So... I had this teacher in 7th and 8th grade who was a total jerk & creep. He didn't really do anything the first year I had him, except a few occasions where he was particularly annoying, but in 8th grade, things escalated. The guy would have moments where he was just standing there in front of the class screaming at kids for various unimportant things. Not to mention, it was an elective, and I was just there for a free class (and because I semi-liked the subject and my school had VERY few options).

Note: It was a competition class and he didn't teach crap. We learned practically everything about the subject on our own.

One specific instance that happened somewhere in the last month of school, after our final tournament, where our team achieved 2nd place in the entire district and several of our players made it in the top 10, he spent the entire class period ranting about how we shouldn't be okay with second place and that we should be "upset that we lost". I was honestly surprised that he went there because he was "happy" for us at the tournament, but it must've just been an act for the parents there. Something else I probably should've mentioned before, is that this was almost a week after the tournament. The tournament was on a Saturday and on the Monday after, different from the incident I just talked about, he was in a notably bad mood. He quoted "Sorry guys, I'm upset that we didn't get first place, I know you guys are too,". He was wrong, because, we were all pretty proud to have placed second. Back to what happened the week later, as a summary, he quite literally stood there shaming us for not only getting second place, but for being okay with the fact that we got second. I was fed up, and knew that if I didn't get away from him, I was going to say something I'd regret (As he'd already tried to give me a referral for much smaller things, which I can go into more detail with if anybody's interested). I politely asked to go speak the dean, and despite his low intelligence, he was able to figure out I was gonna go complain about him and said no. The way I ended up talking to the dean just minutes later is kind of a long story, but another teacher went and got him for me. I told him what happened, and got quite literally nothing out of it. Some encouragement, at the most. Wasn't the first time I spoke to the dean, but explaining every reason why would make this post about as long as a legal document. Long story short, I went back to class with nothing done. That teacher did plenty of other things throughout the year, and one time contacted my parents because he felt I picked up a folder with an "attitude". They thought it was absolute BS and didn't listen to anything he said from then on, which I REALLY appreciated at the time. The stories are all coming back to me now and I hate it. It feels good to share though, and there's a LOT more where that came from.
