- A school is both the educational institution and building designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is sometimes compulsory.[2] In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organizerzation. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional terms section below) but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught is commonly called a university college or university.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.[3] Kindergarten or preschool provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3-5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.
Non-government schools, also known as private schools,[4] may be required when the government does not supply adequate or specific educational needs. Other private schools can also be religious, such as Christian schools, gurukula (Hindu schools), madrasa (Arabic schools), hawzas (Shi'i Muslim schools), yeshivas (Jewish schools), and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults include institutions of corporate training, military education and training and business schools.
Critics of school often accuse the school system of failing to adequately prepare students for their future lives,[5] of encouraging certain temperaments while inhibiting others,[6] of prescribing students exactly what to do, how, when, where and with whom, which would suppress creativity,[7] and of using extrinsic measures such as grades and homework, which would inhibit children's natural curiosity and desire to learn.[8]
In homeschooling and distance education, teaching and learning take place independent from the institution of school or in a virtual school outside a traditional school building, respectively. Schools are organized in several different organizational models, including departmental, small learning communities, academies, integrated, and schools-within-a-school.
A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching.
Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor).
In most countries, formal teaching of students is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach others in a formal education context, such as at a school or other place of initial formal education or training.
Duties and functions
A teacher's role may vary among cultures.
Teachers may provide instruction in literacy and numeracy, craftsmanship or vocational training, the arts, religion, civics, community roles, or life skills.
Formal teaching tasks include preparing lessons according to agreed curricula, giving lessons, and assessing pupil progress.
A teacher's professional duties may extend beyond formal teaching. Outside of the classroom teachers may accompany students on field trips, supervise study halls, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for extracurricular activities. They also have the legal duty to protect students from harm,[3] such as that which may result from bullying,[4] sexual harassment, racism or abuse.[5] In some education systems, teachers may be responsible for student discipline.
#teaching #horrible #stories
It makes me remember the day I stumbled on my school geography teacher 10 years after. He recognized me immediately and started kindly lecturing about how dissipated, unserious and a bit trouble making I was as a student. It made me laugh because of course he was right, but I answered him : « Well, the result is that you still remember me. Can you think now of who the good students were? ». He took a pause to think about it and answered : « No. You’re right, I don’t remember them at all ».
I would love to hear more horror stories from you, Metatron.
Those are true horror stories! I never had any teachers that were that bad. Yes, I would like to here more of your experiences as a teacher.
- She was a vegan...
- Of course she was a vegan
I can imagine these people following you and eventually coming across this video and realizing they're the topic
The horrifying part about the second one is that half of the teachers I had in American College were just like that.
Have a couple mild stories of teachers. One was when I was in college. Great guy, as a person. (He picked up hours where I worked during the summer, and he was fun to work with. However, as a professor...)
Anything he thought about could be on the test. Anything he joked about was on the test. Was a Bible class, and one of the questions was the last verse of the book. Which really didn't have anything to do with the class.
Then, the math teacher at the juvenile detention facility I used to work at. Most of the students were poorly educated, and barely managed on about a primary school level. Her idea of teaching was to hand out the work and say, "You know how to do this." And just collected the work at the end of the period.
She was out one period for an individual program meeting for a student, and I was chosen to sit in the classroom as crowd control. After she'd left a few minutes, no-one had started, and looks of confusion on everyone. Asked, "Do any of you understand what you're supposed to be doing?"
No.
So, I took the example question and went through it step by step.
It was long division, and she'd been "nice" enough to provide everyone multiplication charts. Showed them how to do the math, but still confused, so I showed them how they could work the multiplication chart in reverse to get the answer (like I tend to still do, in my head, 40 years out of secondary school. Just with visual aids. 😁)
20 minutes later, they were done and could enjoy a bit of freedom time. When the teacher returned, she was shocked. First time any of them had gotten their classwork done.
