When a teacher is proud that everyone is failing the class, drop the class if you can, they obviously don’t get the point of teaching
Tiffany Zhu report them if you can.
Technical colleges in my state get funding based on the outcomes of their graduates. So my teachers goal was to basically have ZERO people graduate and to load on the homework. By the end of the course the remaining people in my class where people who where already experienced or had been working in the field previously.
@Jøséph Āntöñ I thought these days SJW kids ran high schools and colleges and could basically make all the rules.
@@DolFan316 "i thought me generalizing the younger generation and calling them stupid fucks and that they make their own rules was correct but oopdeloop"
The point of teaching is ensuring your students know exactly wtf you're telling them. Even if you're a college professor with 100 pairs of eyes looking at you, you must dumb it down enough that 70% of the population "gets it".
I never understood why professors take pride in saying nobody will pass the class. Why wouldn’t you want your students to pass???
Because professors don’t care about their students. They care about their money.
@Jøséph Āntöñ but it's a measurement of how successful they are so why wouldn't they want people to pass (below college ofc).
Or professors of intro level classes that say “expect to spend 6-8 hours a week outside of class working if you want a B”. I don’t even spend 2 hours outside of class on my 4000 level classes for my major.
Failing students = Failed Teacher.
my mom was a teacher and I helped her grade her students and when someone passed I felt a great deal of amazement because "good dude" and at the same time there were this students who were really dumb but grading them was hilarious.
Not pride just that in that moment I felt bombing a student was just really fun. Its evil I know.
God, I hate teachers that act like you don't have other classes and your own life to worry about ;-;
Couldnt say it enough
I was told when I entered college that to professors, their class was the only important one and it wasn't their job to worry about my other classes, it was mine.
So, while it sucks, I'm pretty sure it is too common a concept to fight.
lol all of my teachers at school
Lol they are like “homework will only take 45min-1hr of your life and the rest of the day is yours” BRUH I HAVE OTHER CLASSES THAT GUVE HOMEWORK TOOOOOOO
@@SilverGallowglass Yeah, when I saw that entry in the video, my immediate thought was, "So, every college professor ever?"
To the Deaf person who's college didn't give you an interpreter and teachers refused to give accommodations, sue the school. It is illegal. Throw the ADA in their face.
use braille so they can tell what you're saying
@@RichConnerGMN theyre deaf, not blind XD
You go sue them
@@RichConnerGMN um, they're able to speak. they just cant hear. this rlly has nothing to do with the situation
@@icewing202 I know it's a year ago, but they were joking
"didn't need to talk to my wife anyway" best one
The best people to make a crazy statement are the ones that are consistent acting on those statements.
Ale I would’ve said my kinda teacher
Atleast he commits.
My favourite kind of ppl is the kind that do what they say, and I gotta say his commitment was pretty good
I have to respect his commitment on that one.
"But the book is only $250 so..."
This makes me blind with rage and I'm not even in the class
I know. I can see paying a little money for materials in a college course. But not $250 for a book you chose to write to boost that ego of yours.
Right!
@@ninja-981 Unless it's specialized materials for a graduate class that discuss a new subject recently popped up or revised knowledge... it's bs. Well-written materials already exist, for every single subject that can be taught in undergrad. Fundamental Newtonian physics didn't change, and charging 100$ for what'd be considered public sector knowledge at this point is just capitalism collaborating with professors to turn in a profit, which would be considered illegal in almost any other sector.
@@VNYoshi Yeah that is true.
a lot of these make me blind with rage. education that costs an arm and a leg and puts people in serious debt shouldn't be so horrid.
"If everyone fails, it's not for an inability to learn but for an inability to teach"
I remember having to spell out to my father that if everyone is failing a class, it's not the student's fault because chances are, the teacher can't teach. I'm also 90% sure that he still doesn't understand the idea that sometimes teachers are not good at teaching.
Are you ASIAN??????
Exactly! How am I supposed to understand what I did wrong if you neither tell me what I did wrong, nor actually teach the correct method. I am currently taking a class where the professor is like that. Complete and total bitch, and I don’t say that lightly.
@@saraswatkanika The same thought popped up in my head too lol
A LOT of professors are not good teachers. It's partly because teaching is not valued in colleges and universities and partly because he/she is almost certainly incompetent as a teacher. Incompetence is rampant among college profs. In fact, one could say that college profs are not teachers at all. They are mere "facilitators," and bad ones at that.
@@tabletalk33it’s not usually incompetence it’s indifference most profs don’t want to teach and would much rather be doing research in their field but pretty much all universities require you to teach atleast one class a semester for you to be able to use the universities labs and grad students
First day of class, prof says "Turn to page 394."
Micah Nightwolf I love you for this
Oh my God so true
Werewolves?!
That would be the test teacher ever if they really said that the first day of class. Now if they said turn to 390, you are screwed.
That professor would be a keeper!
"You won't pass this class because I'm a bad teacher who's proud of the fact that my students don't understand the subject."
I never got that mentality... You literally had one job, teaching, and you can barely do that. But those kinds of people seem to be under the impression that, if their students do poorly, it's because they're lazy or something, and not that they suck at their job.
@@aurea. Word. If students consistently fail because of a teacher, that teacher might be let go. I guess that's what they want.
I had a teacher that everyone said was really hard to pass. Turned out it was just because he covered a lot more material and expected students to pay attention in class, I passed no problem.
I had a teacher who bragged about a 54% pass rate.
It was the highest pass rate in the school for the subject. Almost no-one got an A in that class no matter WHO their teacher was.
Pretty sure that first one is a reason why you SHOULDN’T drop the class.
Yeah at least he's following his own rules and he isn't acting like all those entitled teachers
I mean, honestly, I know there's chances of needing to keep your phone active in cases of emergencies, so you can easily go to them and ask for emergency reasons.
And with him following his own rules and making a good joke out of it, I'd stick around and make sure to keep my phone off unless for emergencies.
That one sounded so cool that I think is made up
I wonder how long he worked there and how many new phones he has bought in the past....
@@giovannicallisto9037
Probably had a decent phone case. If I was going to pull shit like that, I'd make sure I had the best one I could find.
Female teacher, likely in her late 30s-early 40s, suddenly stopped talking, broke into a full sprint, yelled "Don't close it!" before jumping and sliding across the computer table, just because she wanted to catch a student who had Facebook pulled up on his browser.
Scared the guy shitless.
Was he okay?
@@elizabethcharlton7755 yes he was fine
@Bouutique Ms
I went to 3 different educations with several teachers, so I had a lot of shitty ones coming through. (It's a relief to be able to complain about them on here though xD)
One of those was a lady, teaching Photoshop, Adobe-Something and InDesign (or something similar.)
It so happens that one day I was done with my assignments and went on online-MSN to talk to my friends. One girl was suicidal and I knew it'd been a heavy day for her.
She was crying and said she wanted to slit her wrists. I said she shouldn't do it and tried to cheer her up. She talked about her sisters miscarriage and how the whole family was crying and fighting and how she was longing for death and I kept saying; 'It's alright, I'll call you this noon, my class will be over in half an hour.'
