Your worst teachers

I'm sure we've all had some terrible teachers in our day. Post about your worst/most ridiculous teachers!
I had a PE teacher in 9th grade that didn't even show up for class about one third of the time.
Another third of the time, she showed up, and our PE class consisted of us sitting on the bleachers for an hour doing homework or talking.
The other third of the time we would spend our PE hour walking around the track.
In 10th grade most of my assignments in history class were coloring. I could go on and on but I want to hear yours.

i had this history teacher my freshman year of high school. she wasn't to bad looking for a middle aged women. barely anyone would pay attention, so she would tell the people that wanted to pay attention to bring their desks near her and she would teach them and let the rest of the class to do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't disturb her little group.
i would hang out with friends and talk...somehow i passed that class with an A or B...
a couple of years ago she got arrested because she was somehow "involved" with a student, it made the paper.

My worst teacher was. Mr. Ragwen he had a very annoying voice, very unfair [so cliche for me to say this, but believe me], and he could never control the classroom. and he would blame alot of things on me even though i was the one doing most of the assignment and what not.
i went to a middle school in a bad area of los angeles, so the kids in my class were always walking out, talking/screaming non-stop, nobdy did the work, it was science class so everyobody was always stealing equipment and messing with the gas lines, and i swear- everyday someone would throw stinkbomb inside the class, and it had no ventilation whatsoever. now that i think about it was more of the class being bad. lol so thats what probably led him to become quite a dickhead.

LA representin! But seriously, LA schools suck ass. And yeah I had many classes where the teachers long ago gave up caring about the students and would continue to ramble on quietly, facing the chalkboard, despite everyone throwing shit and making tons of noise.
I learned almost nothing in all of high school. At least not at school anyway.

in 7th grade my math teacher didn't really speak much english and she didnt know what she was talking about. she read straight from the book and i remember one day she couldnt find her teacher text book so we didnt do anything that day.
8thgrd My PE class made a substitute teacher break down and cry one day (the real teacher was pregnant/had a kid). she quit soon after, it was awkward cuz it was my friends mom. Then the subs sub came and she was alright, she switched off every other day with this 24yrold named Ms. New or something, i remember her telling me that her boyfriend was cooler than i was. I think she was insecure.

I've had some crazies...
My 12th grade physics teacher who was obsessed with god. I know, physics teacher god freak... He contradicted himself with every word! He'd always answer me with, "In due time....in due time."
My 6th grade math/homeroom teacher. He talked like Ben Stein. No emotion, a fucking ROCK. It was almost impossible to learn Algebra from that guy... It just sounded like "Blah blah blah...blaaaaaahh blahhhh" He had a saying though that I liked: Practice Makes Permanent.
Come to think of it those are my only really bad teachers. I enjoyed my school years, and I became friends with a lot of my teachers along the way.

Wow...you guys really all sound like big pussies.
I don't know about policy in the states. But in Canada, teachers are allowed to discipline students exactly like a parent would, which includes physical punishment. Our civics and law teacher showed us the rule the first day to remind us that if we were noisy or talked back, he was allowed to hit us, and this man also happened to be the gym teacher, weight lifting coach, and the rowing instructor (ie: BIG FUCKING ARMS) . No one said a fucking word in that class.
I just remembered his name though, Mr. Doug Pratt...he was a pratt too...

My SS teacher in grade 10 was an ex prison guard, if that tells you anything about that class. After he gave us our assignment, he would sit at his desk in the front and stare at anyone who moved/talked/breathed. He made a few people cry over that semester, and probably many more followed. The weird thing about him was that most people swore they had seen him smoking a joint in his truck at some point; he wasn't very mellow for a supposed pothead.

my 11th grade world history teacher was a retired army vet, he was a combat medic with the 101st airborne, anyway we had no homework other than reading a chapter or two, we had a test every day on what we were supposed to read, the rest of the class was fuck off time or discussion or soemthing... about once a week he'd have us doing something, the most memorable was the phalanx... we faced off against the football team and whipped some ass....
I dont remember any bad teachers,

I feel like I know him already 
I don't remember too many of my teachers, and only the good ones where I do. Like the elementary school teacher who played arena football. He was awesome. He once grabbed a kid who had farted in class by the neck and lifted him up against the wall. We all thought he was going to kill him, but he just gave him a good verbal thrashing. He tried to walk outside first after that incident.

She's just trying to hide that fact that she likes to play dice in the alley after school is out.

My English class in Grade 10 was one I skipped a lot but English is a subject I'm good at and I should have been able to at least pass. This teacher was the wife of the school's principal and it was pretty obvious she got the go ahead to pick favourite students.
At the end of the semester she invited us all to come and look at her computer with her so she could show us our grades before report cards came out. I go up and look at my grade and it's 49%, I asked if there was any extra work I could do to make up that 1% to pass and she told me no and that I shouldn't be surprised.
I have no doubt that she failed me like that because I was almost always stoned and she knew I thought she was a crazy cat lady. She had a huge table covered in all these knick-knacks, I would guess at least 30 of them, and every single one was some kind of cat.
She also had a coffee maker in her classroom so she wouldn't have to walk over to the staff room (I'm sure the other teachers hated the special treatment she got). I never saw her without a huge cup of coffee, I'm guessing she drank two or three full 12-cup pots of coffee during school every day.
I ended up switching schools after that year and after a month of doing grade 10 "Communications" (Short-bus English) they bumped me up to English 11. 
I know this story was long and boring for everybody else but she really got on my nerves.

My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Greening... We were all sitting on the big rug, and she keeps the door that leads outside open all the time. So a bee flew in the room and landed on my head, so I felt it to see what it was and it stung me. I started crying, and apparently that made her mad so she made me stay inside from recess that day. It sucked.

Ms. Deer. Fourth grade. An old (and I mean OLD) lady with a face like a rock quarry that had been dynamited. She had an annoying voice and pronounced things strangely. Like we would be taken outside and lined up and given small cups filled with mouthwash and instead of "Rinse" it sounded like she said "Wrench!!"
She sent me to the principal's office for a whipping once for, get this, sneezing too loud!
I thought for sure she was dead but recently I spotted her at a public event. I wasn't sure it was her at first..she had aged even more and her eyes had strangely sunken into her face in a glaring visage of ancient evil. She looked like the Evil Emperor from Star Wars. I almost felt sorry for her.

We had a maths teacher called Mrs. Krone. One time the entire class just engaged each other in 'felt-pen combat'. That is, desks were upturned and everyone was just pelting felt-tip pens at everyone else. It was fucking great. She went out of the room and didn't come back for the rest of the lesson.
Another time we had an African guy teaching R.E., I never liked those lessons. Anyways, one day I squirted a water bottle at his head. He went to get the headmaster so I climbed out the window and went home.
We had an IT teacher that was on sick leave for well over a year. One winter when he was there however it had been snowing quite badly, he was on duty at playtime. Someone threw a snowball at him and he caught it, laughed and looked so smug. Cue the entire playground turning around and hurling snowballs at him. Someone got him right in the face and knocked his glasses off. He went back inside crying apparently.
School was fucking great.