My English teachers from grade 1 to the end of High School only taught the verb "To Be" and some basic vocabulary such as "water", "ice", "bread", et cetera, but everything pronounced as if it were Portuguese. So "water" was pronounced /ˈwatɛħ/, "ice" would be /'isi/, bread would be /ˈbrɛad͡ʒi/. To be was pronounced /t͡ʃu bi/, and a phrase like "my mother is beautiful" would be /mi ˈmɔdɛħ is biˈawt͡ʃifuw/, while some would at least pronounce "my" right. I was lucky to have the internet at the time, or else I wouldn't have learned English at all. I learned how to read English by myself when I was 14, but only learned how to speak properly at 18. All by myself after learning the IPA through sheer force.
Same with our French here. We did a bit of grammar and vocab but mostly games and never learned how to speak, pronounce, or have a basic conversation. 😢
Dang, that's bad. But cool that you learned IPA and then English from that on your own.
The greatest horror story for me was when I realized that the thing students hate the most is studying.
thats mostly the blaq kids
@@Blox117 😬either a really bad joke or I'll advise on the fact you still have time to wipe this off the internet lmao
I love studying but as soon as someone tells me to study, it's a nope. I want to study out of my own free will.
I taught middle school for a couple of years--language arts--and my greatest horror story was when I asked my students if they could have their hand smashed by a sledgehammer, but it would mean they never had to read again, how many would want that? Almost every student's hand went up. So sad. So many kids hate to read. That's why I laugh at fights over books in school. People should be grateful if kids are reading anything.
I usually had pretty good teachers; my senior (high school) English teacher (English literature class really ) was a true gem and I remember her fondly. Much of my exposure to classic English literature was due to that diminutive lady. The history teacher in that school, however........ well how productive is it to make fun of and taunt your students? She won awards for being history teacher of the year. No one asked me. I still love history no thanks to her.
Come on Raff, give us some more of these! I'm a teacher myself and it was interesting to hear all this. Haven't had any standout bad experiences yet myself, but again, I've only been teaching for 2 years.
37 years of international teaching. I've seen a lot. For me, the most tragic are those teachers afflicted with alcoholism. Teaching is stressful. You are basically "On Stage" 4 to 6 hours a day and your off hours are spent in preparation and other supervisory duties and still expected to represent the school in your not at school time. Some people don't handle that well and I've seen some descend into alcoholism. These are horror stories, but tragic also.
The true horror is the abject apathy and indifference of modern youths, glued to their phones and thinking that's the real world.
I envy your students. I would love to have you as a teacher, specially during my teenage years :D
In Portugal we also tend to always ask ppl if they want some of what you're having. It's probably a southern Europe thing.
I will definitely dig a series on these stories xD
Me too!
I'd pay to hear you ranting for an hour about anything really. You've got quite an ability to make the most weird of stories sound fascinating. I'd be pleased to listen to more of these.
Love ya brother.
I sort of admire the kind of person who can get wasted and show up to work the next day still half drunk. Even when I was young, dumb and prone to getting occasionally shitfaced, I saved that for the weekend because there's no way I'd be able to do anything but call in sick and not leave my bed.
It takes a rare combination of discipline and lack thereof to pull that off.
Rare indeed, since that guy wasn't managing it at all - getting a coworker to cover for his need to vomit.
He went to work, went to vomit, then went back to work..how white do you have to be to understand that he did manage himself pretty well, regardless of the morality.
@@korstmahler How white do you have to be to not understand what the the manage means? He managed it very well. He went to teach, went to vomit, the back to teaching etc. and he also got someone to cover from him, the DEFINITION of managing. You are 100% a white person.
Now I realize I had an amazing teachers throughout my study years from elementary to the university :-))) Even some professors who were admittedly occasionally a bit drunk were a great teachers :-)
Fun topic. It reminds me of all the YTers who started in Japan as teachers and stayed as content creators and it's a rare gem when they talk about their early years. Or sometimes you'll catch a conversation between graduate students who teach.
Do have to say, having been a TEFL teacher in Poland many years ago now, the experience with the teacher turning up every morning with a huge hangover (or even possibly drugged up) doesn’t surprise me at all…I witnessed and heard of a few cases of similar-ish things happen…
Looking back at the TEFL world now, teaching English as a Foreign Language is a really rewarding experience, but it does also attract a “spoilt, Rich kid” element, of people in their early 20’s who are only doing it just to Party abroad every night, and do a bit of travelling, and have little interest in actually teaching, and regularly phone up their Rich parents back in the UK to send a few thousand pounds to them every week or so to fund their lifestyle…
Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely very dedicated, excellent teachers in the TEFL world, but there most definitely is a spoilt rich kid element as well…
That is one of the “What they don’t tell you” about the world of TEFL teaching abroad, the “Spoilt, Rich kid” element of teachers…
Though the story of the other teacher who did little more than put on an English language film every lesson…wow…that is BAD!…REALLY BAD!!!
