Teachers that you
Teachers that you hated having the most.
Well, my P.E. teacher. I don't like her. At all.
1. She favors people.
2. She assumed that I didn't know anything about any sports just because I'm new.
3. There's a girl in our grade with disabilities. So? She's still a normal person. Not according to my P.E. teacher.
4. All we ever do is talk about "girl power" and "changing bodies."
5. She doesn't accept that all girls are different. Some people don't LIKE bouncing outside a Vanderbilt women's basketball game.
6. Too. Many. Stereotypes.
7. BARGING INTO OUR LOCKER ROOM AT RANDOM TIMES!!!!! And all right, we're girls. But a boy in my homeroom tells me that she goes into the BOYS locker room, too!
What about the rest of you (that includes Admins)
I can't think of any teachers I've hated, but I remember one who was really boring. He was a substitute and he just read from the textbook, which we were supposed to have read before class anyway.
My most memorable teachers are the ones I've really loved. My Latin teacher was a real Renaissance woman. She'd taught Latin, French, German, English, and history, all well. She made "Latin live today." I learned more English grammar from her than I ever did in English class.

1. my math teacher assumes that everyone is perfect, and everyone will do all homework on time. If not, you deserve the punishment of your life.
2. She lets being late for something ruin her entire life (I`m pretty sure she could try and be more positive).
3. When her life has been ruined, it is apparently a good idea to blame her students.
4. Almost every day she keeps us in late, mostly for stupid stuff like not putting that fraction two inches away from where you put it.
5. She has this annoying "you`ll thank me for this someday" look when she yells at people.

@ Admins
Yeah. All of my substitutes have been like that.

My Language Arts teacher.
1) She pronounces everything wrong and can't spell sequence. (She spelled it like "sequents".) Really, a Language Arts teacher should be able to spell!
2) She gives way too much homework. On a typical night, I get one hour of homework from all my other teachers together and two hours from her.
3) She meows when she gets annoyed. Really.
4) She dissects books and makes us overanalyze them so much that the response to lit that one person does, ONE PERSON, is probably longer than the book itself!
I also had a science teacher last year that I really hated, but I'm not even going to write about her...

Well... I have a boring math teacher this year. But she's a nice person, so it's not so bad. Last year's teacher was way way better, though.
My biology teacher can be kind of annoying. For example I once had a disagreement with her, and she stated quite blatantly that I didn't know what I was talking about and must not have done my research. What is more, she did it in this condescending, simpering, "oh you poor young sheltered ignorant child" voice.
So I went and looked it up and brought her my research. And I was right. And she acted rather like that was what she had been saying all along.

Oh... bad teachers...
...dear me.
1. The way our school gym teacher system works is pretty complicated, but basically, there are four of them, three guys and one girl. The girli's the gym teacher that you want, hands down, she's the best. One of the guys is also pretty good. Guy B... talks too much. Far too much. Can't stop explaining the rules. He's the one I have this year. I don't like him at all, but I like gym in general, because I get to throw things at people.
Guy C: Totally, completely, uh, stereotized? That's not a word, but he thinks that girls can't do anything. Very annoying. His gym class is so separated, it's ridiculous. This is middle school. I can still run faster than everyone in my gym class, and I'm taller than all of them too. But no, with Guy C, it's the girls play against the girls, the guys play against the guys. Who carries everything? The guys. And they're not being gentlemanly or anything. They don't want to carry those weights that hold down the pickle ball net. But Guy C tells them to do it. He actually said, "Show the girls how to set it up." As if we were idiots or something.

2. My math teacher. She can't teach math. I'm taking Honors Algebra II, which is a sophomore class, possibly honors. Not sure. But anyway, at the public high school, they have fifty minute periods. We only have forty minutes. Our math class loses an entire period each week, and my math teacher uses that as an excuse to load on the homework and shut us up and not answer our questions. She gives us a ten minute lesson, and spends the other half hour going over the previous night's homework. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Teach us, and then answer any questions so we don't get confused over the homework? I just do my homework in class, now, because at home it takes me at least an hour.

3. That's all for now. Last year, I had a really, really bad social studies teacher... I won't even get into that.

Did anyone see that 9News video about Holly Winter and her visual amnesia? She's my math teacher.
(December 3, 2011 - 8:59 pm)
I should have elaborated more on that last post. She's actually a really cool person. But she gets confused easily (who's who, where she left stuff, etc.) and in turn confuses everyone else. :) When I was in her homeroom class I was her assistant teacher & class photographer. I took pics for her sometimes and reminded her when she forgot something.

My gym teacher makes us do extremely embarrassing exercises, which I can't explain. Then she gets mad at us because we are laughing our heads. If you don't throw a basketball right, she shakes her head and gets annoyed. She favors the girls who are in gymnastics. The rest of us are nobodys. She's always really mean to this one girl, and yells at her for talking when everyone else is, too. She talked about me behind my back, and it wasn't nice.
(December 6, 2011 - 10:36 am)
Wait, your gym teacher talks about you behind your back?!?! That's crazy! My old music teacher was that way too though, (not the talking about people behind their backs) she was super nice to everyone who was in the choir, and hated everyone who wasn't. She would pretend not to hear certain people talking or blame it on someone else when she knew perfectly well who it was. My friend Maya got a large dose of hysterical screaming from the music teacher for holding her recorder wrong!

I'm homeschooled, so my teacher is my mom. And I don't judge her. I think she is an excellent teacher. It's because of her PhD in Classics that I am the Latin student that I am. As far as bad teachers go, I guess I don't really know any.
But I was recently with my cousin (she lives in Germany, by the way) and she talked for ages about how bad her teachers were, etc. I felt bad for her.
(December 7, 2011 - 6:56 pm)
Hi Mattie! You went to Germany recently, right? Was it awesome? :)
@Snake- Yes, she did. I can't swim well, and we MUST take swimming at school, and she has to take everything so seriously. So I didn't swim well, and she said something really mean. I'm so glad she isn't coming skiing.
Another teacher favors the boys. She says the girls don't participate; we raise our hands to show her that we are listening and she never picks us.

The Guidance teacher. She's directing the winter concert and this dancing thing you can sign up for. She yells a lot and always says, "Do you even know what you're doing?"
And my science teacher. I asked him if there's any extra-credit projects and he replied "no" with a mean smile.
