I had a high school teacher tell me I would "never make it" in life and would not graduate college because I was getting a C in her class. (chemistry, at a magnet school where I was in the most advanced classes, by the way.) I think we can safely say the joke's on her, the bitch.

In middle school I was failing science. My teacher called a one on one meeting with my parents to discuss this. I was present in the meeting and though they didn't realize it, I overheard my teacher telling my parents that they shouldn't worry about me. She said, "Steven may never be a scholar, but he will certainly be a successful salesman, he can talk his way in and out of anything." -true enough.