I have an experience as a student. There was this calculus class, where the teacher routine was: entering the class, turn the back on us without saying a word, write the black board full of the same text as written in the text book. Then he would turn his body to us, and literally "READ" what he has written in the blackboard. Then he asked "Did you understand?" -"No". He would turn back to the black board, and read it all over again...
Had a 8th grade spanish teacher who three sheets to wind pretty much every class.. gin blossoms , glassy eyes and slurring .
I would love to have you as my teacher
Despite the diversity of focus in and around languages on this channel, I really enjoy the ride
For a moment, I was confused that he bragged about his classroom being assigned "RAF". I didn't know that this is also the abbreviation of "Royal Air Force". Instead, I only knew another... German organization with these three letters...
Raph you are a great storyteller 😂 I would love to hear more stories. This is like the dark side of teachers that’s usually never talked about
Please do more of these! I absolutely love this idea
While teaching overseas I noticed that about half the foreign teachers were completely dysfunctional. They couldn't get/keep a job at home so they ran away to other countries.
I did attend a high school with an ex football player as the Principle. He had the habit of tolerating any misbehavior by the senior football team until the season was over. Then he would expel them at the drop of a hat. On one occasion he did have a bit of a wrestling match in his office when one of the bigger players took offense at the change in his disposition.
These are fun listen, would be cool to hear more of them.
I would LOVE to hear more!!
I'd definitely enjoy hearing some more stories like this. It was a lot of fun
Love to hear more!
This is great, plz tell more!
Definitely more please.
I love your content please dont stop uploading
This was amazing. thankyou! I would love to hear more.
Hello and thanks for sharing your stories! Pls tell how you dealt with unruly or rude students.
Yeah, I think we're gonna want more of these stories.
The one horror story, as a teacher, that I have, is that, I was once asked to take over the duties of a high school Englsih teacher, and they dropped me in the classes without even telling me WHAT I should be teaching at each level. That's when I decided I'd never be a teacher, period. and I took a job for which I was grossly overqualified rather than teach under university level, for which I wasn't qualified.
Really fun stories (now that you're looking back... living them must've been quite unpleasant), would love to hear more of these.
This is funnier than stand up! Thanks for cracking me up. That ain't easy. Please do account more stories of the murky educational swamps you've sunken in
I don't want to hear more of these stories, I NEED it! 🤣🤣🤣 Quanto avrei voluto averti come insegnante, sei un idolo!!
My math teachers in high school were just really lazy& so I hated math (I had a good one in college & actually ended up liking calculus & wishing I was better at algebra). My chem teachers throughout college were horrible though. They just breezed through examples & told us chapter sections to read.
But as for truly bad/strange, my highschool spanish 2 teacher was a rlly young, white hippie woman who at times talked about her boyfriend to the class (which no one really wanted to hear about) & once cried for reasons I forget (it might have had something to do with the boyfriend). It was really awkward.
As a former teacher myself, I found these stories quite familiar! I suppose every teacher has a few.
I teach the Welsh language to adults now, and I don't have any horror stories from this job. Hopefully it will stay that way!
The weirdest thing that happened at my school was one Monday, an English class came into their room and had directions written on the board. There was no teacher. There was no substitute. Someone informed the principal, who, from what I remember, taught the class until the sub he called arrived. The regular teacher wasn't there that week. Or the next week. To my knowledge, nobody ever saw her again, and her classes had a long-term sub for a couple months until they hired a new teacher. Weird.
definitely want more stories
EFL - the only profession that I know of where the entry barrier is so low that every manner of loser/waster/psycho can easily get a job. Holding that job down, though, is a different matter...
