Share your meanest teacher stories.

One teacher used to compare students to each other all the time. She would say things like 'Look at how well John is doing and then look at you'. This made those of us who were not as good at academics feel really bad about ourselves. She also had a habit of ignoring students who raised their hands to ask questions if she didn't like them. It was really unfair.

Dating a teacher is unethical and inappropriate in most educational settings. However, I once heard a story where a student had a crush on a teacher but it was just a one - sided admiration. The student realized it was wrong and focused on their studies instead.

In English class, we were doing a reading aloud session. One student mispronounced a word really badly, and the teacher tried to correct him but ended up saying it even more ridiculously. The whole class burst into laughter, and the teacher couldn't help but join in.

I once had a teacher who constantly yelled at students for minor mistakes. For example, if you forgot your textbook, he would make you stand in the corner for the whole class and berate you in front of everyone. It was really humiliating and made many students afraid of going to his class.

Well, I had this teacher, Ms. Brown. She was extremely impatient. If a student didn't understand a concept right away, she would just move on without helping much. She also had a very strict grading system. I once handed in a project that I worked really hard on, but she gave me a very low grade just because it wasn't exactly the way she wanted it, without considering the effort I put in.

In college, I had a literature teacher who was very unhelpful. He would assign long and complex reading materials but never provided any guidance on how to approach them. When we had discussions, he would cut students off and not really listen to different perspectives. It felt like he was just going through the motions of teaching without actually helping us understand the subject matter. For example, when we were analyzing a difficult poem, instead of guiding us through the various interpretations, he just expected us to already know. This made many students lose interest in the class.

One of my bad teacher horror stories was having a teacher who would constantly yell at students for no good reason. If you made a small mistake like forgetting a book, she'd shout as if it was the end of the world. It was so intimidating that many students were afraid to ask questions in class.

I once had a teacher who would always single out students of a certain race for harsher punishments. For example, if a white student and a black student were late for class, the black student would get detention while the white student just got a warning. It was really unfair.

I had a wonderful teacher named Miss Lee. She was not only great at teaching literature but also cared about our personal growth. She organized a book club where we could freely discuss our thoughts on different books. She also taught us valuable life lessons through the stories in the books we read, like how to be kind and empathetic.

One time I had a teacher who would constantly yell at students for the tiniest mistakes. If you didn't write your name in exactly the way she wanted on a paper, she'd make you rewrite the whole thing. It was so frustrating and made the learning environment really tense.
