Post about any crazy teachers you have (or had).

I've had quite a few:

I have an extremely biased Comparative Gov't/Politics teacher, Miss Vergara. She often speaks in spanish and talks about her two sons ALL the time. She's also very strict. And you can't argue with her, she'll send you outside. She's also the spitting image of Ursula from the Little Mermiad. Except Mexican. And not an octopus.

Mr Murray, my latin teacher is so random and just... weird. He jokes around alot, speaks in a soft monotone and is almost always innapropriate. We learn about everything but latin in that class. Like how the heart works, or Pennsylvania real estate law. Used to be a lawyer. Also adopted a son from Russia.

Mr Laffey, my english teacher, is similar to Mr Murray, but to a lesser extreme and doesn't speak monotonously. He constantly picks on students, and often makes very inappropriate comments. Once taught at an all-boys school in New Orleans.

Miss Brown, the creative writing teacher must be on crack or something... She's very calm, and very hippie like. She saw the green man wink at her once. There was a crazy woman that randomly showed up at her work a long time ago and was like "I baked/made you a muffin/salad/bowl-o'-soup" who later poisoned her food at a christmas dinner. When she went home she swore there were mynxes running on her ceiling and hiding in her bed and stuff so she called animal control. One of her friends was a police officer and she saw him a week later at a grocery store and he said she was completely stoned. We did virtually nothing in that class. She would even bring in coffee for us occasionally. One time she even made pancakes for no reason. That's pretty much Miss Brown in a nutshell.

Miss Bieryla was my sexist geometry teacher.

Miss Garren was my old math teacher who was as blind as a bat and she'd give people who didn't turn in work a perfect score on their report cards (i.e. me), and would yell at people who were actually doing their work because she was as blind as a bat. My grandma was friends with her so i was her favorite student. I still shudder when i think about the 'order of operations dance' that she did... she was a very creepy old woman... She also didn't know how to log in to a computer.

Mr Richards, the band director, is an asshole. He would throw things at us from the roof during marching band rehearsals. He would also change many things at the last second, most notably what times we show up to get ready for competitions. Once again, he is a complete jerk. Which is why I quit band before inbetween middle and high school. I joined the colorguard to spin flags instead. Every year he says he's going to quit, but he never does... I still have no idea how he got a fiancee...

Lastly, Miss Kiggins, the debate teacher. She's not so much crazy as she is amazing. Definitely dresses the best out of every teacher at the school. Dyes and spikes her hair, even had a mohawk last year. She's also the sponsor for our school's Gay-Straight Alliance. She's just amazing. She often teases people, and loves sarcasm, irony, and satire. She has an Edgar Allen Poe action figure.
 
That's quite a lot.

I only remember one crazy teacher and that was my English teacher during 11th grade. I had transferred from Advanced Placement to just a regular English class (since I couldn't stand the other teacher who acted like he was a damn professor) and surprise surprise. I forgot his name, but it doesn't matter anyway. So what made this particular teacher crazy? Well, for one, I seriously think he really was. He had some uh drugs stashed inside his desk (it was pretty entertaining to watch the security dogs that came to our school and sniff the classroom and a bunch of students laughing at the situation) and the students in his class were just making fun of him, never taking him seriously. He was a really old guy - about 60 years old and always talked about "the one who got away" - his dream girl. -.-

He let us watch American History X (which we were not supposed to watch) and I did not learn a single thing in that class. It was a very easy class but I got a C in it because I never did take it seriously. Actually I never did understood why I earned that grade - all we did was read, read, read and no essays or anything. Heck, I did better in Advance Placement, and to this day I regret the fact that I had switched over to his class.

In a way I felt sorry for him. I never did understood why he didn't get in trouble or fired - perhaps the students never spoke up about his odd behavior and actions. He literally was just crazy, to be honest.
 
Funny this topic has been brought up; I have a Physics teacher than more loony than Murdoch from The A-Team. When hes trying to think of a word he make a LOUD rasping noise. Whenever the room gets too quiet, he starts to sing random 50s to 80s songs ranging from: 'Rolling Rolling Rolling' to 'Hotel California', and he sings them.....out loud. He calls graphs..Giraffes, he calls the Whiteboard a Lion, he calls the pupils Wigs...and yeah, I could go on and on. Seriously, hes a good teacher and all....but crazy as shit.

Now there's my Chemistry teacher...he can't speak fluent English and never speaks Plural. 'Now zis atom has many Proton and Neutron in Nucleus, ya?' 'This is correct?'
He always ends his statements with the latter.....

Then there's my Economics teacher....hes 6''5, and laughs like a horse. Whenever he says something wrong, he slaps himself in the face three times. If hes in the way of the whiteboard, he leaps outta the way, and ends up smashing into a table and falling over, or look rather gimp.
 
My humanities professor slept in the nude...without blankets. Just a naked body on top of a mattress. His reasoning:

"My skin is very sensitive to most materials."

