I studied really hard for a German test only to see a 16/83 as my score. Devastated, I ran out crying and went to the nearest public restroom. For context, at this time, my anxiety was pretty bad, and I've had chronic nosebleeds my whole life. So crying turned into a nosebleed, which turned into a panic attack, which exacerbated the nosebleed. After 15 minutes, it was still bleeding pretty heavily, and in a panic I called 911. It managed to stop bleeding before the EMTs got there, so I didn't have to go to the hospital. By this point I was physically and emotionally drained and decided I was gonna spend the night at my parents' who lived 30 minutes away. Two days later I went back to that class and my professor was really worried about me. He said that he was surprised to see me upset, since I got such a good grade. Turned out his 16 was actually a 76, he just didn't write it clear enough, and I went through all that trouble for nothing. I still stuck to my German courses though. I liked the professor and I've always loved the language. I'm so glad I did, language learning is so fascinating to me, and I eventually started learning Spanish too.
I feel that. Once in middle school I got a 12/25 on a really important Science exam, spent a week panicking and inconsolable, turned out I got a 22. For context, that exam score would have dropped my grade an entire tier
Went to a community college where the professors wrote the textbooks. Each year you had to buy the 'NEW' book-couldn't have Used books. Until one classmate discovered it was the same textbook each year, with all the chapters renumbered. Lawsuits ensured and the professor was eventually fired.
I rage quit "Family studies" BA at the end of year two of three. This was at Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Two things to note: higher education in Poland is mostly free, and the only reason I went to that university was because they had an opening by the August of 2006. My father died in July, and I couldn't stand spending any time with my mother, who nagged him to death, and then told everyone that doctors murdered him. I'm also visually impaired to the point I can't recognize faces. At all. I had an exam by the end of year two, but couldn't find the room, as the professor switched them it but didn't leave any information on the door. Instead he told the student representative of your year, and she was supposed to tell everyone else. She did, but I wasn't there. So when I arrived, I spent half an hour looking for my year group, passing them at least thrice, and no one bothered to talk to me at all. Finally I left the building, and then representative called to me asking, where I am, and added. where the exam is. I told her that I left, that I don't give a flying f**k anymore, and that I hate them all for the way they treated me. That is almost no one even attempted to talk to me, acting as if glaucoma, the reason of my bad eyesight, is a contagious disease.
I tried to take an art class while in college because I really liked drawing as a hobby and wanted to get better at it. The first few weeks we used pencil but when we switched the charcoal, I had a sort of allergic reaction where I broke out in hives on my hands, arms, and face after using it. At that point it was too late to drop the class so I talked to the professor who more or less told me she WOULDN'T make an exception for me despite having a legitimate medical reason why I couldn't use charcoal. She said that I should try using gloves and a face mask when drawing. I tried using both nitrile and vinyl gloves (I'm allergic to latex) but both would essentially erase a good deal of what I was trying to draw. When I tried talking to her again she just shrugged and said "well, looks like you're just going to have to fail the class then I don't give withdraws" I was able to plead my case to the head of the art department and the dean of the college and the failing grade was eventually changed to a "pass" that didn't affect my GPA because the reason why I couldn't complete the class was a medical one.
Oh my goodness during the Fall 2023 semester I volunteered to teach a section of the mandatory first year experience course. The day before my first class I was told that all students were professional flight majors, which many other advisors warned me about. I always found my colleagues a bit over the top so I went into class excited and hopeful…but then some genius decided it was a good idea to try that the upload a screenshot of an error message with the hopes that you would have the assignment complete by the time the instructor reached out. I am 37 years old and was a part of the first generation of college students submitted assignments online so this jerk tried to trick me not realizing that my generation came up with that trick before he was born. So glad I left higher education.
For story 26. OH HELL NO. Those investigators, the Dean and everyone who contributed to the verdict that you were being sexist needs to not only be fired but never EVER hired. When they fail to account for all important data and give you an invalid report, they can not only be fired for that but also jailed. In a life changing situation like these every detail must be reported OR ELSE the reporter can be fired and charged with fraud as the job of an investigator is to give ALL relevant info. Not just what they are asked for. That Dean is an idiot. They could have came down and watched the presentation themselves it does not matter what other things they might need to do. The Dean is in charge of EVERYTHING in their field. Giving false reports could literally have changed your life for the worse, meaning that they could have screwed you over.
I had a professor when I about 20. The class I was taking was so stupid. It was like middle to high school level grammar. (It was a for-profit college. I was young and dumb). Anyway, I was having severe mental health issues and need emergency hospitalization for suicidal ideation. I asked the professor if I could make up my work. He was a complete ass hat and said he would flunk me. I told the administrator and she let me drop.
