<p>I have this one teacher, for Math, and she is a true, state of the art *****.</p>
<p>When students ask for help, she tells them that they're a hopeless idiot and that they can figure it out on their own.</p>
<p>She writes phrases such as "Dope Without Hope" on the top of tests and quizzes that have bad scores.</p>
<p>Yesterday, she said that she has to keep buying red pens because this one girl gets so many wrong on all her tests. She used the girl's name.</p>
<p>Today she sent me to the office because I was standing over a girl's shoulder helping her, but she insisted that I was peering down her shirt. She loudly announced in front of the whole class, "(name), stop peering down (name)'s shirt."</p>
<p>I got assigned 8 hours Community Service, and a parent referral.</p>
<p>This woman is so ****** up and I want to be a hero and save the world by getting her fired. I've heard she has tenure, so is there anything I can do?
Have you ever reported a teacher before? Is the process of getting a teacher fired hard?</p>
<p>yea, i would like do something...serious...seriously</p>
<p>did the girl you were helping try backing u up?? wth??</p>
<p>that teacher is MESSED UP dangggggggggggggg.</p>
<p>I'd make a meeting w/ ppl who want to take action against this teacher and call everyone's parents and then create a letter w/ everyone's signature and like banhammer her.</p>
<p>Wow that sounds pretty bad. I've never had his problem. However, if what you say is true, then I suggest talking to your parents/guardians. You see, if it is a student complaining, the teacher will win because she is after all, an adult. However, if your parents complain then they will be forced to take action do to the fear of them taking it any further.</p>
<p>We wrote a letter to the principal about one of our teachers. She was VERY reasonable compared to yours. All she did was wasting class hour talking about her past stories from her bartending life. Oh and she lost our papers and was extremely slow at grading. But she was a very nice person. Well in the end, she "resigned."</p>
<p>Being accused of peering down her shirt. Then receiving community service for the offense. Wow lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd try to get parents involved. Ask them to speak with people starting at the middle of the chain of command. Threaten to go higher if your demands aren't met. Education is a business, and no one likes to lose business.</p>
<p>But I feel bad for that girl (the one mentioned with the red pen thing). That's pretty humiliating.</p>
<p>Wow, I guess we go to really different schools. At my school, if there is even the slightest problem with a teacher they are immediately reported to the academic dean by not one but usually multiple students. I say go for it, it can't really hurt can it?</p>
<p>I went to the head of the english department and reported this stupid teacher I had, who insisted on giving us no work and made other students correct his tests, which I always found errors in. He retired later on in the year. In his place came a teacher who I can honestly say was the best I've ever gotten, especially in a subject where teachers feel they can just relax and give us books to read w/o an abundant amount of meaningful discussion. </p>
<p>Do what you know is right. Cost it what it may, but make sure that you are not being bitter and that at the end of the day you can lay down knowing you did what you know to be right.</p>
<p>...I do find it a bit odd that the person you were helping didnt come forward to say you were only helping them. And if they did I'm surprised you are still punished.</p>

Since like, Octoberish EVERYONE has been making petitions. No one has the balls to turn one in though.

Lol. I had a massive petition against a teacher in 7th grade, for reasons somewhat similar to yours + she simply couldn't teach, would grade things based on the answers on the first paper she picked up (like, for the test key, she just used that paper.. srsly), taught longitude and latitude backwards (lol), etc, + personal insults and whatnot. Anyway, I didn't get a chance to turn in the petition because someone "told on me" LOL and it was "taken up" BUT that was good enough, the administration saw it, took it into consideration, and fired her the next year after some minor incident. Plus she got pregnant and her husband left her. :</p>
<p>No, I've never reported a teacher, but my physics class was considering turning in our teacher at the beginning of the year before we realized he was just your garden-variety a**hole. </p>
<p>My school's so small that if there's a problem, it gets reported immediately. We were going to go to the academic dean (who had told me in our private meeting when I signed up for that class that (insertphysicsteacher'sname) knew a lot of physics but wasn't good at dealing with teenage girls.)</p>
<p>If that didn't work, we were going to go to the Board of Directors. One of the girls in my class has family on the board (you'd be surprised how common this is), which is all kinds of useful.</p>
<p>We get about one teacher a year "reported"/fired at my school, sometimes fairly but often unfairly.</p>
<p>well, my 8th grade french class collectively complained about a teacher and got her fired, but she rarely showed up for class (and didnt let anyone know so we didnt have a sub most of the time) and didnt fully know english or french. i dont know if we really got her fired or if the administration just realized that she was a terrible teacher.</p>