She just replied; I don't know, I keep thinking of throwing myself off a building', and just as I wanted to reply something back, the teacher screeched my name.
I clicked another screen open, turned around and asked; 'Yes?'
The teacher (in front of about 23 classmates (a.k.a. bullies) she yelled; 'What are you typing?! I looked at the main screen and I could see you were chatting with someone!'
I said; 'Yes...my friend. Were you reading our private conversation?'
She said; 'I saw you saying you wanted to throw yourself off a building!'
The class laughed and I turned red with anger and said; 'That was my friend. I'm trying to help her, she is suicidal, why were you reading our-'
And the teacher continued; 'Well, I saw things about slithing wrists and I do not condone you speaking like that.' Again, the class laughed and I said; 'That was my friend! I was telling her nót to think like that! Don't you understand?! Why were you readi-'
And she replied; 'Well, but in that case, that whole part about feeling lonely and miserable díd come from you!' And she then proceeded to go back to the main screen (on her desk) and click around in my pages, to the screen on which currently popped up; 'Are you still there? Hello?' and she started reading our conversation out loud.
(Including the part where I reassured her that everyone has bad feelings and I told my friend that the last time she tried killing herself, I'd cried the entire night about her and that I couldn't imagine not having her as a friend and I tried reminding her of the fun conversations we'd had, etc.)
I shouted at her to stop, but she continued and then I fought myself to my computer and made her stop by clicking the entire page away.
My friend thought I'd suddenly disconnected, so that was awful, but I managed to leave the class immediately and call her, so it was alright.
The teacher refused to apologize and changed her story, saying I had 'obviously not finished my assignment.' And that therefore, she'd had the opportunity to check what I was doing.
It was disturbing to say the least.
@@Widdekuu91 I can't imagine something like that. What possesses you to treat another human being like that when they're going through all that? Is your friend okay?
@@elizabethcharlton7755
Well, she was alright that day, she had a couple of moments after that in which she wasn't, but I'm afraid to say we lost contact over the years.
We were friends for 7 years, but (in a nutshell) she lied to me about some situations, I told her that this was serious, she got angry and broke contact.
Last thing I heard from her was 3 years after, when I was 22 or 23. And I'm now 28.
I did check if she was still alive though, in between, but I'm not sure how her situation is now.
..I just checked her facebook and it seems she's doing alright. Going to lots of concerts and in a relationship, I hope she's happy :)
Thanks for the reply ^_^
I actually had a professor for several math classes who wrote all his own textbooks, but they were free and actually fantastic. Plus, he would always come into class saying, "I'VE HAD TEA, I'M READY FOR THIS" I actually still look at those text books, post-graduation.
A hero with no cape...
people who scream funny things at serious moments are the best.
My history teacher did the same thing (writing his own textbook). One of the best, most comprehensive, mostly unbiased history books I've ever read
dragongem124
Ooh!!! Is there an online copy of that perhaps? I'm curious.
I- wow. Just wow. That's amazing man
"sit closer, I can't give you special treatment [just because you're completely deaf]"
im pretty sure this is illegal
I actually think it is. They're purposely failing the student for something they can't do anything about.
lmao its 100% illegal. Any lawyer would take this case immediately. A uni refusing to teach a s student because he's deaf? Imagine the outcry
i'm pretty sure it is, or you can at least take action to force them to follow the conditions a student needs
oh it is. if the person is in the US, it's a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
It's in direct violation of the "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", and that teacher should have been held liable, as the college could have been sued for hiring a discriminatory staff member.
Insecure professor with a PhD and on a power trip isnt that unusual.
I wish you were kidding I just dropped a class today
Still a good reason to drop a class.
Once heard a would-be PhD literally saying "my dick's bigger than yours" in some oil change scam video. I'll never know if that was real or a troll.
Not at all. One teacher who was new to the school I was at (some time ago) literally came in and was very upset that they weren’t listed as “Dr.” And was actually really bad at teaching. Funny thing is he left in about a month...
If you think Professor with a PHD on a power trip is bad.....try a principal with it....oh god the last year of my highschool we got a new one that would throw an absolute FIT if you didn't refer to him as "dr." ......of course none of us did and we as teenagers enjoyed pissing him off. No joke though he threatened every senior with not being able to walk in graduation if we skipped on senior skip day....now obviously most if us ignored him and since it was a large majority he couldn't enfource it but MAN he had a real stick up his ass.
Me - "should we send this assignment in by email or physical copy?"
English lecturer - "email, i will want all of your assignments sent in by email"
Another student a few questions later - "should we print this assignment out and give it to you?"
English lecturer - "yes it has to be printed and handed in to me"
Teachers like this (many of these in our school) make me believe in robots. Disfunctional, dangerous robots.
Solution: Hand everything in both ways.
Scatterbrained idiots. Hand it in both printed and email if you aren’t sure.
Scatterbrain idiotism might be the key here! It's also associated with a lack of humor, which is a thing both robots and most of the teachers share. Brilliant insight K1naku5ana3R1ka.
@@KnakuanaRka I should clarify, immediately after this response from the lecturer I asked her what she meant and she said she only wanted assignments handed in by email. Pretty sure she isn't a robot but yeah it was just confusing. My best guess is she misheard one of our initial questions.
"I hate pre-meds the most" and "I will fail half of you. I will."
tenured, of course
pharma or ethics?
My art teacher randomly disappeared and we later on found out it was because he was selling coke to the students
lonkchase _Procceeds to @_
I can’t find out if it’s the drug or drink
@@bunnydraws9695 the drug lol
VERY art teacher move
@@claudiabotes1919 The drug is spelled Coc.
Just because you have a PhD, does not mean you can teach.
So true. To be honest, researcher and professor should be entirely different jobs.
007MrYang exactly, i feel like there should be different requirements to become a teacher. like some kind of certification process
I had a math teacher who clearly was not good at teaching and horrible at making tests. For our first test, it was so long that nobody could finish it in time, he had the assumption that we should only be spending about a minute per question and half the test were much longer equations than a minute would allow, so most people got a horrible grade on it. When he handed them back, he thought the best idea was to tell us we should consider taking a lower level of math. One of my classmates spoke up pointing out it was just because the test was far too long, and that seemed to make it click for him and he apologized. He later explained he actually went to school to be a researcher, but apparently there's a rule that you have to teach for so many years before they allow you to become one. If that's true, I find it to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, those are two completely different specializations, and if a teacher is bad at teaching and ends up with classes full of students failing, that's not only a waste of time and money for the students but then the teacher is likely going to be fired. We worked together with the teacher to make it a better semester for all of us and everyone ended up doing pretty well, and the rest of his tests were much better.
EDIT: To clarify, "a minute per question" isn't so bad on its own, but it was an hour and a half class period and he had 100 questions on this test. I can only guess he expected us to be able to do a lot of questions in much less than a minute to even it out but dude, leeway.