My dumb self but the same text book for class twice. It was annoying because we needed to buy it twice for class even through it was the same book 85 dollars down the drain
Story 59: I’ll do you one even better. Pretty much no one in my major bought textbooks that were required. That’s because I found the textbooks online and distributed them to everyone. We actually got our printer taken away that we could use for free to print out assignments because people were printing the textbooks I sent. Ended up having to use the school printers for my senior year
Puerto Rico had a PotUS stop by for a lil' visit. The People of Puerto Rico had believed HE the visit was in regard to a natural disaster... As he made his way toward the airport for his return to DC he took time to speak with Reporters and so his words were broadcast to the Citizens of Puerto Rico as well as US citizens. And right on international television he wrapped it all up "The President of Puerto Rico is corrupt." I couldn't believe how many others asked why I LoL about how he wrapped it all up. 😂
If you live in the us and are stressed about school or are stressed just remember college is not mandatory for anyone my mom is a mechanic for a multi million dollar company and her job requires 2 degrees and 5 years experience and she didn’t even pass HS let alone a degree and she had 1 year experience not 5
What is the game in the background? I've seen it around before, and it looks interesting, but I don't know what it's called. Kinda looks like a Minecraft version of flying around with the Wing Cap from Mario 64.
I can understand having bad professors, but I guess my main gripe is with the prompt itself. I didn't hear really from a lot of professors, mainly students. It would have been interesting to see how some of the students made professors quit.
Accounting class. The online portion was absolutely barebones, and the book seemed to be written in anothet language (it wasnt, it just didn't define literally anything for this base-level class) and when I went to the professor for help, he sneered at me that I clearly didn't have what it takes to teach myself accounting. Yeah, f*ckass, that's why I'm paying you an exorbitant fee- to TEACH ME ACCOUNTING DAMMIT. Luckily I was able to swap it for a different class, with a prof who actually gave a singular fuck (and was honestly a really good teacher, I will remember that class fondly).

I initially thought I had no story but the embedded system one reminded me of my time reading a similar course in my country. No ragequit but A LOT of rage. This was also during the pandemic so distance lectures. Our teacher was so horrible/seemed incompetent - start of course he says no deadlines… just 2 weeks or so later he starts complaining no one has turned anything in and complains to our program head about it. His reports was a JOKE. Some words and pictures and he was content. Sadly this isn’t the snapping point. Fast forward to our course exams. He “proctored” it himself (he was there for like the first minute or 2 of each part, 2 part exam) but there were some slight issues with our LMS that day (canvas) for some people, however he had NONE of it. It ended up in so many complaints there was a meeting like 30-ish minu after the exam, and if it was at campus instead of distance - pretty sure there would’ve been a fight - also his lectures were shit, like 45 minutes where he basically just talked about next assignment. There was one final part of rage, or well… frustration from me at the reexam a couple months after the initial exam. When we asked how he’d determine if we cheated or not, he literally said “I’m not a cop” with some other words. Passed it but in my… 4 almost 5 years of courses at the uni program it’s at least bottom 2 courses I’ve read, if not the worst one.
I would just take it as a challenge. Oh, 50 hours a week? Make it 60. (Or don't. I'm not putting in that many hours a week, that's stupid. No. What is going to happen, I'm talking to them, and if that doesn't work, their boss or bosses until they finally agree to do so or get fired.)
Let me gueas, that 'religious utah school' is byu? i'm a u of u alumni so....but the op's story of teachers saying autism is a result of sin shines a new light on my nephew's school problems. He has been repeatedly abused by his school teachers...i.e. being locked alone and in the dark in a closet. He's not even that profoundly autistic. And sure he can be a bit much sometimes, but he's still a human being. If anyone would bother to just sit down and talk like a fellow human being with my nephew when he's misbehaving, you can get him in line fairly easily. I should know, he's home schooled now and i'm his language arts teacher. Kid is brilliant but needs a little extra attention for everything. Usa schools are fucking garbage. I'm suprised i even graduated as i am autistic too and adhd and hated school growing up.
I have several, dropped off of chemistry twice, same class taken twice, I know what I lacked. Ambition went down the drain after that one, but that’s because I also knew I couldn’t, partly because of what I lacked visually. I am functionally blind due to a rear Jeanette condition and dictate everything, so sorry for the lack of articulation. Heart of darkness happens to you one of my three least favorite books of all time, dries a bone, and I hate it, you poor, unfortunate soul, deal trigger warnings from it, there is nothing to be triggered by unless you have issues with colonialism and racism. Let’s see, a psych teacher, getting either a high or low in her class and she said I wouldn’t get more than see, and then taking a creative writing class stomped out whatever value I had in creative writing, it lost its intrinsic value. Only reason I didn’t quit? Because quitting and giving up is not my DNA, change course about twice from zoology, history, to anthropology

Back in high school, we had a science teacher with really one of the most meek and unassuming presences you could imagine and, he would always be walking around the class in his lab coat, just as you would picture the typical science teacher to do. Well, being the little shits we were, we used to just have the best time slipping random things into his pockets as he would pass by, just things like broken up bits of pencils or whatever other little bits of junk we could find. It was hilarious seeing him eventually put his hand into the pocket and the look of utter confusion on his face when he felt all the junk that had unknowingly appeared in there. He would tip it all into the bin, and at the first opportunity we would retrieve it and start putting it back in the pockets again, only to see him eventually find it there again, with greater confusion. It was too funny to do and watch. This went on for quite some time, until one day he happened to turn his head enough at the exact moment to see my mate behind him, who had his arm fully extended and about to deposit some more junk into his pocket. Well, this usually reserved man, with his balding crown of hair, suddenly went absolutely mental in an instant, his bald spot was almost glowing with how instantaneously red it went. My mate who he caught, had also glued the picture of a topless model's body, with a picture of the head of Saddam Hussein attached, to one of his workbooks. Whilst going absolutely crazy and screaming all sorts, the teacher grabbed this book in his rage, tore it up, and literally threw it at my mate's face. I just couldn't help it, but I was laughing so hard at it all, and when his head shot round to glare at me, I can still see the face of pure rage, and hear the resounding "GET OUT OF MY CLASS YOU SNIGGERING LITTLE RAT!" that followed. I was gone though, I just couldn't stop laughing, even now it still gets me a little. As much as we wound him up though, I really hope he came to see the funny side of it after the fact. We did get him good with it.
