I always had pretty decent teachers, but there was this one despised substitute, Ms. Nettles. She’s dead by now, assumingly, because she was older than dirt 15 years ago. All the kids hated her guts. We couldn’t talk EVER, and I remember one time, after she sub-ed and our teacher came back, Nettles had eaten every piece of candy in the teacher’s glass jar on her desk, leaving only a letter ‘B’ shaped eraser (which for some reason, was in the candy jar). Gluttonous, silence-loving bitch.

Mrs.Baron biology would give questions no one in class could answer and when I did find the answer in my ma’s nursing books thought I cheated. Also hated gum had a huge mountain of gum she took from kids over 10 years, smelled of raid

Is it legal for me to post on SNT when it’s really only noon here? My worst was Mrs. Spears (even her name sounds evil). She was a heinous bitch, and she switched years with me…so that i had her in 4th grade, and then again for English in 5th grade. I still shudder at the memory of her, and that was what, 15 years ago?

I have plenty of horrible teacher stories… let’s see.
I was smarter than my 3rd grade teacher. Y’know… When I was in third grade. (Not more educated, obviously. But smarter.) She was a tyrant and she used my mold allergy to her advantage.
9th grade English student teacher– Mrs. Mills. We called her “The Mill.” She was a 4’8″ ball. She tried to fail me because I didn’t agree with her about… something. Oh! The draft. We had to write a paper about the draft possibly being reinstated, and I was against it. After she left my very reasonable B was reinstated… Also she couldn’t pronounce the word “Huzzah!”
11th grade physics– Mr. Leach. Actually, he was an okay guy. He was a horrible teacher though. He’d repeat himself daily about some things, leave other things out, and he had a really annoying voice and bad handwriting. If I could redo that class I’d have started a black market for essays, tests (he did makeups with the same exact questions) and lab reports. I would’ve been rich, and everyone would’ve gotten A’s. Actually, I’ve never harbored so much dislike for someone who gave me an A+ before…

My third grade teacher hated me so much that she threw a pen at me and, later, a stapler. I mean, she actually threw these things directly at my head, in front of everyone. No one could ever figure out what I did to make her hate me so much. Those two incidents were the worst out of many things she did. Maybe she thought I was the devil reborn, or something.
I also had a piano teacher who slapped me in the face in front of the whole class, because I made some kind of smartass comment (although whatever it was, it wasn’t THAT bad).
I was a pretty good student for both of these teachers. Interestingly, I had a teacher some years later for whom I was an absolute hellion, and she loved me!

Mr. Gatewood. a substitute i had throughout middle and high school. although he was pretty funny, he threw erases and change when you didn’t answer questions right.
and mrs. pittman who i had for statistics my 2nd semester of college. i blame her as my sole reason for dropping out of school. aside from being completely hard headed and arrogant she only lectured while screaming.

One of my worst teachers was my art teacher from senior year. She refused to take into account the effort and amount of time we put into our pieces… She just graded them based upon whether she liked them or not. She would also change/steal our work and display it at art exhibitions without asking — or even telling — us first.

I remember our principle once subbed for our teacher and we were doing something on Ancient Egypt, so he asked the class what modern-day structures would last as long as the great pyramids. I raised my hand, said, “The Empire State building…?” and he said, “lol, trick question, there is no such structure, Egyptians rule, F for the day.”
Or something like that. Asshat. Forth graders aren’t suppodes to know about retorical questions.
Mrs Gunson – what a bitch! She clipped me round me ear for accidentally ripping a piece of paper, and managed to give another kid a black eye by throwing a board eraser at him. The days when you could assault kids and get away with it!

Had a teacher in middle school that wasn’t a horrible person, she was just clueless. So, of course everyone tried to get away with as much as possible. I pulled a full bookshelf over on myself (in the middle of one of her ‘lectures’)and blamed a gravitational shift. She wasn’t sure what to do about it, so nothing ever came of it.

I was in the last year before retirement for my fourth grade teacher, so I didn’t really learn jack ess that year. He just did NOT care any more, though he continued on as a substitute in town afterwards. Actually most of the very worst teachers I’ve had have been subs, but fortunately that’s only a temporary situation. I also disliked my first grade teacher, though now I can only recall one weird incident. She was really frail and ancient, and one February she was telling the class about Martin Luther King Jr., and to explain his accomplishments she told everyone, “If it wasn’t for Martin Luther King, Squee couldn’t be here in the class with the rest of us”. Now, I’m not African-American; I’m half Chicano and pretty much look it, I think. To this day I’ve never figured out if she was confused, or if I was just the most obvious person of color in class or what, but it was kind of a shitty way to single out a six year old from every other kid in the room.

There have been boring teachers, teachers who didn’t wear deoderant, that sort of thing. I can’t pick a specific teacher, but I can pick a category of teachers I hate the most.
Gym teachers who are too fat and out of shape to do the things they’re making you do. When I was little I just wondered how they got to be gym teachers in the first place; by junior high, I was pissed off that they got paid for anything. My seventh grade gym teacher looked like Mimi from the Drew Carey show, and I couldn’t take it.