God, yes. I had one on my first year in uni - Digital Logic/Digital systems. PhD in the subject, and all he knew how to do was to read off the PowerPoint and give us useless example tasks that were too easy to ever appear on a test. Like, seriously.
@@KazumiKiguma I don't get those super tight time-scheduled tests. Like, the tests are there to see if we understand the subjects of the course - it is not about seeing if we can answer equations faster than Eminem can spew insults at a rap battle.. When was it ever required of someone to professionally speed solve equations outside extreme fields like piloting space crafts or experimenting with explosive chemical science..
I had a history professor at Camden County College, and he was my favorite professor of all time. First day of class he straight-up told everybody that the mandatory textbook hasn't been updated in over 80 years and it's filled with inconsistencies and information that is outdated. He taught us through his own power points and memory, and it was the most fun I've ever had in history. He was hilarious, generous but fair, and just a full person to be around. Especially when he would bring in his dog who had separation anxiety after the professor's wife passed. Hope he's doing well.
I had a history professor at a community college who put a trash can on a desk with the word "tree" written on it and just said "debate me." One of the best professors I've had.
@@bengibson8982 I wanna debate him! Lmao, that's great
"this class is just as a helper, you'll be doing the majority of the work by yourself at home"
aimee that's literally what university is, college is for people who are incompetent to teach themselves
Alisa Mich I’m in high school lmao
Alisa Mich and that’s definitely not only what uni is for, it’s for extending your education, getting experience and making connections
Amarah C Yea , because you can totally get an engineering job without a degree.
Amarah C woah, been to both and that is not true. Uni just has people that care way less and get payed way more.
Teacher bragging on the first day about how low the pass rate is for their course = DROP
Same thing happened to me in 11th grade.
Punished Soleimani if it’s bragging drop it. If they are saying barely anybody passes because it’s a hard subject and it really is hard, don’t.
My accounting 101 prop was like this, unfortunately the class was required for my major and props to teach it were limited so I couldn’t drop it. He also bragged that he didn’t care if we complained about his lack of teaching style bc he had tenure. Smh
@@TuckyBlue I mean, no matter how hard the subject is, if they're a good teacher, some people should at least pass 🤷🏼♀️
@@madisonhobbs323 i meant if they say the pass rate isnt high as other classes
That cell phone thing in the beginning was actually pretty badass.
He practiced what he preached. He might be a nut, but he's a RESPECTABLE nut! : )
@@WorldWalker128 That told me to enroll in the class rather than drop it. Typically the nuts are the most passionate and the most interesting to listen to, which means you learn better. At least that was my experience.
I had a teacher that said: "If you phone rings, you bring cake" - His phone rang like 10 minutes after - He brougth cake the next day
He isn't immune to his own rules. I can respect it.
t h i s p l e a s e s t h e n u t
I remember on the first day of my AP Human Geography class some students were talking, and my teacher said “ is that y’all talking or is that the voices in my head “
im not sure if i should laugh or be concerned
that one’s really funny though
My PE teacher in 9th grade was fired and taken to court for sexually assulting the males in her classes.
@Travis Valkrum
Im still flabbergasted by the amount of sexual abuse happening in schools..we need harsher inspections, that *ask* the students anoymously who's been bothering them, to begin with.
Thén you can try personal convo's.
One of the gym teachers at my school dated a girl immediately after she graduated. Even before then, we all complained about him because he would always undress us with his eyes and just have the creepiest behavior. He still gets complaints from about every class (and most teachers that notice it as well) he’s ever had but can’t be fired because there is no evidence other than hundreds of girls feeling way too uneasy. I understand why he can’t be fired, but at the same time, we all know it’s only a matter of when before he goes full sex offender. I just hope a student’s life isn’t ruined by him.
In sixth grade, the male PE teacher (we had a male teacher and a female teacher) had sixty girls report on at least three occasions that he had just walked into the girls' lockeroom and stared. (In my innocent mind at the time I just thought he was making sure no one was stealing or getting into fights, so I never reported it.) He got switched to being the Health teacher. In eighth grade, he had over 200 complaints against him because he would throw girls' pencils across the classroom and ask them to bend down and pick them up. One girl said he turned 69 and made jokes about it to her whole class.
Last I heard (when I was in 11th grade, so it's been several years) he still worked there and no disciplinary action was taken.
Holy crap. And the fact that she probably knew she could get away with it (cause they're men) shakes me to the core.
Was she a woman? Or a man?
I love it! "Didn't need to talk to my wife anyway!" Best kind of madman, consistent and with a sense of humor.
Teresa Ellis right ??😂 I thought that was great
the best thing is i can totally imaging one of my past teachers doing something like that as a joke
I had a sixth grade social studies teacher who had a doctorate. She was a bit strict, though nice, but the one thing that I didn't like was that she'd get so mad if you said "Mrs." Instead of "Dr.". She'd say the same thing every time: "i didn't get my dr. to be called mrs.". You didn't get your dr. to be a teacher at a *middle school* , but here you are.
My freshman bio teacher had a doctorate in biology, and we did call her Dr., but the class was easy for me and I would read after finishing work and, like in most classes, she would eventually continue to the next lesson as i was immersed in my book and would get mad at me for reading during class. I found out a year later that, because of this, she was convinced I hated science even though I was good at it and told this to my chem teacher when she saw I was slotted for AP chem the year after. FYI, I don't hate science, I just really like reading 😂
I had two science teachers who had Dr. In their titles but never complained when new people called them Ms. (They were single) but by second quarter, everyone called them Dr natrually because we got used to it without either of them forcing it down people's throats.
At least she didnt give you a 0 on a test for every time you called her mrs lol
Now this story reminds me of my philosophy high school teacher. If you called her "Professor [insert her last name]" she ignored you, so we always have to call her Dr. [insert her last name].
Two of my uni professors had PhDs and still didn't mind if you called them Prof., they're cool on my books.
My middle school Mandarin teacher had a Doctorate but was super sweet. Other teachers would jokingly say we should call her Dr., but she always insisted on being called Mrs.
One of my history lecturers had a 10 minute argument with a partially deaf girl because he didn’t want to wear the lil microphone thing that literally every lecturer has to wear so that she can hear the lecture
It's probably in this video but i may have missed it: if the teacher brags about how difficult their class is and how many fail it, drop it. If a teacher is proud of being incompetent and not being able to pass a reasonable number of students, that should be a poor reflection of their ability to teach.
That's the understatement of the year. After so many bad experiences, if a prof LOOKIED at me the wrong way, I would be ready to drop.
"No one will get an A in this course"
Excuse me?
"No one will get an A in this course"
that sounds like a challenge to me
“I will make sure I loose my teaching job”
"Ah, so you are incapable of teaching to that standard, or of fairly grading students work. God be with you, because I won't."
Drops class byeeeeee
That's that bull shit. I'd pack my bags and jet so fast.
I just realized how many channels are narrated by the same guy

