Ok, I had many. Because I went to a private school where teachers are all french, and I mean French from France not from Canada. They got some odd personnalities. One teacher used to throw his shoe at students who wouldn't stop talking, throw his chalk also. A math teacher used to wear bodysuits to class (VOMIT) and I think he was gay. He beat up some student that stood up to him this one time. Ummmm.....to many cases to list for me....

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I had a teacher who refused to answer any questions during office hours. It was a Ochem lab, I got a D, and decided not to retake it because he was the only one who taught it.

I also once had a prof who thought she was reincarnated from a spider, she told ppl this and even believed that it gave her powers.



The were both wack jobs.

I dont have any loony teachers, but becuase I live in such a small town/large village the teahcers are like friends with the students. One of the PE teachers is 6' something (really tall) and weighs well over 200 pounds, he's all muscle. He likes to pick on one of the kids thats built for his age, he'll pick him up in one arm and start walking or he'll lift him off the ground and pin him to a wall, its hilarious. One of the physical science teachers is also the wrestling coach, he'll put kids in head locks and talk to them about getting caught up in class or about wrestling. I also had a teacher last year that would throw the dry-erase markers at the girls that talked to much (she always missed and hit someone else)

Yes. My 7th & 8th grade art teacher. She threatened to claw my eyes out once, accused me of playing footsie with my lab partner (a guy) and generaly ranted at me for no good reason. Up to that point in my life, art was one of my absolutely favortie subjects. I didn't take another art class for about seven years, and never considered it seriously again.

How Ironic that my career now revolves around art. I awals have thought if I ever won an art award, I would talk about Mrs. Freak (yes, her real name) as the teacher who almost ruined my life. She was the teacher that had the greatest impact on me up until college, all negative.

I frequently wonder how different things might have been had I taken any art/design in high school.

My junior high math teacher had flashbacks to Vietnam during class. He totally freaked out. When a pencil hit the ground, he thought it was a grenade. He had everybody hide under their desk because he thought VC were coming down the hallway.

He did a lot of other crazy stuff too, but after it all, I have to admit that he was a solid math teacher. I learned a lot in his class.

My 9th-grade computer teacher wasn't a lunatic but I'm convinced there was something seriously wrong with him. The first two-hour lesson consisted entirely of him teaching us how to switch the computer on and off... Slowly, methodically and pausing for questions, and if we did something else while he showed one of the slower people something he'd shout at us for not... well... I guess just sitting still and staring at our screens.

Lucky he was so easy to fool though.

I had one teacher who developed a personal vendetta against me. The irony is that I was one of her better students the year before. She had been known for deliberately hasselling her best students and lowering their grades so that they would have to write her final exam and then she would get a higher average for her class. She would often give her struggling students just enough so that they would not have to write.

Anyway, she picked me to be her 'mark' after I wanted top go on a field trip and miss about a week of class. I had good marks, and I offered to do the work ahead of time. She said no, I went to the principal and she then tried to make that term for me as awful as possible.

She used to punish the kids by making them stay an hour after school if they left something in their locker.

Anyway, I kept doing well on her exams which were not subjective, she was a French teacher, so she had to really lower all of my writing scores. By the end of the term to give me 0.1 % percent below the level to which I would not have to write the exam, she cobbled a mark sheet that made our big exam of the term worth 1% of my term mark, and these little writing assignments worth more than half. My principal compared the maksheet with the other students and found that it was not even close.

I had no idea what was going on at the time, so I was really concerned about why my mark seemd to drop so low. She even gave me a failure mark for my workhabits which would prevent me from getting an 800$ scholarship when I graduated.

After I did graduate, I had an odd temptation to send her my transcript which showed that I completed an honours French course, the hardest program that I could do in my hometown. She predicted I would fail and enjoyed telling me this as often as possible.

...not for the easily offended... apologies to those who read it anyway, and face it, you have to read it now

At one point in high school, we had a teacher who introduced a Danish poem to the class and it wasn't exactly the most gifted class that has seen the light of day. Among other things, the poem described spit coming out of trumpets.

He really tried all he could to acheive some basic level of understanding the symbolism, but he ultimately failed. When the bell rang, the frustrated teacher gave up and said resigned but in a loud voice: Oh, hell, the whole thing is a metaphor and those trumpets are really some pretty huge dicks ejaculating all over the place!

It's amazing what poetry can become when you break it down a little bit. And the looks on the faces of young and sexually insecure high school students were priceless as well. Best Danish teacher I ever had

In my first quarter in college I had a real wack-job. The class was Western Civilization and it began with a study of the ancient Middle East. The guy was an actual worshipper of the ancient god El-Elyon. We all got a pretty weird instruction on ancient gods in that region and spent way to much time on the subject. That guy was really strange. It was an interesting introduction to the college intelligensia as well.

I had one once.. our math teacher. He was very intelligent guy, extremely good at math, but he was not right in the head. He had anger managment problems, I mean serious ones. Students were afraid of him when he got mad, I mean seriously afraid. He had few warnings already that he must take care of it or he's out.

Once in a bus, on the way home, the bus driver drove pass his stop, and he pulled a carpet knife and started shouting to the driver. Needless to say he stopped the bus, and backed all the way back to the stop fast.

Got spare money?

I had a swedish-teacher when I was in the Gymnasium (grade 10-12) that was quite unstable.

At one time she was walking around in the classroom, talking about some author or so. One guy, that was something of the class-joker, gave the teacher his text book as she walked by. The teacher just tolk it and keept talking. The guy then started to take books from others in the class that sat close to him and gave to the teacher. She just continued talking. He keept doing this until she carried about 8-10 books around. As the hour came to an end she stopped talking and everyone started to pick up their things, ready to leave for another class. At this time the teacher noticed the books and asked: "What kind of books are these? Whose are they?!" The people that had given their books to the joker raised their hands. "You need these, why do I have them?" the teacher said and gave back the books.
