My old maths teacher, she was a ***** who took 2 years off, because she felt like it.
She basically thought anyone who didnt go to her "black history" assembly was a racist. Especially me, when i said "i have more important things to do, like revising for the maths exams, that YOUR supposed to be helping us with". She flipped.

my current music teacher, she has NO anger in her at all. seriously i pushed my friend over right in front of her just to see her reaction and she didn't do a thing. although i do have to say my class has had a lot of fun because shes like that
Year 12 Physics teachers- both of them nice guys to talk with, but hopeless at teaching. Cheesy video from the 70s, worksheet, leave class for a cup of coffee. God help you if you werent good at physics.
But they weren't the worst- my maths teacher of the same year was. Firstly, he only liked you if you were good at maths. I wasn't that bad (I got a B), but nonetheless he tried to have me booted from the course for not handing in homework. When I produced the fully marked exam paper he had set... story changed quite quickly.
Ironically, in the same year I also met the best teacher I've ever seen, and he was in Chemistry

So far, my 5th grade teacher (as I have one year left of mandatory schooling).
It was the beginning of my first full year in that school district (I was in that 4th grade class for less than 2 months, and we were mainly doing end-of-the-year nothing work for credit). At one point, I got tired of randomly guessing on the fraction problems during our math time, so I asked for help. She asked me what the line in a fraction meant. When I said I didn't know, the yelling started. After getting every other kid's attention with her outburst, she turned to another kid and asked him the same thing. He answered it right and she pretty much said I was stupid and sent me back to my desk. Another time, she gave me a Saturday detention (go in at 8, leave at 12, be constantly doing work or suspension). I did the work I was given there, and she refused to accept it because it wasn't what she wanted me to do, even though she didn't give me any clue what work she wanted. She also did nothing when the other kids were harassing me to the point where I'd fake sickness just to get out of school. In her mind, there was nothing wrong about them making fun of me because of my weight, or the fact that my teeth weren't Hollywood white. She was pure evil during P.E. too. Mile runs and square dancing were the worst, especially when the guys use the dance time to tell you that you're ugly...
If it weren't for the fact that I had the greatest teacher ever the next year, I probably would have severely hurt someone. She went from getting under my skin to drilling into the bone.

So it's alright to heap scorn upon faceless people who cannot defend themselvesGothmogII said:
Teachers put up with a lot of administrative bullshit, get paid very little considering their qualifications and are treated like shit by parents, the media and their own education department.
The reason you can read and write is because of a teacher. The reason you can count is because of a teacher.
If you don?t like a teacher, fine. But don?t ridicule them because you don?t like them. If they did questionable things, then report them. We have teaching regualtions for a reason.
My Junior Cert Business teacher was a bastard. He tried to kill me. LITERRALY. He tried to run me over twice.
Gosh, where do I start?
My year 6 English teacher. She was a stupid, screechy ***** who told us stories don't have speaking in. She made us write a story with only one line a of speech. It was hard... 'Rosie came down the stairs and old her mother she was hungry, her mother gestured towards the fridge' My character was quiet throughout the story >__>
Stupid woman, she knew fuck all about English.
My year 6 form teacher was suspended for smacking a child. A few teachers at my secondary school hated me because of my sister, until they realised how different we are.

My second grade teacher. During my elementary schools years, I was picked on by everyone on a daily basis, some of it getting pretty nasty for little kids. She knew it was happening and did nothing. One day, during a hefty round of verbal abuse, I snapped and told them all to shut up, and she has the gall to punish me for screaming and not them for the harassement. She then promply informed all the other teachers that I had "anger issues."
Second place goes to my freshman math teacher. He had a ridiculus grading scale (one missed question equals a failed test) and would look over your shoulder, breathing heavily, and start talking in his quiet, pedophile voice. Everyone I know who also had him at some point agrees.

I feel bad complaining now, but whatever, let's just roll with it. Here are the worst teachers I've ever had from all three stages of my schooling:
Grade school: beyond a shred of a doubt, my grade 5 teacher. Being the new kid at the school was rough as it was. But this lady was a straight up feminist, favouring my female colleagues over any of us "cursed" with being born with a Y-chromosome. She then proceeded to do NOTHING about the rampant bullying I endured, and even helped facilitate it at some points. I went from being a straight-A student and a generally well-liked fellow to being a C student who was despised by everyone else.
High school: My teacher for Introduction to Psychology and Anthropology (I think that's the actual name of the class; we knew it as "Society: Challenge and Change"). This is an opinions course. You would think that it would be taught by someone who is moderate and even-handed regarding social matters. But no, she was a flat out right-wing loony - you know, the types that make normal "conservatives" look bad. During that term, she denied evolution because "it says so in the Bible", told us to write letters to the prime minister to ban gay marriage, and told me right to the face that my grandfather was going to hell for suicide because the doctors had taken him off of life support when he was dying of bone cancer, and many other things. The crazy part is, I was her favourite student. And here's the kicker: she didn't have any sort of degree. She just had some certificate saying she'd completed some courses at a community college.
University: Thermodynamics 1 professor. Smart guy. Head of fuel cell research in Canada. Has so many degrees and qualifications that the don't fit on a single line. But when it came down to teaching us, he was useless. He was completely addled, always worried about the then-opening fuel cell research centre. He had just transfered from the military academy, and thus was not used to teaching undisciplined university engineers. He managed to get through roughly 60% of the requisite material, which left our entire class floundering when the follow up courses came about. He didn't even teach his own material; he just stole the previous professors slides and read from them.

