These 25 Ruthless Teachers Embarrassed Their Students

“I’m sorry, but there absolutely is no place for your choice of lifestyle in the public education system.” – Asst. Principal of my high school when she cancelled the performance of my original monologue (which won first place in a state competition) because it had lesbian themes

“I don’t think you should take AP English next year. I think you’d kind of suck.”

I’m 6’7″, and a substitute teacher called me worthless because I wasn’t on the basketball team. I was a straight A student and voted “most likely to succeed” in my senior yearbook.

“Have fun being my waiter forever.” -10th grade history teacher who dined at the restaurant where I worked.

Went to catholic school and as part of their thing, we have a graduation in the 8th grade. Went up to get my diploma. Looked down and there was nothing in the felt folder. I thought it was a mistake. We returned to the back where we had to wait for people to exit. Asked my main teacher, sister Mary France’s. “I didn’t get my diploma!” Her answer. “Your parents couldn’t pay your tuition.” Possibly the worst thing to say to a 13 year old. On top of that, she said it loud so a lot of my classmates heard it.

I got pregnant in year 11. A teacher told me to have an abortion or I’d end up doing nothing with my life like my parents.
