Shout out to the “I had this one hosed up teacher” derail in the PYF hosed up article thread.

Share stories of teachers drunk on the job, throwing things at students, saying wild things, whatever fits. Ideally keep in mind that teaching is a difficult position and oftentimes paid pennies to play babysitter. Also keep in mind that some people are very much not meant to be teachers.

Anyway, I once had a HS English teacher that lasted for about a month since the boys would make really weird comments about her rear end! She chained herself to her car on a highway apparently afterwards. She was a young teacher and I always felt so bad for her (namely because I went to school with some horrendous boys who turned into mediocre men, oh Long Island). The classes she taught were replaced with a teacher who stayed home when it rained due to the “water fairies”. I never pressed further.

We had an IT teacher in high school who taught us the first year of a 2-year coursework project and told us before we broke up for summer that we were all on track for top grades and he was very proud of us etc. We came back in September to do the second year of the coursework, only to find that he'd retired and had been teaching some of the wrong coursework, using the wrong marking criteria for the rest and we were actually all failing. The school sent everyone a letter saying that we were welcome to drop the class if we wanted to. Our class went lost about a dozen students but the other class went down to two students. Our school was like a technology specialist school though so they had to change to a science school instead because of it. I stayed on to do IT A-level at the same school and it happened again.

We also had a biology teacher who didn't believe in narwhals and thought we were messing with him when we tried to convince him that they were real. I'm told there was also an IT teacher who didn't believe in Mac OS so maybe my high school just had a really bad IT department.

:magical: What in the world nightmare school did you go to? That’s gross incompetence
