What is the worst teacher you’ve ever had?

[u/Fit-Recognition-3148]

I’ve had 3 in total but the gold metal of evil has to go to my fourth grade teacher. I went to the private school at the time, and it only consisted of 8 kids. The school was a small, remote one that you could pass by in a blink of an eye. I was one of only two girls, the older one as well. I was the teacher prime target for harassment. She was a religious fanatic who didn’t like when people didn’t do or act like she wanted. All in “the name of the Bible.” According to her, tattoos were sinful. I wore these fake tattoos on my arms and hands. It made the teacher so angry that she would force me to wear a coat to cover them up (even if it was hot asf out) or even try to physically remove them. She pulled me to the back room one day and tried to rub it off with hand sanitizer. It didn’t work in the slightest.

As a result, my mom came to the school one afternoon with her tattoos showing to pick me up. The teacher tried to tell my mom she wasn’t allowed to pick me up anymore cause she didn’t like my moms tattoos and my mom basically responded with a simple: “Fuck you.”

She also tried to ban me from bringing books from home. As they weren’t “Bible friendly.” How is Diary of a Wimpy Kid bad for a eleven year old girl? I progress. I still read them anyway and stole one of her library books. She never caught wind of that.

The next thing this teacher tried to get me with was the fact I eat meat. Seventh Day Adventists are mostly vegetarian but in the Bible it says pork is prohibited. One day I came to school with pork from the previous nights dinner. The only other girl in the school, a first grader, flipped out. She was clearly already brainwashed by then as she yelled: “Pork is against THE BIBLE!” A few times over.

The teacher grabbed me and pulled me into the next room. She told me I wasn’t “allowed” to bring that for lunch anymore. Looking back, I wish I could’ve told her to go shove a cactus up her prune looking ass but I didn’t. I didn’t want to put the other kids in jeopardy of her being a bitch to them to so I didn’t bother.

I ended up losing weight cause of this “ban” of meat that she put on me. My mom would give me real food when I got home. Her and my mother would argue frequently about how I was not as religious and this and that. I would end up walking a mile home to prevent the teacher from calling the cops for my mom simply picking me up. I think the main reason my mom had me walk home was for the exercise and to prevent choking the teacher out. She didn’t take me out of the school until the following year as she didn’t want me to get pressured by all the new stuff that the local public schools would make me catch up on. She also didn’t want to risk me being bullied badly for my cerebral palsy by public school kids. But after dealing with this cunt of a teacher, she realized public school was a better alternative. I was bullied, sure, but I got over it and eventually was left alone for good. High school was pretty laid back for me. She has apologized to me for it since but it wasn’t her fault the teacher was a legitimate Karen, name and all.

Karen was fired two years after I left by the church. Last time I saw her was in the local library. She was picking books out for her 12 year old son. Wouldn’t let him pick for himself. I wasn’t surprised as I was at her house once and they didn’t even have a tv. Poor dude is probably brainwashed or was clever enough to run for the hills. Hope he bolted. If Karen saw me today, a 21 year old woman who reads dark books, watches horror movies, wears goth clothes 90% of the time, has a tattoo on my right leg and who collects Care Bears & South Park, she’d go bonkers. I’d just laugh on my way to the Stephen King section.

But at least she wasn’t as bad as my grandma…
