Stupid comments teachers have made to you or a loved one.

Once, in a note home to my parents, my fifth grades teacher wrote "...he needs to write more legibly."

Except the ironic part is, she misspelled "legibly" three times and had to cross it out thrice before getting it right. Heh.

My first grade teacher yelled at me loud enough for the whole class to hear. "You're a ret*d!"

i was called 'space cadet' by a teacher for a year, but I didn't really mind or comprehend what it meant... I guess because I was a space cadet

i had a math teacher in high school who's class was pretty much unbearable. he forced you to buy a $100 graphing calculator then wouldn't let you use it for the test, the middle of his lecture was about new technology like DVD or MP3 (much like how an old man rants about these new fangled gadgets the kids are using) and then he'd yell at us for being unable to do the work well (no s**t you didn't teach it well). when i decided to graduate early i dropped out of his class first thing and took up study hall. when i did he gave me "the speech", which i'm sure some of you have heard from a math teacher before (they have a real 'tude their subject, don't they?).

"well if you don't pass high school math you won't be able to take college math then you won't be able to get into a good college then you won't get a good job and you'll end up sucking dicks for crack behind the Jiffy Lube". (he didn't say that last part but that was the tone).

i haven't taken a math class since and since i'm able to type this to you people i must have access to a computer so i can't be doing too bad.

i have a few that're art school specific but i like to think they're so offensive or ret*d the context doesn't take much explaining.

i had this one figure drawing teacher who would passive aggressively grade down or criticize majors in the design department (the group i belonged to). in the last class i had her in (and trust me it'll be the last) she had this one project about "Spirituality" so we had to make a piece reflecting our spiritual beliefs. this is something i'm really uncomfortable with because my spiritual beliefs are very personal and i don't like to talk about them with anyone.

but i do my piece and it gets a D+. on the grade sheet she wrote "drawn good, but didn't feel like there was an entry point for the viewer"...of course there isn't! these are MY personal beliefs! what else do you expect?

she also openly belittled this other girl's project. this girl did a piece about her belief in Sekhmet, the Egyptian cat god. a lesser know diety yes but i don't think it's any less valid. teacher goes "so tell us about this funny little cat god you have here" in front of the whole class.

i think we all wanted to slap her.

Teachers in my day thought I would not amount to much, yet I do go to a University now.

I guess I showed them.

My high school english teacher was constantly giving me D's and F's. If she didn't say the work was substandard, she'd say I plaigarized it. It wasn't long before I stopped doing any work for her - after all, why should I try? But I'm about to graduate college for the second time with a 4.0 GPA/QPA in all my classes, so she obviously had no clue what she was doing when grading my papers

A personal favorite that I got from a 4th grade teacher to my mother

"He's slow" (Which my 7th grade science teacher thought as well)

Slow?! !! I graduated from college (from an engineering school with a degree in electrical engineering and now trying to get in medical school) so I think said teacher had no freaking clue what she was talking about. So I was different then the other kids, hell that doesn't make me slow.

In the third grade, my teacher made us write papers on subjects of our choosing. After writing a rough draft, we were supposed to go over with a red pen and correct our errors, then bring the paper over for her to see. Well one time I found no errors so I just brought the paper over, and she yelled at me, so I brought the paper back to my desk and added some fake errors and re-worded some things that could have been left alone.

In fourth grade, I didn't like being put into the "gifted" program, and I had conflicts with the teachers. One time in a math class the teacher (a slow-talker) was instructing us on how to do an assignment. I knew how to do it so I just started. After a few minutes she said "Would you like to work on this alone?" I, thinking she was being sincere and asking the class, said "Yes." Then she said "If you're not going to cooperate then why don't you go to the back table?" Way to encourage individual thought.

When my sixth grade English teacher was trying to discourage us from watching a PG movie as a reward in school, she said "PG means 'parental guidance' and we aren't your parents."

In seventh grade before the day started and after it ended, we would go on this message board we made on the computer in the back of the room, and our homeroom teacher would tell us to "stop playing the games!" He yelled about a lot of stuff, actually.

Throughout middle school, at the end of each quarter, we would have to select some past work and write an essay in reflection of that work and how it stood out. In eighth grade my English teacher asked the class, during one of these sessions, what we thought of the reflections and how useful we thought they were. Well, all of us presented some well thought-out arguments about why we thought it was useless, and then he scorned us for "trying to avoid working", said he was "very disappointed", and told us to silently work on the reflections for the rest of class. I never wrote any of those reflections again.

In ninth grade, I had a big pair of headphones that I'd wear around my neck when I wasn't using them. They had wires that plugged into the earpieces themselves which I removed during classes so the teachers wouldn't think I was listening. Well my science teacher wasn't convinced enough, and told me that I could just plug them back in when she wasn't looking. It would have taken me about thirty seconds to plug the wires back in, a minute to get out a music player, another half minute to start it up and by then she would have probably turned around. Nope. Not convincing enough. "School rules."

Everything my history teacher has said this year was total bollocks.

"When you get to secondary school, you'll be nothing, You wont be able to make it because you're stupid and you dont listen. I doubt you'll even make it throught the 1st year there without being kicked out".

My year 6 teacher. Nice.

Look whos wrong now.

this isn't a teacher, but one of my ex-friends after I explained what Aspergers is. "so, you're a ret*d?"

teacher - "why don't you tell the class about Aspergers. It's Autism, right?"
me - "no, Aspergers is on the Autism Spectrum, but it's not Autism."
teacher - "so what is it?"
me - "Hans Asperger, the first one to diagnose the syndrome, described Aspies as having 'a dash of Autism,' but not Autism itself. the two are different."
teacher - "oh, okay. i guess you do learn a new thing every day."
me(thinking) - "well no crap. who are you, sherlock holmes?"

>>"What are some things you've heard that pissed you off?"

Professor kept telling me I was supposed to "focus" on my work with him, while he was, as a separate matter, trying to prey on me sexually and while his skanky mistress he was having an affair with was jealous of me and harassing and attacking me psychologically.

The teachers at my old school didnt ask me to tell them about aspergers, they just kept it under wraps from everyone else. They didnt tell me that i had aspergers. They knew before i knew, and i didnt get told. Someone would ask me "apparantly you got aspergers, is it true?" the teacher jumped in "HOW RUDE!! Do NOT make comments like that!" Sent My Mum info and stuff about it, didnt send me any. I know its not a comment, its just so aggrivating.

Some pervert jumped out at me at an anime convention. I was thirteen and he was like forty. It was scary. Then I ran to my L-crossplaying friend.

Note to Self: While attending Anime Addics Con, carry pepper spray and knives under Soul Reaper uniform.

IS that the dude you mentioned in your sig? Post me a picture so I can write him off for you (need full name and face for it to work.) Actually I really don't have a functional Death Note, but people like this make me wish I did.
