My Top 10 Worst Teachers
In this post, I’ll feature my worst, incompetent, illiterate, unprepared teachers in no particular order. I’m sure I have talked about some of them, but for the sake of my new readers, I’ll still add them here.
The Bad Teacher with a Bad Temper
She has got a temper that you don’t want to mess, or else, you would be scolded and embarrassed in class. There was this time that she threw all of our books that were nicely stacked in our shelves into the floor. And after that, she said, “Clean up that mess!” She does not want secrets inside the room, but she herself kept the fact that she got pregnant. Moreover, she’s very strict, no wonder why we got the “Model Class” award. Tsktsk.
Manyak #1
Yup, he likes harassing female students. He’s also power-hungry. Ironically, the students can overpower him because you can easily make him follow whatever you want. Nevertheless, he knows so many things, and that made me so amazed.
The F & P Syndrome
My PE teacher back in high school got an advanced stage of this syndrome. He would say “Pailed” instead of “Failed” and “What’s so punny?” instead of “What’s so funny?” (and even if you want to stop from laughing, you will laugh even more because of his syndrome).
I took the following from my old entry, “I Doubt It”:
- He does not know the odd and even numbers; he thought that the even numbers were 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on, and the odd numbers were 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on. We already corrected him though.
- He knows FHM (For Him Magazine) as FMH (as in For My Honey?!).
- One time he said: “To make the short story long.”
- He pronounced ‘gauge’ as ‘goose.’ And he even said that the copy that he was reading was blurred that’s why he pronounced it wrong. MANIWALA?! Utuin mo ang lola mo.. lol. Malinaw lahat ng mga photocopy namin!
- He teaches Physical Education and Health but I think he’s not Physically Fit. He’s fat!
Over Confident
Well, he’s a good teacher, the problem is that he’s too confident. I hate him for that.
Manyak #2
He holds a doctorate degree. And like Manyak #1, he teaches English. But he likes to harass male students. Yes, you read that right, he wants male students! There were other issues concerning him which led to his sacking.
Illiterate #1
He’s got a very ancient type pronunciation. You will not learn anything from him. It’s better if you will not listen to him and just read your book. And he can also embarrass his students without knowing about it. He also believes that Sam Milby is homosexual. Lol.
Manyak #3
With Manyak #2 being sacked, Manyak #3 took the post. He was the teacher who replaced our teacher in World History for a while in my third year. I suppose, my school had not found a competent teacher to replace Manyak #2, so Manyak #3 was called to replace the former. The big problem is that he is illiterate and incompetent. He does not know how to spell the word “Ghost.” He spelled it as G-O-S-T at first, which made us react, “Sir, there is a missing ‘H’.” And he changed it to G-O-S-H. Gosh! He does not deserve to be called as teacher. And yes, he lurves harassing students.
Illiterate #2
I hate her pronunciation. She can’t even pronounce simple words correctly!
One time, she entered our room with her usual outfit, but if you’ll look more closely at her, you’ll see that there is something wrong with her shoes. One of the pair was missing half of its heel. I wonder if she haven’t noticed it.
The Presenter
She loves using PowerPoint presentations in her class (but she does not know how to use it the easy way). The big problem is that she only reads whatever the content of the presentation. During our first meetings, I was listening to her, but in the latter part of the semester, I depended on the copies of the lesson that she gave to us.
The Chemist
In our laboratory period in Chemistry, we have two instructors, if you’ll ask question to the first, expect to have a wrong result and pray that the second instructor would not see your work!
This kind of teachers is just one reason why I hate school. But then, they could give us a good laugh, ‘ayt?

The site looks good on Firefox and Safari. On the other hand, it looks stupid on IE7.0, and it looks stupidest on IE6.0. I haven’t tried my site on Opera.

Interesting read. I had my share of unforgettable teachers too. There was still old teacher who taught accounting. He was quite old and he was always cranky. His teaching methods was so outdated but he was already an “institution” in the university so I guess the school allowed him to teach despite that. He was always on the look out for students who were not sitting properly (based on his standards) and would reprimand the student in front of everyone. It was weird.

To hell with your professors and, most of all, that school of yours! Hiring people like them?!? WTF. Maybe we should alert CHED or something.
Anyway, I’ve had no problems with professors who are PMS-ing or “extra-curricular-activity”-philics or fashion disasters or other eccentricities like those, because, bloody hell, nobody’s perfect. Just as long they’re ACTUALLY teaching relevant stuff sans beating around the bush, fine by me.

napadaan lang sa iyong munting blog.
lahat tayo nagkaroon ng mga magagaling na titsers at mga titser naman na di magaling. ako madalas problema ko sa mga titsers ko ay nakakaantok sila magturo.
paborito ko talaga yung mga titsers na talagang kinukuha yung atensyon ng mga estudyante nila, talagang interesting yung pagtuturo nila at nagbibigay rin ng mga advice tungkol sa buhay at kung anu-ano.
nge ang daming manyak yata na guro sa iskul niyo ah XD. fhm stood for “for him magazine”? i didn’t know that XD.
and i have to agree with one of your teachers. i think sam milby is gay too XD.

Your schools are very weird, hiring those kind of teachers. Have you asked if they even graduated from a university? Those manyaks should be jailed! XD

Ipa-imbestigador na ang mga ‘yan. tisk.

You have all of those 10 this college? Or yung iba sa high school? Anyway, I’ve also had my share of incompetent teachers, pero lahat sa high school. I don’t really remember having stupid professors or instructors at UP. Magaling silang lahat sa fields nila, pero pagdating sa pagtuturo, mayroong mga sablay.
I haven’t experienced manyak profs. Green-minded oo, pero outright manyak, wala pa naman.
On your layout: For some reason, the House of Black comes to mind when I look at your background, hehe..

Rex: Most of them are from high school (you can ask Michael about them, haha, especially the one with the F & P Syndrome and Manyaks #1, 2 and 3).

You design looks good.
Ach… teachers!
August 27, 2007 @ 11:11 pm
sana pwede ring grade-an ang mga teachers no? tutal nagbabayad naman tayo sa school para matututo bakit hindi tayo pwede mamili ng teachers?
August 27, 2007 @ 11:35 pm
I especially hate demanding professors with unrealistic requirements.
August 28, 2007 @ 1:43 pm
Wow Christian, only in the Philippines! Haha, Illiterate #2 is definitely the bomb.
August 28, 2007 @ 2:04 pm
wow.. you’ve got some weird teachers there! Wah, nakakamiss talaga sa pilipinas!!!!! >.

we have the so-called academic freedom for teachers. however this does not mean that teachers can do anyhting they want to do even if those are, if i may say, deviant or idiosyncratic in nature.

LOL. i hate those advantageous manyaks making “moves” on our class’s girls
