Hey Pandas, What Was The Rudest Or Most Absurd Thing That A Teacher Or Educator Has Done Or Said To You?

Oooohhhh
I had a history teacher in middle school I couldn't stand. The dude put me on edge from day one and I never liked him. I was one of the few. This being said, he took note of it pretty quickly despite my attempts to keep it under wraps. And I became his favorite target for getting after students.
Multiple kids forgot their homework? Im the only one called out.
When it was clear no one knew the answer to a question? Hed tell me to answer it.
He made me absolutely miserable to the point I started skipping his classes whenever I could get away with it. He was the only teacher I did this with.
I came to class one day, and we were told we were going to watch a video and answer questions on a work sheet as we went and to NOT fall asleep or he'd be stopping the video and making us research the questions instead. (Kids often fell asleep during his oh so interesting educational history documentaries)
Video starts, and I start taking note and writing answers. At some point, AS IM WRITING THE ANSWER he calls me out for sleeping in his class. And I'm trying to argue against it, because I wasn't and I didn't want him turning the whole class against me for something I didn't do.
I told him I was fully caught up on the sheet and he could see for himself. My neighbor even defended me. He got after BOTH of us for talking back and told me I could either admit to it or I could go to the office.
So I went to the office. From what I understand he ended up not stopping the video but then took my worksheet half completed and marked it as failed for not being finished.
Next time I came to class I asked to speak with him after. I wanted to try and be mature about the whole thing in the hopes he would let me do the research and finish the sheet.
When I tried to talk to him about it he shut me down and scolded me for I don't even remember what. So I snapped and asked him why it was always me he chose to pick on
He told me he wasn't picking on me. He was "training me for the real world and teaching growth"
Um I'm sorry but f*cking what? No sir. No. You picked on me. There was no character building or any such bullsh*t. You are a LIAR!!

But you know what? I have a theory on it now. I think he wanted it public that I didn't like him. I think he wanted as many people as possible to be under the impression that I hated him enough to talk c**p about him and make things up.

WHY do I think this?

Because three months ago, I see him on the news. Arrested for being a pedofile.

THATS RIGHT EVERYONE!! MISTER CREEPY AS F*CK TURNED OUT TO BE AN ACTUAL CREEP!!

And WHO else might have figured this out than the only girl in school who didn't like him from day one? Who would he have been completely unable to stop from blowing the whistle had she found out? Me. That's who. Because you can bet your a** that had I known, I would have been sharing that info so fast it would have made your head spin.

And because I really don't give a d*mn who hears his name from this point on...

My sincerest, and deepest f*ck yous, to the worst history teacher ever.
Mr. Griffin, I hope you rot.

I am a teacher and we had a school nurse that should’ve lost her nursing license. I had a Kinder baby that came to me from his first class after lunch. He was holding his left arm against his chest with his right hand, babying it. I asked him what was wrong. He said his arm hurt. My para explained that in the morning, before school started, he had been standing near the basketball court and was hit with a ball. He had been sent to the nurse. She sent him to class, because… despite the fact that he couldn’t move his left arm… there was no swelling, so he was fine. He clearly was NOT fine! A five year old who spends 4 hours babying his arm is NOT fine! I sent him back to the nurse, who called me irate, because I was “wasting her time.” I called his mother. The nurse’s office was off the main office, so when his mother arrived to pick him up early, the nurse called me to yell at me again, for overstepping, because if she felt like he was really injured… she’d have had his mother come get him. Turns out, he had a broken clavicle. His mother was IRATE! She returned and yelled at the nurse and the principal… they had let her son stay at school, in pain, for hours! She actually thanked me for catching the problem.