I love your channel and these long posts are great. I know you all do this to earn money. I can’t afford to pay for ad-free UA-cam and have no other audiovisual entertainment but this and Tubi.

Like actually, keep your damn opinions to yourself. Just read the damn stories. There are WAY more shit horrible teachers then good ones. Honestly, stop talking in genreal fr
The professor for my sanitation class (culinary arts major) wouldnt teach a damn thing ever. Every day we had class she would come in and talk about the 16 and pregnant tv show with the girls on class. Every teat she gave everyone either barely passed or completely failed. Me a few other people eventually complain to the department head and dean and she retired the next semester for health reasons
The story about the graphic design teacher Anthony reminded me of my own school horror story. A couple years ago, I took a graphic design and photography class in a vocational training school. The teacher was a bitch and a half, and HATED neurodivergent students. She also neglected the regular class and instead spent most of her time working on the SkillsUSA portion. I'm the two years I was in her class, I witnessed her make four different students cry, and drive two of them out of her class. She took a particular interest in me, because I'm stubborn and hardheaded. I didn't ask for help unless I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't like group work, and being a little slower than a lot of other students, i needed a bit extra time to complete assignments. She didn't like that, and would try to shove me into things I had already made clear I cannot do. And if I didn't comply, she would run to the disability councilor to tattle on me. It got so bad that even the disability councilor asked her why the hell she doesn't listen to the accomodations I asked for. She once even cornered me as soon as I walked in the door asking why I was constantly late when I ride a public bus, and threatened to go to the disability councilor. I looked her in the face and asked her why she had to go to the councilor when I'm the one she has the problem with, and I'm standing right in front of her. If she wants to resolve the issue, why won't she just talk to me? She stared back for a second before turning and walking off saying "I don't want to talk about this". I and many other students tried to report her, all of our concerns were ignored. Funny part was that she was fired from a local college for the exact same things. Long story somewhat shortened, she made both years hell for me and all other students who were neurodivergent. I managed to pass and complete the course, but after I left, i found this out through a couple friends a year below me, she STILL continued talking down about me and using me, a student with an IEP that was constantly being ignored, as an example of 'what not to do in class'.
Any professor thst sells their own book for their own class are there strictly for their own gain and dont deserve to be treated as a living bresthing creature with emotions or feelings.
my prof made an abridged version of a longer textbook and charges only 30$. Then we have to buy a completely different 120$ textbook because its a business skills & excel class rolled into 3 credits. Thoughts?
I had a non professor teacher that made us buy the book, it was a community College. And the teacher charged out the ass for ghat damned book. There wasn't even an unbound option. I also had a similar standing teacher rhat had us rent the book they bought from them for about $15 and we got a $10 refund if we returned it in perfect condition. I decided to keep that book, and give it to someone in the next semester for free and the teacher also encouraged that. There's a verity of ways it can go. But I do think a lot of teachers are just there for themselves, even ones rhat don't make you buy their crappy overpriced books.
Good lord, the number of whiny snowflakes in these stories. "The prof gave me a bad grade because they didn't like my disagreeing with their ideals..." Nope. They gave you bad grades because you were intellectually lazy and checked out of the class because you didn't have any respect for someone who had different beliefs from you. (Source- I witnessed this occurring in person during my own college days. The loudest whiners who complained about the profs were invariably the ones who couldn't be bothered to put in the work.)
I'm a foreign ESL lecturer at a Chinese university. Originally from the USA. I basically took a summer gig, teaching English conversation skills, the summer after graduating college and just never left. That was almost 10 years ago. While I do, do my job and teach the skills and information I'm supposed to, I let my classes grade themselves. If a supermajority of the class agrees with the grades everyone gets, those are the grades I submit. The only exception being I don't let anyone get screwed. I do keep track of everyones performance in the class and I'm very clear that the vote is not a popularity contest. It usually takes a couple of hours, but in the end we always come up with results that satisfy a supermajority of the class. Twice in my career, so far, I've had students rage quit their education because they couldn't convince their classmates they deserved a passing grade. They even tried appealing their grade to the Dean of Academic Affairs, but like I said I do keep track of their perfomance and I can easily justify all grades I give. My syllabus and grading policies comply fully with the university's grading policy, so their arguments had no legs to stand on.
