This is a retrospective posting as I was dashing in Brighton when this post was due. I wouldn’t want to deprive you of the daily topic, though, so here’s #38 on the worst teacher ever.
Hmmm… Well, that’s a bit of a tricky question. There are so many bad teachers out there and it’s not easy to say who was the worst. I’ll have to begin by leaving the ones who weren’t actually qualified teachers out and then maybe I can say that the worst ever was an old maths teacher from my A-Level years.
He was of the opinion that teaching maths to kids studying Humanities was a waste of time and he would take every opportunity to tell us so. When asked a question, he’d respond that it was nothing we needed to know and chuckle happily as if he’d just been very funny. Which he wasn’t.
No teacher working with me these days would get away with that kind of behaviour. And that’s that.