Chem professor (who wasn’t actually a licensed teacher) was going over the exam answers and came across one that no one had gotten right. He tried for 15 min but couldn’t figure out the correct answer.....He wrote the test himself.
😂😂
Had a Psychology professor who took up much of the first day condescendingly explaining that she would only answer to Doctor or Professor and that calling her "ma'am" was unacceptable. This was in Texas. Good luck with that. She also told us that an introvert is someone who does things for the approval of others while an extravert is someone who does things for self-driven, internal motivations. After that I started doing my coursework by figuring out the correct answer and then delivering the exact opposite. I passed with an A.
Calling someone you know is a doctor “ma’am” is quite disrespectful.
@@maryeverett2266Calling... A doctor Madam is disrespectful? Is... Calling a doctor Sir disrespectful as well?
They're very polite ways of addressing people that imply at least equity if not superiority of the person you're speaking to. Being originally things you'd call nobility and all.
i dropped the class after my teacher made fun of my dead grandad.
What the hell
You did the right thing here.
Johnny Testickle A friend of mine had the professor tell him that he didn't have what it took to get an A in the coursr so he responded, "That right there is why your wife left you" and the professor stormed out of the class.
CallMe Samuel
Wow so funny. Everyone is laughing.
If my prof did that I would be like "You're coming next"
I had a chemistry teacher and every time I asked her a question she wouldn't answer it and say that in university I will need to learn to teach myself and would not answer the question.
himnish chopra because in university your expected to know how to Google things or read books properly to get the information your looking for, professors are not at all expected to help you individually, that's why my father stopped teaching
@@amarahc4351 Your dad was a bad teacher, good thing he quit. He (and you) are wrong, teachers are supposed to answer questions in university.
Theorimlig they do if it's not already in the literature, or its a specific question about the literature, but most university students don't do the readings they need to do before class, he quit cause he became a tutor for high school students instead, he's great, just not for people who don't want to put in 130% into everything. It's not a bad thing to expect people to try as hard as they can at something, laziness is a super shitty quality to foster in any capacity
@@amarahc4351 So...if they're not supposed to teach, why are they a teacher?
Garden of Entropy the responsibility of a professor is to do specific teachings that they need more comprehensive lessons for, your responsibility as a student is to do your readings and extra research... You must be baffled at how grad degrees work with thesis studies
At least that first Econ teacher stayed true to his own rule
I had an English professor who said that anyone who grew up in a home that spoke a language that wasn’t English, would never be proficient in reading or writing English because “it’s just a fact”. I grew up with two Spanish speaking parents, and had gotten a writing scholarship to that school for an essay I wrote in, what’ll you know, English.
I grew up in a Mandarin speaking household, and was the spelling bee champion at my school two years in a row, so not even a remotely similar alphabet/writing system. Never pushed by my parents, I was just a kid who loved to read reference books and 19th century novels.
That English prof sounds really dumb
One of my best friends was born and lived all of his life in Eastern Europe. English was not his native language.
Dude speaks it better than any native English speaker I've ever known.
As an English teacher, he should realize that people who's first language isn't English, understand the rules of English better than most people who's first language is English.
There is some truth to this if you start learning English later in life and don't learn both languages at the same time. Most people have a hard time with grammar. Especially when moving from an eastern language (Mandarin, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, etc) to English.
One of my former middle school teachers hated pencils and threw them out the window. He always made us use pens.
He was a math teacher.
Wh-wh-wha...?
Oof
Are you sure he wasn't Satan?
Because using pens with make maths class 10 to me easier
I had a chemistry teacher that was the same way about pencils (pens only, pencils never), and made it a rule that you only do one line through a mistake, not scribble it out or white it out. Though he had a good reason for it. Often times, students would get confused and start to question their work on a problem. But just because you start to feel confused on something doesn't mean you were doing it wrong, it just might be nerves and such, so rather than losing potentially a ton of work for one problem only to find out you were doing it right the first time, you could just look back over the more legible work that is now the correct work, put a little note on the side to say you realized that, and save yourself a lot of heart ache. He also gave partial credit if he saw the correct approach in the crossed out section. Between that, his tendency to put the most missed questions from the previous test on the next one, and his meticulous notes that he gave in class, he was easily the best teacher I ever had. In high school I had a low b for chemistry, but while being taught by this guy in college, I had a near perfect A for chemistry 1 and 2.
I had a music teacher who made us watch drum line.
Every day.
For the whole semester.
And only taught us when an administrator came in to observe.
At least we all passed.
XD ok me as a teacher tho
Had an economics teacher like this except we watched prison and survival videos. Best way to end my senior year lol
My business administration prof used to spend over 60% of lecture time to talk about Brexit and Politics, at least he gave us a practice test before the exam, and guess what the exam was just the practice test with a different font, at least we all passed
My English prof literally tried to advertise his study abroad trip everyday all day. He would talk about killing foxes, burying rotten shrimp in his back yard, wanting to be a bouncer at a strip club, etc. Had two essays and one test for the entire class. He gave us all the info for the test and let us write about basically whatever we wanted to for the essays.
I had a guitar teacher in high school who absolutely hated the class and it was apparent the only reason he was teaching the class was because the school made him.
He handed us a packet first day and said this is your course work for the semester.
Aside from the first like 15 minutes of the class, which was just going over the stuff in the packet we were supposed to be on, he didn't teach us.
I put in as much effort as he did teaching and naturally failed the class.
The first semester of college, took an English class. First two months was literally all about politics. Teacher tried to make us speak our views. Finally when we started doing essays, he wanted a specific structure that requires run on sentences. If you did not have the structure in the essay, it was an automatic D. Later on the year, he actually yelled at a poor student who asked a simple question. I guess he didn’t know the answer or conflicted with his political views and basically told him to shut up. Anyways, the class had 40 students in the beginning. When nearing the last 2 months, we had 6 students including me. He liked me because I followed his stupid ass structure and did all my work. The final was in class essay. Wrote a lot and found out he didnt even read it and gave me an automatic A. I mean, at least I got an A in the class but didnt learn anything
Our teacher made us use our real names for Kahoot
I mean how much more do you need to drop out
I just ask if I can add a space then my initials after my picked name and they let me do it
my math teacher made us put our full names and he would use kahoots as a quiz. keeping the scores and using our names so he could grade us.
I know right? Totally defeats the purpose.
Same
nah worse is you cant even choose your name cause its just a preview in a support class
I had a chem 101 teacher hit on underage girls and offer to buy them alcohol and drugs. He would show up in pajamas to a 1:30 pm class and ask what the syllabus, that he wrote, said we would be learning that day. He nearly lit a kid on fire. He was probably hung over. When we reported him for inappropriate conduct, he failed the entire class. The highest grade was a 12%. Prior to reporting him, the same person had a 98.9%. Complete waste of a PhD
"He nearly lit a kid on fire."
I want to hear this story lol
It was during Lab and we were testing out Bunsen burners and he told the kid to turn the gas up to the max and then light it, and the kids head was right next to the burner and Prof lit it without warning the kid it made quite a fireball. Swear the kid jumped backward about 12 feet.
Ah fuck it means he has tenure if he wasn't just fired after the reporting. Yeah that's a "drop out immediately" sign.
We reported him near the end of the semester. He had tenure and then was investigated by the college. Lost tenure pretty quick for sexually harassing minors. He was fired after that. We had a sub for the last 2 weeks of class. But as his final stunt, he locked the sub out of the grade book so all our "failing" grades were locked in and the sub couldn't change them.
The worst part is I still had to pay to retake the class.
Last year in Politics I was looking down at my desk. I don’t know if I was writing notes or what but I hear my Professor say “sorry am I not interesting enough for u to pay attention?” And since I wasn’t zoned out and felt that he was talking to me I look up and say “oh no I heard you :) ” Very politely. But He continues to pace the class and extremely sarcastically say “well maybe one day you’ll be interested in these discussions.” I raised my voice and was like “but I heard you >:0” I never talk back and it was very out of character for me but damn.. He tried to embarrass me in front of the class and well it didn’t work hah. Turns out every single student didn’t like him. I almost felt bad that everyone talked bad about him but at the same time, NOT REALLY
Spoken like the clueless, arrogant, entrenched bigot that he was. Not a word of this surprises me.
"Red flags from teachers that screamed drop the class immediately"
Teacher: You should drop the class and change your major
I guess he's not wrong
Teacher here. Halfway through one course, I was moved to a different class and a new teacher parachuted in to replace me. After one lesson, my old class complained to me that the new teacher wasn't teaching them anything.
Turns out, she'd spend each lesson talking at the class for two hours, never bothering to check they understood, and keeping meticulous notes about what she _thought_ she'd taught. And she told everyone all the time that she was the only properly trained teacher in the school. I asked her a question, and she made a formal complaint against me.
Next day, she was fired. All of her students had gone to the boss, refusing to be taught by her.
At the end of the course, the students filled out an assessment form. All the assessments started "Amanda is shit", "Amanda is a terrible teacher", "I hate Amanda".

