we had a teacher who did not believe in global warming he was the ecology and earth science's teacher
My year 5 teacher was the best teach I've ever had, I can't remember exactly how old he was, but late 50s, early 60s. He was so forward thinking, it was all about using modern technology to it's advantage, internet for research, using the computer to type stuff out. Hell, he even let us have a game of CS 1.6 on Friday afternoons every week. We used to be able to make jokes about him, and he would take the piss right back at us. That was the only school year I actually wanted to go to school every single day. He was the kind of teacher that you were scared to go into his class at the start of the year, but you didn't want to leave by the end. He was strict, but fair. It's a shame that he stopped teaching when he son hung himself in their living room. My worst: Year 8 English teacher. While yes I think I pissed her off a lot by smashing a light at the start of the year with a desk. She was just a bitch, harsh about everything, had me rewrite essays multiple times even though she knew I had severe issues handwriting. Gave me a detention for not being there on the day of a test, because of the fact my mum had taken me overseas. Her last name was pretty appropriate as "Frost". Most useless: My year 10-11 S+E teacher. He had no class control. A nice guy, but could barely speak English, struggled to set any work and when it all got a bit too loud he would walk outside and not come back. For some reason he still passed the entire class even though no one did a single piece of work, or at least, completed one the entire year.
My 8th grade Spanish teacher was big on trying to keep the class under control. And seeing how i went to an "alternative" school where all the psychotic drug dealing gang dudes went to, it was kinda difficult to keep under control. He for some reason wanted to get on me and my friend's asses. And we were the only white people in the room... did i mention the teacher was a Mexican? So, when two kids are LITERALLY WRESTLING on the floor in front of the class room, we walks over to us to tell us to be quiet... Now, there were 3 of us in our little group, Ronnie, Cameron, and Alex (Me) So when i ACTUALLY WAS fucking around WITH RONNIE! Cameron is not involved, hes just doing his own shit. He would ask CAMERON to move to the other side of the room, or go to the office...
Animation teacher - Pretty chill guy who would give you good grades as long as you worked on something productive and did matches of MW in his freetime. He had to teach social studies once since all the other classes were stocked full, and he made flash animations of historical events. He also did the "just read this and balbla bla you get a hundred" stuff. Junior english teacher - Comparable to a dumblr femnist. Always treated the girls with respect, no matter how rude and shitty they were, but gave all the guys hell. Seemed to enjoy making everyone read feminist literature and still whines about how women are oppressed today. My school has a stupid policy where you have to pay $15 dollars to get the phone back, otherwise it's somehow the school's property. I remember countless times where the girls would flat out be texting, playing games, or taking retarded selfies and the teacher "didn't see" them. But the moment a guy sneaks his phone just to check the time: "GIVE ME UR PHONE!" 8th grade science teacher - About on par with my animation teacher. Gave you hundreds as long as you put effort and had a pet ferret and tarantula in the class. 6th grade science/history teacher (One teacher taught 2 subjects) - Biggest asshole I've ever encountered, both figuratively and literally. He taught science for about a week total out of the whole school year. We rarely had fun projects in 5th grade, so he decided to cram us with at least one a week. I also was paired with the same 3 assholes that constantly bullied me throughout the year. Of course they didn't do shit when we had to work on our group projects, so they threaten "to tattle and get me in trouble!!11!" when they're the ones that should be punished in the first place. The biggest piece of shit in the group decided to tattle on me when I did all the fucking work and got me detention on my birthday. I was sincerely infuriated and the teacher announces to the whole class "HUR DUR STOP PLAYING WITH UR SNOT LOL!!1" when all I did was wipe my nose. Of course the whole class bursted out in laughter making that grade a living hell.
We had a sub teacher for Ancient History once who told us that if we were gay we'd go to Hell and the reason the the dinosaurs were wiped out was because they didn't fit on Noah's Ark. [editline]11th July 2014[/editline] My year 9 Math teacher was hilarious and would make lots of jokes. One he was wearing a shirt that his wife bought him from Woolworths. So this kid says to him, I used to wear shirts from Woolies, until my mum got a job. So he casually replies by saying, yeah, and I gave your mum the job. Everyone in the class just loses it at this point. It was great. [editline]11th July 2014[/editline] My Ancient History teacher gave me a detention once because I didn't receive an email with homework from her.

