In high school, the brand new English teacher who was so "happy" to be teaching had an emotional breakdown and left the school crying in the middle of a class. Needless to say, she didn't return for a second year.

In my Algebra 2 class back in high school, our class couldn't answer a question, and this teacher (who was one of my favorite) doesn't give an answer you have to try and try. So no one knew and we sat there for 15 minutes until he fell over and was "snoring". We thought it was funny until we realized he was turning purple and was having a severe heart arithmia. He was OK so no worries, but that was definitely the worst reaction ever.

This didn't happen to me but my brother (3 years younger then me). At our high school we had the sliding dry erase boards. Well, one day the Physics teacher (really cool guy who other than this day had never been known to get angry) got so angry at my brother's class that he tore the sliding board from the wall, threw it at the class, and stormed out. No one was injured, and both parents and school staff agreed it was the kids fault since he had never done anything even remotely close to this before. In the end the class had a sub come in to finish the day, and they all had to write apologies to the teacher.

elementary math teacher, she hated me for some reason unknown (seriously... never did anything to her and I always got A on my tests...), the whole classroom could be talking/laughing and the only one that would get called out was me... and sometimes I wasen't even talking...

also in high school we had a teacher that smoked, we made her angry and she started coughing a lot, had to get of classroom just to catch her breath.... we have made fun of her coughing ever since :lol:

Latin teacher.

Couldn't control a class, I ended up not particularly caring after a point, he'd get in arguments with other students and I'd put my head down on the desk, catch an hour of sleep.

Best part? Before he left the school (after about two or so months) I got a report card with an A. He must have classified "non-participation" as a passable understanding of amo amas amat.

I took a military history class as an elective and managed to have both a good and bad teacher. The initial teacher was great and really knew his stuff. Unfortunately he had a massive heart attack two weeks in and was hospitalized for the rest of the semester. His brother was brought in to teach and the class turned into a history of diplomacy. This still would of been interesting except for the fact that the brother had a tendency to drift off onto unrelated topics, spoke in a monotone, and was just really boring.

Has to be the teacher of my technology(Resistant materials) class, He would always just give up teaching halfway through the period, He couldn't speak english too well which didn't help us at all, Eventually he just gave up and refused to teach our class because we wouldn't listen to him:lol:

One of the best teachers i had was my science teacher, He was openly gay and would always play gay 80's pop for use on fridays... He even played gay bar by electric six once and sung along to it... That was quite disturbing:lol:

Chemistry in High School 2nd year.

Teacher caught a mate spitballing another one of my mates. He punched him in the back and bounced his head off the blackboard. That was pretty bad and we didn't see that teacher for a while...

Physics High School 3rd Year. Substitute teacher for a double lesson (near enough 2hrs).

We managed to ask him "How come in Star Trek when they drop out of warp speed, the inertia doesn't throw them forward, like when you're in a car and someone slams on the brakes". He spent most of the next two hours trying to explain why the rules of inertia weren't being applied aboard a fictional spaceship, decelerating from a fictional speed in a fictional universe.

one of our teachers last year was allergic to axe(crazy i know) and one kid "didn't know" and he sprayed a lot on before hand. She had a really bad reaction and fell down twitching.

What's axe?

Wiki says it's another name for Lynx...

Didn't know you could be allergic to it, thought it was just a matter of good taste not to use it?

What's axe?

body spray, some actualy smell relly good.

remember another one, chemistry teacher, we talked more about his life than about the class... and his life was actualy WAY more interesting than chemistry... more so when you discover his age( he is 60, looks like 40....)

biology teacher, he talked more about his life than about the class.... his life was boring, no one payed attention, then on a test he put things that he told us about his life(things involving biology, not something random).... everyone flunked...

Okey dokes

Never use sprays in public, slightly asthamtic myself, no point putting more at risk.

Oh yeah I forgot about one. While in 6th grade our grade made our English teacher quit mid year. She kind of looked like a man and definitely had a slight mustache. We gave her the hardest time one day and one day she just flipped out on our class, it was awesome. Later that week she said she was going on vacation and never came back.

He was OK so no worries, but that was definitely the worst reaction ever.

Erm...which school was this? I swear one of my teachers had the exact same policy and the exact same experience after waiting for an extended period of time.

My AP History teacher last year has ADD AND is Bi-Polar. Any little thing would set him off. You do the math when those two conditions are involved.

Though some of you are an unimmaginative lot, so I'll tell you a few. :lol:

We did these 15 minute brainstorming things at the beginning of class involving items of some kind. He would hold up the item, ask the class what the item could have been used for in history, and then asks for a specific answer (ex. Bag of rubble: Ely Cathedral, 1300's, from the remnants of the central tower collapse). One specific day, we were using a brick. One smart ass piped up "When I shat it out. Circa 2008." Everyone laughed, and we expected him to as well (he laughed at something similar the day before). Instead, he shouted about how history is incredibly serious and thre the brick through the window. he stormed out of the class and left us there for the rest of the time (about an hour) without returning.

