Let’s do a quick experiment, shall we, Pandas? Think about the best teachers you’ve ever had. See how easily their faces pop up in your imagination? You’re probably even smiling. Okay, now think of the very worst teachers you’ve ever encountered. It feels awful, doesn’t it? The sad truth is that nearly everyone has to deal with at least one toxic educator who was out to make their life miserable. Teachers and professors hold a huge amount of influence in their students’ lives. And that power can be used for good, as well as for ill.

Bored Panda compiled this list of pics of people sharing examples of the most toxic teachers they have ever met. The type of behavior featured in this article is appalling. And it really makes you value quality educators even more.

Keep in mind that if you’ve had awful experiences at school, these pics might bring back some bad memories. Otherwise, feel free to tell us about the best and worst teachers you had at school. You’ll find our previous post about bad teachers over here, too. We know from experience just how much teachers can inspire us… or cause us to doubt ourselves.

Student’s Mom Had Cancer, And When She Missed School, Teacher Told Her That School Is More Important Than Home

Student’s Mom Had Cancer, And When She Missed School, Teacher Told Her That School Is More Important Than Home

that_incel Report

Bored Panda was interested to learn about building a sense of trust and openness between parents and children, as well as what to do if there are issues with specific teachers at school. We reached out to parenting blogger Samantha Scroggin, from Walking Outside in Slippers, who shared her thoughts on this with us.

"I always try to maintain an open dialogue with my kids, but it doesn’t always work as well as I’d hoped. I think we can’t expect our kids to open up to us on our timeline and our terms. They have to share when and if they want to, and us parents showing a genuine interest in what’s going on in our kids’ lives sets the groundwork for when they’re ready to open up," the blogger said.

Patience and understanding are key for building trust, bit by bit. "Sometimes this can mean listening to them drone on about Pokemon and their friend drama at school," Samantha told Bored Panda.

"I feel like it’s just as important for parents to have an open dialogue with our kids’ teachers at school to see how they’re doing. We can’t always rely on our kids for the full picture, but it’s important to take our kids’ perspective on school situations into perspective," she suggested.

She Was Six. Why Would She Be Lying About That?

library_fae Report

Meanwhile, parenting blogger Samantha said that there's no one-size-fits-all approach when dealing with teacher-related issues. However, she revealed to Bored Panda what approach she took not too long ago.

"I actually recently had an issue with my daughter’s first-grade teacher. She is an older teacher who is not very responsive via the school’s email system. Because communicating with her was so difficult, I told the principal at the end of the school year about my struggles with the teacher. I then requested a teacher for next year who I know to be very responsive," the founder of Walking Outside in Slippers said.

"But I don’t think there is any right way to deal with school or teacher issues. I would defer to the parents to decide what is best for their child and situation," she added.

The Teacher Knew What She Was Doing

The Teacher Knew What She Was Doing

purplechrain Report

It sometimes feels like certain authority figures are out to get you. It’s not paranoia, though. Some people are so dissatisfied with their lives, so miserable and full of angst that they lash out at those around them.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an exam to thoroughly check if the person hoping to be a teacher is a completely decent human being. There are some bad apples among the droves of hard-working, empathetic educators.

When someone with a dislike for kids and education becomes a teacher, you can’t expect anything good. Some individuals have very low emotional intelligence, and they see their role in the classroom as purely technical: you put in the minimum required work, you get paid.

However, teaching is about far more than just classes, homework, and grading papers. For some, teaching is a calling. And they spare no expense in making their students’ lives better. They help guide them. They support them when they’re down. They thoroughly understand the massive responsibility they have weighing on their shoulders. And they do it anyway, even when they’re exhausted, under-appreciated, and given substandard pay. It’s these educators who we salute.

Yup, same happened to me. Only I had the extra misery of having a teacher for a dad too. Neither parents believed I needed glasses because, and I quote, "no one else in the family needed them so why should I?" Had to get two part time jobs to afford some. Didn't get my first pair of glasses and lenses until I was 16. Much of my schooling was literally a blur.

The way that we approach education in modern times is vastly different from how things were done for, well, pretty all of history. Generally speaking, students are a lot less independent these days. They’re shyer and less proactive, as well.

Childhood independence expert Lenore Skenazy, from Let Grown and the Free-Range Kids movement, went into this with Bored Panda during an earlier interview.

“In the United States, for instance, school only became compulsory a little over 100 years ago. Previously—for hundreds of thousands of years of human history—kids learned simply by watching, copying, helping, and playing,” she explained how learning used to take place.

“In other words, they’d hang around the adults, see how they made things like baskets and arrowheads, they’d ask questions, noodle around, and try to copy what their elders were doing. They’d also help out as soon as they could—fetching things, tracking animals, whatever—and in between they’d be playing with a group of mixed-age kids. All these activities were fueled by curiosity,” she told us.

“You were motivated to learn what the bigger kids in your group knew, too, because they were so cool. Your entire day consisted of observing and practicing the stuff you needed to know— skills and games. If you weren’t curious, you weren’t going to enjoy life, or succeed at it,” Lenore told Bored Panda that kids were driven by a desire to become competent and be respected within their social circles and communities.

Seriously! This reminds me of my time in retail - my dad died last year, and they allowed me to leave work the day he got taken to the hospital hospice/end-of-life care floor (long story, basically he had been disabled for 20+ years). I stayed with him and held his hand the entire night until he died at 3:15am. Texted my store manager at 6:30am to let him know my dad had died. I was literally typing a second text asking for the day off, and manager’s reply came in: “I’m sorry. See you at 1:30pm.”

