The_Franz posted:This seems like one of those times where parents should have descended on the school office and demanded to know why this moron is teaching the class. For real, I remember in 7th grade my homeroom teacher was this absolutely useless tool who taught English. If you were in his class all he would do is hand out "worksheets" then go screw around on his computer and not talk to the class AT ALL. Then he'd mark the worksheets and because he never bothered to teach anything we'd all get D's (at best) because we literally did not know the subject matter on them. It got to the point where parents had to go complain to administration after looking at report cards and wondering why their normally straight A student is bombing this one class. After they told their parents formal complaints were delivered though the funny thing is before any kind of disciplinary process could be starte he got fired because he was looking at porn on his computer. He got his job back after I graduated and started high school. I don't know exactly what happened but after being in a unionized job for a few years now and recalling what he was like...he went through the teacher's union to get his job back and because administration didn't go through the process to terminate him he got re-hired. Just a guess. I don't know how he did after returning nor do I really even care because gently caress junior high (even at the time going into high school I wasn't looking back).

(This was mid-century small town Northern England. They weren't testing for poo poo other than sit down and shut the gently caress up.) Bullying is another one. It's hard to focus when there is something like that on your mind. Even worse when your teacher openly calls you out on "being lazy and not paying attention" and your loving bully is in the class with you and gets to enjoy it (and be enabled deep down). Yeah, gently caress junior high.

I, like many of you, hold dumb grudges about the time I was right in high school. The one that really sticks out to me is how no never ever replied to "when will I need this in the real world?" with "you may not, but the act of learning it will help you" That's literally all they had to say. Instead they did this weird thing where they felt telling the truth was somehow giving the game away?? Cursive and long division are cool skills to learn how to learn weird hard things, and the teachers could have just said as much. I mean, they could even just say look I don't know what skills you'll need later on because things change too much, but what I can teach you is how to handle the weird difficult things you may come across as an adult. Ugh ugh ugh. Actually I change my answer, it's the time they brought in a dude to explain in laborious detail that the Devinci Code isn't real Because the teachers were all brainwormed penty fundementalists who couldn't think for themselves and were constantly gaslighting themselves into thinking badshit things and were afraid we would too.

My high school band director said he was NOT having sex with any of his students. Flash forward to the day they got married, when she was 18 years and 3 months old. The only people at the wedding were his daughters from a previous marriage, who are almost a decade older than their stepmom. On a far less sinister note, one of my college professors was teaching us how to use this simulation software and kept stressing that we needed to save our completed simulations in a certain way, not the default filetype selected by the program. We just trusted her and rolled with it, turns out saving the simulations that way made them impossible to re-open. She had to give us all perfect scores on that assignment (which was originally going to be 10% of our total grade) because of how much work we all lost.

pretty soft girl posted:Did you also go to high school in southwest massachusetts or is this just a particularly universal form of band director scumminess I've given it some thought in the past having seen it in drama class in HS. I think that teachers that are in the arts are more likely have a relationship with their students because they are able to be a bit more open and seemingly trustworthy. Also, in that situation an authority figure can more effectively groom a teenager by spending more one on one time with them without arousing suspicion.

I remember having one professor for one of the smaller classes I took, which when one week she wanted us to read a small section of a book she wrote, she just photocopied all the pages for us. She also in the first lecture mentioned that their might be some less then legal sites on the internet that might have uni textbooks on them and if we knew how to find them, then that or the library was probably a smart move to get the readings for the class. As to paraphrases, "why spend stupid amounts of money to buy a book that your on going to read a bit of once. She was definitely a teacher on the opposite end of most of thee one's mentioned here, and most cool and good. Only teachers I've had I can think of that actually do fit the topic were a few of the math ones, giving the old "In the real world your not going to have a calculator with you everywhere" lie. Even not including phones, pretty much anytime I've had to do maths at work I've already had excel open. Like having a good basic understand of math still helps with that, particular obviously when your writing formulas, and double checking you didn't gently caress something up, but like just tell us that!