Very relaxing! Hearing other people's horror stories is relaxing, like watching people work on a construction site is restful. ;-)
First story reminds me of my family who were not teachers but couldn’t handle their liquor but despite that they would drink themselves into alcoholism. I’m the kind of guy who believes that if you drink for the sake of getting drunk you need help.
I had a teacher once, not language related, he was an algebra teacher in college, and his understanding of teaching was blabbering on incoherently (he was very bad at talking somehow, even though he was native?) about the lesson while writing hieroglyphs on the table (not even kidding, his A looked like an N and an R and an M at the same time) and when it came to solving problems and such, he always said they were either too simple to explain, or to difficult for us to understand anyway, so the entire semester we were essentially taught nothing, we were sort of forced to buy his book by him so we could study on our own, and then at the exam he was somehow surprised people were barely passing his class?
Genius.
Yes, please more.
You're an excellent storyteller! Seldom have I heard someone make an everyday life horror story so engaging and amusing! I don't understand how people can be so unprofessional and unethical.
I'd love to hear more
What a nightmare! I guess we can always look back at these things, and laugh. But at the time, of course, you'd probably feel despair. I would, I know! Gawd help the poor bloody students with those teachers, eh? Whenever you're ready & time allows, I'd be fascinated to hear some more of those tales Raff. I'd better not dare tell you some of mine.....
Teachers that were really good and really bad stick out like a sore thumb in my memory.
I remember our class always being excited about going into the computer lab back in the early 2000s since our school wasn't the most technologically advanced place you'll ever be in. Most of the other teachers we had on computer classes before were either good or just doing their job, which for the most part we all enjoyed learning a thing or two about the early versions of windows, and stuff like that. The subject always excited me, especially when it came to learning how things work, how you can make art and designs digitally and so on.
But then there was one teacher who pretty much played favourites, either you can't do no wrong, or she'll hate you 'till the end of time. The thing was, I was part of a group of students she hated, the weird and rowdy boys who would run around and play during recess. I'll admit, I ain't a squeaky clean student, 'was part of that group after all. However, once the class starts, we just listened and did our work. Discipline was strictly enforced when teachers would roam around checking classes.
Turns out, the thing outside of our class influenced her view on us and she just kept swearing and getting angry for no reason at all, applying her rules inconsistently. If you're on the nice list, you get away with many things, including playing games on the school PCs, something she hated. But when you're on the naughty list, opening so much as the paint program even when you're all done with your task is a death sentence. Failing marks on quizzes, punishments come after that. Blamed myself for not being disciplined enough and even when the evidence was crystal clear, I just denied it. This made me hate the computer/tech subjects for some time, at least while she handled the subject. Barely passed it and it took me years after she left until I started appreciating those subjects yet again.
On the flip side, I always saw myself as someone who just understood English, but wasn't good at it. Hell I couldn't type like this back in those days. I was below average at worst, and above average at best. But when a really great English teacher started teaching our class, everything started to make sense. The class was fun, active, and he was pretty fair overall and even improved the class spirit. Still have ways to go, but I'd like to believe he helped me improve my grammar.
It is interesting to me that you are the guy that i dont know personally, but whose words and stories i believe 100%
Please more if this!
I can relate to your story about the teacher who put on a movie for two hours rather than just teach. I was asked to teach a first year uni class and was happy to. After my first lesson, I had students coming up to me to shake my hand, all excited. Confused, I had to ask why and was told that their previous prof would walk into class, pull out a chair, sit down and begin to read the textbook for the full 45 minutes. Then she would shut the book, stand up, replace the chair and leave. Um. What? Lmao!
OH! I had one of those in freshman political science, he came to the tech center where I worked and had me photocopy the pages he was going to read to the class. I never said anything to him or to the other students, but this bad example has always been in my mind as a teacher/professor. One of the best history and political science teachers I had in the same school, not only was very professional, but she was the daughter of a minister in Czechoslovakia's Beneš Government, and knew European History and taught it very well. Even teachers in Grad school have quirks, sometimes bad ones.
Yes, please, more
Yes we want more!
Nothing like that. Actually kind of funny: Numerical analysis class. Teacher was a brilliant mathematician but kind of a crummy teacher. He'd go wild on the chalk board with the chalk in one hand and eraser in the other. And the punch line: There was no textbook. All the lessons were 100% from class notes.
