I remember my math teacher leaving a remark under my test that read "Your chaotic and unorganized way of working is not to your benefit."

one of the few perks a teacher has:
messing with kids’ minds

and this one is good for ’em

That happened to me once but the teacher didn't say it out loud just hinted that I was wrong then I corrected it and she took my paper and said I passed lol

I do not miss one thing about school

Lol, once had a teacher look over my shoulder at my exam and sit down and try to help me. Then the following lecture have him declare to the class that he was frustrated that "one student" couldn't even yada yada.

Still better than holding up my math quiz (after being the first to hand it in) and dead-ass asking "What is this?" in front of the whole class.

I remember in second grade one of those handouts that you were supposed to follow the instructions of, with the first instruction being "read all instructions carefully before you do anything" followed by 18 increasingly ridiculous activities, and the last one being "ignore 2-18, turn this paper over, and sit quietly."

I was one of three kids that actually read the first instruction and followed it all the way down to the bottom. Everybody else looked like idiots LOL.

MAYBE the teacher had been getting more and more unsure of themself as they walked around realizing everyone else was doing it wrong, until they got to you who had read it correctly and gotten the right answer, using the correct method. So they now knew their exam was written fine but the others had made wrong assumptions instead of reading carefully.

I did say maybe.

I just did this last week during an Exam. We do want to help the student out sometimes, but it will be against the rules.

The twist was that you were doing it right. But now your confidence is shattered.

Or when they see a student changing an answer and tells the class to go with their first instinct.

I have to remember that one for exam season to mess with students.

I had a teacher who used to hand out test results starting from the lowest grade and before handing them out he used to look across the room like a shark in a paddling pool.