Nothing too special in my schools, the metalworking teacher was this tall, bald guy who almost always wore a gray long sleeved shirt and dark pants, he often worked on his car (pretty heavily modded) when no students needed help with their stuff, when some guys would just fuck around the teach would sometimes come near and start yelling really loud, but overall he was a really damn nice guy. But he didn't teach just metalworking, since he was an ex-priest he also taught religion. He wasn't my teacher in those classes but [I]everyone[/I] told that he was one of the most boring teachers ever. Funnily, many of my favorite teachers taught woodworking (which happened to be my favorite subject), and while junior high was definitely the most boring period of school I went to, it still had the best teachers.

[QUOTE=coldud13;45356365]By throwing it?[/QUOTE] Why would you throw a desk. It's pretty huge imho.
My history/sociology teacher in middle school was always a great person to talk with, about the class as well as anything else. He also played banjo, guitar, Irish fiddle and maybe something else. I always enjoyed listening to him play his instruments while we were at camp.
Coolest: My Law Enforcement and Psychology teacher last year. To sum him up, he's 5'9, and 200 pounds of pure muscle and hatred. He had a great sense of humor, was nice to people who cared about the material (wasn't hard, he made it all seem so fun). He also got tazed in front of the class by one of the guest speakers because he thought it would be funny. He put on a bite suit and got taken down by a police dog for our enjoyment. He took the top 40 students on a field trip to go watch SWAT do a live fire exercise at the police academy. And his previously mentioned sense of humor was the greatest. During a lockdown drill, he stood at the door with a 9 iron. When the principal came by to check us out, he kept yelling "WHAT'S THE PASSWORD?" At him until the principal finally said, audibly "God fucking damn it" from the other side of the door, to which he responded "Yep, that's it, good job!" Runner up is my 8th grade English teacher. I love her to death because she was just so down to earth. She didn't treat us like kids, she treated us as equals. She valued our input, and it's because of her that I took an interest in writing. Worst was my 11th grade English teacher who drank in class (from a thermos which had vodka in it). Hit his son in class, and even tried to sleep with one of the female students. He hasn't been fired yet, which is fucking mind boggling.
Don't remember much about my teachers, but I remember there was one PE teacher that I had once in a while. When somebody's late, he'd say "You're early for next class".
Worst teacher was my 7-8th grade music teacher. Complete dickhead who was quite angry and violent, even going as far as to threatening students and even taking a swing at another teacher. AFAIK he still works there.
[QUOTE=supersocko;45344454]I had one teacher in 5th grade that thought she was cool for bullying me and my friend, but mostly me. It sent me into a dark depression, and I can hardly even remember 5-7th grades because of it. It was just typical things like putting me in the spotlight for getting in trouble, or telling me to shut up even though the rest of the class is chatting their asses off. Those are two pretty petty examples, but she usually did some pretty mean things. Looking back at it, if she was having a heart attack in front of me, I probably wouldn't have even batted an eye. She was such a fucking bitch, man. Although, my senior year of high school was pretty rad. My mythology teacher and art teacher are basically old kids, so I consider them less "respectable adult" and more "respectable friend". Those two would have probably let me just fuck around all day, but I usually tried anyway because I enjoyed those classes.[/QUOTE] God damn. I had a teacher like that in 8th grade. She would constantly single out my speech over everyone else's, even though I was far from the most vulgar or loud and halfway across the room from her.
My physics teacher back in school got us all pizza in a lesson before, and got us all a pint in the party after we all finished sixth form. What a great guy he was. Oh, and a German + French teacher used to promise that she'd dance on the table if everyone handed in homework. Unfortunately, there was always one fucking guy who didn't.
I had an english teacher who's part german and if you did something really bad she'd yell at you in german, she was like hitler in the movie downfall. my friend actually yelled back at her in some gibberish made up german sounding language and she kind of sat there for a moment trying to figure out if he actually made any sense. she told him to leave the class in english after that
The Textiles teacher grabbed my friend's dick
I think i remember when it was one of the final days of year 9 or so, one of the science teachers had something of an hidden hotness about her, the class watched videos...forget which ones she mentioned the choices were either "Muppets Treasure Island" (holding up CSI box as she says it) or some other movie, but was supposedly some sort of lie she said out loud so the people in the other classes wouldn't hear. Said video shown instead was the Buddhist episode of CSI, Robocop, and part of Gremlins 2. guessing she was an 80's kid or something. Science and IT seemed relatively simple in comparison to things like Maths. Science classes felt really casual and logical so it was pretty great that it was Science after dinner time on some days, or English/IT on others. one time i did something fast in IT, so i just looked around on the internet watching happy tree friends, and did a spreadsheet of the games i bought/import status and cost, he was sorta impressed. think he too shown a few episodes of Happy Tree Friends sometimes.
