Has a teacher ever made you cry?

No but if a teacher said that about a friend of mine I'd say something back without thinking

I was made to cry by teachers twice, but I only ever recount the first time (because the second was entirely my fault; had less to do with the teacher). In 7th grade, we were reviewing for an upcoming quiz in science and I didn't have a solid grasp on the material. The teacher, who was new that year, was calling on people randomly to answer questions about the subject, and inevitably she called and me and I didn't know the answer nor could I find it in my notes. Despite expressing this multiple times, she persisted until I started crying, at which point she tried for a little longer before giving up and moving on. She was hardly apologetic afterwards, but she did ask me about it.

As for other people, I can't recall a teacher making anyone cry in class since 6th grade.

Well, on my last official school day my english teacher (who is my favourite teacher) told me that I need to keep in contact with her via email and tell her how I'm doing in my A levels next year and that made me tear up a bit just because it was so nice that she genuinely cared.

[Unknwn]

It's kinda dumb now that I think about it, but I can remember crying like on my first week of high school because of my P.E. class. The teacher told us we needed to have our P.E. uniforms on and gave us until the end of the week to have them. The thing is, I didn't have any money to buy the uniform for myself and so I had to wait until Friday so my dad could come to the school and buy them for me. The teacher told us that for every day we didn't have our uniforms he would take points off. Being the huge nerd I am, I got really scared that I would fail P.E. or get in trouble or something. He isolated all of us who didn't have our uniforms and basically just made us watch those who did have their uniforms. Eventually he did let us do P.E. stuff though. Anyways, while I do remember trying to hold the tears in because I didn't want to be seen crying on like the first week of school, I definitely did tear up silently while running laps lol.
I've always hated P.E. class since elementary school lol and this did not help to help me rethink this hatred XD

When I was 10, at PE class. Some classmates and I were playing with the wall bars , we werent listening to our teacher. So , this h*e grounded us : we spent the whole hour hanging from the wall bars , I was getting really tired , and I started to cry.
I failed PE that term... Lol

When I was 11 I had very long hair and the teacher called me a wild mountain girl in front of the whole class . I was so upset I cried and went home and asked to have my hair cut short. I now have let it grow out again and almost to my bum again.

When I was in the 6th Grade my English Teacher must have been in a pissy mood. She really didn't make a snotty/rude comment to me, but I had to use the bathroom and she would not allow me to go. The pain of having to go worse as the class went on so I asks her again and she said No. The problem that made me cry wasn't that she said no it was because she chuckled after she said No and seemed to be getting enjoyment from seeing that I had to use the bathroom and she wouldn't let me go. So the pain to have to go got really bad and I started to cry. It didn't seem to affect her much as she kept on giving the lesson. I finally just got up out of my seat and left the room with permission and used the bathroom. Instead of coming back to the class after using the batroom I went to the Principals office and told one of the Assistant Principals what happened. He gave me a hall pass to go back to class and an wrote a note to the teacher. I think she got a talking to by the Assistant Principal for doing what she did. The teacher the rest of the year was always nice to me.

[xXl0sth0peXx]

Not exactly full on tears per de, but to the point where I could have cried and/or got 'cry eyes' sure. It's never usually anything specific, but just because I'm easily taken aback by people with more aggressive personalities, so someone can just say something and their tone is strong, and while they don't mean it to be harsh, that's how my body interpretats it.

[SethfromMI]

no teacher has ever made me cry nor could I ever see them being able to

[Stronk Serb]

No, I have some nice teachers, but there are some who would like to see me kneel and cry. Too bad, I cried out my tears long ago.

[BlueFoot]

One of my classmates did something embarrassing last Monday and didn't show up to school until Friday. On Thursday the teacher was taking the attendance and said "[student's name] still isn't here. Probably killed himself over his embarrassment. Hahaha."
And I really felt bad for the student, so when the teacher said that I burst out crying and told him not to say stuff like that. (Might seem like an overreaction but the teacher's tone while saying it had a lot to do with it. Plus it wasn't the first time while the kid was away that he made a joke about him.)

Has a teacher ever done/said anything to make you or anyone you know cry?

