We all know what kind of difference a good teacher can make in someone's life. A skilled educator has an opportunity to inspire students to pursue their goals and talents, can recognize their strengths and give them the most important knowledge they can offer. While we all should celebrate all of the amazing teachers out there, many schools still lack compassionate, thoughtful and talented teachers. A Twitter user who recently started a thread asking people to share their crappy teacher stories proves that some people are simply unsuited to do this important job. In the eye-opening and shocking thread, people shared stories of harrowing teachers who abused their power over students, humiliated and bullied them.

Encourage him to take up base-jumping and swimming with great white sharks. None of the seven deadly sins will be committed.

Talking of respect, I had a new ROTC teacher come in screaming at us talking about if you respect me I'll respect you while showing us zero respect. I made it my main mission in life to make him hate his and I succeeded. I got many other students on board and he barely lasted the year.. I'm willing to bet I took years off that man's life.

Like I read somewhere: usually when people say "respect me or I won't respect you," they really mean "respect me as an authority figure or I won't respect you as a person"

You do wonder how "creation scientists" got a job teaching, since judging by the rest of the post this was not the Bible belt

This makes my head hurt. That they let a creationist teach science is bewildering beyond words. It's like letting a flat earther teach geography or an anti-vaxxer teach health class.

While I am a Christian and don't believe the world is that old, I respect that others do and wouldn't fail anyone for different beliefs than mine!

There are also many Christians who do believe the world is that old and happily marry the science and evidence with their beliefs. https://fullerstudio.fuller.edu/say-dinosaurs-christian-physicist-reflects-origins-life/

This reminds me of almost all of my teachers, especially my old art teacher. My friends draw in an anime style on their phone. This art teacher (which I nicknamed Assiquet, Bitchiquet, and Hagiquet) gave one of them detention for one f*****g month for turning in their style of art, and two weekends of detention for having trouble with clay sculpting. Many times I’ve been tempted to walk up to the broad and say “Art isn’t what you want it to be. We have our styles of art, and you have your inflated ego. So p**s off and get out of the school. The reason why we don’t respect you is because you made school a living hell. The school hates how you keep us past the bell for ‘cleaning’ that’s you being a spiteful b***h. So leave.”

In 5th grade, my teacher was the gym teacher for almost all grades except middle school (I went to a small school). We had a sub fill in and he forced us to play kickball, the game that ruined many friendships. He threatened to give us detention if we didn't play. He also showed us zero respect, but always told us to "show some respect." I regret not telling him "Earn it." Our class decided to not be respectful to him since he wasn't going to respect us (students should be respected too). The teacher quit because of us. I regret notgibf

She shouldn't have been working in a school to begin with. My parents would have raised hell if that had been me. Teachers and other school staff need to take students with illnesses seriously.

Whoah. A good friend's mother was dying of cancer, and the principal said he would not allow her to be with her mother, she had to be in school. Luckily, her aunt told the principal where to stick it.

One teacher told my youngest (of 3) sister, "Why can't you be creative like your sisters?" That hurt. I'm glad she got past that, but it took a while. She now does interesting crafts (great colour sense!). Plus, she works in PR, marketing, travel writing, tourism, would make a very good manager-- I can't praise her enough!

Your parents and the counselor need to figure out what reality is. That story she told them was fiction.

So how does one gain the right to feel sad? Is there a quota system (10 worst situations on the entire planet) or is it based on a checklist (must have 9 out of 10 specific events happen over the course of 25 hours) or do you argue for your right before a jury of one insensitive art teacher?

Ah, yes, I watched the whole thing. It was originally an all-girls school, and it eventually became a co-ed high school. It is now defunct. The whole thing was so sad. The head priest, the brotherhood, and their lackeys sexually abused the poor female students.

That person clearly did hear the teacher, to have done them. The student should have gone to the principal while she went to the nurse's office to make sure her head was okay.

I've told this one before...a (male) teacher stopped in the middle of class to tell me "Your legs are too fat. You need to go on a diet." This wasn't Phys Ed or some class when commenting on my weight might be even slightly appropriate - this was like Math or Social Studies. F*** him.
