Stupid Hamster Teacher
More coursework than project, but I still took a great deal of pride in writing my English GCSE coursework on Shakespeare. It involved letters from Banquo to his wife as we were studying Macbeth.

I spent hours tracing a really beautiful and ornate border onto a sheet of A4, photocopying many pages, before writing in pen and ink in stunning calligraphy. I then devoured a thesarus and produced some of the most insightful prose ever written.

My teacher maarked it and returned it to me- I was expecting an A or A* at the very least - I tunred the page and she had given me an A/B.

A/B???? Either is was an A or a B. Simple.

BUT to add insult to injusry- she added the comment 'did you have some help with this?'

I was outraged - how can you give me an A/B - on the assumption I didn't write it?????

Mrs Higgens, John COlet School, 1996 - I hated you then and I hate you still (she was the one with bad hair, bad teeth and looked like a hamster. Shit teacher as well)

If she is still out there.....

It surprises me
how many stories here mention teachers marking down students because they couldn't believe the student was capable of producing something of such quality alone. It says a lot about the teacher's attitude and arrogance.