Anyone else have to take classes they didn't even need? I started band in 4th grade (and played until my 12th grade year) but in 8th grade they made me take a semester of Music class. I tried to explain to them and I could read, write, notate, compose, theorize, even perform lite instrument repair, so why did I need a basic music course? I was basically told its was a legal requirement and to just be quiet and get an A. So I show up day 1 and the teacher, who knew I was in band, questioned why I was there and was told the same. She kinda was annoyed with me for the entire time of the class. I got an A though. I also let that cute girl in the Motley Crue t-shirt copy off me because I thought I could get her number. In 12th grade I had to take Typing and Word Processing to fulfill an elective. Now this was 1991 so not everyone knew how to type but I had been working a part time data entry job for two years and even passed the typing test. But again, "We are legally responsible for you so.....". I was also taking a Pascal class at the time so I ask the typing teacher that if I never said a word, completed all the work and handed it in as she assigned it could I work on my Pascal assignments? She was cool with it and that's what I did. I was an AV nerd and it did have advantages. Me and a buddy would carry microphones or cables in our backpack at all times. When we decided to cut class and even leave the property we'd just do it. If we got stopped we pull out the equipment and say that "Mr So-and-So needs this in Hall 7" or "We have to go to Radio Shack to have the mono channel re-wired for dual output" and who ever stopped us would just say, "....ok then. See you."

I forgot exactly what requirement it fulfilled - it might not have been any requirement but just a space filler because I had enough credits to not have to take math that year but they didn't want me just milling around campus doing nothing for one period - but in 12th grade I had to become a teacher's aide. My first choice was a biology class but less than a week into that my AP Studio Art teacher suggested I become her aide instead, and that I use that time slot to instead continue working on my own art projects (though she did occasionally have me do actual assistant work like grade written assignments or retrieve supplies). It was a very good plan in the end because I was such a slow worker. It's dampened by the fact that she was also a bad teacher who actively encouraged us to trace photographs from magazines and internet searches. She insisted it wasn't tracing because we never literally placed a paper on top of the photos and copied lines that way. She did however teach us to copy lines by mapping the original down to a grid and then replicating it square by square on our own canvases/paper. She called it eyeballing and referencing. I felt weird about following her directions because everything I learned from DeviantArt slapfights was that this was still art theft, and I ended up never opening my AP Studio Art exam results letter because I was too overwhelmed with anxiety to see what I scored on Originality. Oh also one time she scolded me for swearing. The horrible word I had said was "crap" MiracleFlare fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jun 29, 2022 |

See you." It was 1996. I was on the yearbook crew as a photographer. We shot on film and had to develop our rolls in the lab and then make prints in the darkroom. So it was an automatic excuse to get out of just about any class at any time unless there was a loving test. "I have to develop the photos from the basketball game." "I have to get random pics of the seniors for their quotes page." "Mr. Brady has a biology exhibition." It was endless. We would even go snag other crew members from their classes for some "project" and go smoke. Didn't really cut class to leave campus, but I definitely was not in loving class. As for lies, my Economics teacher senior year told us that he had formerly been in the Michigan Militia. Now, this was an American International school in South America so those of us from the States were very dubious. My parent worked for the US Government, which is why we were even there in the first place. Most of my friends in that class were there under the same circumstances. He was missing part of an index finger and I remember one day this dude raised his hand in class and asked, "Did you lose your finger in the Michigan Militia?" at which point our teacher began to backpedal a little bit on his level of involvement... I also heard from one teacher that another teacher thought I was hot, so I asked her out. She said no, so that was a lie. Probably.

elementary teachers forced us to switch to cursive in 3rd grade and constantly told us that any work we submitted in middle school or high school that was in printed handwriting and not cursive would get an automatic F. First day of middle school assignments and every teacher tells me to stop using cursive and just print normally. I had forgotten how to print and I had to re-learn it. My handwriting never recovered and is still total rear end now

This was something I underwent in school. They really pushed cursive in the 80's and by the time I got to middle school, none of the teachers cared for cursive. In fact, my writing was so bad that me and few other students got these to do our work on. They were pretty cool for the time.