Ms. Sommer in 5th grade used to give me holy hell about my handwriting. Now, I know it’s bad, but I’d slave away at some essay, and she wouldn’t take it unless I wrote it neater. Not because she couldn’t read it, but because she felt it was her obligation to teach me better handwriting… except she didn’t TEACH me better handwriting, she just said “do it again.” She also assigned an MLK project around his birthday that year- we had to make some kind of scroll with events from his life. She had me benched for both recesses that day (it was in California where the eating area was outside so the teachers could “bench” you during recess by making you sit there and what the other kids play). I was supposed to finish it, but she kept telling me I needed to do more. She wouldn’t give any other guidance than that. “No, you need MORE.” She also suggested that I might have neurological problems. The only teacher my mother ever had an argument with. None of the other parents liked that teacher either.

I have had some teachers that I really didn’t care for either, but I think you may want to be careful about posting names on the internet. I myself am a teacher, and one thing I have learned is that many of these people are good people, but not that great at their jobs.
Although I am not the most competent teacher myself, it still frustrates me how some students are impossible to please. I have made my own mistakes, but have done my best to correct them and become a more effective teacher.
I am not defending a teacher that throws objects at students, but before you hold an endless grudge against a former teacher (and post it for all to see), remember they are still people. Besides, did you do your best to ensure that they were able to teach you as much as they could? Education is not the sole responsibility of the teacher. Students have to be willing to involve themselves as well.
I will now step off my podium and let you commence with the talk back.

definitely not my worst, but the first that comes to mind is my 7th grade science teacher who lost a piece to one of her microscopes once. she freaked out, yelling, crying, accused everyone of stealing it, threatened to cancel our field trip. she found the piece later that day…in the microscope. and was kind enough to not bother apologizing.

My 7th grade social studies teacher was a diehard communist. Me being a diehard capitalist meant that of course we wouldn’t get along, but she was the one grading my papers… >:( I would literally get C’s for expressing pro-capitalist sentiments.
My 8th grade english teacher just hated me for some reason. She gave me A’s on every paper and assignment that I wrote then when it came time to assign semester grades she gave me a B and made up some stupid reason why when I asked about it. She also didn’t understand that ‘creative writing’ implies, well, *creativity.* We had an exact, and I mean *exact* form and process we needed to follow when writing anything fiction, else we’d get really horrible grades and also get berrated in front of everybody for not following ‘the rules.’
But the honor of worst teacher ever goes to a guy I (thankfully) never got. I’d heard the horror stories, and the only experience of seeing him teach was walking past the lecture hall where his class was to see him pacing back and forth *on top of his desk* while screaming to his students about how stupid they were. What a jerk.

There’s just no way I could pinpoint any over the others. So many incompetent ones. It’d be easier to make a list of the teachers I had that didn’t suck. I’m not going to do that either because I’d forget one and feel bad about it later.

I’ll go with two. My high school physics teacher, who was deemed incompetant a year after I had her. She treated us like Kindergartners and made us do assigments accordingly. We didn’t complain because well it was an easy B. The rest of my cohort, being the nerds they are complained the next year and actually learned something from the new teacher. Like I care. I took it in college, its all good.
And then, the worst of all. This guy said he came all the way from California just to teach. And I was like, well you chose unwisely, pack it up and go home. He was teaching Elem. Statistics and I almost took over the class on several occasions. If I hadn’t had been a freshman at the time I would have, I still thought I should afford him some respect. So I just told him what he did wrong at the end of every class. He was appreciative in speech, but I’m sure he hated my guts. Not my fault. He went on to unemployment the following semester and I went on to publishing an article on Equivalency Testing with some of my professors.
“Who’s your daddy now, bitch?!?!!”

When I was entering 10th grade, my family moved from Minneapolis to bumfucknowhere in Washington state. I had always done pretty well in school and the school I was starting out there did not have the AP type program that I was in before. So, the classes for my grade I had pretty much already taken. So, to fill my schedule I took Horticulture. Everyone told me the easiest way to get an A was to sit up front and flirt with the teacher. (A 60 year old good old boy type) When I (and my sister) went to that class on the first day of school, we noticed there were only 2 other girls in the class and they were indeed up front. Thinking we were wise, we sat in the back. He never called either of us by our names the entire semester, we were “Miss Priss” and I ended up with a D- in the class. Now you have to know this was one of those classes where we never did jack, and learned nothing. Our assingments were things like, “Go outside and pick some weeds.” I was so furious, but being only 15 I had no idea how I could fight it. All through highschool I got mostly A’s with some B’s. But because of that D- I did not graduate with honors and my GPA was off. I am getting angry thinking about it. I need some wine now…
Mrs. Dissauer, a substitute teacher I had in elementary school and middle school. She almost always had a sour look on her face, and was genuinely unpleasant to everyone. We called her Mrs. Dinosauer because she was a huge fat bitch.
