Nutcase professors at my University

There are so many nublet professors here in University of Hong Kong.
Me and my friend came to class late, may be that pissed this guy off or something.
In the middle of the class, my friend asked me a question about the hw, I replied him. Then the professor was like, "I am sorry Gentlemen, but I will have to ask you two to leave."
It was a huge WTF moment.
I also work as a TA in the department, so I have to see that nublet for another half year.

There's also another professor required us TA to help him proctor exams. Apparently I failed following his guidelines, so he sent a letter to every TA and my director about my failure.
Apparently that guy was known to stupid behaviors. He requires his TA to take picture in every TA session to have evidence of who shows up.
Jesus no wonder why the school is so sh!tty, these retarded so called professors just spent time on ridiculous minute things.

We have to do tutorial sessions that ends right before class, it's not like we want to be late.
Also we don't talk out loud. It was whispering of two sentences, and the guy freaked out like a crybaby.

You think that a professor is a nutcase for kicking you out for showing up late with your friend and then talking during his lecture, further disrupting his class?

Shens on you really thinking you have a point.

It was loud and long enough for him to hear you..... which means it was too loud and too long.

Well the prof that sent out the email to you, all the other TAs and staff is totally unprofessional, that's assuming he pointed you out specifically in the email.

As far as showing up late and talking...I've had profs that would one-way lock classroom doors (can still be opened from the inside so people can get out in case of fire) the second that the session time passed. Didn't give anyone a chance to show up late or talk in class....of course it sucked since he did use attendance as part of the grade and would often give pop quizzes. Dunno...start running to class faster.

true.

lord knows i have had a few bad ones.

but in this case? it was justified. he came to class late then started talking. if i was in the class i would be upset. I pay good money to learn not have idiotic rude kids come in late and talk.

Which is, of course, a crock of sh!t.

And those who can't teach, teach PE (like I may do if I get tired of Personal Training and don't decide to go into therapy).

Don't they usually run students over with tanks over in China? At least you can feel lucky that didn't happen.

I know plenty of counterexamples to that, especially ones who worked in industry for n years, made their money, then left for the easy teaching job.

You know you live in China right? Your country censors the internet and runs protesters over with tanks. You don't have basic human rights, and you expect your professor to give you some slack.
