I had a social studies teacher in 9th grade who I thought was kind of boring because he seldom talked to us, he would wheel in a tv set and disappear every day leaving us to watch Top Cat cartoons for the hour. Top Cat was entertaining but that teacher was so dull I don't think I ever caught his name. It didn't matter though, he passed everyone anyway.
My most boring teacher was my economics teacher. He made an already dry subject even more boring. His tests were nasty too, they were only 5 or 6 questions, and each one represented 25% of your semester grade. Miss 2 questions, and you basically failed that test.
My health teacher. All he did was read the paper. Every now and again he'd read a sentence from the paper and leave out a word. The student who got it right got a point. That's how the class was graded. It was his last year before retirement and he was determined to find out just how far he could push things.
My world history professor during my freshman year of college. He stood in front of the class and read from the book (like us college students were incapable of this). He had a voice that droned on and on and on and on........... He wouldn't even look up from the book so most everyone in class did something other than history.
History has always been something I loved, but this guy sapped the life out of it.
He was a tenured professor which gives you a clue about the academic quality of this college. Quitting this place and eventually transferring was the smartest decision of my life.
I never appreciated my 10th grade World History teacher until many years after high school. But at the time, she was unlike any teacher I had ever had before---exceedingly boring, extremely strict, never remembered anyone's name, tough test giver, and quite strange to look at (I wont get into that). But as an adult, I think about her...and remember her for the extremely intelligent woman that she was. She just didn't have the people skills (esp. with high school kids) to be an effective teacher.
Mine was my 11th grade history who was also the high school principal. His whole class was like a monotone dictation session.
Who was your most boring teacher and why?
The best and worst teachers were both in the Math department.
Mr. Pace was hilarious. He knew that the students attention span in Algebra/Geometry was time limited,
so the first 15 minutes and last 15 out of an hour were power paced with a big break in between. We were doing things like bringing small pets to school You could here his class down the hall.
Mr. Jones was probably a genius. He couldn't understand why Calculus and Trig. weren't just so obvious to us dummies.
What always worried me about teaching is that just because you get high marks doesn't mean you can teach.
My most boring teacher had to be the Economics teacher I had in High school. He had such a flat monotone way of speaking and he dressed like an undertaker in a horror movie. He looked like one too.
I hated that guy and since he failed me over one freakin' lousy point I guess the feeling was mutual.
My science teacher on the other hand was an incredible teacher who made learning fun and interesting and made me want to learn more. Those kind of teachers are very rare.
I had an English teacher in jr. high that was born in France and spoke with a heavy french accent. We could hardly understand what she was saying. She had trouble with the english language and used to ask us how to pronounce words. I have no idea how she got that job.
College: General Chem II (My Gen Chem I was great, so it was quite a downgrade)
I'm sure there were more, but those stand out the most to me.