"I don't like having erections with clothing on." Being prone to getting erections while sleeping, he wasn't comfortable wearing pajamas...or anything.

Confusing? Yeah, I think so. I dropped that class a quarter through the semester.
 
My English teacher in high school likes throwing stuff at students who get the wrong answer. He's thrown white board markers, the eraser, a spoon, a fork (I know; don't ask), a stapler, and probably several other things that you can put on your desk. This never happened in my class, but I was told he takes cold water from someone's water bottle or cold coffee and pours it on students' heads for misbehaving or saying something stupid. Apparently, it seems he likes picking on random students, but a more experienced and older teacher suggests he picks on people he thinks knows the answer. But apparently, he knows about seven languages and taught Japanese at some time before, uses a mac computer and runs a lab of mac computers at my school. He also likes to suggest there are sexual connotations in short stories or poems which seem innocent to the average reader.

My math teacher in my last year of high school likes making students sit at the front of the classroom, even though some people are afraid of him. Like the above teacher, he "randomly" picks on students, and if they get the question wrong, he'll ask a simpler question related to the problem he first posed (ie, what's 1 + (-1)?) and repeat them until the student finds out what he got wrong. In his last year of teaching, I remember he made fun of this student by saying he'd rather buy a bridge from another student than from him. But he was really good, and taught the entire normal curriculum in half a year, and then spent the next half on calculus. Although that's probably because he taught two periods. If you're late, he'll send you to the cafeteria to do some work. If you're outside his classroom causing trouble, he'll do the same thing. He complains about how Windows is inferior to Macs. Then we had some extra classes at the end of the year because he finished early, so he taught us ballroom dancing for free.

I had a Russian geometry professor (http://www.ams.org/distribution/mmj/vol7-2-2007/khovanskii-birthday.html ja, that's him alright.) who was so enthusiastic about his lecture one time that he spoke entirely too loudly, and the professor next door came over and told us to be more quiet--the only person making all that noise was my professor though. He was very nice though. He said he wanted us all to do well (which is rare for a university professor), and when the average of our midterms was only 55%, he said he'd bump our marks up. The average at the end of it all was 70%, which is a lot considering the difficulty level of the course we were in.

I also had several math professors who were almost as enthusiastic as the guy above; one of my friends describes their lecturing as a math opera.

I also had a classics/Latin teacher once who had a nice sense of humor, and he taught us well too. He had a habit of saying "Oops, minus three for me" everytime he made a mistake. I also had another Latin teacher with a nice sense of humor--he couldn't say "poopdeck" without laughing.
 
Mrs Nuttall: RE teacher, loved me. However she was strict with alot of people and had a dream Jesus was sat in her apple tree throwing apples at her! She was fab, shes retired now.

Mr Farrell: French teacher, loved Manchester United. If you were a fan, no homework when they played matches. If you werent a fan, then extra homework for you! And parents didnt complain as they had been taught by him and it was always a rule lol!
 
I have an English Literature teacher at college whom everyone despises. She just sucks. In one fun lesson (it was last lesson before Christmas) - with the other English Lit teacher (we have two) - we had to draw a teacher in a Santa outfit. We drew the other English Literature teacher as a dragon :wacky:

She's just so...up her own arse, and shrill. She got locked out of the classroom one lesson because everyone hates her that much :wacky: I've heard that over half the class is planning on dropping English Lit in the second year because of her. Phail.
 
My current global history teacher is so, so over-enthusiastic. She's always extremely corny and giggles in a really weired manner when she acts as such. When someone asks a question of any sort, she'll respond "GREAT question, __!" and praises people like crazy when they do homework well. She's just really cheerful about everything and speaks "kiddie talk" to the students.

Isn't that good? Other than the 'kiddie talk' that is.

Hm. I guess my English language teacher could be classified as crazy. Or at least, eccentric. Its interesting, she has serious mood swings at times.

Sometimes, wow, she all so sweet, smiling.. Homework not done? Its okay...

Sometimes... Boom. Flare up, eruption! Critical hit! Scream till basically the next few classes can hear her loud and clear.

And to think others have seen her performance with other students and noted that she had helped them well. I didn't really think much of it anyway....

Plus. She's an apparent sexist... To the girls, that is. Often, she comments on how bad us guys are.. How we should do this, how we should do that. At those times, I'd be glad to hurl a vulgarity or two, but who cares about that?

She's Crazy. And thats already registered nicely in my brain.

Well, in some ways. The first few weeks I didn't mind it at all, but after a while it got a bit annoying, yet funny at the same time.

She'll tell you you're doing great when you ask her how you're doing in the class, but then when she hands out report cards, you may be surprised. She sugar coats everything but your actual grades, and it's really misleading. XD

I had a sexist math teacher, once. He was a guy, but he picked on the guys. He treated the girls nicely and let them use the restroom (which, where I live, most teachers will deny you >.<;;). He acted a little pervy, tbh.
 