But I spoke to friends who teach in state-run schools, and it seems teachers who can keep beautiful records but can't teach to save their lives, are fairly common.
Stefan Travis Thank you for your response. Yes I ask because both my parents are teachers (Australia) and it's ridiculous how many teachers don't care for children's education. In all honesty I had one teacher say "Oh I can sit here all day and I'll still get a paycheck". OTHER teachers are really good and they can make or break a student. Also they make it very difficult for teachers to just do what they are best at which is: teach.

teacher once marked me absent even though I was in class and when I asked her why she marked me absent she said it was because I was late...
I was in class before she was
I was marked absent a couple times in high school in one class, to the point I was called to the office and asked why I was never in that class. Needless to say I was very confused, because the teacher never actually called roll so i assumed he was just checking the seats that were empty. Apparently he just forgot I was in his classroom until the lesson started and I started answering questions, but by that point attendance had already been submitted.
should have punched her, you have a solid alibi
Happened to me twice and security backed me and I went to the principal to get it fixed.
This has happened to me too
Back in school teachers would write down negatives if you misbehaved, this one teacher hated my classmates guts and she once wrote down a negative on him for interrupting the class when he was absent

The best prof I had actually gave us his Skype handle, if we needed help outside of class. I only used it once and only via chat, but he answered immediately clearing up what confused me, not only helping me understand, but also allowing me to carry on with other chapters. It probably only took 5 seconds out of his life, but it meant the world to me.
that´s a guy who actually values his job and his students
The real mvp
I love that
autarchprinceps Reminds me of a prof I had that gave out his home phone number to us, I never needed to use it, but I had a friend in the class that needed to speak to him immediately after school hours (some kind of family emergency had happened and she was going to miss the midterm, which was the next day) and he answered the phone and they sorted out the issue in 5 min
it really is such a help. our uni has a video chat system - like skype but for classrooms - and we can set up a time and day for the teacher to talk with you if you’re unable to in class. i don’t think many people used it though bc the teachers just give out their phone numbers anyway lol
We had a high school chemistry teacher that had the most worrying first lesson ever.
She went around the lab and explained about the safety devices - how they work and when to use them. The thing is, for every single one of the safety devices she provided an example from her experience as a teacher. I was extra cautious knowing that in this very class someone had dangerous acid enter their eye, a girl's sweatshirt caught on fire, someone had shards of glass cutting them and more.
Well if I was her, I’d probably do the same. It’s a scare but probably not as scary as one of those incidents happening and people not knowing what to do(!)
Honestly, those people probably weren't following the proper safety protocol, hence why she used them as examples.
Tbh they probably didn't happen and she just made them up. Which is more likely to stick in your head and scare you away from not following safety, an explanation of what *could* happen and what to do if it does, or examples of it *actually* happening and how they fixed it (even if it didn't actually happen.)
Thats actually good, if you tell a student: "dont mess with these cause youll injure yourself' they wont remember it as well as "this person now has only one eye because he played with the acid in class"

Absolutely. Plus they've started fucking with our education system, so they're gonna be stupid as well.

My teacher was a narcissist and you could easily distract him by asking about himself. I was the only one who hated him because of his ego. One day, he decided to stop teaching in the middle of a lesson to ask everyone what they liked about him. When it came to my turn, I told him “I don’t like you,” and just left it like that.
No, everyone did not clap. My table mates laughed because they didn’t really like him either and the rest of the class and the teacher moved on.
Edit: thanks for the r/‘s but it’s truly did happen. It’s fine if you don’t believe me and post me for karma or whatever because you weren’t there and I guess it doesn’t sound believable. It was 2 years ago in my Exploring Careers class. He wanted to be a coach for the school but he was required to teach a class, so he chose exploring careers. Of course, always has to be coaches that are stuck up. Anyway, his response was: “well that’s fine if you don’t like me,” and then he moved on to ask the next person. It was an underwhelming response and didn’t include it in my original post. Every time we’d be going to class, he’d hold out his hand and make you shake it or else you weren’t allowed in the class. I would just give him a fist bump because he wouldn’t let me in unless I touched him in some form. Regardless, it was a miserable year for me and my table group didn’t really like him that much and we spent most of the time talking to one another.
I had a narc teacher too. First finance lecture was 2 hours long. He spent the first hour talking about the importance of calling him 'Dr' X because it showed respect to his title and talking about himself (seriously, who gives a fk). He also plugged his book. He also said people with Accounting majors were inferior and people with Finance majors were superior. He only ever showed up to the first lecture and the rest were pre-recorded lectures on a screen. His admin assistant would press play after we were all seated. All of his lectures were step by step instructions on actual questions on the final exam (not even same question with difference figures - literally the same figures too). I never opened the textbook I paid $300 for since all I had to do was memorise the answers to his questions. Everyone got A's. He dared call himself a 'teacher'. LOL

Well, I hope it was. The same happened to me, only I díd understand the assignment and was told to stay.
And I couldn't drop the class and I reported him and my principal told me to stop wearing glittery shirts with pretty pictures on them, because that'd attract attention.
I was 12, he was 65 (somehow that's the age where all teachers go mental, he wasn't the last one to flip) and I've gone back to chat with the principal, but she denied everything. Police is now involved, since the man lives nearby and started stalking me.

Last year we were 40 students on X class, I knew the teacher, I knew that teached the material and her tests were very demanding, but when she teached X class, she said "this class is hard to understand", and we were like "cool, no problem", she then proceeds to assign a 3 part proyect, that required the first part to build the second part and so on, everything was fine, except when the conditions were said:
-part 1 has to be done in 1 week, part 2 has to be done 2 weeks after part 1, part 3 has to be done one week after part 2
(that semester had some classes that were very heavy on the projects, but I still think it can be done)
-the 3 parted proyect is not the final proyect
(she wanted another proyect after we finished the massive one, and it was going to be massive as well, and only 2 weeks in total to do it)
-you cant use libraries
(if you know coding, then you know this is a nono, its litterally reinventing the wheel and programing everything from zero, its such a pain in the ass)
-it has to have a graphic interface (the class didnt had a lot of experience programing things with GUI, but we still think it was doable), but she also said it had to blink or change colors and shit
ENTER THE DATE WHEN WE HAVE TO DELIVER THE FIRST PART
most of the classroom has not finished it, mostly because of the logic of the program but we really just needed more time, no one was even worried about the blinking/changing colors part
I saw one of the students, who had the complete logic of the program, get rejected when he showed his project and the teacher said: "if it doesnt blink or change color, I will not accept it", later that day all the class was like "fml, so even if you get all the logic crap right, but you dont do the fancy blink stuff, you get a 0?" (if she rejects it its a 0)
the teacher gave us one more week, needless to say, nobody had the fancy unneccesary stuff, she didnt accept the project, we all hated her at that point
I had the first part of the project done after 3 weeks of working, without the unneccesary stuff, instead of the 1 she wanted, but knowing that she wasnt even going to accept it, I dropped the class, and then most of my classmates dropped (INCLUDING THE BEST STUDENT OF THE CLASS), only 12 remained
IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING:
-we all understood the class, the logic, and that stuff, it was just complicated to program something like that without libraries
-she didnt show us a single example of code, and all the classes were focused on working the logic in paper (wich didnt really help on the programing part)
-she said she could do that project in 3 days (one weekend) with only one partner (we were groups of 3)
HAPPY ENDING:
-the 12 remaining people passed, because the higher ups noticed the massive drop by students, and basically told her to chill down the class (now the project was required only till the second part and the other stuff became an investigation)
-the classmates who dropped and me, took the class in vacations and managed to get a pretty cool teacher, she makes sure we all understand the logic of the stuff, provides sample codes, lets us use the libraries and even some other tools to code! and individually grades us by asking to explain our codes little by little, wich we gladly do, needless to say, we could do the 3 part proyect (wich was now just normal homework, and in the end would be the final proyect) in less than 4 WEEKS, AND WE EVEN MADE THE PROGRAMS WITH GUI (basically: graphic), so my other teacher can rot in hell.
What language?
Because GUI without Libraries is hell in a lot of languages.
Except if you can recreate the libraries by finding the source code online so you just have to copy it.

Professors should not be able to make students use a self published book.
You would think that would be illegal as they're forcing profit. It's basically extortion, "buy this book, which essentially is giving me money in the end, or you fail."
Although, to be fair, sometimes teachers will go out of their way to write a book that IS beneficial for the class - as in, it actually has more information explained better than the third-party required textbook.
Ok, maybe USE was the wrong choice of word. BUY would fit a little better.
@Crystal Kanashii I'm in an urban planning class and the professor chose a dummies book as a required text a week before classes started. It was cheap and easy to obtain. He also chose it because the language was clear and less technical. It was nice because most of us in the class aren't urban planning or geography majors. We are taking it because it's an honors course.

