My son had a teacher WE hated. I say we because it took me months to even believe what a crazy B she was.

She called him by the wrong name for 2 months. I told her his name, I emailed her his name, I told the principal. Then we decided to call him her name ( as a joke ) at home to diffuse his frustration.

She told other kids in the class they were stupid. Literally used the word stupid and my son got detention for telling the teacher that was not a nice word to use.

She was so unorganized that the kids were late for lunch every day and she would cancel recess to finish teaching.

My son volunteered to speak at an event and she told him the kids in "ms liliy's" reading group will never speak in public - ever - not just for this event or in this school. My son is dyslexic. He did read at that event btw at ms lilly's insistence.

She told certain kids that they should never raise their hand in her class because it was a waste of time because she would not choose them.

She got the highest standardized test scores consistently every year.

When a teacher says "if I have reached one child today I have made a difference in this world" i think - you have missed the boat for 29 other kids. She was definitely making a difference.

Sometimes that is the only person that will. Teaching is a chosen profession. No one put a gun to this lady's head and made her pick that degree. I am venting here because I need to vent to someone before I vent to her!

Your son's teacher literally said to him that his parents would hate his art work? That strikes me as a very odd, unlikely thing for a teacher to say to a student. Not saying she didn't say it, just saying it's an unusual comment. If I were as upset as you clearly are, I'd meet with the teacher to discuss my concerns. Have you done so?

Please spell out what makes a teacher awful. --a teacher who wants to know

My child had an awful 2nd grade teacher too. Are you in mcps?

21:27, are you suggesting that a person having a frustration with more than one person means they are the problem? Judging from your tone, this isn't the first time you've made judgmental comments on this forum. Have you considered that maybe the problem is not the people towards whom you feel superior, but you?

My sympathy as well. We had the k teacher from h**L! And a 3dr grade treacher we still think we can presecute for child abuse. Very difficult. We did not think that every child was special, but we did feel that no child deserved to be screamed at.

Here's a tip: When you're continually encountering teachers from hell, YOU and your child are the common denominator. You may be reaching the wrong conclusions.

While I generally agree with this sentiment, two teachers does not (yet) a common denominator make.

Signed,
a teacher (who doesn't hate students and is there because she wants them to learn)

Uncalled for. Go find your broomstick.

Maybe you should talk with her, and ask her what's going on. It is NOT a teacher's job to make a child feel special. It's a teacher's job to teach material to their students. Maybe he was goofing off and then scrambling at the last minute to complete an art assignment and thus, did a half-assed job that he shouldn't be proud of.