The mid-term test (50% of the class grade) he made so hard that he made it a "take home" test and encouraged us to work together to figure it out. My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I stayed up till 3:00 AM doing each problem and comparing notes over and over until we got the same answers as each other on all the problems. There were only 2 people with 100% correct answers on that test. And we weren't even math majors. We were only in the class because it was required for the brand new (in 1976) Computer Science minor. (The rest of the class were all math majors. All the other Computer Science minors dropped out by the second week.)
I would love to hear more 😂❤️
This reminds me of my maths teacher who is also from the Nottinghamshire area that got wasted and came into school slightly hungover.
The worst teacher I ever had was a crazy guy who just wrote all the answers on the board for the students to copy. He did this right after handing out the assignment. The man was probably a good person, but he was working overly hard to control some kind of anger issue or something. I didn't learn a thing from that class, and I had to ask to be switched out. My crazy Autism and psychosis, and his personality, were probably going to clash at some point. Best to avoid that. I was 12 at the time, and my autism symptoms were from hell back then. He didn't understand that, and when I threw a book at a bully or one of thier freinds(can't remember) he blew up on me. It's understandable if you don't realize that I have autism and my life was being the target of nonstop bullying back then. Hardly anyone knew what autism was back then.
I had teachers who beat up students (it was quite a common practice up until the early 90s in Eastern Europe), and one tied a classmate of mine (8 years old) to his desk because he was fidgeting too much. As a teacher, I have plenty of horror stories involving students' behaviour, too, so bad I had classes where I dreaded to go in.
Do you have horror tales with students, as well, Metatron?
Could listen to these stories all day lol
I had a drunk teacher who smoked like a chimney to boot. He set fire to a bin from a lit cigarette. Took a schoolbus during school time to go the bottle store, and was so wasted that he drove into the pavement and popped the two wheels on that side of the bus. He was a good teacher though, made Geography an interesting subject.
Sophomore year in highschool my history teacher said right out that he didn't like our class. Don't remember why. It could be why I hated his class on bc history. You are very interesting. I'm learning more here several years later.
More stories, PLEASE
More horror stories, please!
Yes please--send us as many horror stories as you can muster !!!❤😂😮
Speaking of people who get drunk...I've had such unprofessional teachers at Uni. I mean one of them(Lets call him Professor M)-allegedly, I wasn't in contact with him- would actually keep booze in his desk bc his alcocholism was so bad...he'd be under influence while testing people. Then there was this one situation when another teacher(let's call him K) who worked in the seme department(Modern History) as M. So my classmate went to K's Consulting Hours for questioning/test whatever. and they worked for a while but at some point K was called to M's office for something. So he went. My classmate waited for a good while, and finally when the dude didn't show up for over 15 minutes he went to ask if he can just go and if the meeting is over...so he goes to knock on the door to the office. K opens it and the damn room is JUST FILLED with ciggarate smoke. and no, no one was firied for that. These people still work there.
I worked in special education classes for quite a while. I knew some teachers that were a hot mess sometimes they just need a hug lol... but not from me, no touchy lol
I have never had a bad teacher like that in an academic setting. However, had a couple of weird instructor from a more vocational setting.
One was a so called tennis instructor. He set me up on the first day with a a shopping cart full of tennis balls and had me hit them non stop into a wall. Lessons 2 through 7 were the same and he was always absent. After a while, it came to my attention that he was giving a certain female student very "hands on" lessons instead of teaching me 😂
Another was a driving instructor who was always having me slow down so he could shout lude comments to passers-by...yikes.