Mr. ANGAD, Have you been turning invisible again, young man??
One time I had a teacher in elementary school and when she took attendance you had to say "Present, Mrs. [her name]" or else she'd mark you absent. People said "Here" and were marked absent.
I had a teacher who would do that, because “if I was too scared to speak up then I wasn’t able to learn in his class”

My French teacher has done this multiple times and seems to be doing it on purpose to get me in trouble.

Another reason I'm so sure of that is because she was suspended last year after telling a student who had apologized after his phone rang in-class "Yeah, you Muslims never do anything on purpose, even when you're killing people"
My art teacher in high school “weeded out the weak” by dedicating the first two weeks of the class to art history. We were expected to copy EVERYTHING on the slide, memorize each piece’s name, artist and date with no spelling mistakes. We also had to know painting styles, historical or biblical references if the piece had any and various other stuff like that. The test was a good part of our grade, too.
Overall my art teacher took 0 shit or excuses, wasn’t afraid to call out your shit, and would call your art shit if he felt it was shit and you weren’t trying.
But he was also super passionate about art, he made learning about it fun, and he had a sense of humour. Skill level didn’t actually mean anything to him, he just wanted you to try your best, and love art as much as he did.
A lot of students hated him, but I absolutely loved him. By far my favourite teacher in high school.

My freshman (high school) English teacher legitimately did not know that Shakespeare was British and told us that he grew up in the United States, in Maine. I'm still confused as to how she thought that.
THIS ISN'T THE FORST TIME HEARD THAT... sorry I attended school in oregon and I was told the same thing. It boggled my mind that a liberal arts teacher could be so dense. I changed my major after that to mechanics and steel working. Best move ever.
I thought Shakespeare was Italia... I just read an article that says he's actually Italian but moved. It's obvious since his writing has a lot of Italian in it. Anyhow, that teacher is trippy... How even did they reach that conclusion??

My best teacher: a philosophy teacher in high school who was super enthusiastic, she made all the class love philosophy, we were really worried if she was absent and she always gave helpful feedback and advices on our exams paper.
My worst teacher: an old college teacher who would always use 1/2 of the time of the class to criticise my "generation of lazy and entitled youngsters", ask us to buy the 50€ book that he wrote if we wanted more "enlightenment", no one ever had good grades with him because the exams were basically russian roulette with him...
So usually, when professors say "too many students got A's last semester so i had to change the syllabus", they usually have the school administration up their ass. Not sure why, but that's usually the case.
My uni had that code unfortunately. However, the professor who told me about it didn’t care and still gave out As lol.
I had a teacher like that. Two absences and the best grade you could get was a C, assuming you got an A on everything. This one girl showed up in crutches and a cast a week later. She got in a car accident, brought all proof. Best she could get was a C. She dropped the class. He was a great teacher but that’s honestly an asshole thing to do in my opinion.
That's also against any campus rules the teachers have. That girl could have gotten him fired for that
I always wondered about the people saying they only showed up for tests and passed. Every class I had, if you had more than a certain amount of absences outlined in the syllabus, the teacher would drop you. Or if they couldn't mark you down a grade for being absent, they just marked you down for class participation (which usually counted for 80% of the course) and you would still fail.
@Undefined Lastname I think Intro classes are more relaxed because 90% of the students take it as a filler or it is part of the required GE. But the higher ups in my experience, maybe it is just the English/Lit classes, are more strict. Even my cool relaxed teachers enforced the attendance policy.
But I agree, my reasoning is, I am paying over $1k for this class so my attendance should be my own issue and my pass/fail rate is my own issue. The teacher gets paid whether I am in regular attendance or not. And other than interesting personal stories, teachers always teach what is in the textbooks or powerpoints that they post online. Worse case, you just miss out on something that could be extra credit or layouts of the finals/study guides that are exactly like the tests.
@@Ghostfriend7100 You deal with the consequences of your choices. Skip class for fun and a C is what you get.
@Undefined Lastname
In my experiance most of the classes other than math and science, you can do from home or as an online format. I don't understand the need for attendance every class. But in my state both Community and University, if you missed more than like 4 classes, without proper notation, your grade suffered and if you missed half the semester you were dropped or given an incomplete. So I don't know how people can ghost all semester but still be allowed to take 3 or 4 exams.
This is why rate your professor is a god send. Avoid the crazy and get the good ones.
i hate when teachers say stuff like "this class is really hard" or "a lot of you will fail or drop out." like congrats, you're bad at your job
I've had plenty of bad teacher experiences but one that I always regret would be in 2012. In class, the Olympic torch was to pass by that day where the college was. About 5 min walk away. I asked about leaving early to see it. (about 1 1/2 hrs to day over out of 6 hrs. Said I could come back after.) She said no and if I leave she'd mark me as absent for the whole day. I had a 100% attendance at the time and didn't want to ruin that. Hell I had come in the day after one of my cats died to keep it there.
Wish I had left though, as it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I doubt I'll ever get the chance to see it in person again.
It's just a spectacle. You missed nothing.
Being on time to class is important and all, but when I’m older I’m never going to tell my grandkids the story of my perfect attendance in a college course. I’d much rather tell them the story of the time I saw the Olympic torch pass by.

Had a micro-economics class some 33 years ago. Mid-term I felt good. Got a 27 (out of 100). Thought I was f*cked. Nope it was a B+ - as the prof graded on a curve and admitted he had put stuff on the test we had not covered yet.
Tbh school is just my second bedroom, I don't learn I just sleep
Is that common in America?
I’ve only seen two people fall asleep in lesson I’m all my 13 years of school, my English/drama teacher (who was amazing) said “if he’s fallen asleep then he must need it.” So she let him sleep for 20 minutes until he woke up, then didn’t mention it out of respect.

Signed up for classes for this fall. One of my professors had multiple assignments due on the very first weekend and required the first chapter of the textbook to already be read. Alright, not too bad, but then I learned he was going to put a 30-60 SECOND TIME LIMIT PER EXAM QUESTION on exams. I have anxiety. As soon as I noticed another prof open, I dropped that class like a hot potato. New prof was joking about illegal PDFs, had a vid of Snoop Dogg telling us to read our syllabus, and was playing chill music when I joined the Zoom. Yeah, I made the right choice.
I once had a teacher that at the beginning of the semester stood up and said, " I find it interesting that the moment a test comes around everybody's grandparents starts dropping like flies. So from now on a dead grandparent is no excuse to miss a test."
Guess what happened by my second test in that class?

I had an anti-vax substitute teacher. she was basically an old lady who just wanted to talk rather than teach. she got onto the topic of her family somehow, and she says the her nephew was 'completely normal' until he had a vaccine that turned him autistic.

Rose C, you're the one who isn't making sense.
(College) when your teacher refuses to work with your accommodations, even though both you and the Accessibility/Disabilities Center have informed them that you need your accommodations to succeed in the class. If they refuse your accommodations (which they have to abide by legally), then drop the class and report them immediately. Chances are you aren’t the only student who’s accommodations aren’t being met by that teacher.
I forgot to mention this lol.

