Mrs. Hargrove, chemistry—graded like she hated kids and taught like she hated chemistry.

Had this art professor in college who would literally throw student work in the trash if it didn't meet his "vision" - dude destroyed weeks of work because he thought digital art wasn't "real art". Same guy who wore the same paint-stained shirt every single day and acted like he was some tortured genius when really he just couldn't handle that his students were already better at Photoshop than him

No it was boring and I dropped out in 10th grade. I only went to school maybe 3 days a week and then my parents were being criminally charged for truancy. My grades were fine. So the options were to drop out or stop missing. I did get my GED and go to college. I took it a little more seriously and did graduate with a good degree. Still was boring though.

My 1966 middle school math teacher who insisted that her classes learn the slide rule, constantly preaching, “To have success in life you must master the slide rule!”

Tempted to make a baseball joke here, but actually it's a ruler-like stick with a bunch of numbers on it and a sliding piece you move along it to do mathematical calculations before the calculator was invented. In *Apollo 13,* you will see several people in Mission Control using them to quickly calculate an answer as to whether or not the launch rocket would still have enough power to get them into space when one of the engines fails mid-launch.

My kindergarten teacher, because she was a bully and always picked on me. She would even have the other kids join in.

My math teacher in high school had it out for me because I missed class the week of an end of quarter test sophomore year. I had her junior year and for two weeks of senior year. During senior year, in her pre trigonometry class, she told me that if I stuck around she'd keep me at a "D" no matter what. As soon as I found out that I didn't need her class to get into my degree program in school I dropped out of it.

1. 6th grade math teacher. She would put 2 different math problems on the board every day. If you missed 1 question that's an automatic F. No in-between grades. 2. 6th grade English teacher. Before my  Tonsillectomy. I asked to have a packet of the work I would miss. She never gave me anything. When I returned having missed the assignments. I never received. I was made to copy a every word from the Dictionary. From the beginning. 3. 7th grade band teacher. I practiced the Trumpet. He humiliated me in front of the class. When my performance wasn't up to his standards. I told my parents. After that his personality was a 180*

My chemistry teacher in junior high school. She taught in a way and at a pace that only the smartest kid in the class could understand, and didn't really care about others.

I had one teacher in primary school who intensely disliked me. She was the one and only teacher in my entire academic journey. I think the only reason she passed me was to ensure I didn’t end up her class again. I went from an A student to a D, then back to an A for the rest of my time in school. Including uni.

I'm asian, and corporal punishment was common in the 2000s. I got hit with books, golf clubs, broomsticks, and teachers all used to carry a punishment stick to use when we misbehaved. But the worst teachers were the ones that beat the whole class when one kid did something wrong. It just sucks bc the majority of us didn't do anything, and it creates unnecessary animosity toward that one kid. It essentially promotes bullying in a way.

David Primeaux. A former pedo priest who hid among the faculty at my university. He gaslit and belittled me. Anyhow, he stuck the exhaust hose into the cabin of his car when the grown up kids he molested came looking for him. I gloated more than a little when I found out.

Of the 70 kids in my grade in Catholic school, I think I was the only one who wasn't an alter server. To this day I feel like it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my entire life. One day the cops came to arrest my favorite priest for things he did years ago while working at another parish. With the way sex predators operate, I can all but guaruntee there must have been vulictims at my parish as well. I finally understood the real reason he volunteered to give mass at one of my Boy Scout camping trips (another troubled organization). Speaking of which, I can still remember the adult leadership in Boy Scouts arguing they couldn't let gay men be leaders because they thought they would sexually assault us. Decades later I come to find out it was just that some of the straight adult leadership wanted their prey all to themselves.