***Trigger warning: cancer story***
Another time, I had one of my Kinder babies suddenly not able to recall some letters and sounds I knew that she had already learned well. That was super concerning. The next day, I noticed the right side of her face seemed immobile… like she was having a stroke. Her eyelid was droopy and the right side of her mouth wasn’t moving when she talked. Immediately, I sent her to the nurse. The nurse called me and said the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, “I’ve evaluated her and I’m sending her back to class, because I think she’s doing it on purpose to get out of working.” Seriously?!!! How do you purposefully make your eyelid droop? Again, I called home and spoke to the girl’s mother, who had also noticed the issue. Apparently, it was intermittent. She had already taken her to her pediatrician, who said they should monitor the situation. I mentioned the forgetting of previously learned material, which the mom hadn’t noticed. She also decided to pick her up and immediately take her back to the doctor. Again, the nurse called and yelled at me for “overstepping.” The little girl was absent from school the next two days. I called home to check on her. Their pediatrician sent them to the ER to have a brain MRI done. They discovered a very aggressive brain tumor. I couldn’t help myself. I called up our nurse and told her, “Turns out she WASN’T moving half her face TO GET OUT OF WORKING… turns out she has an actual brain tumor.” She told me, “Oh. Well, there’s no way I could’ve known that.” :/

My Kinder baby managed to live almost another two years, but she passed away before her 7th birthday. I still miss seeing her cute, smiling face.

During the pandemic, that nurse left our school to work somewhere where she received more hours. Hopefully, there are competent doctors making diagnosis… and not her!

My Gym Teacher actually smacked me in the face because I refused to participate in class one day! I had a horribly jammed finger, and it was black and blue and super painful. We were supposed to play basketball that day, and he didn’t care that I had a Doctor’s note saying I couldn’t play sports. He kept insisting, and I just said “No, and you can’t make me.” He smacked me across the face, and told me not to “Get smart” with him. I went straight to the Guidance Counselor, and called my Mom crying.
He ended up being forced to retire at the end of the year. I did reports on various sports from the library for my Gym grade. I never had Gym class again.

Our school matron told my parents that I will never become anything on my own. Well guess who working for a highly reputable organization that pays way above the average. The last time I heard about her she got pregnant and dropped out college. I honestly feel bad about her.

I found out the art teacher who used to give me special attention ( like rubbing my shoulders or giving me gifts) was a pedo. He always made the girls in class uncomfortable...so sadly it wasnt surprising

Time for a story of my own,

I was in my last period, which was math, and we had a substitute that was a little...off. The first 10 minutes of class were okay, we were given our worksheet, and everyone was doing their work and chatting with friends, then all of a sudden the sub starts yelling, and we all sat there like deer in headlights. Maybe we were a little too loud, but when someone started to giggle he ran up to him and yelled "STOP LAUGHING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HAPPY!" And he then proceeded to yell at us about how "we shouldn't be happy teens" "we should be depressed" and "we should be wanting to K*LL ourselves". Then has the nerve to tell a kid to k*ll herself. Finally, our science teacher, who was next door, pops in and asked us if we were okay. We lied and said we were fine since we didn't know what this guy would do, she noticed and asked the sub to step out and talk with her, and the other teachers walked out of their class to check on us. Later that night we all got a phone call from the principal. She apologized for the behavior of the sub, who she KNEW.

Note: we were all 7th graders

My first two years of high school I was part of the gifted program and our classes were separate from all the other students. The very first day I walked into homeroom and the teacher took one look at me and said "You must be in the wrong place." Apparently I didn't look "intelligent enough" to be there. Must have been the blonde hair and lack of glasses.

I had a sub in elementary school who was french but she wasn't a nice french lady. She was strict and a lot of people didn't like her. I remember in 3rd grade she was subbing for us and we were in the middle of working on something. I had no idea what time it was and the clock in the classroom didn't work. I opened my chromebook to check what time it was and she slammed it closed and said "No playing games on you chromebook!!!" Everyone was shocked because I was one of those kids who never got in trouble. Anyways she left a note for my teacher and when he read it they next day he was confused. I explained what happend and the rest of the class agreed we didn't want that sub to come back and she didn't.

I had two instructors tell me I would "never be a nurse"...

(1) a medical terminology instructor once told me i would "never be a nurse" because I forgot ONE assignment (out of seemingly hundreds of homework assignments) out in my car. I was getting 99% in the class at the time 🙄

(2) One of my clinical instructors thought I was too cautious and "slow." "You just aren't meant to be a nurse," she had said.

