How to Effectively NOT Teach Your Students: A Compilation of Bad Teaching (GR2)


Be contradicting! Tell your students that they will receive proper guidance on their assignments, but only offer vague, unclear directions. Be sure to fail them when they do not meet your unclear expectations.

            Be the teacher, but fail to teach. Unload countless amounts of information onto your students. Yet, neglect to deliver any of the information in a comprehensible manner.

            Think for your students! Because it is proven that the notion of allowing them to think for themselves is absolutely absurd.

            Allow the students in the back of the class to sit and talk during instruction. After all, they are a lost cause anyways.

            Often stray away from school and class related topics. The students are obviously there to hear your uneventful, far from relevant, life story.

            Under no circumstances should you give feedback! Why bother? Students could care less why they received one grade or another. Don’t even burden yourself with telling them what they did well and what they could improve on. This would be a great time to pass up an opportunity to teach. After all, there is NEVER any possibility for improvement.

            Avoid differentiating instruction. It is a fact that there is no lesson more effective than the classic, “I talk, you listen” methodology. Students will undoubtedly fall asleep, but that is not a result of hearing the same monogamous voice the entire period.

            And if I’ve taught you nothing so far make sure you remember to absolutely, positively never, ever include your students in any way shape or form. If you do that, they may actually learn something!! I know . . . scary right?
