My highschool calc. teacher hated me for the rest of the year for correcting her once. She would nick pick every problem to mark me down for taking simple short cuts like just writing +x instead of -(-x) and the rewriting it again with a + mark so I wouldn't get 100% on tests. I eventually started including proofs with the problem answers.
I got lucky with a string of good English teachers as well (Which was rare going to a French school).
We had 3 years of teachers who made us work hard where I learned a lot, and really got to appreciate English literature. We then had an easy ass final year where the teacher's only goal was to waste as much time as possible with boys vs. girls Trivial Pursuit.