11:59 That is ridiculous. There is no point in making the student do that. They don't learn anything, and they don't get to do what EVERY programmer does. Test the code and use documentation. I'm just flabbergasted
In one of the unis i studied in we had an exam like that. 5 tasks, so 5 bits of code. The code was supposed to be in C++ but i accidentally initiated the variables for the first task in Pascal. The professor refused to even read further after that and failed me automatically. Most likely because i was good with practice and bad with theory so i basically did almost nothing on (his) theory classes and had almost straight As on practice classes (that were taught by another professor who wasn't on the exam)
Story 7: I've studied in cartoon animation, and had to take a "drawing from model" class. The teacher made us buy a bunch of supplies, and made us carry them all for each class, even if we were to use only one or two of them for the lesson of the day. By the end of the semester, some were never used, and some were used only once. And these supplies weren't cheap either. Still have some in my drawing supply stash just because I don't want them to go to waste...
Junior year of college, studying abroad in Spain. Taking classes in Spanish (I’d been taking classes at home taught 100% in Spanish for years at that point), basically no comprehension issues. I’d also taken several semesters of linguistics classes at that point. I mention all of this to say that my Spanish is fine and I do have a background in linguistics, so neither of those things can be blamed for how this class went. Day 1. The class is billed as “historical phonetics,” i.e. how the language evolved from sounding like it did hundreds of years ago until now. This mf spends 5-10 minutes going on about how everyone should know Latin and that it’s such a shame not all secondary schools in Spain teach it anymore. I got a bad feeling then because the Latin I knew was pretty much limited to “veni vidi vici” and the first verse of “o come all ye faithful.” So, I took myself to the campus bookstore and bought an intro to Latin book. Sure enough, despite not being listed anywhere in the course description (i looked) this class requires a basic knowledge of Latin that i do not have. I’d planned my last semesters of college around having that credit, so I couldn’t just drop the class, so I accept that I’m going to have to figure out what the hell a declension is by myself. This all would have been fine if the professor could make a powerpoint or teach a class. The powerpoints were indecipherable even when sitting in the lecture hall listening to him “explain” things. He didn’t use a textbook, which meant that those cryptic messes that required the goddamn Rosetta Stone to understand were the only reference material I had. The lectures weren’t any better - I could write down every word that man said and I couldn’t keep track of his train of thought. I would have put it down to me just being stupid except that my only friend in the class, by all accounts a smart girl, also didn’t know what the hell was happening. (He also used a different phonetic transcription system instead of the IPA but never said what it was called so I could google it, which was super fun. I never got a useful answer to a question, so I stopped asking.) Come to the end of the semester and it’s almost time for the final. It’s worth I think 70% of the final grade. I was a straight A student at home but I was already drafting an email to the study abroad advising office asking what would happen if I failed. I would be happy with a C- as long as I never had to look that mf in the face ever again. So, I read my Latin textbook, attempted to do research online except that I couldn’t find anyone who explained things the same way the professor did (???) which still mystifies me to this day, and I pulled out those awful powerpoints and studied. I must again reiterate just how bad this man was at making powerpoints. No visual organizational structure, no obvious connection between the random words on the slide, no definitions or useful descriptions, only the occasional confusing diagram. Just terrible. But I spent literally every waking hour of the five days before the exam studying. Honestly. I woke up, ate breakfast while going back through my class notes, did example problems until I wanted to cry, wiped my tears with that freaking Latin textbook, and kept on studying until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore at midnight or 1am. I have never studied so much for an exam before or since. It had to have been at least 40-50 hours. It’s the only time I can say I put in 110%, and you know what? I still barely passed that freaking class. I was like two percentage points over the line between pass and fail, and I was happy with that. Normally, I would be upset if I got a B on an exam. Not this time! I celebrated that barely passing grade and prayed for his sake that I never came across that professor in a dark alley. (My friend in the class did not study like I did, and she ended up with I think 2/10.) Anyway f that guy and his terrible excuses for powerpoints
1:40:00 something i hate hearing people say they quit teaching because of a shit teacher, GOOD LORD THAT MEANS YOU HAVE ETHICS!!!! DONT QUIT!! the industry NEEDS YOU so theres less of these idiotic teachers that do w/e they want because no1 calls them on it or the school backs them. T_T I failed IT basics in high school. ive been building computers and messing with them since i was like 12? 13? at that point i could build my own networks and install/repair computers with EASE. i somehow pissed off the female IT teacher because i finished all the assignments AND homework and just sat in class and read books. she 'somehow' lost all my homework and assignments. AND! changed the network policy for USB devices so that it messed with the USB devices when connected..... w/e she did it fried the entire USB. sad part was it was also my MP3 player.....and my 'backups' on the school network 'mysteriously' dissapeared......... i just went nope. i dont care. (i was also sick and missed so many days of school im amazed i ever graduated + depression so after all avenues i could reasonably try i just went..... screw it. i dont have to deal with her anymore!)
