<p>He degraded all the female students in his class on a dialy basis. </p>
<p>I'm Indian and he always used to call me Pakistani.. on purpose, okay it doesn't sound that bad, but it was. </p>
<p>He was always degrading India, saying how everyone is poor, and there's barely ever any full-time electricity and water supply. </p>
<p>On my birthday he gave me 2 batteries on my desk and told me that I could now supply enough electricity for my country. </p>
<p>He harrassed my every single day. 7th hour. </p>
<p>My brother was taking the same class, except in 5th hour. And we never really competed, he ended up with a higher percentage, but we both got As. </p>
<p>He told me that, I could try and try but I'd always be a few steps behind my brother. </p>
<p>My ap calc teacher didnt even know calc...these three girls would correct her and she'd say they were right. So when the stuff in the book was conflicting with what she wrote on the board I took my work to a fellow math teacher. He was like "who wrote these...cuz I didnt" and im like "wait...waddya mean YOU didnt?" and he goes on to tell me that she doesnt know calculus...he writes her lesson plans and answers to give to us. At this point I was like..**** this, and goofed off the rest of the year. AP scores come out in July...one kid passed the AP test, a self study. Like 8 people had over 100% in that class, and she swore theyd get 5's....no one except the self study got above a 2.</p>
<p>Bica, I'm an Iowan myself. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?</p>
<p>Worst teacher ever: Intro to Programming teacher.</p>
<p>Our class had about 10 or 11 people in it. Three were better programmers than our teacher BY FAR, and one was close.</p>
<p>She had mood swings EVERY DAY, every second. I would be talking with a friend, but she would only yell at me. It was mainly because I defended another student she picked on often and I was a decent programmer who rarely asked questions. The friend who never got picked on constantly asked questions, and she liked mothering him.</p>
<p>She was constantly stuck on her views in sticking with a certain programming language that does absolutely nothing useful. We programmed with TI-91s also, which is something most people will never do in their lives. In HTML, she had a big argument with one of our better programmers about the program we used to help us with the HTML. In the end, she found out that the student was right.</p>
<p>yeah me too...that's very very racist. that being said, i'm very sensitive. repeated 7-11 jokes and reminders that i'm asian/indian **** me off a lot.</p>
<p>I've already posted this, but :
One of my old teachers would throw books at me and break rulers on my desk. I was always called on, whether or not I raised my hand and he always acted as if it were my fault. For example, if I got something wrong, she would be like "this class knows nothing, let's review AGAIN". </p>
<p>OP, your teacher was an *******. If you get someone like that again, report it.</p>
<p>my AP US history teacher was an uber conservative and a borderline racist...don't get me wrong, being conservative is fine, but this was different. he made fun of everyone who wasn't a republican (mostly high profile democratic politicians), and passed out lots of Ann Coulter articles in class. he skimmed over such light topics as the civil war and the civil rights movement. he would say degrading things about muslims all the time (i go to an all catholic school, so no one called him on it, which makes this even worse) </p>
<p>the other thing, he also teaches AP european history. i have never met a history teacher who hates europe the way he hates europe.
he hates the british, french and italians and emphasizes OFTEN how the US is simply a superior nation to any european country.</p>
<p>my physics professor moved to the US from Iran 23 years ago and still sucks at english. thats a story in itself. i got a B in that class. if you cant speak english with out an accent, dont speak.</p>
<p>my 9th grade maths teacher got my final exam with this other girl's. So on my report card, it said that I got 23% when I got 97%. And so I questioned him and he said that he'll change it. So I gave him my report card so he can take it up to the admins and he lost it. So now I dont have my 9th grade report card. It's not stored in the school computers either haha.</p>
<p>"On my birthday he gave me 2 batteries on my desk and told me that I could now supply enough electricity for my country. "</p>
<p>He gave you an excuse to call him a jackass, you should've taken it. I've had some horrible teachers but never one that bad. I'm Indian, and if a teacher made comments like that to me I would jump at the excuse to talk back.</p>
<p>Didn't know how to pronounce "enthalpy" let alone describe it. Didn't know how to do net ionic equations (isn't that a must for AP Chem?!)</p>
<p>Shows up late to school everyday, about 5 times this year didn't even show up first period without calling a sub so the first period class just left school....</p>
<p>Talks about how he doesn't get enough sleep when his fiancee from montana sleeps over (EEW!) </p>
<p>and here's a picture of him with something awfully weird written on the board</p>
<p>oh yah, and our class started out with 19 kids first semester and by second semester it was down to 6 because everyone else dropped out... and even after we only had 6 kids in our class he still couldn't remember our names... thinks 1 point out of 1 counts as extra credit</p>
<p>and he didn't cover the half of the material (electrochemistry, net ionics, thermochemistry) and told us to "WING IT" on the AP exam</p>
<p>Dang. That's a crappy AP Chem teacher. Mine was pretty bad too, but she was a really nice and interesting lady, so I don't like saying bad things about her. -_-;</p>
put a sock in it. having an accent doesn't make you incomprehensible. some of my best teachers have been foreigners with accents. moreover, you can't just lose an accent with practice; it's with you forever.</p>
<p>Bio teacher sophomore year. She was a new teacher, and knew nothing about teaching. We swore that she was on drugs or something (seriously). She would walk around school barefoot, and then wouldn't remember where her shoes were. There were a number of times when she would just start crying in the middle of class, saying that she can't take this when we didn't even do anything to her (honest!). She did not dress as teacher should dress, either. We did not learn anything at all the first semester, and we were like three chapters behind the other bio classes. There are so many stories that I could tell about her. We got a new teacher at the beginning of the second semester, and that first day with him we learned more than we did in the first semester lol.</p>
<p>Business Systems and Technology (aka. i would've never taken it if it weren't required)
Mr. Perez</p>
<p>Never knew what he was talking about. Would argue about everything we would say. Had horrible spelling and his tests full of grammatical errors (we once counted 52 errors on 20 question test). I still say I didn't learn a single thing.</p>
<p>He lied about being married and brought his "wife" over during lunch once. We could've sworn she was a prostitute, lol. </p>
<p>I guess my teachers haven't been that bad..Some have just been quite inadequate.</p>
<p>bica-I have a solution for you. If you ever have that teacher again, sneak a voice recorder (a digital one or an ipod with a mic attached is optimal) into class and record everything he says. Then the minute he says something insulting to you, or chauvinistic, or whatever, take it to the school board. If they refuse to respond, get journalists involved. The board will HAVE to respond.</p>
<p>When you talk to your local newspaper (the bigger the better-if you can get like the biggest newspaper in your area to cover, then great) accuse the teacher SPECIFICALLY of sexual harassment (since you're female and he's male.) and they'll be all over it. You should hold the information given to journalists as a threat to the school board. If the board doesn't respond (the board probably will-when you involve journalists, everyone acts faster) threaten to give the reporters the ok to publish an article about it. Keep threatening until they fire the teacher. That kind of sexist ******* has no place teaching in a school and getting paid with your (and my) tax money.</p>
