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.
My worst teacher was bad because of her lack of teaching skills. She couldn't explain things clearly. For example, when we were learning about complex math concepts, she would just read from the book and expect us to understand. And she was very cold towards students. She never encouraged us or tried to build our confidence. She just seemed to be there to pass the time and get paid.
A preschool teacher I knew was very impatient. When the kids asked her simple questions, she would roll her eyes and give short, rude answers. It made the kids feel like they couldn't approach her.
My worst experience was with a substitute who was extremely strict for no reason. She didn't allow anyone to even whisper or move slightly. It was like being in a prison. Everyone was so tense and couldn't focus on the lesson.
I knew of a preschool teacher who was always on her phone instead of interacting with the children. She'd just let the kids play by themselves without any guidance. Once, a little boy fell and hurt himself, but she didn't notice right away because she was too busy texting. This is really unacceptable as preschool teachers are supposed to be vigilant and take care of the kids.
One story I heard was about a substitute who fell asleep during class. The students were left to their own devices and started causing chaos. They were running around, throwing things, and no learning took place at all.
I know a case where a teacher completely ignored a student who had learning difficulties. The parent noticed that the student was falling behind and tried to communicate with the teacher. But the teacher brushed it off, saying the student was just lazy. The parent had to fight really hard to get the school to take the student's situation seriously and provide proper support.
One of my worst Christmas ever was when I got really sick. I had a high fever and couldn't enjoy any of the Christmas food or activities. I just lay in bed all day while my family was having fun downstairs. It was so frustrating to miss out on all the celebration.
One of my worst days ever was when I missed my flight. I woke up late, rushed to the airport, but still couldn't make it. I had to pay a huge fee to reschedule, and then wait for hours at the airport. It was so frustrating.
I knew a mom who favored one of her children over the others. She would give all the best things, like new clothes and extra treats, to the favored child, while the other kids had to make do with very little. This created a lot of resentment and a very unhappy family environment. It's a mom's job to love and care for all of her children equally.