I agree with the person that said that the ethics classes are designed for you to think like the professor. An example I can think of, is when I took a course in that subject, the professor was telling us, can you imagine what would happen if Trump got reelected? And in my head I was thinking, you have got to be kidding me. Yes I can imagine it, we would not be allowing murderers and rapists into this country.
I was checking my grades at the end of a semester once and saw I had a D on a class I thought I'd done well on. I was crying because I figured I must have tanked the final essay something awful for that much of a shin-kick I managed to get through to the professor and it turned out my tutor had mis-written my name on the scoring sheet for a presentation piece. I went up to a B-

Turned out his 16 was actually a 76, he just didn't write it clear enough, and I went through all that trouble for nothing. I still stuck to my German courses though. I liked the professor and I've always loved the language. I'm so glad I did, language learning is so fascinating to me, and I eventually started learning Spanish too.

Those investigators, the Dean and everyone who contributed to the verdict that you were being sexist needs to not only be fired but never EVER hired.
When they fail to account for all important data and give you an invalid report, they can not only be fired for that but also jailed. In a life changing situation like these every detail must be reported OR ELSE the reporter can be fired and charged with fraud as the job of an investigator is to give ALL relevant info. Not just what they are asked for.
That Dean is an idiot. They could have came down and watched the presentation themselves it does not matter what other things they might need to do. The Dean is in charge of EVERYTHING in their field. Giving false reports could literally have changed your life for the worse, meaning that they could have screwed you over.
I had a professor when I about 20. The class I was taking was so stupid. It was like middle to high school level grammar. (It was a for-profit college. I was young and dumb). Anyway, I was having severe mental health issues and need emergency hospitalization for suicidal ideation. I asked the professor if I could make up my work. He was a complete ass hat and said he would flunk me. I told the administrator and she let me drop.
College is a scam
My dumb self but the same text book for class twice. It was annoying because we needed to buy it twice for class even through it was the same book 85 dollars down the drain
Story 59: I’ll do you one even better. Pretty much no one in my major bought textbooks that were required. That’s because I found the textbooks online and distributed them to everyone. We actually got our printer taken away that we could use for free to print out assignments because people were printing the textbooks I sent. Ended up having to use the school printers for my senior year
Puerto Rico had a PotUS stop by for a lil' visit.
The People of Puerto Rico had believed HE the visit was in regard to a natural disaster...
As he made his way toward the airport for his return to DC he took time to speak with Reporters and so his words were broadcast to the Citizens of Puerto Rico as well as US citizens.
And right on international television he wrapped it all up
"The President of Puerto Rico is corrupt."
I couldn't believe how many others asked why I LoL about how he wrapped it all up.
😂
If you live in the us and are stressed about school or are stressed just remember college is not mandatory for anyone my mom is a mechanic for a multi million dollar company and her job requires 2 degrees and 5 years experience and she didn’t even pass HS let alone a degree and she had 1 year experience not 5
What is the game in the background? I've seen it around before, and it looks interesting, but I don't know what it's called. Kinda looks like a Minecraft version of flying around with the Wing Cap from Mario 64.
It's called Superflight, it seems. It's on Steam for like $3
@@GreatQuestionFran Cool, thanks!
I can understand having bad professors, but I guess my main gripe is with the prompt itself. I didn't hear really from a lot of professors, mainly students. It would have been interesting to see how some of the students made professors quit.
Professor Einstein
Accounting class. The online portion was absolutely barebones, and the book seemed to be written in anothet language (it wasnt, it just didn't define literally anything for this base-level class) and when I went to the professor for help, he sneered at me that I clearly didn't have what it takes to teach myself accounting. Yeah, f*ckass, that's why I'm paying you an exorbitant fee- to TEACH ME ACCOUNTING DAMMIT. Luckily I was able to swap it for a different class, with a prof who actually gave a singular fuck (and was honestly a really good teacher, I will remember that class fondly).

The "s" sounds in this video seem harsher than normal, to the point of hurting my ears (with headphones) when everything else sounds like the correct volume.
ALWAYS ALWAYS pirate your text books, they are not worth the money. Worst case, you rent them
26:26 THANK YOU!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME PEOPLE REALIZED THAT THAT'S A BIG ISSUE IN COLLEGE!
Great for long hour shifts
21:04 I got one for you: Deep Six: The Continuing Adventures of L.J. Tibbs by Thom E. Gemcity (a.k.a. NCIS Senior Special Agent Timothy McGee) from THE greatest Police Procedural of all time, NCIS.
