What are some new teacher horror stories?

One teacher horror story could be a teacher who constantly yells at students for no good reason. For example, a student asks a simple question to clarify a point in the lesson, and the teacher snaps and starts shouting, making the student feel humiliated and afraid to participate in class again.

In some cases, a teacher might play favorites blatantly. For example, they always give the best opportunities, like leading group projects or getting extra help, to a select few students. This not only makes other students feel left out but also creates an unfair learning environment. Students who are not in the 'favorite' group may start to dislike the teacher and the subject.

One horror story is when a parent blames the teacher for their child's bad grades without realizing the child never does homework. The parent yells at the teacher in front of the whole class, making the teacher feel humiliated and the students uncomfortable.

There was a case where a preschool teacher had a child with severe behavioral issues. The child would constantly throw tantrums, hitting and biting other kids. The teacher tried every method she knew to control the situation, but it was really a horror for her as she was constantly worried about the safety of the other children and the emotional well - being of this troubled child. It took a long time and a lot of cooperation with the parents to start seeing some improvement.

One horror story could be students missing out on crucial exam prep. When teachers strike, students might not get the in - depth guidance they need for upcoming important tests, which can lead to poor performance and affect their future educational opportunities.

In some teacher strikes, students from lower - income families suffer the most. They may not have access to alternative educational resources like private tutoring or online courses. So, they end up falling behind their peers from more affluent families who can afford such extra help. This inequality in educational opportunity during a strike is a real horror story.

Another horror story could be dealing with parents who are overly critical and uncooperative. A teacher in NYC once had a situation where a parent blamed the teacher for their child's bad grades, even though the child was constantly skipping homework. The parent harassed the teacher, and the school didn't provide much protection to the teacher.

One new teacher story is about a teacher who just started at an inner - city school. On her first day, she walked into a classroom full of rowdy students. Instead of getting angry, she started sharing interesting facts about herself, like how she once traveled to a far - off country. The students were immediately intrigued and quieted down. This set a positive tone for the rest of the year as she continued to build relationships with them through her unique approach.

I heard of a teacher horror story where the teacher was very unfair in grading. They would give good grades to their favorite students regardless of the actual work quality, and give very low grades to those they didn't like. For example, one student worked really hard on a project but got a much lower grade than another student who just did a mediocre job but was the teacher's pet. This created a lot of frustration and disappointment among the students.

One horror story is when a teacher misjudged a student completely. The teacher told the parents their child was lazy and uninterested in learning. But in reality, the child was struggling with a learning disability that the teacher hadn't noticed. The parents were shocked and angry as they had been trying hard to support their child at home.
