71 Awful Teachers Who Went Above And Beyond To Make Students Miserable

Every school year, parents arm themselves with a shopping list of everything their child needs to succeed: uniforms, school shoes, textbooks and a mountain of stationery. But none of these essentials count for much when the person in charge of the classroom is less Miss Honey and more Miss Trunchbull.
Don’t get me wrong, most teachers deserve far more credit than they get, and I applaud anyone willing to take on the task of shaping young minds (and keeping the troublemakers in line). But as with any profession, there are bound to be a few bad apples—and the people below were unlucky enough to be taught by them.
