Every college and every school will have at least one teacher who almost all the students will just love to get rid off.
In my school there was none that drastic.But still there was quite a few in the lower classes.
But its not the same in my college.There is one particular maths teacher who just love to insult students.He used to call students and would make them do problems on the board.You can just imagine how nervous everyone would feel.Also when someone is working out on the board he used to just bombard him with questions.If he fails to answer the question or if he makes any mistake he will be just glad to give a piece of his heart.
I don't think anyone likes his classes.Everyone will be ready to bunk his classes and will make sure they just have the minimum attendance to attend the exam.
But in spite of all this there is one plus point.You will always be thorough with his subjects.But still everyone dreads his classes.
I hope everyone might have had a teache they wouldn't forget.

How ironic. The teacher I would get rid of also happens to be a math teacher. Maybe it's just that department? Nah, just kidding. I know a lot of awesome math teachers.
This particular teacher didn't seem to know what he was doing too much. He made simple mistakes that the class always had to correct. Or maybe I'm just used to my high school math teacher. She could do problems in her head and referred to her notes when she wanted to make sure she'd done/written something correctly. This teacher needed a calculator just to do basic addition and subtraction. PLUS he gave us the wrong equations on several occasions and this was an advanced Calculus class in COLLEGE. o_0
Then he'd throw in questions on the tests that we had never even gone over and he expected us to know how to do them even though they weren't in the material we had studied yet. I don't think I learned anything new in that course except that it's amazing how much a final exam can pull up your grade! I was skirting a C+ the entire semester, but I did good on my final exam and final project, so I managed to pull a B+ instead.
This was the same exact class (right down to the same text book) that I took in high school the year before! And in high school I had ended with a 96 average. -_-;

You have given a perfect example of what a teacher is capable of doing.

yes.i had a total pr*ck of an english teacher in 7th grade.
i was not a well child that year,most of the year i was in the hospital on and off for the same problem.
even though they were excused absences,he took it upon himself to make an example of me when i did attend class,AND some how got hold of my record and read it to the class (a couple of other students told me about this).
now,how the heck does a regular teacher get a kid's school record?
that would be a monumental breach of privacy lawsuit nowadays.probably even then,but my parents didn't persue it.![](/Content/images/emotes/angry.gif)

There will always be teachers we won't like as much as others, but fortunately for me, I'd never met one I wanted badly to "get rid off" (what did you mean by this, anyways?) I'm sorry to hear you've got one, and a math teacher at that! Guess that'd give me enough motivation to study hard so I wouldn't have to re-do his class, eh ;).
My main complaint with teachers is that they expect you to do well, when you're not assured they can teach the subject well enough.

I think your teacher is still ok. I have a teacher in college, my Political Science teacher was.. I don't know what to call him. He's so weird or whatsoever. He is a nightmare in my college and even my classmates have the same impression on him. Imagine a teacher telling you to memorize the whole constitution in just a very short period of time and in fact that subject is not even my major subject. And then giving a quiz where the questions were not even touched in class then you ask something about it after the exam and he don't even give you an answer.. He tells you that it's your responsibility to search for it when you don't even know that those will even be included in the exam??
What a painful experience that if possible I don't want to think about it anymore

There are some teachers who like to insult students. I'm sick of such teachers. I myself is also a college teacher, and I think the most important thing of being a teacher is to respect and show understanding to students. Students have their own difficulties. They hate examinations because they fear they may fail. So the duty of a teacher is to help students whenever they have problems, not to insult them. I never blame my students, not to mention insult. Both the teacher and students are common people, so we should learn to respect each other.

Yes, there happened to be one teacher in school that everyone would have been happy to get rid of. But he wasn't math teacher. Our both compulsory and optional math teachers were great and were loved by everyone in spite of being strict.
That teacher was Nepali subject teacher and how irritating he was. He was, of course, like how the literature teachers would be- very dramatic. But that wasn't the problem. It wasn't even his teaching ways that were bad. It was him. His behavior, attitude, thoughts (which he constantly spoke of revealing his character). To be more clear he was not not liked as a teacher but as a person and anyone in the school would have been more than happy to have him out.
