4. This teacher marked their student's answer as wrong because they put a checkmark instead of a cross mark.

5. This teacher never gives out a full 100% on any assignment, so they come up with interesting percentage marks.

8. This teacher gave their cellphone number to students, just in case they had a question after school, but refused to answer:

9. This teacher provided "All the Above" as an answer — which was correct — but then marked the student as incorrect when they didn't circle every individual choice instead.
