Look, most teachers are heroes. But they’re also human beings. And to be fair, some teachers are not very good at monitoring their language in the classroom. However, some folks should have never chosen teaching as a profession at all—as some of these comments on a Reddit thread about bad teachers make abundantly clear.
Redditors are chiming in and sharing their outrageous stories of the worst thing a teacher has ever said or done in a class. From drinking on the job to cursing to justifying rape, these teachers do not make the grade.

“I had a history teacher explain to the girls in the class (we were 15) that it’s important to go to high school: ‘Because how else are you going to find a man that earns money, my ladies? Only after you’ve found him can you stay home.’ Guy was 45, and we were in 2015. He also was antisemitic, thought climate change was a hoax, and was overall an arsehole.” — Chickiri

“I was in 5th grade and there were a few students who weren’t getting great test scores. So during our lesson one day she calls out some of those students and basically paints a really morbid picture of what their future would supposedly be. She said they’d end up working at McDonald’s for minimum wage, barely making enough to pay rent in a shitty apartment with no way to pay for food, electricity or anything else.” — yeetgodmcnechass
