Things that teachers/professors do that drive you bonkers. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

1. Take attendance 5 minutes before the class officially starts. Don't they know that people have classes or other obligations before that class? I get penalized for being late even though I actually show up at the time the class is supposed to start.

2. Keep us students after class has ended. Don't they know we have other classes, jobs, etc. after class?

3. Get upset because someone has to miss a class. True, some people do cut, but a legitimate reason such as illness, death in the family, family emergency, etc. is NOT a cut.

4. Lose your project/report/test/etc. and penalize you for it being late.

I'm sure I can come up with a lot more. What are things that your professors/teachers do that really bug you?

5~ repeat things over and over again!

6~ yell without anyone expecting it

7~ dont let you get a freakin tissue without raising your hand

8~ signing out when going to the bathroom

9~ giving you, literally, 9298764 notes per lesson! ughh!

mm hmm!

Hmmm....my teachers don't really do any of that stuff...except keep us after class sometimes, which is irksome.

I hate it when teachers don't know how to teach or don't prepare any sort of lesson plan or anything. Now, class discussions are good, but the students shouldn't have to teach themselves. I had one teacher who would ask the class a question, and because the class was boring and everyone hated the teacher, it was like pulling teeth to get anyone to answer. So he'd sit there and stare at us for 10 minutes, while we're sitting here chirping like crickets before he finally says something else.

my spanish teacher repeats everything..over and over and over...we have a reviee every damn day for a test that's not for another week! no studying..but annoying as hell!

Or wearing really goofy clothes. One of my old teacher would wear like brown pants with pink socks. This same guy would play with things in his pockets nearly the whole time he was teaching, and it always looked like he was playing with something...*aherm*...inappropriate....

This didn't happen to my class, it happened to my friend's class

But it's true

I wonder if he is related to my gym teacher...

Anyways, my Language Arts teacher does this really odd thing... she clenches her fist, closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and sighs reeeeeeeeally long. You don't know how much this irks me.

and they go "i can't compete with this-the noise-i just can't."

my spanish teacher also like mouths stuff when we're quiet so we can take it as a hint to be quiet and listen.

my english teacher allows NO, absolutely NO, talking in her class. writing only in pen. writing only on one side of the paper...you know.

my old history teacher used to spit...it was annoying cuz he was always in my face and he got so carried away by acting out a scene (they were so good too) that he'd spit on me. or my paper. or a note i happened to be writing.

Hollow · 03-12-2002, 09:47 PM

My teacher freakin favors cuz once she handed me a piece of paper for a quiz thing and i grabbed it kinda hard cause i was startin late and she screamed the crap outta me and punished me and one time back in august this guy that she favors stabbed this other guy w/a pencil so hard he was crying and she didnt even punish him and i got in trouble for grabbin a piece of paper

Kay Scarpetta · 03-12-2002, 09:54 PM

My teacher last year... my science teacher..she always said this when we were talking-

"YOU ARE-TOO LOUD-TO BE-WITH ME!!!!!!"

AHHHHHHHHHH It was so annoying, yet funny at the same time!

consentida · 03-12-2002, 09:59 PM

I hate it when teachers call on you when you dont even raise your hand. I hate that so much. I had this one teacher last year, she was my spanish teacher, everyday we would repeat the same thing at the beginning of class. We would go thru the numbers, days of the week, and months of the year EVERY FREAKIN DAY. And in that same class, I used to sit right in front and the teacher would put the overhead right by my desk and stick her butt right in my face. I dunno if she was aware of the fact that she was doing it or not but its like HELLO! She'd stand there the whole period too. I'd be huffing and puffing and mumbling and she still wouldnt move. And if she did move, she'd stand right in front of me! I mean, I liked that teacher and we were close and everything but we weren't that close. Its like C'mon gimme a break. My goodness!

Mr. Shy Guy · 03-12-2002, 09:59 PM

I'm only in Spanish 2 and when my spanish teacher gives instructions, she does them in Spanish and nobody has a single clue what she is saying. It makes scence that the highest grade currently is a B. Mine is a D.

vienna waits · 03-12-2002, 10:48 PM

-Teachers who call on you when your hand isnt raised! my ancient world teacher does that and he makes me look soooo dumb.

-Teachers who give impossible homeworks. My ancient world teacher had requirements for this poster and certain info had to be on it but the info was like no where on the Internet but yet he still expects it.

-Whenever my spanish teacher is too lazy to teach us our lesson and just lets us sit there. Yeah its fun not having to do work but instead she'll teach it on some other day and go so fast that no one gets it but yet we'll be quized over it the next time.

-Whenever my spanish teacher rambles in spanish just to annoy everyone because she knows no one understands what she is saying.

And the list goes on but for now im done..

One more! Whenever my algebra teacher doesnt give us enough time for our tests! It makes me so mad because I'm so slow at taking Algebra tests.
