One time because I actually thought about a different paper and as a nerd (who cared to properly capitalise and punctuate his Life Journal entries I had a prof at university lose my final test and paper for his class.. I had him next semester and asked why I was showing as incomplete in his class he said I didnt take the final or hand in my paper. It was apparent he had lost them based on what his office looked like (horders from a&e piles everywhere) "I'll look for it and see if I can find a copy on my computer, I was at the final these 3 peopel may remember me" (it was a class for a small major so we all knew each other) Cue me spending another week writing it and making it better. I turned it in and he said he found my final Then I got the same grade on the paper and exam entered into the system.. which I knew he didnt have my final . because I totally hosed the essay question at the end worth 30 points... like I should have gotten no . better than a 70. ^^ happened after seeing this i then stood up on my desk and told this to my professor how dare he risk my acedemics by being so careless and losing my paper. You could hear a pin drop it got so tense... he told me he was sorry and that as long as I out effort in on the current class he'd give me a 100 for his mistake. The whole class clapped. ^^didn't

I had an art teacher who lost one of my pieces and despite me reminding him four times during the quarter to correct what we both agreed was a mistake, he never did. He topped off the experience with losing probably the best drawing I've ever done. I at least got the grade on that one.  Teachers just don't give a poo poo.

In English class we had "portfolios" which collected all our papers and writings from all 4 years of High School. I think it was Junior year my teacher at the time called me into her room and let me know that she had sadly lost my portfolio and everything contained within.  I didn't really give a poo poo though and in the end it didn't matter at all because we never did anything with our 'portfolios' anyways  Public school. You get what you pay for, I guess.

My old English teacher in middle school was full of crazy. My brother and I both had her, and for reasons I don't recall, we handed in our vacation journals for her to review, maybe for an assignment. Those journals were something our parents had us write in every time we went on a family vacation, so we had fond memories to look back on and stuff. My brother's journal contained entries from vacations from the past eight loving years. And this lady lost it. The situation was similar to tater_salad's: her home and classroom were just heaps upon heaps of students' past work, books, papers. I have never seen my mom explode at a teacher so bad. This teacher was also a great source of stdh. She would pass around an old photograph of a lady that we were supposed to believe was her in her youth. The person in the picture was beautiful and fit. Our teacher was 5'4" and around 260 pounds with a face like a lamprey. She would wax poetic about B-list actors she slept with (to middle schoolers) and had more than a few stories of how she used to practice voodoo and get possessed by ghosts. One of the worst teachers I've ever had.

I don't think my mom ever got a phone call about it, but I used to get weird reactions like that from teachers because I was kind of a bookworm and knew words I "shouldn't." Nothing bad, it just wasn't what they were used to and weirded them out I guess. I've been told that when I started kindergarten, the teacher was really suspicious about the fact that I had learned to read already like it was bad thing.

Some people aren't good at that readjustment, especially if they deal with hundreds of kids daily who don't talk like adults.

"Whinge" is p typical outside North America, where we say "whine". I don't like the former either but I've gotten used to it.

I know that some teachers prefer kids to be a relatively clean slate when it comes to any kind of learning because sometimes parents teach things in a backwards kind of way, or teach incorrect pronunciations. My sister dislikes getting the "well-read" kids too because they apparently are really snotty during class about things they already know, which can be disruptive. I learnt to read two years early though so I can't complain.

I still remember freshman philosophy because one of the Honor's students said on the first day that he had already read all important philosophical works, and then the day after the first exam he dropped the class.
