Ok, I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I'll risk it anyways.

Wow, I pity any engineering major who'd have that teacher...

#13 and #14 are just law-droppingly retarded.

24. Said that math is an escape from the real world and those who do math cannot deal with reality.

That's about all I can say to that.

27. Some students lost points on their homework assignment for using logarithms to solve certain problems because she had not taught us that method yet. Other methods, such as guessing, were accepted.

Gah, I've had that happen to me more times than I can remember...

Now that is funny.

Shit like this is why I fucking hated math in grade school.

It's not the math I hated, in fact, I rather like math. It's the fucking teachers I hate.

Dear God, what a scatterbrain...

I've never had a math teacher like that, but I've had plenty of English teachers who were just as retarded. I think this one must have slipped through the cracks and accidentally got placed in a teaching position that matters.

Fucking English teachers...

Oh God... I had one like that, he just wasn't scatterbrained, he just goofed things up and then spent the next half hour talking about why it didn't work or some other random irrelevant BS. Needless to say I am royally fucked in the current math class... While I passed the other one, I have to actually *learn* all the stuff I was supposed to learn in the other class, in this one...

That's frightening...my Stat professor made some of the same errors (trying to show things with his arms), but he was a first-year prof, so I cut him some slack for that. My Calc professor's great, except he tries to make jokes in an 8 AM course (I get them, but they're not funny for another three hours).

I had a math teacher like this. When he wiped off the marker from a tranparency he'd hold up the dirty paper towel and ask if anyone wanted the notes. Before every vaction, he'd say that we've been good so he'd give us however many days the vacation was off. He was always getting everything wrong and saying shit like "just testing you" while the smart people in the class corrected him. He actually told us that he didn't break a 1000 on the SATs and got Cs and Ds in math himself when he was in high school. He just became a math teacher because he made a flower on his graphing calaculator one day and thought it was pretty. He didn't even think that he was bad at explaining things, bad in front of groups, and didn't like kids. He gave this one hot girl with big tits B+'s on her report card even though almost all her tests came back with a C-. He was also a star wars dork in the worst possible way. He spent a considerable amount of cash on various worthless star wars crap (bought bootlegged copies of episodes I and II, various toys he tried to sell me the second I revealed that I also like star wars, etc). He also manages to be obsessed with it while learning nothing about it. He actually thought that the sepratists become the rebel alliance later on. Whenever there was a holiday the next day and he didn't feel like doing anything he'd play connect four with any student that wanted to challenge him and whenever he lost (which was often) he'd blame it on Jedi mind tricks. Then, of course the year I'm no longer in danger of having him as my math teacher he transfers to Edison High School. He was the first teacher I've ever known who was unanimously hated by every student he ever had, which is a serious acmplishment considering I knew people who hated him and no other teacher ever. I could on and on, but let me just say I feel sorry for the kids in Edison who'll forever be turned off from math by him.

You know, this sounds like last year's science teacher, just *slightly* more weird...

Gah, I've had that happen often... It's sad that the teachers don't have enough responsibility to admit when they're wrong.

Btw, do you live in SoCal?

I vehemently hate maths, but if I had a teacher like this I'd be pissing myself laughing too much to care.

Anyway, there will always be teachers ....who just plain suck, can't control the class, and try to be "cool" with the students. I'm glad I probably have only two teachers here in my school atm who sucks instead of 3 or more I usually would get...~Jason

He's in college, this is a retired HS teacher.
I would hate to be at that school.

Grade = 1-12
Further subdivisions include elementary, middle, and high. I had teachers like that off and on (mostly on) for those twelve years.
