Teachers Be Crazy
Zingoleb:
I just remembered! The ISS teacher (I don't know what to call him, he wasn't really a teacher? But he was pretty smart and would help on any topic; we were friends 'cause I was in there enough and I was the only one who didn't lip off to him) always kept a mallet on his desk. If he saw anyone sleeping at their desk, he would take the mallet, creep up, and slam it down on the desk.
It was amazing.

The teacher at my first Australian junior school who called me "Ching-chong", and treated me like a retard because my English was poor.

That's the kind of teacher that deserves a kick to the crotch.
MrSteevo:
I had a speech impediment when I was younger and needed a speech therapist to get my problems resolved. However, I didn't learn this till the second grade, because my first grade teacher graded us on how happy we were. So my big smile got me through perfectly fine, even though I was developmentally behind, while some poor kid with a bad home life or deeper emotional issues got a frowny face. Way to go school system.
The teacher I loathed the most was in grade 4 though, because she made us colour, even for math. Granted, finding projects for colouring in math is pretty skillful, I didn't really appreciate it at the time.

My wife is substantially deaf. A report from one of her primary school teachers said "V pays no attention in class; it's as if she doesn't hear what's said to her." Instead of checking whether she actually couldn't hear, they classified her as ESN. She only didn't get sent to a special-needs school because her father (a Jewish refugee) refused to send her to any place that had a "Jewish quota". So, by chance, she was sent to a decent school and managed to get an education after all. None the less, neither her schools nor her parents ever diagnosed the simple fact of deafness - that was only found when a fellow student at university (a good friend to this day) tried to interest her in some classical music and wondered why she so preferred music with trumpets in!
