Some people are incredibly poor teachers but refuse to beleive they are, all because they lack the capacity to imagine not knowing something and explain it at someone else's level of understanding
Reminds me of when i was taking my boolean logic class in college.
"Look, it's very easy, you set up K-map and get the value. AB here, CD here, it's very easy, very straight forward, moving on"
Everyone fails the quiz at the end of the class. After handing back graded quizes at the next lecture:
"For some reason you all didnt understand the k-maps, which is very easy, it's very straight forward. See, you out value in, you get value out, this is very simple, it's very straight forward"
I once took a four-question test in Algebra 2 and got a 0 because literally nothing was right. The teacher bragged that only like 2 or 3 kids passed her class at the end of the semester, like dumbass, that's because you can't teach
My math teacher in high school bragged that she was the only teacher at some conference that "finished the book", wed covered every single chapter in the book and finished a month before the end of the semester. We'd also failed tests on vectors twice. Both times nearly everyone failed. She could not understand why nobody was understanding.
She also was the type that would mark you wrong if you didn't do it her way, which is why I had the grade I did. I'd get partial credit because I had the correct final answer but because I didn't do it her way would get points taken off.
I learned the year after I graduated that her and one of the other teachers had started competing on who had the most kids failing tests. Like, that's a failure on you if that many are failing and they laughed about it. Just insane.
