Who’s the worst teacher you’ve ever had? And why?

Okay, this is somewhat of a cynical question, considering that it would be better to remember our best teachers, but I’ve had such memorable bad teachers, that I can imagine you guys might have some interesting/funny/horror stories.

For me, I’ve had about 3 or 4 really bad teachers, mainly because of my high school’s drastic budget cuts, they were forced to hire sports coaches to teach history, biology, political science and anatomy. My biology teacher simply handed us packets to fill out, while we watched action movies. He was basically a glorified baby sitter.

My U.S. history teacher let us listen to our iPod’s everyday while she sat at her desk, buying crap off of Amazon. We watched National Treasure (without her ever watching it before) and she exclaimed “Wow this is so interesting! Who knew!”

My political science teacher taught us the JFK/Lincoln assassination similarities, which is just folklore, but my teacher taught it to us as though it was factual and educational. I brought that up in the middle of class and he was super pissed.

My anatomy class just consisted of us copying definitions from the textbook and eating candy that he gave out, while he sat at his desk watching Fox News.

I also had a creative writing teacher who would constantly make fun of a student who had obsessive compulsive disorder.