I initially thought I had no story but the embedded system one reminded me of my time reading a similar course in my country. No ragequit but A LOT of rage. This was also during the pandemic so distance lectures. Our teacher was so horrible/seemed incompetent - start of course he says no deadlines… just 2 weeks or so later he starts complaining no one has turned anything in and complains to our program head about it. His reports was a JOKE. Some words and pictures and he was content. Sadly this isn’t the snapping point. Fast forward to our course exams. He “proctored” it himself (he was there for like the first minute or 2 of each part, 2 part exam) but there were some slight issues with our LMS that day (canvas) for some people, however he had NONE of it. It ended up in so many complaints there was a meeting like 30-ish minu after the exam, and if it was at campus instead of distance - pretty sure there would’ve been a fight - also his lectures were shit, like 45 minutes where he basically just talked about next assignment. There was one final part of rage, or well… frustration from me at the reexam a couple months after the initial exam. When we asked how he’d determine if we cheated or not, he literally said “I’m not a cop” with some other words. Passed it but in my… 4 almost 5 years of courses at the uni program it’s at least bottom 2 courses I’ve read, if not the worst one.
I would just take it as a challenge. Oh, 50 hours a week? Make it 60. (Or don't. I'm not putting in that many hours a week, that's stupid. No. What is going to happen, I'm talking to them, and if that doesn't work, their boss or bosses until they finally agree to do so or get fired.)
These stories make me glad I'm not American, and never having gone to College.
Let me gueas, that 'religious utah school' is byu? i'm a u of u alumni so....but the op's story of teachers saying autism is a result of sin shines a new light on my nephew's school problems. He has been repeatedly abused by his school teachers...i.e. being locked alone and in the dark in a closet. He's not even that profoundly autistic. And sure he can be a bit much sometimes, but he's still a human being. If anyone would bother to just sit down and talk like a fellow human being with my nephew when he's misbehaving, you can get him in line fairly easily. I should know, he's home schooled now and i'm his language arts teacher. Kid is brilliant but needs a little extra attention for everything. Usa schools are fucking garbage. I'm suprised i even graduated as i am autistic too and adhd and hated school growing up.
wrong title....

I have several, dropped off of chemistry twice, same class taken twice, I know what I lacked. Ambition went down the drain after that one, but that’s because I also knew I couldn’t, partly because of what I lacked visually. I am functionally blind due to a rear Jeanette condition and dictate everything, so sorry for the lack of articulation. Heart of darkness happens to you one of my three least favorite books of all time, dries a bone, and I hate it, you poor, unfortunate soul, deal trigger warnings from it, there is nothing to be triggered by unless you have issues with colonialism and racism. Let’s see, a psych teacher, getting either a high or low in her class and she said I wouldn’t get more than see, and then taking a creative writing class stomped out whatever value I had in creative writing, it lost its intrinsic value. Only reason I didn’t quit? Because quitting and giving up is not my DNA, change course about twice from zoology, history, to anthropology
really do like yall's content but you really gotta look into better speech to text programs. im only watching on second monitor ever and i catch over a dozen BIG mistakes per episode. it doesnt diminish the quality of the content but i doubt its making it easy for people not fluent in english or hard of hearing who would really benefit from closed captions
the narrators on this channel are real actual people with real voices who make mistakes because they are human 👍
uh you know people narrate these right? Humans make mistakes
Hi
1:28:09 that story made me drop my cheese wtf
Back in high school, we had a science teacher with really one of the most meek and unassuming presences you could imagine and, he would always be walking around the class in his lab coat, just as you would picture the typical science teacher to do. Well, being the little shits we were, we used to just have the best time slipping random things into his pockets as he would pass by, just things like broken up bits of pencils or whatever other little bits of junk we could find. It was hilarious seeing him eventually put his hand into the pocket and the look of utter confusion on his face when he felt all the junk that had unknowingly appeared in there. He would tip it all into the bin, and at the first opportunity we would retrieve it and start putting it back in the pockets again, only to see him eventually find it there again, with greater confusion. It was too funny to do and watch.
This went on for quite some time, until one day he happened to turn his head enough at the exact moment to see my mate behind him, who had his arm fully extended and about to deposit some more junk into his pocket. Well, this usually reserved man, with his balding crown of hair, suddenly went absolutely mental in an instant, his bald spot was almost glowing with how instantaneously red it went. My mate who he caught, had also glued the picture of a topless model's body, with a picture of the head of Saddam Hussein attached, to one of his workbooks. Whilst going absolutely crazy and screaming all sorts, the teacher grabbed this book in his rage, tore it up, and literally threw it at my mate's face.
I just couldn't help it, but I was laughing so hard at it all, and when his head shot round to glare at me, I can still see the face of pure rage, and hear the resounding "GET OUT OF MY CLASS YOU SNIGGERING LITTLE RAT!" that followed. I was gone though, I just couldn't stop laughing, even now it still gets me a little. As much as we wound him up though, I really hope he came to see the funny side of it after the fact. We did get him good with it.
How mamy narrarators are there? You sound like a fourth one.
Requesting proof of life on the original narrator.
@mhfuzzball he's around though it seems he's delegated to the sad stories now.
I love your channel and these long posts are great. I know you all do this to earn money. I can’t afford to pay for ad-free UA-cam and have no other audiovisual entertainment but this and Tubi. I am honestly that poor. So I try to watch and appreciate even ad filled content. But really, an ad every two or three minutes is more than I can handle. Sorry. Won’t be watching any more of your videos.
