Mine

Favourite - year 11 ICT teacher

Least year 6 primary school teacher

[Niamh.]

My favourite was my English teacher in 2nd/3rd year (age15/16) he was the best teacher and such a lovely man. I heard he committed suicide a few years ago poor guy, his son died as a child and i suppose he never could get over it

Least favourite was the English teacher I had after him in 5th/6th year (17/18) she was a horrible woman, had no business being a teacher imo

[Drew.]

My favourite was my form tutor, she was probably the only teacher that liked me and put up with me.

Least would be my yr10 and 11 maths teacher who was also the headmaster. The strictest teacher in the school and I wasn't the best behaved student so he had it in for me from the first lesson I had with him

Favourite teacher was my 6th year Advanced Higher English teacher. There were only 5 of us in the class and we were all from the same friendship group, we basically spent 90% of the time just chilling out and chatting. I think he was reliving his youth . We would just talk crap and laugh for 50 minutes of the hour and then he'd be like "****! Look at the time. Write an essay on this book. Lataz."

Also sometimes he'd pass us in the corridor at lunch and be like, "Do you guys want to not bother this afternoon? I've got marking to do so you can just go and do whatever.", so we would just hang about in the cafeteria drinking slush puppies instead. Ahhhh good times.

Honourable mention to my P4 teacher who was amazing, very supportive when my gran died when I was 8 (my mum's mum - this was essentially when my mum checked out of parenting for good and I think I was very lucky to have a quite maternal teacher at that point).

Also to my Standard Grade (S3+4, age 14-16) English teacher, a quite obvious hippie in her early 50's, she was obsessed with my creative writing and treated my like a protege. I exploited this and straight up didn't finish, or even start a couple of the more boring pieces of coursework. I think they basically had to select a certain number for assessment and a few times I was like "I haven't found time to do this" and she would give me infinite deadlines and twice just said "You've got plenty that will get top assessed grade already, just forget it but DON'T TELL!"




Least favourite... well here we ****ing go! TMI coming right up.

In primary 2 (age 6) I had a horrible bully of a teacher. We're talking "Trunchbull" style here. She was awful... she would humiliate and belittle kids (6 year olds!) for taking too long with maths, not let them go to lunch, etc.
I had never really faced TOO much of her wrath because I was always slightly "ahead of average". But then...

When I was about 2 or 3, there was an accident at home when a hot iron fell on my leg. It also very slightly burned the tip of my foreskin (could have been SO much worse). Wasn't a problem for years but then my inevitably growing penis, seeking to achieve its eventual impressive length and girth, started to cause issues with scar tissue (foreskin was very tight at the tip, basically) so I had a circumcision. All fine, problem solved.

SO - For a couple of weeks after the surgery, I had to go to the toilet slightly more often. My parents explicitly told the teacher this, to let me go, and even to ask periodically if I needed to go. Hmm. So one day I go up to the desk and ask to go. Has she listened to my parents? Has she ****! She tells me that I absolutely am not allowed to go, until I have finished the maths sheet that we are doing. I practically beg, she bellows at me to sit down and finish my work. I sit down. I wet myself. I cry. My mum comes to the school and goes absolutely bat**** crazy at the woman .

So yeah. Minor trauma. I reckon it could literally have effected my entire time at school - except that a week later we were practicing a play and some other kid pissed himself, then another kid did a cartwheel, put his hand in it, slipped and fell on his face in the puddle of piss. So my quiet under-the-table accident was completely forgotten .

****ing bitch. I've made myself angry now. If a teacher did that to one of my kids I'd set fire to her car



And there you have it. A post where I simultaneously brag and also share my depressing motherless, foreskinless childhood. Which also gave me body shame until I found out in my teens that Americans just do it for fun! Thanks again USA

I had no favourite teachers, or not that i can remember

call it my bad boy phase

[Niamh.]

