Top 10 Worst Things to Hear from Teachers
-
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, 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?
-
Where's your homework?
I made an excuse to special ed staff. I was hiking and camping, and a black bear ate my homework.
I had it in my binder a minute ago, I swear!
-
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.
-
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 cannot go to the bathroom
At my school, there are literally rules against using the bathroom in class. If you don't have a toilet pass, you can't go during lessons. Period.
If you do have a pass, you can go, but not in the first 30 minutes of class. Like, no. We can't control when we need to go to the bathroom. Kids have literally been brought to tears over this. God help us.
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!
-
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.
-
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.

?
Next block: double math

?
Get over here!
-
The essay must be at least three 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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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!
-
Can you pay attention for once?
-
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.
-
You have detention
-
I am an adult and you are a child
Always hated that one. It makes me feel inferior.
-
What's today's excuse?
-
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!
-
You know what, do it by yourselves, see if you can figure this out
Then why are you sitting here glaring at us? Get the hell out, and we will "do it by ourselves."
-
No recess for you
-
Now!

I'm going to write you up
