Your Weirdest Teacher

I will never forget my home ec teacher in 7th grade. From the time I was in 5th grade I heard rumors that at one point she had a nervous break down. Whether or not the rumors were true, this lady was loopy! She was constantly saying things that weren't true. Just simple things like the stats on teenage pregnancy. Often she would misplace our homework so we all got 100. After the first of the year we figured this out and just stopped turning in our work. She would think she had lost it so we would all get 100s. It was great! Needless to say I didn't learn much in that class. Have you had any really weird teachers?

Yes, I had a teacher in high school who was different than any of our other teachers. Notice, I did not say "wierd". Perhaps, that word applies, but I can not bring myself to use that word because while this teacher was different, she was a very good teacher. How different? She was 5 foot 2 inches tall, 300 lbs, and stronger than any of the boys brave enough to arm wrestle her! That's right, she would arm wrestle the guys and beat them. That is, until the word got around and none of the guys would take her on anymore. How did this happen? One day a bunch of the guys were sitting in class waiting for the starting bell to ring and with nothing else to do, were arm wrestling. Our teacher came in and watched. She took note of who was winning the most and challenged him! Of course, he tried to beg off. Of course, all the other guys called him chicken, made clucking noises like a chicken and all the other things guys do to tease each other. What could he do? He accepted the challenge to arm wrestle and was beaten easily. After beating 2 more guys in the next week, no one else ever challenged her again!

Cat - Longhair persian cat
That would be the math teacher Mr. Owens in 5th and 6th grade. He called numbers cats and would illustrate problems on the board. You got this cat here and that cat over there. If you put them together what do you have? If you answered correctly...a number, he would say, "Mercy NO! You got cat babies!" He was really funny and most paid attention in his class.

The weirdest one I had was the maths teacher we had in our final grade. He was just odd. The one thing the really stuck in my mind was his insistence that his mongrel was a dachshund, even though the thing had legs like a race horse. Despite obvious evidence he chose to go the other route.

I responded to your worst/best teacher questions. My post to this one is the same teacher as the worst. He was very weird, and the littlest thing would set him off. One day a student asked a question. The teacher didn't know the answer. They stood nose-to-nose (literally!!!) and the teacher screamed at him. The boy finally yelled right back at him, (and I will never forget this as long as I live!) "You know what? You've got the longest nose I've ever seen in my life!" And he ran from the room. As he was running, the teacher heaved a math textbook at him, but thankfully, he missed. The teacher ended up having a nervous breakdown, and the school let him go!!

OhI have had a few of those. We had one who was crazy about garlic and always smelled of it. She used to take 10 minutes every class to tell us about a new garlicrecepie that she had tried the night before *lol* Another one was kind of the one you told about, however she misplaced the tests and would have us re-do them!

yes i too had a wierd teacher in my school,he would always keep his eyes on girls skirts and would touch small girls here and there and not only this he would flirt with his fellow teachers too.while passing by he would make sarcastic and flirtious noices that any decent girl would feel bad. We tried complaining about him to our principal but then he used to threat us that he will deduct our marks in exams. good that i am out of school but i pitty the other girls who suffered.

I have teacher which like to weep, though he is a man. He is a biological teacher. Just because small problem can make he cry. He cried because he loves his pupils, he said. What a freak teacher... Making his pupils always luring him. My deep apologize... my teacher