Joke's on them though. I've be a neuro / med-surg nurse for 7 years now... and I'm really f*****g good at what I do 😁

„You don‘t have to know how accounting works! You‘re gonna get married and be a housewive anyways!“ - a was able to change classes but this idiot is still a teacher (there where many incidents like this)

College down south in North Carolina. Dean Hanson (the person who is supposed to help students with their adjustment to college) must have been told by campus security that I had pitched a tent between two wings of the college. Security was a guy who rode around in his golf cart. He knew I was there but hadn’t said anything. She came to throw me out. I had no car, no money, lived 5 states away, and nowhere to stay. (It was the two weeks between regular school and summer school - which I would be going to. No students were allowed to stay in the dorms during these two weeks.) I tried to explain my situation to her. She just kept saying (in her extremely southern accent) that I could not stay there - repeating the same sentences over and over. She didn’t care that I had nowhere to go. She did not offer any suggestions. Just said she would call the cops if I didn’t get off campus. Stupidest thing an adult has ever said to me - over and over and over again. I left. Walked for hours before I finally went to an instructor’s house that I knew of near the college. I begged for them to let me stay. They did. After good old Dean Hanson I was just overwhelmed to find somebody decent that didn’t even know me.

once I tripped over and hurt my ear on the side of the table, my teacher looked and said something like "it's only a scratch get up and finish your work"

I had ripped my ear in half.

totally torn apart, I got like seven stitches and an now left with a great big scar across my ear where it happened. never forgiven her.

So my friends and I were discussing something about how it’s odd that girls can join Boy Scouts but boys can’t join Girl Scouts. The sub (our teacher was out sick that day) walked up to us and went on a rant that trans people shouldn’t play sports and that it would be unfair to everyone if trans people played sports. That wasn’t ever related to our conversation and half of the people who were discussing the original topic are not cisgender.

Not sure if this really fits here but when I was 10 or something I fell behind in school. Everybody thought I was dumb as a rock so I had to get extra lessons.

This teacher would yell at me if I spelled a word wrong or if I forgot something. Made me very anxious and made me cry. Yelled at me 'if you dont stop crying I will have to tell your parents'... and then said 'practise every word you see written on stores, in the bus or on signs on your way home so YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!'

I got so scared that even to this day (25 years later) I still panic when I realise I forgot to spell out every word I see. It's like 'f***, I didnt spell out the words today when I was out. Omg, teacher will be so angry' and then a minutter later after the panic sets in I realise im 35 years old and no can tell me what to do!!!

my gym teacher called me a ‘fat little girl’

mind you this guy wasn’t the skinniest person on earth.

During my computer management course, we where asked to program a calculator in Turbo Pascal ( yes i'm ancient ) some how i f****d it and my calculator instead of reseting to 0 it reseted to 1, since i'm a lazy f**k, instead of going back and correcting my error i just added another line. My teacher das it, and he new that program would have exactly 49 lines, mine had 50, só he asked me why was that, and i told him, he looks at me and goes " i really don't know if you're a genius or a blithering idiot.... "

Once in primary school, in my class we had the world’s worst substitute teacher and she was a real b***h and she threatened to call all of our parents and that was probably why she didn’t like kids much. I was one kid who didn’t get on her bad side, because she was frustrated with dealing with some bratty kids and I was a well behaved kid who followed the rules and she saw that I was a good kid but man I hated her and I still do. F*****g b***h. Pardon my French. And another story is that I got a paper cut underneath my fingernail and I was crying because it hurt even though my class was writing a test and the teacher told me to shut up. I was just confused and mildly pissed.

One of my teachers said that I had the concentration levels of a garden pea....she wasn't wrong though...

my class had a big project to work on and we had a sub. he wanted to tell us all about all the jobs he has done before in his life because our project was on economy. no one had time to listen because we needed to get our assignments done (he’d already said we could work). and so because we weren’t listening he screamed at us “you’re all losers and not a single one of you is going to make it anywhere in life.” he is still a sub at my school

My second grade teacher told my parents I was a dunce at math. Well, Mrs. Meadows, guess who has a degree in electrical engineering?