OMG TS, that's terrible, i don't understand why people who clearly don't even like kids want to become teachers unless they're completely sadistic bastards who do it cos they enjoy tormenting kids :/ There was a teacher like that at my sons school, he had her when he was around 6 as well actually, I remember going to his parent teacher meeting and the teacher was so serious about how awful Luke was, when really her only "complaints" about him was he says "damn it" sometimes when he got something wrong :/ But what she did to another boy in the class who has speech issues was awful, she knew he was seeing a speech therapist but she shouts out to him in class one day when he was answering a question "speak properly will you I can't understand you" :/ and like your mother, his mother was not impressed, she went mental with her

[ArgyESC]

My favorite is my Home Economics teacher in the first and second grade of junior high school, she had such an amazing sense of humor and her classes were truly enjoyable.

My least favorite is my English teacher in the sixth grade of primary school, she was so mean, I couldn't stand her.

[Nicky91]

We had a French exchange student teacher in her early 20's, wore her shirt buttoned about half way down so was essentially just wandering about in her bra. Seemed to be a case of "It's OK, she's French!"

Favourite - Year 10/11 Science (Biology) teacher She was so cool that she made me enjoy the subject.
Least favourite - Year 11 English teacher. She was so miserable and patronizing and didn't explain anything well at all.

[Shaun]

Favourites:
- Either of my two English teachers from year 7-13. Actually I think I had three that overlooked different years and I loved all three but two in particular - one was my form tutor from year 9 onwards as well and she was a sweetheart. The other one was our sixth form teacher and because our class was so small (there were five of us by the end of the second year, about 13 when the course started lol but they all dropped out) we'd literally start classes in the tea room and bring biscuits and basically have a bit of a gossip before we sat down to discuss exam questions and the Canterbury Tales.

- Also my English (Language) teacher when I went back to college a year or two later, he reminded me a lot of Charlie Brooker but a little less angry. I think I just enjoyed the teachers that created the most laidback/friendly environment, because he'd go from table to table and us four (a bit of a weird group: some super posh boy who wrote with a fountain pen he dipped in ink and spoke like Brian Sewell, a woman who was his carer/assistant of some kind???? and this other girl who I sat next to that was ) would again just natter with him about what was on TV the night before and how happy we were the News of the World was ending (it was around that time, and we'd analyse newspapers a lot for coursework).

- Only other teachers I really liked were either for the wrong reasons (taking the piss out of them a bit with the class) or ones that I can't remember too well from primary school... but our primary school was really out of the way and very "romanticised view of British summer as a child" in my head.

I can't actually think of a least favourite anyone who disciplined me...it was fully deserved so I can't think of a grudge I hold.

My favourites were my GCSE English, History and German teachers.

Least favourite was probably my GCSE Art teacher, she didn't seem to like me much at all (and remains the only teacher I've ever answered back to).

[Kyle]

Favourite: my P.E teacher form tutor. She was beautiful.

Least favourite: my P.E teacher form tutor. She didn't try it on with me. Hurts so bad.

Were you good at Art? Cus our Art teacher was one of those who only really seemed to like those who were good at the subject, luckily I was alright at it

[Glenn-C]

Favorite: I want to pick one, but my 2nd Year (13-14) English Teacher and my 2nd and 3rd Year (14-15) Science teacher were both amazing

Least: 1st Year (12-13) Music Teacher.

I was alright tbh, I just think she was moody in general

[LaLaLand]

My favourites were most of my Primary School teachers bar a couple plus my Art, English and Welsh teachers in Secondary.

Least has to be my ICT teacher/head of year... horrible woman. So patronizing and just had it in for me from day one. She'd just use me as an example and belittle me all the time, try to make me look bad. Say like if the whole class was talking it'd be ME that got bollocked or sent out.

In the end I just told her to **** off and leave me alone (to which the whole class applauded and the class helper woman smiled at) and she threatened to get my parents in, I said go for it, they came in and agreed with me on everything which she was not expecting at all, she was like a beetroot.

Also a tutor I had on my Art coure in college was equally as horrible but I think she had mental issues and was legit crazy but even she had her fun moments.
