Hmm... I must say that my 5th grade reading teacher was the absolute worst. She would basically yell at students who did NOTHING wrong. If you ask for water she would yell, gotta use the bathroom? she would yell? Gotta go to the nurse? suck it up. the absolute worst i?m GLAD she got fired. I bet she affected those kids mentally and emotionally. She most certainly affected me.
What's your worst school experience?

When I was little I used to really enjoy wearing lipstick around the house, so one day I wore it to school. My teacher got mad at me for wearing it, asked for another teacher's opinion who also got mad about it, and they told me to take it off. It wouldn't come off, so they called my mum to come and take me home... I think that's kind of dramatic. It's just lipstick, did I really have to miss a day of school over it? After that was I too paranoid to even eat a popsicle before school in case they mistook the tint on my lips for lipstick.
And when I was a senior in high school, we had an English teacher who was a mother of three little kids, so we would only have her for two days of the week and another teacher for the other three. She would communicate with the second teacher via email, and the second teacher would do work with us that she set. Then when it was her turn to take the class, it's like she just changed her mind about everything she organised for the second teacher?? She told us we did everything wrong, that the other teacher did everything wrong, and then we would have to start all over again, and it was like this every single week for two years. We had so many sub teachers over the course of the two years (they kept quitting), and she seemed to just disagree with every single one of them? It was so confusing to have two different teachers who never agreed with each other, and constantly having to change our work to suit one or the other. It always seemed like the second teacher knew more about the assessments and exams than she did, too. She seemed like she hardly ever knew what was going on, she shouldn't have been teaching a senior class. All of our grades suffered severely because of it, and she and even teachers of the other classes all blamed us. Smh...
