30 Students And Parents Call Out Their Teachers Who Were So Wrong, They Shouldn’t Be Teaching Anyone

Good that she apologized and fact-checked but the detention was over the top

I don't want to call the BP writer an AH, but it's pretty AH behavior to say that a teacher who came back admitted they were wrong and apologized, shouldn't be allowed to teach anymore.

I had a teacher drop LSD on a weeknight, crash his car into a parked bus, then walk directly to the school from the accident. He literally walked all night since he was a 40 minute drive from the school, came in, taught his classes and left. He didn't get fired for this, it was when he took the boys hockey team (15-16 year olds) out to his friends bar for drinks to celebrate winning the championship that he got fired.

i just remember that not long ago my younger sister teacher told her whole class that she(teacher) was perfect and that no one else was perfect but then her and then my sister told her the she was not perfect that only God was perfect the teacher go angry and send an email to my parents and a couple of days later they change my sister to a new class because she was "a low grade reader" or smth like that, that was the best thing she have ever told me and a thing i will never forget

In 3rd grade, my class teacher collected all our notebooks to ensure they were up to date. She returned everyone’s back couple days later but not mine. When asked, she claimed that i had never submitted and demanded that i tell her why I didn’t. I very politely said that she had collected it from me. I end up doing 100 situps, multiple slaps, and had to lie/admit that i had lost the notebook. Next morning my notebook dropped on her face from her very cupboard. She walks up to me..puts it on my desk…smirks and leaves. I take comfort in not receiving another beating for lying about note being lost 🤨

My mother used to nag my older brother about his grades, saying "If you don't buck up, you'll end up digging ditches for a living!" So now he has his own excavation company and he...digs ditches for a living. Makes good money at it, too.

As a teacher myself, never disparage anyone's job. I try to tell students that you want a job where you are happy and fulfilled, no matter what it is.

DSNY in NYC starts at 50k a year, but after 10 years they earn 85k base on average, figuring holiday hours, overtime, and double overtime pay for snow, in a good year they can earn 100k. I know sanitation workers in NYC, and they pray for bad snows. A really bad year, they can earn 30k alone in Double Overtime pay for snow. They have a great union, that knows how to do PR with the public (like the last time they went on strike they waited several months for the weather to get cold in the winter so the trash wouldnt smell, and said if it snowed, they would return to work for the snow. The Public loved that,( unlike the Transit Union who last made a strike 3 weeks before x-mas, hurting small businesses, and leading to massive backlash and worse contract than the last offer before the strike.)

I never memorized the times tables, I just did the multiplication when I needed to. I now have a Master’s Degree. Should I redo third grade, and memorize them this time around?

Funny how some people have grandiosity issues. There is nothing wrong with being a "garbage man/woman". It is an honest job. Thanks to "the garbage people", my surroundings are clean😊.

Man we seriously need to stop being scared to teach people about their bodies. I was so embarrassed when I was young and thought there was something wrong with me and it wasn't for a really long time did I find that this was not only normal but a sign of a healthy vagina. I wholeheartedly believe that if people understood how bodies worked better, we wouldn't have people accidentally getting pregnant, saying ridiculous things like 'you can't get pregnant if it's legitimate rape' and they wouldn't get as many diseases. It would also help people to see what a safe abortion is, and why reproductive care is a lot more than just about abortion. And, sorry guys, but I think it would help if men understood women's bodies a little more if for no other reason than avoiding what I grew up with, which was a father who made me hide my tampons, and a brother who thought using tampons made you lose your virginity. Some women don't even know they pee out of a different hole than they bleed.

How about sex ed instructors that know what the f**k they're talking about

I didn't have sex ed class at all here

They never tell us this in sex ed.

Uh, wut? 🤣🤦‍♀️

to tell the truth she wanted to teach you how to rely on yourself and not on an external tool that could always be broken/unavaliable

Not a liar, just not the most invested in futurism

Giving well-meant advice about future self-sufficiency doesn't make you a f*****g liar. Statement like the OP"s do.

As a student, get familiar with the calculator because you can't take a fancy internet-enabled phone into your exams. And why would you run down the battery of your lifeline to the world when a $20 calculator does the same job.

I applied for a job as a bank teller, and for the testing part of the process, they told us to use a calculator....something about avoiding human error....

My 2nd grade teacher asked all the students what their middle name was. I don't have one, and told her so. She didn't believe me. She insisted that I *must* have one and that I needed to ask my parents what it was. And I'm thinking, "Who the **** do you think told me I don't have one in the first place, lady?"

My name is Kay, I've had problems with teachers asking me what it stands for like they are reading it as an initial. When I replied by saying my name again and even spelling it out, they never believed me. I lost count of the amount of times I was put into detention for lying

SEA?

The first time in highschool in the usa (Exchange Student) they called me on the PA, I don't react. Didn't sound like my name. But if you read it in English pronunciation it sounds so different. Other fellow students pointed out that they meant in fact me. I asked the principle to pronounce it correct. In the end my name was quite often on the pa. Always mis pronounced. I. The 90 students and teacher used to have humor.

That’s as bad as having a Slavic last name (no vowels). I learned to wait for the teacher to get close to my name alphabetically, then pause and say “Uhhh” while calling the roll. Then I’d shoot my hand up say my name for them, and say “Here!”
