Ever had a bad experience with a teacher? Ready to share? An online user asked for stories about teachers that still irk them. Check out the top responses!

FAILED ME FOR HAVING A SMASHED DIORAMA

"20 years ago, a kid smashed my diorama in class. I failed the assignment."

YELLED AT ME FOR NO REASON

“Yelled at me to stop talking when I wasn’t saying anything. Then a student says it was them, and she said no, it wasn’t. What the hell? It was 6th-grade art class.”

HUMILIATED ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE

"In 5th grade, he publicly read our math test scores. I had one of the worst. Humiliated me in front of everyone. No way to build confidence."

BACKPEDALED ON WHAT SHE TAUGHT US

In 3rd grade, we explored planets and their year lengths. I wrongly flunked an assignment for designing a 200-year-old alien from Mercury, equaling 50 Earth years. The teacher dismissed my explanation.

RUINED MY SENIOR YEAR

“Gave me a C in my senior year on my final report card when I had an A all year. I had eight classes that year. 7 A’s or better. She ruined my perfect year.” 

ACCUSED ME OF MAKING UP THE LETTER “O”

“I was singing the alphabet in kindergarten and got in trouble for making up the letter ‘O’.”

GAVE ME A FAILING GRADE IN DEBATE BECAUSE OUR VIEWS DIDN’T ALIGN

"Failed me in Debate due to differing views. Forced us to watch The Passion Of The Christ in class, no opt-out. Dad got him fired.”

MADE ME TAKE OFF MY HOODIE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T THINK IT WAS COLD

"In 7th grade, my teacher forced me to remove my hoodie despite my discomfort due to being large-chested and a victim of SA at home."

SHE WAS WAY TOO HARD ON THE ENTIRE CLASS

"Teacher was tough, students complained, principal fired her. Poorly handled all around. Ended up with fill-in teachers, doing crosswords and watching movies. This was 23 years ago."

MADE US GET DETENTION FOR “DISOBEYING A TEACHER”

"Deemed 'too noisy', she led us inside post-recess, then claimed we disobeyed her by entering. We all got detention."

IGNORED ME BEING BULLIED

Ignored my bullying for my sexuality. A religious extremist who had a wedding for her dogs to teach her kids about marital intimacy.

SHE ENGAGED IN BLATANT EXTORTION

"Teacher wouldn't let us leave for goggles, threatening zero scores. Rented hers for a dollar. Joke's on her, her cancer returned and I passed due to her absence."

HE FOUGHT ME BECAUSE OF SANDWICH CRUMBS

"My sixth-grade teacher despised me. One day, he forced me to go to the cafeteria to wipe crumbs off my face, despite my severe social anxiety."

THEY WERE RACIST TO ME

“My grade 8 French teacher made me stand in front of the class and say ‘I am a chocolate bar’ in French. And yes, I’m of the chocolate-colored human variety.” 

SNATCHED MY BAG OF CHIPS

"In 8th grade, I was thrilled to find a vending machine at my new school. Bought chips for lunch, just for a teacher to confiscate it, stating it's for teachers only, and ate them. 20 years later, still annoyed."
