Who was the worst teacher you've ever had?

What happened with you?

I turned up to sports day not in uniform, she had a go at me for it and said I called her a Paki (I didn't). My word vs hers and they believed her.

Ah Lord, there were a few. I went to an awful academy for Years 7 to 11 where something like 23% of the people got 5A*-C in my year group... I've narrowed it down to the absolute worst of the worst.

- My year 10 physics teacher. He taught us completely the wrong modules, then wondered why the majority of us ended up with E's and D's in the modules. He told me I was useless, but then I taught myself and got A's and A*'s in the modules (the only one in the class to do so) when they were resat. He took the credit, and shouted at the class "if she can do it, so can you". Stupid onion head. He left after year 10 results day. I was the only one in my year to get an A in physics, and that's because I self taught after our chemistry teacher had to teach us physics as well in Year 11.

- OCR Nationals ICT teacher for Year 10 and 11. Grrr. I'd got Distinctions and Merits in Year 9 with a fantastic teacher, but we got lumbered with this useless thing and he lost our coursework. Would never help us, would just sit at his desk eating donuts and screenshotting our activities. I became very pissed off with him once...He basically told me in front of the whole class as we were walking out, "you're one of those people who can't afford to get fewer than two GCSE's in ICT to get the 5A*-C". Luckily, someone stuck up for me, saying "but she's an A* student who's also doing her A level chemistry". He looked at me in disbelief as I just shook my head at him and walked out. Imagine his face when he opened the paper after GCSE results to see I'd come out top of the year.

- Year 10 English teacher. Lovely, funny woman, but couldn't teach or control our class.

- PE teacher. My GP became fed up with having to write letters to her as she wouldn't believe I wasn't able to do it.

- The deputy and assistant head principles and the heads of sixth form. Without my consultation, they decided I had to leave the school on the day I'd enrolled at their sixth form because I was apparently "too bright" for them, and they thought they'd be "letting me down". This resulted in me having to transfer to a school I never wanted to go to, to do subjects I never wanted to do, and my already low confidence sunk even lower for a whole two years and I didn't do anywhere near as good in my A levels as I should have done had I believed in myself (I still did well, but not as good as I wanted). I would have complained, but my brother went to that school and I didn't want to make things awkward for him. When he was applying for sixth form, he didn't apply to theirs, and they kept trying to persuade him to stay. He turned around and said, "After what you did to my sister? No way, not happening".

Some **** in sixth form took a screen shot of me verbally abusing my sixth form tutor on my private twitter account and sent it to the headteacher (who ironically was also a diehard lesbian) and i got excluded leading up to my A2 exams. Managed to revise all the subjects and now I'm in uni. The headteacher was like "you wont amount to anything after this". Proved that hooch-muncher wrong and I'm in uni with a 2:1.

The way your wrote this anecdote is hilarious! I do feel sorry for you! Had the exam same problem with a History teacher. But it was about Fascism in Italy and Napoleon. She'd always give me Ds and Cs for saying it was down to other factors, rather than prasing her ideas and theories!

She told our class (at this point I dropped History in April just before the exam cause I hated her so much) not to revise Napoleon cause she said he wouldn't come up cause he's come up in the past 3 years... To the class' disadvantage, he came up and everyone failed so they had to retake that exam. Safe to say, half the class dropped the subject, whilst the others took the exam. Funny how, even though the other group didn't have her, they complained about a new History teacher, saying he's awful, but at least none of them had to retake!

By that point there were only 6 people in my history set, and I won't be surprised if we all fail the exam. Everyone is dreading results day. I hate that in just one year history possibly became my worst subject, and up until this point it was the subject I was best at. I want to study it at university regardless, because one bad teacher will not get rid of my passion for the subject. So far, I've spent most of my summer revising for the year 13 history modules, I'm willing to spend all of my free time to get an A next year, and I'm also mentally prepared for the resit.

Good on you hun!

Do you know if you'll be having the same teachers?

The teacher I mentioned got 'fired' after about 3 months. We later got a really good teacher, unfortunately we still ran out of time to learn everything. The new teacher also left and in his place we got 2 new teachers. I think they will do a good job, but no one will ever be as good as the teacher I had for my GCSEs and the start of year 12.

The worst teacher i ever had was my drama teacher in yr 8 & 9 because she favoured those who would act and make a fool of themselves and didn't understand the idea of 'shyness'
She would humiliate people in front of the class and get angry if you weren't confident.
I couldn't wait to drop drama and since then have become more confident than ever before!

Every drama teacher I had was a right *****. I wonder if there is any correlation between being a drama teacher and being a ****.

My psychology teacher told me that I was in love with my father, having annotated my work with the word 'penis'.
