Who is your contender for worst teacher of the decade?

The biochemistry department at my college has notoriously bad professors.

I had one who in the past years made a mistake grading an exam, giving some people points for wrong

answers and marking down correct answers. But they refused to regrade them. She was the

stereotypical bitter, my class is hard and

some of you will fail, professor, who still thinks that suffering is a right of passage in the sciences.

She wouldn't upload slides, even when students were snowed in at home and the lecture recording

malfunctioned. A lot of university professors don't care about their students, but this one truly

made me feel like she wanted us to fail. By the second week of class, I cried in lecture and went

straight to my advisor afterwards to switch from a Bachelor of Science to a Bachelor of Arts just to get

out of her class. Third grade teacher. She had her teacher's pet that could do no wrong. One day her pet got a low

score on her test and began crying. To make her feel better, she points to the worst student in the

class that probably had an undiagnosed learning disability and says in front of the whole class,

don't worry, you could be like her and have an F carved into your report card.

In fifth grade, she yelled at me for using a mechanical pencil instead of wood on a page she would

never read. Oh, Mrs. Davis in first grade, one time I had a messy desk. You remember those ones

with the top that flipped up so you could store your

books and stuff inside, she picked up the desk and literally dumped all of my books and school

supplies onto me and made me clean it up off the floor while the rest of the class watched.

Of course, I started crying. What kind of sadist does that to a frickin' six-year-old?

Well, funnily enough, my school history teacher was weird.

She'd always give us strange assignments and tell weird stories about her personal life.
