Crazy teachers

Describe any crazy teachers you have had. No need to use names, of course. When I was in high school, I had a teacher who would carry a yardstick around while lecturing. He would pretend to play golf with it and would slam it down on people's desks if they weren't paying attention. I know, that's not really crazy, but it's about as crazy as you get at a fundamental Baptist high school.

Teahcher 1: She would make a habit of getting down on here knees and banging the desk shouting "Yous never do any Friggin work". (Yes she really did say friggin). This was quite hilarious.

Teacher 2: She would ask in a nice polite voice "may I borrow your book", she would then bang the book on my desk and shout "Shut Up the Lot of ye's" then hand the book back politely. She also always stood in the back right hand corner of the room and shout. And then after a while she just gave up teaching us for a while.

Teachers are a strange specimen

I had a yard stick teacher too. He used to slam it on desks and also aim for student's fingers if they were turned around and not listening.

Once he wanted us to bring some paper home to get it signed, and the next day he told all the people who forgot to get up, made them go in a room and started screaming at them. I was in the room beside since I did not forget it, and I was still scared.

Interesting, I work in Fine Arts at UT - Austin. What is your area? Where do you lecture?

I had a teacher that could'nt control the class. He let everyone step all over him. I really felt sorry for him and he really took a beating from them.

most teachers at my school were like that. People were not bad in terms of being brats. (high school is not really like that). But in terms of handing out stuff on time, no one did it, and teachers just said "oh no problem, just hand it by next week otherwise then I'll do something" and it would go on for months.

I had a teacher in junior high that kept insisting on calling me Mandy, instead of my name which is Mindy. God I used to get so annoyed and everyone would laugh, Even when she would give me detention for goofing off she would spell my name wrong.

She was pretty wierd, you just have to wonder sometimes where they get some of these teachers.
