"Those who can--do. Those who can't--teach."

OK, I don't think that's true for all teachers, but some of them do have inferiority complexes. It makes them feel smart to teach. But there are some really good teachers who are passionate about what they do. Just remember that it's only temporary.

I was singled out too-but so were many NTs. I think that's just a method some teachers use to desuade people from so-called acting out.

My P.E. teacher was a real jackass. He always talked big about himself especially his college years claiming he lived on macaroni and hot dogs whilst still being a good sports player. Anyhow during classes he acts like he is the man whenever he is winning but if he is losing and someone acts a bit proud of their winning he starts spouting off about sportsmanship so we will shut up. He was also really...well I dunno, let me put it this way. One time I disagreed with him about a poster and he got pissed and threatened to have me suspended just because my opinion wasn't his,

That's very arrogant and selfish of him! As a teacher he needs to accept different views from pupils.

Well it is normal to give someone low marks if they didn't do any of the work.

My Algebra 2 teacher stank. When "teaching" us a new concept, she would work a few problems really quickly, without a word. If we asked questions, she'd tell us to read the book. T'was interesting...

My junior high school P.E. teacher was a frustrated jock. She called me down in front of other students and made me feel stupid because I wasn't very athletic. I was an academically oriented person, not a sports oriented one.

Looking back I've grown to despise many of the school teachers when I was school age...
So I say good riddance for no longer having to put up with the place that patronised me, made me feel quite weak and put me through a fair bit of misery.
Thank god I no longer have to go to that blasted place... school didn't work for me at all.

Before I was diagnosed, I hated my:

Art
History
ICT
Physics
Chemistry

...teachers.

But suddenly, after I was diagnosed, they all started being so nice, it was creepy. Now I don't mind them... And my physics teacher, who was convinced I was hopeless at the subject, was now trying to persuade me to take it up for an A-level!

Confusing humans. :lol:

And just for the record, my maths teacher was like a Saint... especially after she called me a genius, lol :wink:

I despised 2 of my Directed Study teachers (of 3). Of course I have myself to blame for that for being a self loathing hedonistic slacker in the 9th grade and ending up in there.

1 of them was alright, 1 of them got under my skin sometimes, the other one, oof. This woman was a freaking nanny on steroids. Always on top of everybodies business before they could demonstrate any sort of initiative or trust. Thought it was her business to prioritize every piece of work/homework I would work on, in what order. Even when I was doing fine. Alot of the times she even followed me to lunch period to make sure I bought at least one thing to eat and drink, etc. She must have been trying to lose everybodies respect as quickly as possible. Me and the other students mutually agreed that we would love nothing more than to watch that ***** rot in hell.

My old Geometry teacher was god-awful. She woud out questions on the tests that she never showed us how to solve, then acted like it was our fault when noone got the question right.

I quite like all of my current teachers, most of whom I think are absolutely incredible, and I don't think I've met any in the past that I despised (though I have met some decidedly unpleasant casual teachers). All in all I think that I have had a fairly good run, teacher-wise.

I have a No.1 most hated teacher of all time called Mr.Bennie, he was absolutely the biggest twat in the history of the space-time continuum I actually want cut him into little pieces using a chainsaw, I personally think he discriminates against people with disabilities because when I was in set 3 maths, he knew I had As as he'd taught me before but he acted like i was an idiot, I just can't concentrate on stuff I find boring, I'm not amazing at maths, brilliant at science, but maths is lame, so he moved me to set 4, when my friend, Alec, who also has AS moved up, he constantly picked on him and made a laughing stock of him by telling him to shut up, even though people knew Alec had AS before me, so I think he's just a dick.

I really disliked my old elementary school Gym teacher. I suck at absolutely anything athletic related; I believe that at the time I even had difficulty tying my shoes. So when we did activities requiring good reflexes and precise hand-eye coordination, I naturally was a dismal failure. That in itself wouldn't bother me too much: you can't be good at everything, and it wasn't the teacher's fault that I was better at academics than athletics. But what drove me absolutely bonkers was that she would give me low grades because I wasn't "trying" hard enough. I hated the implication that I was failing out of pure laziness. Gym was the only class I ever got a "C" in... after that, I found ways to weasel out of every other phys ed requirement.

I despise every teacher I ever had. I'm my own best teacher at how to do things.
