Worst was when my A level art teacher told me that my portfolio was going to be graded at an A but when I got my actual mark it was a D! :l I mean what a *****.
Best was when I was doing my A levels again, some stuff was happening at home and my deputy head of year was just awesome about it all and gave me 3 days off school but let me come in as I didn't want to be at home for a while. Urgh I loved her!

Worst was when I was going through some bad times and my Head of Key Stage (I was in yr 9) told me I was going to fail all my subjects because my attendance was bad and no Sixth Form was going to accept me. Then my mum contacted school about what was going on at home (a very close family member had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's) and three days later she came and apologised.

I don't rly have a 'best' moment but I have (had) some truly lovely teachers. My Year 10 & 11 Spanish teacher was so kind, particularly as I was really nervous about my speaking exam and she let me come and do it before school so I wouldn't spend the whole day worrying.

In year 11 I was told "have fun working in McDonalds" because of my poor attendance and attitude.

Jokes on them. Taught at a way higher level than them and have a far better job than them now :P ..... and I never worked in McDonalds :)

I had my media teacher tell a few of us that we shouldn't go into the media industry because we're not good enough, so I went on to study the same university course as she did and the rest of them actually did go on to study a media related course.
The amount of favouritism in that classroom was sickening. She seemed to 'love' the people who hated her the most.

We have that in my sixth form's media class (I dropped it after AS). We have a little group of people called the 'Media Elite' who are always offered letters to go on trips before anyone else so they can definitely get a place, they're given the most help with coursework, and they're always put in a group together because they're supposedly the 'best' at Media so they get the top results...

idk probably my music, drama and yoga teacher turning out to have mass child pornography on his laptop and being a huge creep.

I think I was too old for him at the time, however - so I was pretty safe ~.~

Worst is probably to do with my 2nd French teacher. She viewed me to be a nuisance and a disturbance despite never actually having done anything to piss her off, except forgetting homework ONCE (which I got a 30 minute detention for, which I didn't attend). Not long after that, she moved me down a set to a much nicer teacher. I think she didn't like me as, when I had to do a speaking assessment in front of the whole class, I ended up saying that I don't know what to say, and just sat down. It wasn't out of rebellion, but I was humiliating myself so thought I'd end my suffering.

It's either her or my English teacher in year 8 who NEVER learnt my name and kept calling me Tim. Hard choice.

Oh wait, I actually changed my mind but I don't want to delete the previous bit. The worst thing a teacher has ever done to me is set me the wrong work. Not only set me the wrong work, but when I smell the **** they were stirring about how it was the right bit of coursework for me to do, I actually contacted the exam board which basically proved my point. They, however, claimed I was wrong and that the teachers "friend" was clearly more knowledgeable on the subject than someone from the bloody exam board. I ended up failing due to this technicality so I wasted 2 years of my life on some work which contributed absolutely nothing to my life. Most of my "bad teachers" I can look back on and think that they weren't really that bad and were quite fair in retrospect, even if I did find what they did unfair at the time. This guy, however, was incompetent as hell and why it took so long for him to get fired is beyond me.

The nicest thing is probably the amount of help my year 10/11 English teacher gave. She would sit down, one-to-one, for however long you needed (I think I talked to her for around 20-30 minutes once), discussing what you need to do to improve essays etc.

My history teacher is the nicest person ever!!!! Amazing teacher, so passionate about his subject. Would go above and beyond for any of his students. When I graduated, he posted a letter to me saying he was so proud of me etc. So so nice.

