Top 10 Worst Things to Hear from Teachers

The Top Ten
Class, the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do.

Well, if the bell doesn't dismiss me, don't you ever dare count me late because I walked in after the bell rang.

Whoa, one of my teachers says exactly this. But yeah, this is why I'm always late to my next class.

Oh really? Then what's the purpose of the bell? To get our hopes up and then kill them again?

I'm calling your parents

NOOO! Don't! My parents are Asian, and they have high expectations. If they find out, I'll be dead for sure!

I blocked my teachers' numbers on my mom's phone so they can never call her.

I got this today in school. I was so scared to go home. My mom got mad at me because I misbehaved in Block 1 and got sent to the office.

Class, here's your homework

My high school special ed teacher gave the class some of the dumbest, most pointless, and most ridiculous assignments ever. None of them were even logical or made any sense at all.

For example, once she told us that our homework was to tell our parents not to drink and drive. REALLY? That's common sense!

Yesterday, I got 12 assignments! During English Language Arts, our teacher said our homework would be devastating, but we didn't believe him. After seeing the workload, we were shocked and believed him.

During Math, another teacher said she would only give a little bit of homework, so we believed her. At the end, we got three 30-page worksheets! How is that a little bit?

Where's your homework?

I had it in my binder a minute ago, I swear!

Nobody's leaving until I say so

Make me late to class?!
I will bolt and knock people over.
I will not be late!

I have teachers that are like that! So annoying!

Super, duper annoying! They waste my time!

You can not go to the bathroom

This statement should be illegal. Students can get kidney infections, and they could also wet their pants.

Do you want me to pee myself? Well, you know what? I'll just use the trash can!

I can't? Well, can I use your bag as one?

Get over here right now!
I don't care who started it!

They say this whenever there's a fight. My school has some of the craziest fights, and there are at least three fights daily, so the teachers all got sick of it.

I'm going to write you up
Go to the principal's office now!

This would give me anxiety. I'd worry I was in big trouble or about to be suspended or something.

The Newcomers

? Next block: double math
? Get over here!
The Contenders
Get out
You're expelled
Sit down!
No talking

I was talking to my friend I hadn't seen since Wednesday. He was sick Thursday and Friday, and she said no talking.

Give me your phone

Hell no, I don't let people touch my phone. If the teacher ever got a hold of my phone (and they've confiscated it many times), I'd feel uncomfortable because they could see my texts.

One time, my algebra teacher let us use calculators, but he forced us to give him our phones. Like, what?!

I'd rather get detention than let my teacher take my phone.

The whole class misses recess

My 3rd grade teacher did this to us. She had to reset the little timer for early end-of-the-year recess because the disruptive kids were making noise every time the timer ended. Keep in mind, we could've had nearly 15-30+ minutes of recess. Then, the teacher said, "Only 1 minute left."

Around the 30-second mark, this kid got up from his seat and went to another kid's seat. Then he said, "Can I have my markers back?" We all yelled his name really hard. We were all mad. He had the nerve to say, "What?"

When I was in 2nd grade, a group of kids was being annoying during recess. The next day, the teacher asked, "Who were the kids I told not to go to recess yesterday?" The group of idiots didn't show themselves, so the teacher said, "Since you won't show yourselves, all BOYS will not have recess today."

Pop quiz!
The essay must be at least 3 pages long

What if you don't have enough information on the topic to write 3 pages? I've always hated this.

Triple space,
Size 90 font,
4 in. header,
4 in. footer,
Gigantic margins.
Now you are set.

That would suck. Writing a 3-page essay is something I would hate to do.

You have to write an essay

Even worse than that: the essay has to be a minimum of 3-5 pages long.

A teacher in one of my college classes made the class type a minimum of 10 pages once. I can't even type 5!

We need to have a talk. You're not in trouble.

I finally worked up enough nerve to tell my teacher I thought I had dyslexia, and the conversation was completely horrible. After that, he literally did nothing at all!

Ugh, this is so annoying. When they say "you're not in trouble," it's just an instant lie. I'd rather they not say it.

The "you're not in trouble" part is obviously a lie.

Go back and walk

This is why I'm sometimes late to my next class in high school. My homeroom teacher will say this even if I'm across the hall. I walk, and then when she is out of my sight, I RUN so I won't be late to my next class.

Oh my gosh, I hate this so much! Most irritating thing ever! It makes me want to punch them in the face!

This makes me late to class all the time. The teachers should just tell us to slow down, not go back and walk.

You have detention
Can you pay attention for once
Go to the end of the line
I am an adult and you are a child

Always hated that one. It makes me feel inferior.
