<p>My English teacher is nuts. She's half deaf, falls asleep while teaching us, and yells for no reason. Once, I asked her a doubt, and she told me to stop coughing and learn some manners. What the hell!?</p>
<p>My history teacher is convinced that everyone in class is moving around to mess with her. we don't have assigned seats, but everyone stays in the same spot. When she takes attendance, she announces that it must be "Crazy (day of the week)!", because we've all moved around. Then, when she finds whoever she's looking for, and they're EXACTLY where they've been for the whole term, she gets this look like the world is ending, and says, "(name)...you could've bitten me!".</p>
<p>so i didnt have any overly strange teachers until i met my physics teacher for this year..</p>
<p>its his first teaching job ever.. and all he ever talks about is star trek and he cracks jokes that no one else gets...</p>
<p>but he said hes going to let us watch a lot of movies so...</p>
<p>Haha!
Gosh I've had so many weird teachers.
My fifth grade teacher would cry like all the time. Especially in history. She would start talking about the Civil War and get really into it and then just start bawling about how sad it was. Also, she reads the same novels to her classes every year, but she still cries whenever one of the character dies.</p>
<p>This year I have a really weird english teacher that has this creepy smile, and he literally is ALWAYS smiling. I could totally see him turning out to be some psyco serial killer.</p>
<p>Oh yea. My ninth grade geometry teacher had a regular class right before her "TAG" class and when we came in she would always be crying. No joke. Plus she weighed around 300 pounds and always had like two dozen bottles of diet coke behind her desk. She also ran to the vending machine to drown out her sorrows during our class too.
Ouch My English teacher would kill me.</p>
<p>In fifth grade, I had a language teacher that told my class that we were mice, he was a boa constrictor, and when we weren't looking, he was going to gobble us up like at the zoo. He was quite serious, too. </p>
<p>My bio teacher this year doesn't shake hands with people he doesn't know very well and as he passes big buildings, he thinks of ways that terrorists could blow it up (so he avoids them).</p>
<p>My chem teacher was so dorky that on parents night, some of the parents couldn't stop laughing at him. (that was sad, but he wasn't very nice, so I don't sympathize all that much)</p>
<p>My 8th grade history teacher cried when she read us an exerpt from a newspaper article about watergate.</p>
<p>There's a youtube video of one of our school's english teachers screaming (no, really, she's screaming of the top of her lungs) about RUN-ONS and FRAGMENTS!!!!!!!!!! Lol, i just found it today, and it is THE funniest thing ever. Talk about obsessed.</p>
<p>my math teacher is definitely weird in her wording. She put us into groups aka "pods" and classmates are "podmates". Instead of using variables, she draws a scribble and calls it a "thingymajiggy". And when we were doing absolute values, instead of using x, she drew a house and said, "if the house is positive, its absolute value is a house. if its negative, its absolute value is a negative house." Yeah, we were trying really hard to stifle our laughter.</p>

My AP English teacher doesn't turn on the lights and doesn't use desks. We have lamps and couches in his class. He teaches barefoot and reverse cross legged (meditation style) from a meditation pillow on his desk.

<p>That sounds like a a certain English teacher, whom I've only met once personally, at our school. There are couches in the room, and the ceiling is painted with religious symbols and other stuff.</p>
<p>There was one awesome teacher I had who would slam his meterstick against a desk or the whiteboard to emphasize a point. One time, he broke the whiteboard by doing this, and excused it as "taxpayer dollars". He also occasionally wore these green capris with what looked like cows on them. He would compress lessons into a short time and give us the rest of the hour to talk.</p>
<p>Out of the teachers I have right now, a few could be said to be weird. There's one who interrupted the class to say "Birdie!" because a crane had landed outside. He also says random things like "I like paper", but he's still a good teacher, and he really knows the subject. Of course, there's also the orchestra teacher (my favorite teacher), but that's a whole 'nother story...</p>
<p>My Calculus 1-3 teacher in high school always wore the exact same shirt with the exact same pants with the exact same socks every day. I don't know if he had 10 pairs of identical shirts and pants or washed his clothes every day or what, but it's odd behavior either way. Also, no teacher or student had ever seen him eat or drink anything but coffee.</p>
<p>I suppose it isn't too weird since he had his PhD from NYU and was a math teacher. A lot of college math professors can be that way.</p>
<p>Oh, and I forgot the English teacher who couldn't spell "fruit". She would never assign homework, but would just ask, "Would you please do this for me?". She would give us days to play Scrabble so that she could grade our tests and homework, and she once accidentally gave a kid full credit for a question on a test he didn't answer. One time, we came upon the word "annals" in a book, but when she said it, she pronounced it "anals". We tried to correct her repeatedly, but she always said "No, I swear, it's anals!". The class was about to explode with laughter by this point, so she sent someone to look up the word in a dictionary, at which point the problem was resolved.</p>
<p>proletariat2: Yes it sounds like the same English teacher because IT IS the same English teacher. Mr. Read is amazing.</p>
<p>Who was the teacher with the meter stick? I know Sylvester did that with a dry erase marker...</p>
<p>do you have the link to your teacher screaming about runons adn fragments ?? cuz that would be AMAZING.</p>
<p>haha. these stories crack me up. i have a cool teacher who refers to himself as the "devil" of history and he is an iraq war veteran. hes pretty cool,and he lets this girl draw him dressed up in different costumes on teh wall. (ex., ballerina, superman, cheerleader suits). its rather amusing.</p>