My Property law professor spends about 3/4's of our allotted two hour class talking about Global Warming, and how by 2012 we will all be dead anyway so that property law won't matter.

I will be the first to agree that Global Warming is a big deal, and that changes need to be made to avoid some pretty harsh consequences. However, I fear that I am going to leave class without the basic tenants of property law.

Plus if I am really gonna be six feet under by 2012 I am not gonna spend any more time sitting in that class

D4D
 
I have this one teacher who is just an absolute moron...there is no other way to explain it. For example he gave us an entire 55 minute period to read TWO pages in our text books. That's right...two. The next day he gave us another half hour. A few classes later another 15 minutes..and a few classes later he said he wanted to 'start the class off by having everyone read pages 96 and 97'. When someone said we'd already read it he went 'no no, we didn't have time. We also spend most of our time watching videos which he never sets up before class so he spends half of the time fiddling with the computer. He also never tells us how the videos have anything to do with what we are studying at the time....like the one with clips of transexual porn (teehee, there was a tour walking by and he left the door open)

He also never had any idea what he is talking about. We wee talking about groupthink and he asks "What do you think would have happened if a german citizen had spoken up about what was going on in Nazi Germany because he disagreed with it?'
We, as a class, were like "Well...he's probably be killed"
He goes "No, no, no. Nothing like that, he MIGHT go to jail but the point here is that he would be socially excluded."

The entire class was just staring at him...I was like "you need to go talk to the history teacher..like...right now"
 
Ahaha! Teachers. While I had a lot of funny memories with some, nothing tops my crazy science professor. During my sophomore year of college I had a crazy smart teacher but he was insane. As brilliant as he is, we (the class) couldn't help but laugh at him sometimes. That man would usually spaz out in the middle of class. He's from Brooklyn so he does amazingly weird things. You just have to be there to see him lose his mind in the middle of class. The man talks to himself, beats himself up and other random lol worthy things. How do I get stuck with these teachers...?

Hahahaha, yours sounds pretty insane, I don't think I've ever seen a teacher that crazy..mine is just moronic. Mine was the same guy who I went in for parent teacher conferences and when me him and my gram sat down he goes 'She's doing really well in economics' (he teaches my sociology class) and we were just like 'I don't take that class' and he goes 'Oh sorry, well regardless her economics grade is really good. He went on like that for half an hour...>_>

Did you ever become friends with your teachers/professors? I have and it's like they are a totally different person outside the school.
 
Oh yeah, deffinately. Well, I go to a boarding school (even though I am a day student I am there on an average..about 15 hours out of my day) and I am a prefect so it would be hard NOT to get to know some of them better. There are some of my teachers I absolutely love like the house directors in my dorm and a few others.

Just not my soc teacher....>_>
 
Yeah I do have alot actually. Well let me start.

Miss Strongilos: My english teacher is just freakin on crack or something she gives an essay every week. She always makes them due a week after she assigns them. Oh another thing is shes got no boobs at all.

Mr Hogan: Omg I hate him the most hes such a bitch. He gives Math tests every freakin week. He begins to piss me off really bad. Hes the most fucking stupid teacher ever. Oh another thing he always says please at the end of every sentence. Oh another thing is sleping gas comes out of his mouth everytime he tals. I fall asleep every single class.

Miss Funaro: Omg my history teacher is one of the most weird teachers ever. She talks for 75 mins each period which means we learn nothing at all. Oh and once someone shot a chalk at her and she blamed me for it.

Miss Bellon: My science teacher is actually a funny girl. Ok she has G sized boobs (Yes there very big) She makes jokes sometimes but shes quite a bitch sometimes. Oh also I used to hug her alot because she was hot lol. I do not really do it that much anymore. Oh I bumped into her in the hallway once and I touched her boobs by accident and she was like "Oh my why did you do that for". Lol I did not get in trouble for it.

Miss Vaughn: Ok shes the best teacher ever. She lets us do whatever we want as long as we follow her rules. Which means I get to go on FFF during her class. Yay for me. She<s my Media teacher and shes great. We make movies and everything on the mac computers. But heres a word for you Do not fuck with her equipment.

Well thats it for now.

It must be nice to have more than one decent teacher. I sure would love to have some normal teachers to talk to. Sheesh, it's no wonder I turned out to be such a garbled mess.

Haha yeah...most of our dorm "prefect meetings" consist of our house directors and prefect sitting in one of the directors apartments eatching pizza and popcorn while watching the newest episode of Bones while discussing "house issues" during the comercials....It helps take the edge off of school:)

Unless of course you have a 10 page psych paper due on friday that you thought was due next week and you have no time because you have play rehearsals all week because you perform on friday....*get's back to work* frickin' psych...

Ohh wow! I'm sorry for that. Looks like you'll be quite busy this week. I won't disturb you any longer. Good luck and Godspeed!