Like actually, keep your damn opinions to yourself. Just read the damn stories. There are WAY more shit horrible teachers then good ones. Honestly, stop talking in genreal fr
The professor for my sanitation class (culinary arts major) wouldnt teach a damn thing ever. Every day we had class she would come in and talk about the 16 and pregnant tv show with the girls on class. Every teat she gave everyone either barely passed or completely failed. Me a few other people eventually complain to the department head and dean and she retired the next semester for health reasons
The story about the graphic design teacher Anthony reminded me of my own school horror story.
A couple years ago, I took a graphic design and photography class in a vocational training school. The teacher was a bitch and a half, and HATED neurodivergent students. She also neglected the regular class and instead spent most of her time working on the SkillsUSA portion. I'm the two years I was in her class, I witnessed her make four different students cry, and drive two of them out of her class. She took a particular interest in me, because I'm stubborn and hardheaded. I didn't ask for help unless I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't like group work, and being a little slower than a lot of other students, i needed a bit extra time to complete assignments. She didn't like that, and would try to shove me into things I had already made clear I cannot do. And if I didn't comply, she would run to the disability councilor to tattle on me.
It got so bad that even the disability councilor asked her why the hell she doesn't listen to the accomodations I asked for. She once even cornered me as soon as I walked in the door asking why I was constantly late when I ride a public bus, and threatened to go to the disability councilor. I looked her in the face and asked her why she had to go to the councilor when I'm the one she has the problem with, and I'm standing right in front of her. If she wants to resolve the issue, why won't she just talk to me? She stared back for a second before turning and walking off saying "I don't want to talk about this". I and many other students tried to report her, all of our concerns were ignored. Funny part was that she was fired from a local college for the exact same things.
Long story somewhat shortened, she made both years hell for me and all other students who were neurodivergent. I managed to pass and complete the course, but after I left, i found this out through a couple friends a year below me, she STILL continued talking down about me and using me, a student with an IEP that was constantly being ignored, as an example of 'what not to do in class'.
Any professor thst sells their own book for their own class are there strictly for their own gain and dont deserve to be treated as a living bresthing creature with emotions or feelings.
Except for the ones that "accidentally" leak the whole thing for free to the whole class.
my prof made an abridged version of a longer textbook and charges only 30$. Then we have to buy a completely different 120$ textbook because its a business skills & excel class rolled into 3 credits. Thoughts?
I had a non professor teacher that made us buy the book, it was a community College. And the teacher charged out the ass for ghat damned book. There wasn't even an unbound option.
I also had a similar standing teacher rhat had us rent the book they bought from them for about $15 and we got a $10 refund if we returned it in perfect condition. I decided to keep that book, and give it to someone in the next semester for free and the teacher also encouraged that. There's a verity of ways it can go. But I do think a lot of teachers are just there for themselves, even ones rhat don't make you buy their crappy overpriced books.
Good lord, the number of whiny snowflakes in these stories. "The prof gave me a bad grade because they didn't like my disagreeing with their ideals..."
Nope. They gave you bad grades because you were intellectually lazy and checked out of the class because you didn't have any respect for someone who had different beliefs from you.
(Source- I witnessed this occurring in person during my own college days. The loudest whiners who complained about the profs were invariably the ones who couldn't be bothered to put in the work.)
I'm a foreign ESL lecturer at a Chinese university. Originally from the USA. I basically took a summer gig, teaching English conversation skills, the summer after graduating college and just never left. That was almost 10 years ago. While I do, do my job and teach the skills and information I'm supposed to, I let my classes grade themselves. If a supermajority of the class agrees with the grades everyone gets, those are the grades I submit. The only exception being I don't let anyone get screwed. I do keep track of everyones performance in the class and I'm very clear that the vote is not a popularity contest. It usually takes a couple of hours, but in the end we always come up with results that satisfy a supermajority of the class. Twice in my career, so far, I've had students rage quit their education because they couldn't convince their classmates they deserved a passing grade. They even tried appealing their grade to the Dean of Academic Affairs, but like I said I do keep track of their perfomance and I can easily justify all grades I give. My syllabus and grading policies comply fully with the university's grading policy, so their arguments had no legs to stand on.
I’m about to have a good 2 hours
11:59 That is ridiculous. There is no point in making the student do that. They don't learn anything, and they don't get to do what EVERY programmer does. Test the code and use documentation. I'm just flabbergasted
In one of the unis i studied in we had an exam like that. 5 tasks, so 5 bits of code.
The code was supposed to be in C++ but i accidentally initiated the variables for the first task in Pascal.
The professor refused to even read further after that and failed me automatically.
Most likely because i was good with practice and bad with theory so i basically did almost nothing on (his) theory classes and had almost straight As on practice classes (that were taught by another professor who wasn't on the exam)
The students whinging about SJWs and Democrats instantly make me laugh. Yall ain't fooling no one lol.
Story 7: I've studied in cartoon animation, and had to take a "drawing from model" class. The teacher made us buy a bunch of supplies, and made us carry them all for each class, even if we were to use only one or two of them for the lesson of the day. By the end of the semester, some were never used, and some were used only once. And these supplies weren't cheap either. Still have some in my drawing supply stash just because I don't want them to go to waste...
