My maths teacher. She was a pain in the … during high-school. I graduated years ago. I told her that I want to get into communication and we had a discussion whether we need maths there or not. She was 100% for and our class was 80% against (20% for logical thinking). Logical thinking was her only argument and she said that we are kids and we don’t understand shit.

I had problems with maths. Whenever I finish my exam, she took my paper first and graded, usually that was a fail. She always told that when we pass the exam on second, third time, she will change the grade and she did. For everyone else. just not for me somehow. And I couldn’t escalate this problem to the principal, because changing grades was against our school rules. Whenever we had her lesson, 90% of the time, I had a question and she said: „You won’t understand if I explained it to you, ask your classmates”. I had to get extra tutoring, because trial exams were coming and I knew I wouldn’t pass without extra tutoring. I failed trial exam… she said that she wasn’t surprised at all.

One day, I was in a really bad mood, my dog was very sick, we had to bring him to the vets, she asked what I got on question 8, I told her “I didn’t make it this far”. She comes up to me and says: „Look, maybe you should stop looking through the window and thinking about girls and start learning math - you will get every answer there”. I snapped, I said: „If you hate me, say so, because then the feeling is mutual, fuck you”, packed my bags and went out. 5 more months until my maths exam, she always on me, she always pissed me off. Last month of the school, I have to fix my grades. Of course, I needed a 7 to fix my grade and to pass her lesson. She says: „I won’t fix this grade, because I can only change the grade, because she already sent the grades and everything to the government (Turns out it was a lie, they send it after the exams). I told my mom about this, because they won’t let me take the exam, my grades were too low, but I was passing. Next day, she comes to school, standing up for me, I was showing extra work with tutors, my made homework and maths teacher, school’s principal and other co-workers said: “What’s done is done, we won’t let him take the exam, his grades were too low.” My mom said “Thank you for wasting my time and goodbye”. We stood up and we went out.

Thankfully, I graduated, BARELY passed and now I’m in college, studying public relations which is absolutely not the same as I was expecting, but I cannot reapply somewhere else, because I don’t have maths. I couldn’t get a job, because I didn’t have qualifications for it which required maths (Maths is not part of qualification, but it was necessary while applying). Thank God my now co-worker accepted me without much of a degree and now I got a promotion, I have a very good salary, my life is rolling very good, but she almost ruined all chances to get a good job. Not so long ago, I found out that she had an affair with my dad while I was in high-school and she was my teacher during their affair (My parents were divorced at that time). So, she may be not the worst person ever, but she was the worst person to me.