No but I did tell a teacher off for being rude to me. freaking dick head he was

In seventh grade, I once forgot to bring my drawing kit and there was some project to be given that day which was in the kit. We had been told to bring it ages ago and that we would be punished otherwise but somehow I forgot. It was probably the first time I wat forgetting to bring something important. I totally didn't want to get that punishment because it would break my record of the year(I don't remember exactly but it was something weird like that). I tried to access all the phones I knew of in school but the teachers just didn't allow it. I was getting frustrating and panicky. I didn't expect anyone to help me out because some of my of teachers who I was sure would help me had directly refused, some had turned away and ignored me. It just seemed so unjust and cruel at that time, I couldn't believe some of my best teachers would do this and I had lost hope that I would be able to get through to my dad that I was almost reduced to tears. Then I ran into an old teacher and told her everything. Wordlessly, she handed me over her personal phone. That act of kindness struck me deep in the heart. I started crying then and she stood there patiently all the while it took to comfort me and let me dial my dad's number. I got the kit and escaped the punishment thereby keeping that record straight but that incident affected me very deeply and i learnt quite a few lessons that day, better than any punishment could teach me.

[Dying Ember]

Yeah, a number of times. I've had three consecutive lessons where my music teacher made me cry, before that it was because the pe teacher was being horrible to my best friend, there was an incident with the drama teacher too. I think those are the main ones but there's been many other times

[Kacey]

No teacher has ever made me break down, but classes have. I just get overwhelmed once in a while...

[WintersuN]

If something like that was to happen we'd all just suck it up and get back to work.

[acidjoe]

A teacher did, one time haha. I was very stressed, let's just leave it at that.

[fairmaiden]

Yep.

[liptonlee]

once, but usually for me it's the other way round

[Skyes]

I don't exactly remember what happened, but I cried when I was 12 talking to this teacher after my anxiety wouldn't let up after being forced to talk to them for like 15 minutes

[Snowfall]

Oh yeah. I was bullied by my seventh grade math teacher because I got one question wrong once (overreaction, I know, but I was going through an extremely tough time then, and pissing her off was an extremely bad idea) and this pretty much lasted the entire academic year, but the lowest point was one day that she pretty much swore to not teach me anything at all and refused to answer any question I had, completely ignoring me while plainly answering everyone else's questions without much of a trace that she was even noticing me.

[Jaffe]

I hate to admit it, but yeah. I was in 8th grade, first day of class. The teacher didn't know how to say my name, which is rather a common problem. I told him how to say it. Under his breath, he muttered "Damned immigrants, why do let them all in here anyway?". He thought I didn't hear, but I did. I was in a major depressive episode at the time, and was lucky to even be able to be at school, and I immediately (yeah, even in 8th grade), started to cry. I'm not an immigrant, nor an illegal. I'm a foreign national. Legally, a big difference. In bigoted people's minds, no difference at all.
I tried to hide my tears, but the bullies picked up on it right away, of course. That just added to all the stuff they picked on me for anyway.

Oh, I hope this teacher was fired or at least punished after what he said?

[Jaffe]

Oh, I hope this teacher was fired or at least punished after what he said?

I dont think so. I never told anybody. Except my therapist, a long time later, and now all of you here. He should have been fired, yes. But I didnt want to attract any more attention, or to talk about it, or to have to think about it, and was afraid that if I said anything, everything about me would become public. It was my last year of Middle School, so I did nothing and just waited the year out to get out.

I know, I was a wimp. No courage at all in this head, even now. I am definitely a fly-under-the-radar guy, even if that lets people get away with stuff.

[Melodic]

I've had really bad teachers because learning never came easy to me like to the other students. Usually I never cried in front of them except when I was a little thing, but definitely did when I got home.

[Abyssal Echo]

Nope. Its never happened to me

[ally-mai]

Nothing for emotional reasons (a teacher shouted at my class whilst standing right next to me and he gave me a headache so the headache ended up making me cry), but a teacher at my school told a year 7 (11 year old) that Santa wasn't real and they burst out crying. 😕

[Fraidy Cat]

I've cried in class many times, but a teacher has never directly made me cry.

[david123445]

One time in like 6th grade this teacher made me cry because he yelled at us at the top of his lungs lol looking back I was a little over reacting
