Share your bad teacher horror stories.

I knew of a teacher who was extremely unfair in grading. She favored certain students and would give them high marks even when their work was mediocre. Meanwhile, other students who worked hard got much lower grades for similar quality work. This unfairness created a very negative and competitive atmosphere in the class.

Well, I once missed a credit card payment by just a few days due to a busy schedule. Next thing I knew, my interest rate skyrocketed. It was a nightmare as I ended up paying so much more than I expected just because of that one small mistake.

I had a Snap On screwdriver that the tip bent really easily. I was just using it on a normal screw, not applying excessive force, and it bent. It was really disappointing considering the price of Snap On tools.

A friend of mine had acrylic nails that were so long and pointy that she accidentally scratched her own face while sleeping. It left a long mark and she was so scared it would scar. Since then, she never got long acrylic nails again.

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.

One time, my math teacher would always yell at students for not understanding concepts immediately. He never took the time to explain things differently. If you asked a question, he'd make you feel stupid.

One of my bad college teacher stories was about a professor who was always late for class. He would stroll in 15 minutes or more after the scheduled start time, without any apology. It made the students feel disrespected and it disrupted the learning rhythm.

One common element is lack of respect for students. Bad teachers often humiliate students in public, like the teacher who called students stupid when they made mistakes.

My meanest teacher was Mr. Smith. He would always single out students for no reason. Once, I made a small mistake in my homework and he made me stand in front of the class for an entire hour. It was so embarrassing and made me hate going to his class.

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.
