What are some worst student teaching stories?

One of the worst teaching stories I've heard was about a teacher who constantly ridiculed students for asking questions. The students became afraid to participate in class, and their learning enthusiasm was greatly dampened.

One horror story could be when a student teacher is completely ignored by the students. They talk over the teacher, refuse to follow instructions, and make it impossible to conduct a proper lesson. It's like the teacher is invisible and their efforts are in vain.

One of my student teaching stories was when I had a student who was really shy at first. He rarely participated in class discussions. But I noticed he was really good at writing. So I encouraged him to write down his thoughts and share them with the class in written form first. Gradually, he gained more confidence and started to speak up in class. It was amazing to see his transformation.

One more story is about a student who would cheat during exams all the time. The teacher tried different methods to prevent cheating, like changing the seating arrangement and using different exam formats. But the student still found ways to cheat. Eventually, the teacher had to involve the school administration, which was a long and complicated process.

A memorable story was when a student surprised me with a handmade thank - you card at the end of the teaching period. It had all these drawings of things we had learned in class. It was so simple yet so heartwarming. It made me realize how much of an impact I had on the students.

Books are great teaching resources. Classic literature can expose students to different writing styles and story structures. For instance, reading 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' can inspire students to write adventure - based stories.

Perhaps the teacher was very strict about teaching Varali Ragam. He made the student practice for hours every day. But the student was determined. One day, after months of practice, the student finally had a breakthrough and was able to perform Varali Ragam beautifully, much to the teacher's pride. This shows how the teacher's tough approach led to the student's success in learning the ragam.

One horror story could be finding mold everywhere in the room. It was on the walls, ceiling, and even in the closet. The smell was unbearable and it made the student constantly sick. Another could be having extremely noisy neighbors who partied all night long, preventing any chance of studying or getting proper rest.

A man gambled away his entire life savings at a casino. He lost his house, his car, and his family's trust. He ended up in a deep depression and had to start from scratch.

Sure. One of the worst is being in a school with a very authoritarian principal. A teacher I know had no freedom to design her own curriculum. Everything was dictated by the principal, and any deviation was severely punished. It was like teaching in a prison.