Only interesting story I have about a teacher, is one that made it to local news. A math teacher browsing lingerie on his notebook, but little did he know that his searches was being broadcast live via the classroom projector, and was captured by a student filming it on their phone.
lol, keep em coming 😂
I didn't encounter horrors like this, so I'll just tell you a bit about teachers I had
It'll probably be a bit hard to read because I have big gaps in my English and this theme is certainly one of the bigger one, so sorry I advance
1. Our school struggled a lot to find teachers and our math teacher just left. Our music teacher reached out to her friend who was a math teacher. She didn't stay for long, but while she was teaching our entire class quickly became terrible at math, including all the a graders, with one exception being me. I was good at math before but with this teacher I started to learn so fast I started to solve problems for a next grade. When she left, our informatics teacher had to double as a math teacher. Entire class's grades sky rocketex. Even "dumb and lazy" kids suddenly became good at math, but again I was an exception. I didn't understand ANYTHING she tried to explain and my only saving grace was that I already studied stuff she covered in advance with the previous teacher. When our school finally found a math teacher our class was begging her to stay as a math teacher instead, but she couldn't do that and only person happy was me. Not for long though since our next math teacher happened to be a bit insane and was thrown out when he angered by one student not understanding the subject started to explain it using his genitals as an example, after which other kids obviously started laughing their asses off. Then this guy proceeded to threaten half of the kids, blurt out some sexist shit to like 14 y.o. girls and offered to wrestle one of the guys.... We were really unlucky with math teachers
2. I wanted to tell a bit about a dumb substitute physics teacher, but there isn't much to tell and last story made me want to share something good instead. Don't know how it works in other places, but where I live first four years in school you have one "main teacher" that teaches a dedicated to them class or two most of the subjects. When we went to the 5th grade I was a bit sad about our old teacher not teaching us anymore and a switch from one teacher for most subjects to a bunch of different new teachers for a bunch of new more complex subjects was a bit jarring, so when our first Russian language lesson started I quickly started to dislike our new Russian language teacher. I thought she was extremely unprofessional and just unpleasant as a person and I wasn't the only one. With time though she really grew on us all and turned out to be a really interesting person , a realist and a really good person in general. She used to help people who struggle in her personal time and when she saw potential in me, she offered me personal lessons and a participation in an influential competition on a Russian language and literature and even private lessons for free so I could prepare better. While she was tutoring me (in her home btw) I became a real friend with her and her son. When we were finishing 9th grade she said that she was going to leave the job after we graduate and open her private tutoring agency or something like that. She moved so we didn't meet often, but last time we met she told me that her plans came true and she was very happy and successful and had many teachers working on her in her agency 😊
We do want to hear more
Growing up in the 80's and 90's in East Europe, I can hardly recall anything positive about teachers or schools.
The best thing was to pass maturity exam (at 18) and not having to study maths, physics etc. as mandatory anymore, I could focus on what I was actually interested in.
I have tons of horror stories about abusive, disrespectful primary school teachers, and the education system that was the framework of institutional abuse. It was the norm back in those days, unfortunately.
There was a famous blogger and influencer (before blogger or influencer was even a word) who printed a teacher's words on T-shirts as a proverb: “School is not a democratic institution.”
damn, i'd love to hear more horror stories
My wife's worst horror story (from teaching in an American classroom) was a kid pulled a fake gun on her but it was one of the fake ones that's supposed to look real so she didn't know at first.
I had a child molester, who was only interested in boys, fortunately for me. Several others were bullies. and a few were downright incompetent. I attended both public and private religious schools, grades 1-12 in the USA.
For whatever reason, in France the night of the week where university students use to party like crazy more than any other day is on Thursdays. So, as a student, I found myself heavily hangovered for the first lesson on a Friday morning, arriving a bit late in the classroom. As I opened the door, I came face to face with the teacher… and he looked as terrible as I did, obviously for the same reason . We looked at each other with a silent agreement : « yeah… let’s take it slow and easy today ». Eventually, we both gave up and fell asleep on our desks.
By the way, prior that, as I was late, I had to go first check at the school’s office in order to get an authorization for getting in late. Not that it happened to me that often, but each time you had to give an explanation for being late. This time, I had it with trying to invent a convoluted plausible story so I just went with the truth and said that I partied too much the night before. The guy signed the authorization immediately, no other question asked.
I needed to get record of achievement file, so i was told by my head of year, see her at lunch time in the staff room, so i do, despite a sign saying dont knock during lunch, however since my head of year see her, and where, the head of Welsh opened the door, got shouted out, and if i wasn't told to do it, i wouldn't.
These horror stories are pretty interesting.
pleasee, bring us more stories
On my case it was not about the lecturers (I was part of university staff), but from my direct boss. He had my gradings on the students changed because "they were paying for their degrees" so I shouldn't be so strict with them.