Oh! That reminds me! My other worst teacher was my English teacher in Year 3. Throughout my childhood, I was a precocious child, especially where English was concerned. I was also extremely lazy, and they thought I was either dyslexic or had Asperger's syndrome, but then administered all sorts of tests and I came out as a 99.7th percentile student. However, as I was lazy, I rarely showed my talents and my love of long words, so always got low grades. When I transferred to a new school at the start of year 3, we had to submit a piece of original writing, and I spent hours trying to get it perfect, because I had a fresh start and a chance to show what I could do to a person who didn't know what I'd been like before, and couldn't judge me because of it. All day I'd been anxious to see what my grade was, because I was sure it was some of my best work. When the assignments were returned, instead of a good grade, I was shocked to see "E. See me."
I went to see her, and she accused me of plagiarism.
Later on, during a spelling test, she spelled 'government' as 'goverment'. When I corrected her, she said that I was wrong, and when I insisted that there was an n in the word, she sent me to the headmistress's office. My parents were called, and the teacher said that I had been rude and told her that she'd spelled government wrong, and said to her that there was an n in it. My parents were quick to inform her that I was right.

I've had a few particularly bad teachers, most of them gym teachers. Seems i don't get along with them at all, my last one and I got into a swearing match because it thought I was a crybaby for complaining about being punched in the balls.
However I have to say My worst two teachers were in freshmen year highschool for biology. the first teacher I had was a nice lady but she wasn't particularly good at explaining things the class average was about a C. then when she had to leave because of her pregnancy we got a new sub and the average rose to a B, except she made the poor mistake of letting a kid out of class while a drug check was going on and because she was a sub she was fired. we then got another sub for a week but he left and then we got the other bio teacher but because she was teaching 7 classes(we only have 8 a day, one is lunch) she had to give us to a recently hired teacher who wasn't supposed to start until next year. She was without a doubt the worst teacher I have ever had. she once explained something as "magic", that's not a joke. another time me and another student spent the half the class explaing to this woman how asthma worked, she couldn't understand how inflamation of the bronchioles could cause constriction of the bronchioles, we had to get the other teacher to reverse her ruling on the question(it was for points on a test).
Also, sorry for spelling errors, I'm on the schools computers, crappy no firefox having.

Oh come on now, we've all had bad teachers and they're more interesting to talk about than the ones that made the class fun.mudshovel said:

I had a teacher that couldn't stop smiling either. In fact, i have him today lol.elitepie931 said:
Anyway, my worst teacher would have to be my 9-10 science teacher. She would give out tests, then grade them depending on how much she liked the person. Because all the questions were essay questions, she has to "interpret" the right answers. I once compared my test to someone who got 30% higher than me, and he wrote almost the exact same thing i did. i go and ask the teacher about it, and she goes "Oh, you wrote it in the wrong way"
My response: "...IT WAS A LIST!!! HOW THE HELL DID I DO IT WRONG!?!??!"
Oh I had completely forgoten about my 5th grade music teacher. you see in my school there were two music teachers one for 1,2, and 3 and one for 4 and 5, and he was an ass. he mad kids cry and then gave them detentions for crying. he held us into lunch periods for no reason, we would just sit around because he was an ass. it got so bad that me and a few of my friends drew up a petition to get rid of this clown, all but one fifth grader signed. little did we know the fourth graders did the same thing and got all the 4th graders to sign. he got the point and quit midway through the year.
once agian, spelling, sorry for it. And yes the is a real story, we did really make a petition in the fifth grade.

I had a 6th grade science teacher who thought a butterfly larva evolved into the actual butterfly and then into a chrysalis...
Does it make any sense an insect evolving into something that can't move or eat or do anything really?
Also had another teacher who was just plain nuts, thought we were all communists plotting her demise, eventually she was forbidden to teach until she got help, and we were told not to go to her classes (she just kept on going and writing down in the logs that we all didn't show up)
