the class saying that its ridicuous and he never did such a thing, needless to say i brought in an authentic photo of Hitler wearing glasses and articles proving the fishbowl law. She gave me a Weekend detention for being a smart-arse,

So i asked the Vice-principal if because i proved a point i had to go to the detention, he said "If you proved your teacher wrong that is something that should be rewarded, not punished" greatest vice-principal ever

I used to go to a catholic school and my religion teacher INSULTED me for being an athiest... the school is multiregigeous though not just catholic (but it is in the catholic district) I hate religion class but its mandatory T.T

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?

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.

I've had many other incidents that are a lot worse than that, with that same teacher and others, that was the first one that came to mind, I shouldn't complain because that was one of the best grades I got that year.

This one actually goes across the board with all my grade school teachers.
We were taught to write in school, correct? All of you? Good. So was I. Only my penmanship was crap. After we were taught to write, like in kindergarden and 1st grade, My penmanship was still crap. And I continually got marked down for it.

Did they do a Fucking God-Damn thing to help me!? NO! I kept getting D's in my report card under penmanship, and it kept me from getting straight B's more than a few times. Throughout 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade. I'm not sure if it's penmanship exactly, but close enough.

Finally when I got to 5th grade, there was no grade for penmanship, and I got straight A's for half the year.

Still can't write a whole lot better. My signature looks like an epilectic ferret. Or written by an epilectic ferret. Can't really tell....

wow, see this is my problem with Catholics, 6hey think that if your different from the grain, you go to hell. That's just bullshit. Gays don't need to be cured, it's part of their genetic make up that make America. Wait, after reviewing what you said, you're gay? Excellent,with one of their hated and one who doesn't believe in their views We will infiltrate their society and destroy it from the inside out. No offense intended for you being who you are. High five for being creative and Yourself!

 

[uncle-ellis]

I always notice how to "popular" girls leave detentions and stuff first.

Just saying.

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

I actually lol'ed at this.

I liked Religion (as in, subject at school) during my first year of high school. My priest almost never talked about religious stuff, and we never even used copybooks or read the Bible. Hey, he even once swore, right after kissing his cross and apologizing beforehand. Of course, he was only quoting some spoiled slut that snapped back at him the other day, but still. I know only one other teacher that isn't afraid of using harsh words when talking with us.

Now since our cool priest had some health problems and had to stay in a hospital for some time, they've sent a replacement. Now lessons are extremely boring, with the teacher either reading the Bible, asking us "Why is Christianity unique?" and constantly talking about great God is, that he loves everyone and everything and he's so good. I asked her "What about the homosexuals?" and she said "well, they are sick people, mentally sick, and like everyone who is sick they need to be cured". After that I told my mom that if she says anything like this again, I will simply stop attending Religion at school, seeing how I' apparently no longer a Christian.

Unless our priest returns next semester... Man, that would be kickass.

Or now we have a dumb English teacher that has a horrible German-like accent (Gut Job, Guyz - like a damn computer) and constantly talks about how our pronounciation is wrong. I have studied the language for at least 10 years now, I'm not going to change my accent just because one asswipe wants this.

Didn't happen to me, but during English class, we got back an exam, and on the essay part (where you had to write advice for persons), you could get 20 points, and the girl beside me got 10 cause of three misspellings and "not writing good answers enough". What the hell? There is no right or wrong, the teacher didn't tell us what advice to give. Let her have an opinion!

 

[GrinningManiac]

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.

Dear god, we had a bipolar teacher, still do, but I'm not in her class (thank GOD)

She'd scream at us all for being useless and disrespectful and noisy, and then go around the class praising each one of us, and saying "not you, of course, dear, you're perfect" TO EVERYONE.

Before our GCSE exam, she spent each lesson telling us how badly our lives would suck if we failed, and how we'd all fail unless we do what she said TO THE LETTER.

BUT

She never had time to say anything. It took the whole lesson to do the damn rant

Baaargh!

OH YEAH: You know all those stories where the teacher told you that you were blatantly copying off the internet? I leant my mate my History assignment once, and he flat-out copy-and-pasted it. I was pretty peeved, but I hung around afterwards behind the door to hear him get told off.

The teacher "knew" he had copied because, and I quote "Half way through the font changes and 'You started talking like an intellectual'!"

I was very smug for a week

Wait, did you read my post at all?

My PRIEST had nothing against gays. He said it's fine for a man to love another man. God doesn't care about the gender, as long as there is love.

I'm not gay. But I hate ignorant people. Also, I'm not American.

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.

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.

In high school, we had to take 2 trimesters of PhysEd. 2 semesters=3 trimesters. 5 classes a day with trimesters, instead of 7 with semesters. I Loved it.

And if we didn't, we couldnt graduate.