He also likes playing with things during class while he speaks due to his ADD(like a stress ball or a pen or something similar). Doing one thing at a time, like speaking, isn't his thing. One time, he was playing with a Bic lighter. He was waving it around and clicking it. He set it down on his desk, still with his finger on the trigger, and set a small part of the WOOD desk on fire. He let go of the trigger and walked over to the chalkboard (while writing on it, his back was to the desk). We tried to tell him, but he kept on shutting us up. He didn't notice until the whole thing was up in flames and he turned around. We got out of two tests, four homework assignments, and a particularly long 3 day lecture because he didn't have "the patience or attention span to re-make them" (he said that himself). He wrote everything by hand because he hates making copies.

Most teacers would have been fired by then, but he has tenure. I became an aide the next year to see what went on in his class without actually having to go through it again. It was excellent. I can provide more stories if requested.

Probably one of the worst was my English Teacher.
She came into Canada and was really excited to teach everyone. But because she couldn't keep control of the class she left within a month..........now she's back in Canada eh?
either that or my History teacher who on a hot day hat the fan on above us (ne of those ones on the ceiling) going pretty fast. He forgot that it was on and got really annoyed with the class, so he got hold of our books for last 2 years and chucked them up. He was standing under the fan and 2 years of work got shredded........that was pretty funny at the time, until we had to do all of the work again.


My best teacher was probably my science teacher who goes off topic alot. Lesson before our GCSE, revision right? Nope he decided to show us his holiday pictures

We had a teacher who was boring as death, school was doing cutbacks so they told him he could teach the rest of the semester and then he would be replaced. He gave up and we did nothing. They brought in someone straight out of college to teach a Senior English class in its final semester. She was brought to tears and we never saw her again. They brought in some half brain dead surfer/stoner and we read out loud for the remainder of the year. Sometimes I wonder why the American school system fails so many people.

in 8th grade we had a math teacher who use to make kids run a lap, are school was a circle surrounding the library. He also had a temper and would throw shit all the time.

My worst experience with teachers though was a sub. It was the end of my Senior year and we were in a class where we were already done, and the teacher let us play cards. Hell she even played with us the day before.
So we sit down to play and suddenly this guy starts yelling at us to put the cards away and study. I just pointed out that it was ok and we all had everything done. He just flipped out on me and started ranting about state scores in the ACTs or something and then yelled at me to go to the principles office. I had never been sent to the principals ever. . . and i wasn't going to go down with out a fight. he ended up following me to the office and i swear to god that prick was looking up my skirt on the way up the stairs. U know when u get that feeling some ones watching u. I got it and looked around and there he was with his head cranked way down and to the left. I don’t know maybe he had to crank he’s neck like that when he went up stairs. . .
I never got in trouble for it and i heard he hasn't been back to sub in that school district

In the 5th grade my teacher Mr. Walker was a feared man, with severe punishments like running up hills all through recess.

One day we were having our math lesson when he noticed two kids in the back of the classroom passing notes. In a rage Mr. Walker ran to the back of the class and smashed his fist down on one of the kids desk, demanding that they gave him the note! well the kid was so frightened he actually peed on himself.
... As for Mr. Walker i don't know what he had to go through after that but he never flipped out like that again.

The coolest teacher I've ever had is my Physics teacher from last year. The most exciting part of the year was messing around with liquid nitrogen. We did a variety of experiments, like: eating cheetos and marshmallows that were dipped in liquid nitrogen (the cheetos were the bomb, it was extremely cold and it would look like smoke was coming out of your nose and mouth), putting a balloon in liquid nitrogen, putting a flower in it then smashing it with a hammer, and making a metallic cube levitate with a magnet somehow (it was a demonstration, I was too busy spacing out to get all the details). Oh, did I mention that he threw it at a couple people as well? Classic....

hmmm well when it comes to best some subs come to mind. We have a sub in the school, this old army vet (or was it marines). He usually substitutes for lit classes and we would get nothing done with him. He would always tell some sort of random story.

Now here is one of my favorite teachers in the school, Mr. Conroy (everybody just calls him conroy). I haven't had him as a teacher yet but I will this upcoming school year. He plays video games, he's a fan of anime (usually anything involving some sort of mech) and he is one the favorite teachers amongst most students in the school. He's the supervisor for the strategy club, which is pretty much the video game/board game/card game club. Needless to say he is ****ing awesome.
