UNBELIEVABLE: Toxic infuriating teachers | History Defined

At this point, it's evident that she's trying all possible to make me, among most of the other students, simply fail. She keeps on insisting on and making deranged questions about things she said some day MONTHS ago, and then never again literally negating the evidence.

She even dared to say that I lack memory and that IF I have "psychological problems," I should solve them by myself, as she, quote unquote, doesn't care at all.

I'm sitting at the back of class (a place I absolutely despise), and for this reason, she automatically thinks that I'm a cheater (fun fact: I'm not - straight 90% average on most subjects).

On test day, she kept her eyes on me ONLY, and I did get a 87% with the valuation table.

A couple of days later, same exercises, and she gave me 50, which is 10 points below sufficiency.

I'm genuinely trying not to fail, but it's just hopeless. Class ends in June, and I can't drop it at this time of year.

Basically, one of our big projects is a “NAILED IT!” Style challenge, where every group recreates a cake, and whoever does it best wins.

Everyone was excited to see what we were supposed to make, and then it ended up being this. This teacher also praises AI constantly, and even encourages it to be used for “help” on assignments.

“You have 4 days to complete this assignment.” Grades it that SAME DAY, basically everyone gets a zero.

“Email me when you finish the assignment.” Yells at our class for sending her too many emails.

I’m so frustrated. Our teacher started using this AI voice thing to take attendance, and it messed up half the class. She marked people absent who were literally right there, mixed up names, said the wrong roll numbers, and did everything that she could do wrong.

After seeing this doc, we confronted her, and she just kept saying, “Oh, Wispr must’ve heard it wrong.” Yes, but she was the one using it. Like, at least check it before finalizing it?

The worst part is that this is our final semester, and she says it’s already uploaded on the portal, so she “can’t do anything now.” So all of us who were present are actually finally marked absent for no reason, and now, instead of studying for the finals, we have to deal with this mess first and have to run around trying to get it corrected.

It’s honestly so annoying. Tech is fine, but if you’re relying on it, at least double-check things instead of blaming the app and leaving us with the mess. And we're not even sure if she is still going to stop using it or not.

Ok, so this was kinda a jump scare, but a girl was eating Takis, and the teacher said: “You should stop eating those, they aren’t healthy for the future baby Jesus is going to give you.” LIKE WHAT TO A MINOR? ISN'T THAT WEIRD? Then she also admitted to teaching Bible verses to the class? Is that just weird? In high school, I’m past Christian, now an agnostic. Also, that’s my cat, Popos Xiao Pang, pretty boy, he’s a pretty fat boy. USA, NOT A RELIGIOUS HIGH SCHOOL. The class teacher also teaches geometry! If you call my cat cute, I will personally tell him that you called them cute.

He is very dismissive of my work, and his favorite student sits right next to me. He hangs up other people’s artwork but never mine.

These kids really did try to tell their teacher that "our blood being blue inside our bodies" is a BS myth. They tried to point out that it was obviously red in the Magic Schoolbus video they had just finished. She told them it was wrong because 1: it was a cartoon, and 2: it was old and out of date.

My son's bff asked her to Google it, and she snapped that he needed to be quiet before he got in trouble for talking back - poor kid is probably the smartest kid in the entire 5th grade, and his behavior is impeccable. He's so sensitive that he was so afraid of actually getting in trouble that he cried at recess.

I sent this text to a friend who works for the district at both my kids' schools to gauge if this was actually as dumb and demonstrative of poor teaching skills as it looked to me.

She called me later that evening to talk, and she's not a fan of anyone at my son's school except his main 5th-grade teacher (phew. Last year here for any of mine!), especially that health teacher, and told me she'd pass my concerns along to the appropriate people.

I doubt she cared enough to look, and even if she did, I also doubt she'd be big enough of a person to address the class and apologize to the kids still brave enough to correct authoritative adults.

I spent several hours moulding and painting this penguin. It was lightweight, rubbery, and pretty indestructible, so when my son asked to bring it to school for show and tell, I figured the worst that could happen would be it getting detached from the base, so I obliged. His teacher liked it so much she asked to "borrow" it to use as a decoration in her classroom. She told my son she'd give it back at the end of the year. This is what he brought home. Apparently, her chosen place to display it was in an east-facing window.

I worked so hard on this thing and was so freaking proud of it. How it looks now is exactly how I feel: deflated.

I WILL NOT get over this any soon, especially the horns thing. For those who don't know, it's Ralsei from Deltarune, a literal goat. I bet she thought it was a demon because of the horns, and the fact that all I needed to get everything perfect was a single point is what always bugs me the most.

Oh, and obviously the dude is Sanji from One Piece. Guess smoking is a sin, so I also couldn't draw that.

My dad died unexpectedly and traumatically over the weekend. Instead of allowing me to retake my exam, my professor is standing firm. Writing a report to the Dean as we speak.

On lunch break, a teacher is supposed to be with us in one, but it’s almost over, and I still haven’t eaten.

I’m in S.E and I’ve been waiting over 30 minutes for a teacher to come and open one of the classrooms for us (me and other kids) to eat.

