A new teacher had her first class in a rowdy classroom. She tried to be strict from the start but wasn't assertive enough. The students quickly took over the class, talking over her and not following instructions. She ended up in tears by the end of the day, feeling completely defeated and wondering if she was cut out for teaching at all. She had to learn a lot about classroom management in a very short time after that.
Sure. One bad teacher story I know is about a teacher who always yelled at students for no good reason. If a student made a small mistake like forgetting a book, the teacher would shout at them in front of the whole class, making the student feel very embarrassed and humiliated.
One horror story is when a first - year teacher had a student who was extremely disruptive. This student would constantly talk back, throw things, and disrupt the whole class. The teacher tried every discipline method she knew, but nothing seemed to work. It made teaching very difficult and stressful for her.
I remember during my first year, I had to deal with a classroom full of rowdy students. At first, I was strict, but it didn't seem to work well. Then I decided to set up a reward system. For every good behavior or academic achievement, they would get a small prize. This not only improved their behavior but also made the classroom a more positive and fun place to be.
One common element is lack of experience in classroom management. For example, a new teacher might not know how to handle disruptive students effectively. Another element could be over - planning or under - planning lessons. Some first - year teachers plan too much and can't finish in time, while others don't plan enough and end up with a lot of dead time in class. Also, not being able to build good relationships with students quickly is a problem. If students don't feel a connection with their teacher, they are less likely to be engaged in the class.
One major theme is the teacher's inability to control the classroom. There are stories where the classroom is chaotic because the teacher doesn't enforce rules. Also, some teachers are overly strict in a wrong way. They focus more on punishing students for minor things rather than guiding them to improve. Additionally, there are stories about teachers who are not up - to - date with the subject matter, so they teach incorrect information or use very old - fashioned methods that don't resonate with modern students.
I knew of a teacher who was extremely unfair in grading. She favored certain students and would give them high marks even when their work was mediocre. Meanwhile, other students who worked hard got much lower grades for similar quality work. This unfairness created a very negative and competitive atmosphere in the class.
One time, my math teacher would always yell at students for not understanding concepts immediately. He never took the time to explain things differently. If you asked a question, he'd make you feel stupid.
One of my bad college teacher stories was about a professor who was always late for class. He would stroll in 15 minutes or more after the scheduled start time, without any apology. It made the students feel disrespected and it disrupted the learning rhythm.
Well, I have a story. I went to a new coffee shop. The barista there had a really grumpy face when I walked in. I was like 'This place might not be so nice'. But it turned out he was having a bad day and actually makes great coffee.
My bad first kiss happened during a school dance. I was with a boy I liked, but he was so in a hurry. He just grabbed my face and smooshed his lips against mine really hard. It hurt a bit and there was no build - up or anything. It was like he was just trying to get it over with. It made me feel really disappointed and a bit grossed out.
