How about best?

I had a real bitch in English in college. Hated me personally, hated everything I wrote, constantly pulled some bait and switch shit on me ("I didn't ask you to write about this poem, I asked you to write about this other poem!", etc.) and couldn't even be ARSED to call me by my correct name!

The teacher who assumed I didn't know the alphabet because I wasn't white, despite my having been born in the US and having previously spoken to her multiple times in perfect English

Oh yeah, I should also mention it was high school so I was a teenager, and when I asked her why she was giving me a worksheet with the alphabet on it, her reply was "to help you out in case you didn't know it" even though I'd literally just asked her why she was doing that, in English, and she got offended that I was mad

holy shit. there is something especially repulsive about a teacher being racist.

What a fucking bitch. I'm sorry you had such a shitty teacher.

Worst: Mrs Andrews when I was 11. Very angry and grumpy, yelled at me for writing the 'wrong thing' before she'd even read it and called me a smart aleck.

Best: Mr Probart later that year, when I finished my mathwork he gave me a seperate maths textbook and told me to work through it (most other teachers woulda told me to just read a book). Also encouraged me to draw if I'd finished my work.

The literal paedophile. Like convicted as in a convicted child rapist. That's a tough one to top. I could happily talk about the crazy RE teacher who was going through a rough divorce and took it out on me (I have the same name name as her cheating husband. I went from being her favourite student to her punching bag in a matter of weeks). I could talk about the drunkard lout physics teacher who just wanted to be "one of the lads", talking to 15 year olds about going out, getting pissed, and shagging on the weekend. or the chemistry teacher who used to massage the female students. Or the guy who "Retired" after he broke a students nose for talking back, but honestly, no-one is going to beat the guy who buggered a sizeable percentage of the football team.

The vice principal of my HS was caught with drugs and child porn on his school computer but he wasn't technically my teacher I guess

Were there no background checks done on these people? What the fuck.

Do you know if they're still working there or if any got arrested? Because...wtf...

My year 5 science teacher who was an irl version of Snape before that character even existed. I still don't know why he was a teacher because he clearly hated kids.

And my middle-school IT teacher who was convicted of pedophilia, years after I'd left the school but that was still a very shocking thing to find out.

I had a high school Spanish teacher who hated kids

At the time the worst was my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. G. HOWEVER, in retrospect, the grey old mare did not deserve the tornado of hyperactivity, filth, and "I'm bored with your super easy class I'm going to go climb walls"-ness that was 10-year-old me. At the time, dumping my desk out on the floor to get rid of the garbage was "the worst". ...however, sometimes there were banana peels in there, so. You know.

Hindsight.

Haha, omg the banana peels....

I never had a teacher dump my desk out but they did it to other kids. At the time we were all like "WTF that's so mean!!!" but looking back.... Goddamn we were filthy little animals.

My grade nine math teacher who insisted I was cheating because I got the right answers but didn't show my work. Bitch if I was cheating I would copy the work too so you didn't take away half my marks.

My grade 10 (11? I forget) Parenting teacher who thought my brother's pregnant 15 year old gf walked on fucking water but threw me out of class for 'talking' when all I'd done was tell her to ask me her question when we got home.

lmao at your first comment. I can only imagine the tired ass side look you'd be giving your teacher.

Ohhhh my God, I had a teacher do hat first thing to me too! We were meant to use trial and error to figure out what numbers multiplied to give something, and I just happened to get it right the first ones I tried. She was so mad at me, she thought I'd used a calculator.

Worst teachers... idk I had a lot of really bad ones. When I was a younger kid in Russia I had a teacher who was super strict. I think in hindsight she probably wasn't actually that bad, bc I don't remember her ever really doing anything horrible? but I was fucking terrified of her.

Then I had quite a few real winners in middle/high school. Honestly the teachers who did shit like sleep with students or whatever crazy shit were generally preferable to the other bad teachers, bc at least the creepy pedos were nice... But going to schools in the hood you get this weird mix of teachers who want to "save" students (in various weird ways, either super duper permissive or super duper strict or super duper religious or whatever) and teachers who don't give a fuck and couldn't keep a job in a nicer school. So I had teachers who would, like, get into fistfights with students or throw shit at us if they got mad. Teachers who never actually taught class, just turned on the TV and let us do whatever all period so long as we weren't breaking shit. You name it.

Best teachers I had..... I loved most of the teachers I had as a little kid. And I had a couple teachers in middle school that were fucking amazing.

One of my most favs was probably one of my HS English teachers. The poor dude was like a 23-year-old white dude, first year on the job and he got stuck in one of the most violent HSs in the most violent neighborhoods in America. Our class was actually really well behaved in that we weren't actively trying to start shit with him, it was after lunch so half the class never even bothered showing up so it was always just kind of me and him reading through the books and then chatting together while everyone else fucked around.

The math teacher who had mental health issues that led her to self-harm in front of the class and who consistently gave all the girls in the class bad grades.

Who the heck does the teacher licensing in your state?

I'd say the teacher who taped by ski cap over my face with duct tape was probably the worst.

The two teachers that called me ugly.

They're only the worst because they: 1) called me ugly and 2) didn't get fired. (They actually were decent teachers.)

The art teacher who used my art (and only my art) as examples of what not to do. She also gave me detention for talking when we were doing group projects and had to, you know, talk. I had a friend who was an office aide and overheard her talking shit about me to other teachers. I still don't know why she hated me so much.

In college I had a professor who didn't seem to feel like teaching. She showed films and had students give presentations but she hardly ever talked and when she did it was all anecdotes from her high school teaching days that didn't have much to do with the class. It was part of a program to become a teacher. This is part of why I'm not a teacher because I didn't want to sit through anything else like that.

But the weirdest thing I ever actually saw a teacher do in class was when my normally mild-mannered high school science teacher got mad at a kid for moving a desk to the other side of the room so the teacher picked the desk up and threw it across the room. Just kind of out of nowhere. And the kid had moved the desk because there weren't enough desks, not just to be a dick or anything.

Best teacher was the crazy awesome one who was chatting with my seventh grade teacher about maybe taking a group of students to Europe one day, then telling me and a classmate we were welcome to chaperone because we’d be in high school or college by the time they managed to get a workable plan together. Cue me having her for eighth grade and a ton of seventh and eighth graders from a not-that-great school selling tons of mini pizzas to raise money and going to England and Scotland for ten days. I’d only ever been to Mexico before, which was cool but only about 25 miles away. Worst... the AP Environmental Science teacher who bailed halfway through the semester (neevous breakdown? Caught fucking students? Idk) and left us with a series of incompetent as fuck substitutes. I got a 5 on the exam, but it was only by flunking the class because I didn’t do the totally unrelated makework and studied on my own. Lots of my fellow classmates went to the principal’s office during class and bitched at him that their GOAs were being ruined by their bullshit. I had an instructor in college who made every one of her couple thousand a semester students buy a textbook she wrote. It couldn’t be a used copy. When the faculty was striking for better pay, she told us she was already tenured and didn’t support the strikers, and that she’d flunk any students who failed to cross the picket line every day. The head of the art history department at my first university is the reason I decided against being an art historian. He was a cruel vindictive bastard who once threatened to flunk me, in front of an entire class, because my hiccups must’ve been a deliberate disruption of his lecture and not a humiliating reaction to the public dressing down he’d given me earlier, and he’d made very clear that if we missed a lecture or left early he’d flunk us.