When your teacher requires you to work in a notebook even when you have an IEP because "we glue things in."
Literally injured my hand.
a friend of mine wrote an essay that took up a fairly notable part of her grade. her professor gave it a c, purely because ‘not everyone can get an a’. he basically just… picked a random essay… and gave it a c. my friend later consulted a different professor (at the same school) about it; the prof she went to legit said it was one of the best student essays he had ever seen. to be fair, she did go to a bad university
my biology teacher just went around the room saying "i have enough degrees to raise your temperature" and "i dont reinvent the wheel"
too bad it was in high school and I couldn't drop the class,,, she didn't put my missed work in her bin and said it was my fault that my "classmates stole it"
she also just played youtube videos for like 25 minutes and the class wold be done. one quiz she gave us, no joke, the highest grade was a 22.5
update: today we were learning about phylogenies and stuff like that and no joke this woman (WHO HAS A MASTERS IN BIOLOGY AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON HER PHD) thought it was specie and not species... wtf???
For me I once had a child psychology class in a summer semester. The professor said that we had to study a child from the age of 2 to 7 years old. During summer...when standard schools were out. He said if you don't know any people with kids in that age group that it sucks for you because the assignment was around half the class and without it you auto failed. Supposedly nearly the entire class dropped it. I sure as hell did lol.
Uh, couldn't you guys just fake it? Create an imaginary child and "study" it this way? XD
@@j.j.juggernaut9709
Most likely not. It's chill phycology, so you would need an actual child. So probably not. And if you did that it would technically be cheating, and you would probably get suspended or kicked from that class.
@@monsoonsilk yeees but only if you got found out ;)
@@j.j.juggernaut9709
Which would most likely happen. Cheating on that big of an assignment would almost be impossible. I should know because I tried something similar and got suspended from my alternative middle school for a month and a half. Not college, but still pretty serious.
J.J.Juggernaut Good luck pulling that off without getting caught and expelled for cheating!
My big horror stories are :
a college math teacher who never once looked at the class, just stood up at the board, scribbled examples, and read from the textbook in a monotone voice that put me to sleep on an energy drink high... Instant drop.
Also had this Spanish guy who was teaching Japanese... I was already fluent after a couple of years studying abroad in Japan, so i took the course for an easy credit. By the midway mark through the semester, he had ME teaching the class, while he did random shit on his computer. For fucks sake man...I took this course for an easy credit... don't make me do YOUR job!
Teach me Japanese I want to teach English in Japan 😂 JK, that sucks. In middle school for math I was really good and understood concepts easily so after a while of being the best in the class I started teaching the class for him, since somehow my classmates couldn't understand his methods. The teacher wasn't a bad guy so I didn't mind. If I was paying for Al class though, that would be a different story. 😔🤦
@@gaybacond2367 My high school math was completley self tought or from people around me who were also self tought or payed for math help...