There is normally more than meets the eye when it comes to human behaviour. For instance, in the first case, consuming alcohol on a regular basis can be an indication that the person is unwell in some way. Not to defend unprofessional behaviour, but it isn't normally black and white
Welp, now I'm on the werewolf side since that is how london people are.
Had another teacher history who had PTSD from war he als had all these nasty skin lumps from being exposed to something in war ...well when he was teaching history when war would come up he would have a episode start sweating hiding behind teh desk eyes wide ..pretty scary
My horror stories: first grade there was an obese teacher who wore a moomoo and she would walk up and down the rows of kids at their desks eating lunches brought from home and this teacher would just stick her gnarly nasty hands and fingers into bags of cookies or chips and snag items to eat while she walked up and down the aisles ... not a please or thank you .. US public schools everett ma
Ah yes, like Ms Hoover in The Simpsons… Teachers like that really exist?
I realize that I was really lucky during my school year, because, except for one suppleant teacher, I never had any bad teacher from Kindergarten to High School.
…
The bad one was our teacher during a few months of first grade (he was replacing our usual teacher), used (violent) corporal punishment on students and had a VERY short temper… I was schooled in the 90’s if you’re wondering so, no, it was NOT normal.
had an amazing mathe teacher a bit odd military style like she would only call students by their last name ... but she was the best teacher I ever had ... she noticed that her students of 30 were not all on the same page math wise . So she gave us a math test when she graded them she made groups ... and she tutored each group for 15 minutes each class . then when she saw she had all teh kids on the same page she broke up the groups and taught the class as a whole ...brilliant . Sadly though one day I was taking a makeup exam after class and I saw my friend's brotehr beetch slap her hard on the face leaving his huge hand rpint on her pale face. I felt so sorry for her and have zero idea why he did that she was giving him extra help after hours . She did not cry but I saw her shocked face ...very sad

There is a high pitch buzzing in the background of the audio. I understand you might not have heard it. Perhaps you could look at applying a high frequency cut-off to your audio in the future? I would much appreciate it.
I just forgot to turn on the mic for this one, so what you are hearing is the camera audio
Had a chemistry teacher in High school ( a terrible teacher by the way ..all he talked about was how well his otehr business was doing). He must have seen how poor I was and working practically FT in high school . He said he wanted to hire me for his company and I would get a company car and a better wage then I was getting working at Medi Mart. he came to my house to speak with my mom when my mom left us alone to fill out the job application he started kissing my neck I was totally appaulled ... He saw my face and ran out . I never told my mom what happened but she was very angry for me NOT taking the job with the free car we had no vehicle in teh house. . I did n ot want to burden her with more drama ...so I never said a thing. Months later I was working my PT job and this young woman came in to try and talk me into taking the job for thsi teacher . I quit High school and got my GED to go to college . He also said in class in front of everyone I had a " nice azz"... yeah way too much drama I am outta of there
My Chemistry teacher tried whole heartedly to get me to fail. I later found out it was because she was pissed that my advisor allowed me and a few others to skip the 5 credit pre-chem prerequisite course. 2/3 of her lectures were drunken bar fight stories. So cringe 😖 but she didnt realize I can learn perfectly well from a textbook. She got the others to drop by ignoring their questions during class and refusing to help them during lab. She even went so far as to take my partner for a big project and assign her as class photographer and gave her an "A" for it. Little did she know I work best independently so all that did was help me. Even her class pet "star student" went around the classroom boasting about his grade on one of the exams. When he got to my desk I moved my binder from on top of my exam that I aced 💯 and he stfu after that. Ended that class with a 4.0 despite her efforts.😂😂
Did you change mics or take down sound deadning? Audio is poor today.
I have had a few teachers that fits. In highschool I had one teacher. she teached us about office work and how to use a typwriter. because that was important when she worked in office. 40 years earlier. we had a computor teacher. in two years the only thing we did was. use the computor as a glorified typwriter. writing stuff in office. in another school I had a theacher. that started dateing one of the student. the student was over twenty so not illigal. but moraly thats anouther thing.
Rafaelo is a beautiful name 😊