Then worst, I had a lot of deaths in my family in my gcse year causing me to have a lot of time off, needing my cw reshuffled around etc. Then at alevel, I got one of the best marks in the school and the vice said to me 'I wasn't expecting you to get that after the trouble you caused us at gcse.' She wasn't a nice person at all and I was so stunned she said it, I don't even say anything. It still makes me angry that I didn't reply back to her with your an absolute *****!

all of my teachers were nice to me but i wouldn't say they did anything exceptional

in year 10 we had a really **** science teacher and i got a D in my first gcse science exam, then around may they said our class were being moved to btec because of some crap reasons so we started doing that coursework
when we came back in year 11 all our btec coursework was gone because the old teacher had gone missing with it and we had to start all over again which was really annoying :rolleyes:
anyway our old teacher got fired because we (mainly i) complained, i hated science anyway probably because we had a crap teacher every single year apart from year 7 and 11

The worst teacher I've probably had was my history teacher. She was a nice woman, but had a dislike for me. She'd always try and make me move down a level when I was capable of the work and did work hard for the subject and did pretty well on exams and assignments. She expected me to get an extremely bad grade when I did fantastic at it lol. It's really not that bad in all honesty, as I was a very quiet student and kept to myself. Only bad thing was when a teacher confronted me for my behaviour in another class, when id been pretty respectful and tried to help the teacher out as nobody would listen to her as she was quiet young and they threw CDs at her head... He took me aside at lunch time and shouted at me, at the time he was my maths teacher.

Although, my favourite teacher was my vice principal, when that happened I went to her and she took me into a private room and let me discuss very thing about it and wrote every single thing down, she was such a good person. Also, my principal helped me so much when I applied to ucas the first time, he bended over backwards and would bring me into his office and chat away to me for ages!! Loved him!!

Inseriousity.

funnily enough my worst teacher was in reception. I'm terrible at drawing (still am) and she berated me for trying to draw a person with shapes (triangle head, circle body, something like that). Why are you even working with kids, you miserable cow! It still doesn't make any sense lol.

I've had a lot of good teachers since then though. :D

Worst:
In my secondary school we had to include a statement of what we felt we had achieved in each year as a part of the reports the school sent home regarding our progress.

For my PE statement in Year 10, I wrote that I didn't feel like I had achieved anything and that the department gave very little for me to get interested in; I may have also advised providing a larger scope of activites, but I can't be sure.

In the next theory lesson we had, I was held back after class and told I had to write the statement again because my teacher didn't like what I wrote. I told her I didn't care and that she use it regardless, to which she told me she couldn't because she had ripped it up.

It's hard for me to find any dignity in the lies I wrote to satisfy that woman, and when I look back I regard her actions as nothing less than a violation of my right to free speech, and I now wish I had felt that way at the time and gone straight to the headteacher about it.

To this day it's the only thing I genuinely get pissed off about when I think of my time at that school, and how truly wicked a person she was. I had her on and off for the latter half of my secondary education, and I always disliked her, but this genuinely took the biscuit. I gave her zero respect in my later years into Sixth Form, and deliberatly ignored her when she dared speak or demand something of me.

Nicest:
Probably the nicest thing I experienced was when I was in Sixth Form doing A-Level Media Studies. I can't remember which year it was (12/13), but we sat one of our module exams early into the year as opposed to summer.

When we got our results back, it was a shock to see that all of us did badly, me especially with getting a U. But what shocked me more was just how surprised and angry the others were with how I ended up with the grade, with them agreeing I would've really had to try to fail it. While it's not exactly true cause you could just not write anything, I appreciated the sentiment. It ended up with our teacher requesting one our papers back to see what had gone wrong, and with her concluding we had got a retired teacher marking them who wasn't familiar with the module (whether or not it's true we'll never know!).

I had mostly just shrugged it off and decided to just do better next time, but their reactions made me think for the first that I maybe deserved or was worthy enough to go after the education I was striving for.

Our teacher was quite cool too. Someone who actually treated the students as people deserving of trust and companionship. She was the only teacher in the school who freely interacted them on a personal level outside classes, spending every break and lunch in their company, although she really had no obligation to outside of being on duty.

Well when I was in Year 11 my Maths teacher called me a little **** head and said she was going to crush my balls like grapes.

I still haven't decided if this is the worst or best thing that has happened to me.