I would have responded that I understood perfectly. Consistency is important. Without consistency, other students would complain. So, if he found that, in the name of consistency, he needed to grant an extension to another student because they’d also had a parent die, I would understand entirely and would lodge no complaints. CCs to the Chair and Dean, of course. They should know what a fine job he’s doing in being consistent with his students. (I’ve been an adjunct professor at university. This dude sucks.)

Omg I would have had a nuclear meltdown over that. The logic of that makes no sense. It was a freaking pandemic for crying out loud! A little flexibility is going to be necessary for EVERYONE bc it's not like we just have pandemics all the time and everybody just already knows the drill. It was a catastrophe. They make it sound like the OP is a bad employee calling their manager to say they might be late. That's beyond disgusting to expect someone to be able to complete their project on time when their parent just died unexpectedly. Where's the compassion and empathy? Those should be prerequisites for a teaching job.

Cat died. Had an essay due. Could include up to 3 pictures, to "illustrate" a point. So, I went ahead an rewrote the entire essay, changing topics from idk what to a report on the importance of family pets and proper grieving periods. I included 2 pictures of my cat, and the 3rd was of his corpse. The teacher tried to fail me, until the principle pointed out that I followed the assignment to the letter.

Most deadlines are absolute ones. So you shouldn't push assignments out till last minute. You should do them early. During covid we didn't get extension, we got a due date and then the very final date. People missed the final date, and there was nothing college or lecturer could do because examination officers don't work for college. They make sure everyone got equal treatment and no favourites. I became sick, and homeless and unemployed I deferred all semester and even I was told to do my best. And I did. Then next semester my immediate family died and I didn't get an extension because well it was story of most people on course, covid ran havoc in parents and in masters level most were elderly. If.your assignment is due end of month do them for beginning of month. College gives you 6-8weeks for assignments that realistically take 1-4days to do. A lot of students slack of and make it hard for the others, but life happens and sometimes we miss out on opportunities.

“My grandma died” does not equal “my father died of Covid”. And all the student was asking for was a few days’ extension, not to be excused from the assignment.

Teacher Making You Feel Bad For Using The Bathroom

Teacher Making You Feel Bad For Using The Bathroom

Flarebomb Report

Unfortunately, these days, children are less curious and have trouble with motivation. That’s not to say that things are all bad. However, there’s a tendency for students to be passive (because that’s how schools work; they demand compliance) and to lack a focused inner drive.

ADVERTISEMENT

“One reason kids might seem less curious today is because most of their education, inside and outside of school, doesn’t require self-motivation, it requires compliance. The drive is extrinsic, not intrinsic. Kids fill out worksheets because they have to, not because these seem interesting, or have any immediate connection to the ‘real’ world,” Lenore said.

“Learning soccer means doing the drills the coach assigns, as opposed to tagging along with the older kids and working hard to get good enough so that they’d start letting you play.

According to the expert, giving our kids some unstructured ‘outdoor’ time can help foster their self-motivation and self-reliance.

“Put some junk out there—old suitcases, blankets, buckets—whatever you’ve got. Of course, at first, the kids might be bored. Scratch that: They will be bored. They’ll want to come back in and grab the iPad. Resist the temptation to let them in or entertain them,” she said.

“Give them a stretch of time—and especially if you can send some other kids out there with them—and out of ‘There’s nothing to do’ something will catch their interest. And a curious kid is born,” Lenore said.

“To give dulled-out kids the equivalent of a trip to a new country, send them to do something they haven’t done on their own before. Have them run an errand, visit a neighbor, get something from the woods or the store—something that puts them in a new environment where they have to figure out some stuff on their own.”

So, the little girl was really dumb but a great domestic worker? What a tribute to that poor child.

Shocking. I have to write formal emails to teachers and in return, I get an email with misspelt words and barely any formality

My Little Cousin Tried To Tell His Teacher Why Loki Wasn’t A Villain

Cousin: "I think he is not a villain because he was threatened every time he had to do something bad. If you were in that situation, would you take your life for that?"
 
Teacher: "This is off topic. Just write about Loki and how he's a villain. Use an exact example of..."

After all the stories I've heard off people just claiming a relative died to get out of work this doesn't really surprise me.

This looks more like a technology error than a teacher error. Could be both.

I already posted this on the list, but I was the 51st person so it might not show up. We had teachers say that bathrooms were not necessary, and we had a girl just get up and p**s in the trash can. I mean full blown Got up in front of the teacher, pissed. And when she got a suspension she waved out at us as she was driving away her car smiling. She literally was the start of our quote unquote 'revolution' about the bathrooms. eventually the teachers revoked it, when I threatened to take it to the next parent teacher meeting, and threaten to take it in front of the school board. I had a five-page article written up about the importance of using the restroom. Then they revoked it

You never know what's going on with a student. When I taught, a kid was kind of blowing off an assignment. I called parents since it was most of a semester grade, and gave him an incomplete so he had more time to finish. We all worked together to keep him on track. Come to find out later mom had liver cancer, and ended up dying about a year later. I really liked the kid and we were working together on this. Parents were grateful. I only found out AFTER about illness. Showed me that there are often circumstances we don't know about.

This definitely isn’t the worse one, and may even be justified - I got the only 10 in the whole school for music one year - even though this class was known to be the easiest 10 ever - because the teacher wanted to acknowledge that I put so much extra effort in - I was the only one insane enough to spend literally every lunchtime doing extracurricular music. Including a string quartet with 3 teachers (yes, it made me super popular, not that I ever was in the first place…). And to be fair, he was probably sick of everyone treating his class like a joke (although it kind of was…) and using the hour to do homework for other classes. He went back to giving practically everyone 10s the year after, but it was nice to be acknowledged like that just once.