I can’t eat outside because of the smell of cigarettes from other kids, and I can’t sit on the floor and eat due to my OCD (the reason why I’m in S.E).

My daughter's name is Rhiannon. I get that this will probably happen a lot since it's not a very common name. That being said, she's been going to this daycare for almost a year, and I would hope by now her teachers would have learned to spell her name.

The kid didn't write any of that. That was the teacher.

I feel like this is so cut and dry, but here we go. My son is in first grade and just switched to a new, better school in our area. Last night we did his math homework together. Today, it came back marked as incorrect.

I am so irked by this because I feel like when you look at the example at the top of the page, it’s clear that this is how you’re supposed to do it. Not to mention that the size of the blank spaces beside the red and yellow counters clearly insinuates something longer belonging there than a one or two-digit number. I know it’s a stupid hill to die on, but... Am I crazy here?

I'm so mad and I can't really do anything about it, she forcibly took it from my hands and put another phone of top of it (an iPhone 14 if I remember correctly), they got rubbed together and it left this huge scratch, yes that's a scratch doesn't wipe off, I saved up for this phone and I loved it, now she ruined it.

He has to write full sentences detailing his thought process of coming up with an invention. That sounds pretty intense for a kindergartener who’s still learning how to spell the word “this”. And then get up in front of a group of adults he doesn’t know and tell them about his thought process coming up with it? My son has really bad anxiety; he sometimes goes completely nonverbal with his own parents.

It’s not just projects tho either. He comes home with A LOT of homework as well. Every single night, he has a book, a front and back writing page, and a front and back math page, plus any unfinished classwork. If he misses any school, he has a lot of classwork too. He had a belly bug 2 weeks ago and missed 1 day of school, and the next day he had 4 2-page packets of classwork, plus the math sheet, the writing sheet, and the reading. Anytime he misses a day of school, he comes home with 4 classwork packets due the next day. Even when he misses school because the SCHOOL closed. They closed 2 days before the holiday this year because hand, foot, and mouth disease was going around really badly, and they were getting the school completely cleaned and sanitized to help with the spread. That Wednesday, when he got home, he had 8 2-page classwork packets, 3 math and writing pages, and 3 entries that needed to be done in his reading log. It took us 3 hours to complete everything because he writes and reads really slowly because he’s still learning.

She can't even figure out what half of these questions even mean.

I am finishing up high school, and due to ADHD, I am in the neurodivergent room at school. This room has plants (pictured, though not all of them), and I've been the one watering them. My teachers found that very helpful. They also know that I like blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers, since they're used as a reward for me. Today, when I got up to the room, Mr G told me he had something to show me, and after I put down my things and came to his desk, he showed me an AI generated picture of me surrounded by potted plants and blue crystals meant to be Jolly Ranchers, and holding a PS4 controller (I wear headphones all the time for sensory reasons, so I suppose that's where the AI got the controller.). He said he'd print it out and put it on the wall and give me a copy, and even though I told him I don't support AI art, he said he'll print it out anyway. Mrs N was sitting at her desk in the back, working with another student, and she didn't say anything about it. The worst part is that I can't do anything about it, since he currently holds authority over me.

So, I’m a college sophomore studying mechanical engineering. My dynamics professor went on a long rant at the start of the semester about how we are only hurting ourselves by using Chegg and stuff like that. Okay, I thought to myself, that’s fine cause I’ve never used those sources before. Should be good to go.

Fast forward to today, and I get my homework grade back. All good except for one problem that I got 0 points on. I’d normally be fine with that, but I saw that the comment accused me of using online homework solvers, so I decided to send my professor an email.

He responds with the text seen above, accusing me of the most FAR-REACHING claims of cheating I have ever seen. This got me extremely angry cause I’m not a cheater. I had a big, angry response written out, but I thought I should cool off and see what other people think before responding. (And yes, the irony of getting help online for this is not lost on me.)

My professor accused me of cheating because I used some strategies he didn’t teach in class.

These 5 business teachers at my school run DECA, the only competitive club I actually like because I'm bad at sports (skill issue, I know), but they don't even TRY to hide how much they don't want me there.

Never was rude to these people (I’m a quiet kid, so I’m usually just chilling in the background). Never missed an assignment in one of their classes. And it's not like I'm bad at DECA— I made it to nationals last year AND this year.

Just got sent an email after missing school today (it's Monday, and we came back from the states on Friday) telling me to send an apology letter to all my teachers for being sick. This has literally NEVER been a policy at my school.

I had my parents email her about it, and she DOUBLED DOWN?
I’m incredibly irritated, and I’m definitely not writing those letters because I have 10 different teachers.

I was thoroughly annoyed that this was my night's waste of time. My teacher threatened to call my parents when I poked fun at it.

Even if this is inaccurate, I graded it myself based on his syllabus, and I still ended up with a C.

We have no idea why they made this unnecessary change; there was no explanation.

If you zoom in, you can vaguely see the end of this stream of motorists.

The road is not even a one-way street; it's a two-way one. There are just too many people coming from one direction that you pretty much can't even go back in the opposite direction.

And I ain't even close to either the class or my house, I was literally 5km away from both of them.
