Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word "crap". I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.

It is fairly mild and not a big deal, but most people probably wouldn't want their 5 year old daughter saying it to their great aunt Mary.

It's definitely not mild enough for a 14 year old to say in front of their teacher at school.
