My math teacher one year made a rule that if you skipped more than 3 problems on the homework you got a zero on it. This was because she was assigning 80-100 problems a night and I had only been completing just doing enough to get a passing grade because I didn't have an hour to spend just on math every night.

Had a similar issue with a science teacher, we had to copy down several pages of words and their definitions every single night. Made me hate science when I'd normally love it. I just refused to do it and failed the class. Explained to my parents why I failed and they were shockingly understandable about it.
