When I was in 11th grade, I had a geometry teacher who would constantly go off topic over everything instead of just teaching the subject, which was a huge distraction for me. He would talk garbage about everybody, and we dared to defend ourselves or others, he’d reply with “your face”. He would ask stupid questions on our geometry tests saying “what year did Rick Astley’s one hit wonder come out?”. He was this obsessed 90’s kid who would mock us for not growing up in the glorious decade he lived in, and used his biased opinions as facts. For example he would say “all modern cartoons suck”. Actually, Gravity Falls was an excellent show, nice try. And he would NEVER shut up about Bob Ross. Even if we told him to stop, he’d never listen.
He would claim facts about famous fictional series that are actually false. For example he stated that the Powerpuff Girls were played by children in the 1998 series. I told him that was not true because they were in their 20’s and 30’s when it first aired. He twisted my words and said they ARE adults now but used to not be. This infuriated me because he acted like he’s smart and the rest of us are dumb, but he puts himself on a high pedestal and discredits my generation especially since I was a fan of that show.
His rude behavior got me in trouble almost every time, he’d mock us for not knowing something yet he never acknowledged that he was wrong about anything even if someone pointed out his mistake. If any of us succeeded he would just go “whatever”. I hated going to school because of him, especially since he had a grudge against me because I was the only kid in the school who had autism. He pointed out every mistake I made no matter how hard I worked and would end up with C’s, D’s and even a big fat zero, meanwhile my neurotypical classmates would slack off and he gave them A’s and B’s. I nearly failed my class and would cry every night. Sometimes I wonder why he ever got a job like this, and if the other teachers ever recognized his behavior.
When I finally finished high school I was overjoyed knowing I would never have to deal with him again. So that was my experience. Anyways, what are yours, if any?

). But I try to let it go if it's not important or find a gentle and kind way to correct someone if it's necessary.
