luckily all my teachers are nice :D but if i had to chose one it would be my math teacher, just cause she is pushing the strictness level a bit.

4th grade teacher, yeah I knew more about the subjects than she did so she tried to humiliate me at every point. She even resorted to pitting me against my friend in "The Turtle and the Hare" or whatever it was called.

My worst teacher was probably my Yr 7 French Teacher...he was so old and strict; 'twas rumoured that he was overly friendly with pigeons because they always flocked to his classroom.

My worst atm is my Modern History Teacher. She feels threatened by me because I know everything about everything and I keep on correcting her in class. BAH! I got a B in her Elective History class last year because I had to write a feature article for some reason and I didn't put in a title...btw in class task... <_<

I'd have to say my worst was a college english teacher who assigned an essay about video games and sports violence making society more violent. She announced that students were encouraged to take the argument that they were.

I, of course took the stance that they are not, and that society is in fact less violent then it was in past. As proof I cited the example of a local beer throwing match at a basketball game, but noted that it was hardly more violent then feeding people to lions or having them fight to the death. I also established a trend that hype video games, movies and sports violence fits into a long run alarmist trend dating back to the death of Socrates (who was forced to commit suicide by the state for "corrupting" the mind of the youth) and followed it up to the modern day.

Her comment in returning this "failure" of an essay to me was "History and Philosophy have no place in an english essay"...

This same teacher passed around a sign-in sheet. So I signed the sheet (not print, sign). One day she comes up to me and the following conversation takes place:

I need you to start printing your name on the sign in sheet

What?

I need you to start printing your name on the sign in sheet

Why?

Because I don't know that it you.

But you just came up to me and said "I need you to start printing your name on the sign in sheet", you clearly know that it's me

Yeah, but I can't read that, I don't know that it's you

You obviously know it's me, else wise you'd be asking "Who's signing the sheet?", at the front of the class.

Well I need you to start printing your name so I know it's you

But that's ridiculous, you already know that it's me and the signature proves I was here. ANYONE can print my name, only I can sign my name.

Fine, I'm just going to start printing your name for you then.

Alright, that's even less work for me. Good luck with that.

My high school English class teacher, when I was a junior.  That guy tried his hardest to make us nervous at every opportunity.  He was also really crazy.  I think his time serving in Vietnam permanently scarred him.

my worst teacher was actually a combined effort in my 10th grade English class.

Our teacher was very set in her ways and showed obvious favoritism to students that weren't white. She also assigned meaningless projects. However, she got very sick during the year and we ended up with a sub for a long period of time. Unfortunately, we had the same woman the whole time.
She was a total idiot, not fit for teaching. In discussions she'd say things that were obviously wrong or simply made-up and get bothered when we would argue or point it out. She was claiming to people that one of my friends was a racist. this friend was vocal and was more than happy to point out to the sub when she was wrong, hence the accusation.
This lady also claimed there was no such thing as a Blue Whale. Said that we (the entire class) was making it up.

yea, that was a waste of an english class.

Well, and if there isn't a ceiling then there won't be any hooks either. And if there aren't any hooks, and that's the end of it, then I still find it hard to believe in: who'll drag me off on hooks, and if no one does, what will happen then, where will there be any justice? Il faudrait les inventer, those hooks, especially for me, for me alone, because if only you knew, Alyosha, what a shameless fellow I am!...

i got another one he was just a prick(for lack of a better word).10th grade history.  i got kicked out for looking at some thing on the internet after i was done typing a paper nothing inappropriate (i think it was nfl scores from the night before) i was far from the only one (most of them were playing games which is against school policy and no there is nothing about sports related stuff)  not the first time that has happened. anther time it was for talking in class to the student next to me. kicked of course not the only one talking( quietly i add)  but was the only one that was kicked out. that was a every day occurrence how i passed that class being in there just long enough to take attendance (i did know a lot of the subject before and i could explain thing that he had no idea happened)

My worst teacher was my 4th grade one, she hated everyone, when I stood up for a friend she started beating down on me, she would yell at me, take away my recess for no reason, make fun of my work, and just make me miserable.

My Intro to Criminal Justice Teacher last semester. It wasn't that she was nasty to me but she was the poorest teacher I've ever had the misfortune of sitting under. She was full blooded Korean but was born and grew up here in the states, her English was horrible which I would find forgivable if she had ever lived over seas, but she'd spoken this language her entire life. Her powerpoints and handouts were full of misspellings and typos but God forbid you make one in work that you turned in or she'd knock off half a letter grade. She couldn't hold the interest of the class, hated teaching the subject to the extent that she offered to let us teach the class for her (for 20 points extra credit on an exam) and her tests would cover content we'd have yet to go over in class and the multiple choice answers were all written so they sounded like the same answer, not because she was being crafty but because she could make the answer clear enough. I got consistent C's (low for me) and was making some of the highest grades in the class.

All my teachers this year rock (Especially my American Citizenship and English 9 Honors), but the single worst one I had was probably my Kindergarten teacher. I didn't know it at the time, but my 5th grade year my classroom was near hers and I just noticed how she was always screaming at her kids. And I remember distinctly her telling me once "Why can't you draw like him [some artistic kid], Garth?". Bitch.

But since my life in my early years was basically one long LSD trip without the LSD, I'm not sure if she was always that bad.

My French teacher in 7th and 8th grade sucked, but she wasn't so much mean as just very flaky and didn't help you at all. She was about 418 years old, so we came up with hilarious stories about how she taught God French, and how her alter ego was a lady named "Martha Washington".

EDIT: I just realized my all-time worst teacher. My middle school art teacher. Her boobs were about down to her knees, and she once took my paper for the next class because I was writing my name on it. I ended up getting a 0 for it. Another time I used incorrect complimetary colors in a piece of op art (She gave us a choice of three, I used blue and yellow instead of purple and yellow), so I got a 0 on that. Damn, she was a bitch.

My worst teacher this year is probably my Algebra teacher, not because he's mean or even bad - he's actually a really awesome guy - but the class sucks, it's hot in his room, and he screams a lot to keep us awake. Like a minister. But again, the teacher himself is really awesome. And when I say he screams to keep us awake, he SCREAMS. This is some sample dialouge.

[the people awake stay silent]

"No one? When you divide by zero, it goes BOOM!!!!!!"

Then we're awake for the rest of the class.
