I have a complaint about a teacher named Ann Loeffler.
She once called a Black girl ugly after the girl expressed that she felt uncomfortable with a male teacher commenting on how "beautiful" she was. I don't care if someone tries to frame that as a compliment -- he had no business saying that to an underage student. Instead of listening to the student's discomfort, this teacher seemed intent on putting her down, which is disturbing and inappropriate behavior from a grown adult.
She also warned the girl to "be careful what you say," implying the male teacher could get in trouble. That response felt more focused on protecting him than respecting a student's boundaries.
I also had negative experiences with her personally. She once berated me in class for refusing to participate in games she was running that had nothing to do with the Spanish course material. The reaction felt unnecessarily harsh and condescending. Moments like that show a lot about a person's character -- especially how they respond when a student simply says no.
I also noticed that she was often particularly rude and dismissive toward Black female students. Overall, she came across as extremely condescending and at times racially insensitive.
The dynamic often felt like she enjoyed having authority over students rather than genuinely supporting them. That kind of environment makes it hard to feel respected or safe in a classroom.
For these reasons, she stands out as one of the worst teachers I've personally had. read more