My favorite narrator!
since when was there octagonal man
Junior year of college, studying abroad in Spain. Taking classes in Spanish (I’d been taking classes at home taught 100% in Spanish for years at that point), basically no comprehension issues. I’d also taken several semesters of linguistics classes at that point. I mention all of this to say that my Spanish is fine and I do have a background in linguistics, so neither of those things can be blamed for how this class went.
Day 1. The class is billed as “historical phonetics,” i.e. how the language evolved from sounding like it did hundreds of years ago until now. This mf spends 5-10 minutes going on about how everyone should know Latin and that it’s such a shame not all secondary schools in Spain teach it anymore. I got a bad feeling then because the Latin I knew was pretty much limited to “veni vidi vici” and the first verse of “o come all ye faithful.” So, I took myself to the campus bookstore and bought an intro to Latin book.
Sure enough, despite not being listed anywhere in the course description (i looked) this class requires a basic knowledge of Latin that i do not have. I’d planned my last semesters of college around having that credit, so I couldn’t just drop the class, so I accept that I’m going to have to figure out what the hell a declension is by myself.
This all would have been fine if the professor could make a powerpoint or teach a class. The powerpoints were indecipherable even when sitting in the lecture hall listening to him “explain” things. He didn’t use a textbook, which meant that those cryptic messes that required the goddamn Rosetta Stone to understand were the only reference material I had. The lectures weren’t any better - I could write down every word that man said and I couldn’t keep track of his train of thought. I would have put it down to me just being stupid except that my only friend in the class, by all accounts a smart girl, also didn’t know what the hell was happening. (He also used a different phonetic transcription system instead of the IPA but never said what it was called so I could google it, which was super fun. I never got a useful answer to a question, so I stopped asking.)
Come to the end of the semester and it’s almost time for the final. It’s worth I think 70% of the final grade. I was a straight A student at home but I was already drafting an email to the study abroad advising office asking what would happen if I failed. I would be happy with a C- as long as I never had to look that mf in the face ever again. So, I read my Latin textbook, attempted to do research online except that I couldn’t find anyone who explained things the same way the professor did (???) which still mystifies me to this day, and I pulled out those awful powerpoints and studied.
I must again reiterate just how bad this man was at making powerpoints. No visual organizational structure, no obvious connection between the random words on the slide, no definitions or useful descriptions, only the occasional confusing diagram. Just terrible. But I spent literally every waking hour of the five days before the exam studying. Honestly. I woke up, ate breakfast while going back through my class notes, did example problems until I wanted to cry, wiped my tears with that freaking Latin textbook, and kept on studying until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore at midnight or 1am. I have never studied so much for an exam before or since. It had to have been at least 40-50 hours. It’s the only time I can say I put in 110%, and you know what? I still barely passed that freaking class. I was like two percentage points over the line between pass and fail, and I was happy with that. Normally, I would be upset if I got a B on an exam. Not this time! I celebrated that barely passing grade and prayed for his sake that I never came across that professor in a dark alley. (My friend in the class did not study like I did, and she ended up with I think 2/10.)
Anyway f that guy and his terrible excuses for powerpoints
1:40:00 something i hate hearing people say they quit teaching because of a shit teacher, GOOD LORD THAT MEANS YOU HAVE ETHICS!!!! DONT QUIT!! the industry NEEDS YOU so theres less of these idiotic teachers that do w/e they want because no1 calls them on it or the school backs them. T_T
I failed IT basics in high school. ive been building computers and messing with them since i was like 12? 13? at that point i could build my own networks and install/repair computers with EASE. i somehow pissed off the female IT teacher because i finished all the assignments AND homework and just sat in class and read books. she 'somehow' lost all my homework and assignments. AND! changed the network policy for USB devices so that it messed with the USB devices when connected..... w/e she did it fried the entire USB. sad part was it was also my MP3 player.....and my 'backups' on the school network 'mysteriously' dissapeared......... i just went nope. i dont care. (i was also sick and missed so many days of school im amazed i ever graduated + depression so after all avenues i could reasonably try i just went..... screw it. i dont have to deal with her anymore!)
I agree with the person that said that the ethics classes are designed for you to think like the professor.
An example I can think of, is when I took a course in that subject, the professor was telling us, can you imagine what would happen if Trump got reelected?
And in my head I was thinking, you have got to be kidding me. Yes I can imagine it, we would not be allowing murderers and rapists into this country.
i have a funny feeling the guy in story 13 mightve actually not been a team player
I was checking my grades at the end of a semester once and saw I had a D on a class I thought I'd done well on. I was crying because I figured I must have tanked the final essay something awful for that much of a shin-kick
I managed to get through to the professor and it turned out my tutor had mis-written my name on the scoring sheet for a presentation piece. I went up to a B-
On one hand, having a degree can definitely take you places and that shouldn’t be ignored. However, as a paramedic with no student loans, it’s so nice to just be paid and not worry about debt.
For that reserve one, colleges are required by federal law to work with your schedule. They could’ve sued.