Just curious, how does Japanese work? I hear that the sentences are broken into pieces that need to be put together but I don't see how that would work.
@@ramendude4062 A basic sentence still follows usual rules, although Japanese uses subject-object-verb, where-as something like English uses subject-verb-object.
Japanese DOES have several quirks to learning it though. Three different scripts, and multiple ways to manipulate each script (such as combining 2 related characters into a single character to create a new word) will often leave you going 'Huh? How is this pronounced?'
This is probably what you're talking about 'breaking down' sentences or words.
There's alot you don't (and really can't) learn about the language just sitting in a classroom.
Boy, you guys bring back memories! I’m 67 and when I had algebra in junior high - 8th grade I think - we had a non-teacher who was more of an intimidator than anything else. He was a tall hulk of an individual with a buzz cut and a heavily pock marked face, and he used to shamble into class and mutter “Next chapter” and then walk out & leave us to teach ourselves until he showed up about an hour later. Thank God we were a well behaved class. And we all passed because none of us made a fuss.
Well, here’s the punchline. I have a sibling a great deal younger than I, say 15 years, and whaddaya know? This “teacher” was still there and got my sib’s class. Now it just so happened that Parent Teacher Conference Day came around and Mom was in the hospital. So guess who went to the Conferences - Yours Truly! It must have been the first time ever that there was a “Parent” who could answer with authority when he called my sib a rotten kid and a lousy student. You have no idea the pleasure it gave me to say:
To continue (ahem) To be able to tell that SOB: oh no you don’t mister. I know you don’t remember me, but I sure as hell remember you & I know how you operate. And you sure aren’t fit to call anyone a lousy student if you’ve never taught them
Had a pre-calculus instructor that would fill 2 1/2 boards with a chain of calculations, while reciting what he was writing, then stop, stroke his beard, then say "no, that's not right," erase the boards and start over. Heard rumors that he smoked frequently, sometimes with students. Learned an important lesson: Math and Marijuana don't mix.
I have taught college classes. I do NOT understand the professors/teachers who think only a few students should get A's in their classes. If the students don't understand what you're teaching, the problem is with you and you need to do a better job teaching.
Though to be fair, I have had one or two classes that, as a whole, were just a bit more dim than the usual baseline.
From a friend of mine, some teachers will not give everyone an A, regardless of their actual percentage grade. The bottom x% (I think she told me it was something like 15%? 20%?) automatically fail, and it sounded like that translated to B & C students failing out when she was taking that class. And it wasn't even a do or die field, it was some kind of Literature or English class.
I'm rather convinced that it's a scam of some sort, but I don't know enough about how the system works to see if there's ways to game it like that.
Yeah, that's called Gaussian grading, or grading on a curve, and is illegal in many places.
@@jeremyjean13 You mean like how Comcast & Time Warner working together is illegal as all hell, yet they still do it because the fines are less than the profits made?
@@TheAttacker732 idk we don't have these companies, here
@@jeremyjean13 Huh. I thought their infamy was known the world over.
Anyways, they've been caught splitting customers so that they only have one or the other. Without the competition, they're able to charge sometimes over $300/month for internet access. Hell, last year my family was paying ~$80/month for 4mbps since only one ISP had line on our road.
Now, that's illegal as all hell, but violating the law and paying the fines is cheaper than giving up their >90% profit margins.
Kinda feel like it should be against the rules for professors to force the students to use textbooks that the professors write.
I had a professor that gave a couple copies of a textbook he revised to the library so that students who either couldn't or didn't want to buy the book could just use the ones in the library to complete the review worksheets. The few times he used the book in class, he put pages up on the projector, but otherwise he would reference pages to the book but covered it in a way that you didn't absolutely *have* to have the book on you (except for doing the review sheets, which was always on your own time). He was a super cool teacher, and because he was in the hospital for a couple weeks and we got super behind in the classes, he tried to get us as caught up as possible but made the final exam a movie and wordsearch.
It is in my country, like there are textbooks which everyone has to use for the certain subject from an outside publishing company so everyone has the same requirements for the final exam
@@elodie.silver547 you are probably thinking of high school/middle school where there is generally an analogous curriculum within a certain country or state. Professors (=/ teachers) are in university, where the syllabus is different from institution to institution.
@@helloitsmewhydoihavetofill9317 No, like I said, not in my country :D also in the universities every subject has his own book which must be used in general - in that university. Of course it's not the same book in every university but there are regulations
That would be problematic; professors may have legitimate reasons to prescribe a textbook they've authored. Generally speaking, however, *owning* the textbook (whether it's authored by the professor or not!) shouldn't be necessary to pass a class!
I took advanced chem, my teacher didn't teach and just gave us the homework and told us to watch videos at home......
On the bright side, he had no back bone so we were able to get extensions on sooooooo many projects
I also constantly had a sub that used to teach minors in juvie. Most badass teacher I ever had. She always gave us candy or some other reward if we did really well or went out of our way to help others. Actually helped teach us to help others.
When I was first starting out taking French in high school (like, super beginner baby French, this was really the first time I'd experienced the language), the usual teacher was out on maternity leave (she was gone for, like, a year) and the school had trouble finding someone to fill in. They found a man who was from the Congo. He spoke eight languages but still wasn't completely fluent in English.
When my classmates and I came in on the first day, he started speaking to us in full French, and we kind of just had to sit there and stare at him until he got the idea. Don't get me wrong, he was an incredibly nice man, and I actually ended up doing really well in the class. But a lot of the other students probably should have dropped, because the language barrier was really hard to get past sometimes.
He didn't always understand us, either, and a few of them just stopped trying to use French. They'd answer his questions in English, usually incorrectly, and try to indicate to him that they didn't know what was going on, but he didn't always notice. Everyone would get frustrated and confused (except the teacher, who I swear was the king of optimists.) I loved his class, but he tended to be a little oblivious sometimes, because he didn't understand us very well.
As the semester went on, he finally started to catch on that one of the girls in my class wasn't really trying, as she kept answering in English and ignoring his lectures to text on her phone. Once when she was insisting on ignoring his request to answer the question in French, he sighed and said, "Please, just say anything in French."
The girl put down her phone and said, "I la hate this la class."
And the poor man smiled and clapped. "Ah. 'La classe.' Very good."
0:30 I agree. EVERY TIME I hear some shit like this, I drop the class. My mother had a professor like this in college and she tells me to avoid those types like the plague.
My Ethics prof. last semester was like this. No matter how high the grade he would not give you an A for the class. My final grade was a 97.6 and I got a B+
So true they will give you the highest mark without actually giving you the highest mark
XxxlilmizzzxxX - Unfortunately there are managers like that in the workplace. They say they have a personal philosophy which prevents them from acknowledging anyone who excels. It's messed up!
First lesson with my chemistry teacher: "First thing you will have to accept is that god doesn't exist."
Oof, as an atheist, I’m cool with that.
@@lennoxpenguin8369 You shouldn't be. How would you feel if the same teacher came saying "First thing you will have to accept is that God exists!".
That kind of selfish attitude bites you in the ass later on when the table turns.
A chemistry class is not the place to discuss religion or God.
Hasan Bugra Arslan It’s also a bit ironic since a lot of world famous scientists are actually religious...lol
@Kristy Sedlakova EXACTLY my former chemistry teacher (which was no Doctor unlike this guy and I still find her to be much smarter) she studied both chemistry and religion because she found the parallels interesting and I find that a pretty interesting way to look at it. I simply hate it when teachers are such extremists for THEIR lessons; like CHEMISTRY is the only thing on earth ~ and I really am no christian but I still don't like his way of trying to make us anti-religious
Skydrathik Yeah, like this is a chemistry lesson, no need to put religion into this.
I have this one teacher who CONSTANTLY talks about things like religion, politics etc. for like 30min. And we sit there like Uh aren’t we supposed to have math? And if you dare to question her reasoning...well be prepared to get dumbfounded and roasted by her, not in a like jokingly way or something, just kind of humiliated in front of your class cause you have a different opinion or don’t understand something.
Yeah I'm currently in a class with the "2 absences and you fail" policy, on top of "if you're even 5 minutes late you're considered abscent". It's a required course for my major and it get snapped up quickly because it is the ONLY class offered because there's only one professor that teaches it. Also, a friend and I decided to drop a class at the exact same moment when we look at each other after being asked for the 5th time by a professor of basic IT if we liked "fast computers", and then being forced to verbally respond "yes" before the professor would move on.
One of my eighth grade teachers made fun of me because I was supposed to read my essay in front of the class (about twenty five kids in the class and only three had to present their essay.) I was really scared and started stuttering a lot. She literally went “y-you should s-s-speak up louder.”
My French teacher gave me panic attacks almost daily, but no matter how many times I told the school about it they didn't care and just thought I didn't like the teacher.
I skipped her lessons a few times but not that much, the principal retired and we got a new one, I told her and the teacher got fired because at least 6 people from her classes were complaining of mental abuse from her in lessons. My new teacher is crazy, but in a better way
Glad you're having a better teacher :)
What did the teacher do? You didn't give any examples we over here on the UA-camzc comments have no frame of reference
I have only ever complained about 1 teacher in my 15 years of schooling and that was when this teacher was screaming but laughing/smirking at the same time at this student who didn't even do anything wrong, then didn't like me because in the music class she tried to get me up to dance, firstly I don't dance and secondly we had a drama and dance class where you took that class to dance and do drama not in the music class, she left and we got our previous teacher back who was ten times better than she was but he then left to move back to australia to get married to his fiance where they were both born but came to the uk for work, I told my English teacher what she was doing in the class and I didn't think it was right he told me that out of 16 people who took the class that 11 of us complained to either him or this other teacher (my history teacher) the 5 people who didn't complain where part of the school band and got special treatment from this teacher so wouldn't say anything bad about her whether she was a bad teacher or not, think it made the teacher realise that if I complained about a teacher then the teacher mustn't be doing her job properly.
@Kira Malfoy
I had a teacher like that once at age 22, who had a creepy thing for that kindof stuff.
He said half of us would fail and work at McDonalds, no matter how hard we'd learn.
One person burst into tears and I was already feeling quite nauseous to begin with, so I got up to use the bathroom and to go vomit.
He refused to open the (locked) doors for me, even when I reminded him that locking emergency-doors is against the law, and demanded to hear why I needed to use the bathroom.
I admitted I needed to vomit and he started asking questions about what I'd eaten and whether it was going to happen soon, or I was just going there to prevent throwing up on my desk.
I stood there gagging and eventually, the _other students_ had to convince him to *let me go.*
And to think most of those students hated me in the first place...
Either way, I went to the bathroom, vomited my guts out, laid down on the floor feeling numb and nearly passed out, when another teacher came in and called the "First-Aid-teacher."
Three times hurray, that was him.
He came in, brought the entire class with him, started cracking jokes about my vomit in the sink and told me that I had to clean it up. He got angry and said; 'We're not going to clean your waste, you'll vomit in the toilet from now on!'
I couldn't even properly hear what he said, but as soon as I started gagging again, he shoved me near the toilet and said; 'Vomit in the toilet!'
As soon as I was finished vomiting in front of my laughing classroom, he 'took my pulse' and since it was so weak, he tried to comically convince me that I was dead.
I wasn't even "awake", I was dizzy, I couldn't hear, I couldn't speak, but he kept saying; 'You're dead, you have no heartbeat.'
And would encourage the rest to laugh at me if I asked him what he meant.
Then, he cracked jokes about me having used drugs or alcohol, claiming that I'd been weird from the start of the day and after I'd gotten up from the floor and stood up (dizzy and nauseous) I grabbed his arm to lean on. He 'yanked' his arm back from me and shouted; 'Stop being a dramaqueen! You can walk by yourself!!!' and then left the room.
He later appareantely used me as an example as someone that was defineately not going to make it, for being too weak.
I díd almost finish the education though, untill another teacher decided it'd be bad for their image if someone with ADHD got a diploma there. So they pulled some strings and long story short, the people judging my grades were given (fake) reasons nót to let me pass.
And when the 'jury' found out they'd been lied to and got upset and angry, it was too late and I'd already been kicked from the inturnship and the school. 2 weeks before the graduation-day, so it was a last-minute action.
Either way, joke's on him, he's an old and bitter man and I've gotten my diploma elsewhere. And still managed to get an entire schoolyear of ('extra') education, before they kicked me out.
Oh PLEASE. My algebra 2 teacher knew the guy sitting behind me was putting gum in my hair for the fun of it and not only never did anything, but thought it was hilarious. Kinda hard to learn under those conditions. You millennials have no idea what hard times are about.
*the bell doesn’t dismiss u, i dismiss you.*
Almost always to tell our class we were failures.
Our school doesn't ring the bell when the lesson ends so teachers forget that the lesson ends and we sit there for longer