I had a really quirky pedo-looking social studies/history/religion teacher in 7-9th grade that always smelled like sweat, almost every single student in the school fucked around with him. Once someone ran in in the middle of class and took the pointer right from his hand and then ran around in class while shouting "I'm kiting him, I've got aggro!" and then two of his friends lifts the classroom door off from its hinges and runs away with it. Also had a few weird substitute teachers, one who called the cops on a guy that snuck in during class and then broke down crying when he refused to leave, and one that said "O la la la la" in the middle of sentences constantly.
I once had a science teacher who offered to give me tickets to see Devildriver.
[QUOTE=Raptortheawesome;45358397]I once had a science teacher who offered to give me tickets to see Devildriver.[/QUOTE] That reminds me, my science teacher in year 8 listened to Cradle of Filth, went to shows and festivals dressed all gothic and shit He also played D&D in college/uni His name was Octavius and his brother is called Gaius, not making this up
My AP US History Teacher (Junior Year), who then became my Modern History Teacher (Senior year) was hands down the best teacher I've ever fucking had. Kind but strict, very knowledgeable on history and the current political happenings, and fostered class discussions, he was also quite funny. There really aren't enough adjectives to describe how awesome Mr. Howard was. Modern History was especially fun because there were a couple of extremely conservative kids in that class (they eventually became my friends) and debates on abortion, gun control, and shit like that because fucking hilarious. One of them once called me an Eco-Terrorist for having solar panels on my roof.
theres one where she always screamed and cussed like a bitch and she eats Brazilian cream cheese with chocolate and this geography one where all she did was do pass lessons (where she couldn't stop sending us those retarded PAINT THIS SHIT papers) then the next 6 months theres those stupid fucking ass battles on "WHOS THE MOST SMART CLAASSSH". also she wears those stupid ass christian meme shirts
Worst teacher I've ever had: Mrs. Patalano, taught 6th grade english. She was a literal fucking demon. She was a cunt to every student and used "its training you for later years" as an excuse, the one time I just couldn't take it anymore and broke down crying in class because she was going too fucking fast with the test questions and I couldn't keep up, she just fucking laughed at me. Oh yeah, and in our holocaust unit, she turned the class into a representation of a concentration camp, and "killed" half of us on the very first day. There was only 1 survivor by the end.

Well, let's see.. [B]10th grade history[/B] was Mr. Lee. He was a bit strange with his teaching methods, but they sure as hell worked. (as in, I remembered the stuff long enough to take the finals, and have now since forgotten most of it) His description of the Cold War was something like: "So this country builds of their navy, and that country builds up their navy, so THAT country builds up their army, and oh no, we've got the nukes! Well, guess what? We've got them too! So then this country builds up their navy even bigger and that country builds of their army even bigger. But you know what happens next?" He then went to the back of the room, sat down at his desk, and didn't say a word for the next few minutes until the bell rang and class was over. His other quotes include: "Hitler was a bastard. Stalin was a bastard too! A bigger bastard than Hitler, arguably. But that's okay, he was on our side. He was [I]our[/I] bastard." "Holy shit! I'm on the fucking moon!" "The Balkans! The Balkans! The Balkans! The Balkans!" (don't remember what that was about, i just remember it) "Well let's put it this way, imagine you'd never seen or heard of Star Wars, and all of a sudden, these little green men come riding down the hallways on velociraptors and start lobbing heads off left and right with lightsabers. You'd be like "What the fuck is that? What's happening?" That's how the natives must've felt when the spaniards came in with their horses and guns." "OOOH! AIDS! Let me try that! I wanna see what that's like!" (Again, no recollection of what the context of that was" "Marx with a twist of Lenin!" "Rasputin was the badass to end all badasses. You think you're a badass? Pfft. You're nothing compared to this guy." [B]My 11th grade history[/B] teacher started and ended class with a joke (they were all terrible, and he knew it). [B]Economics[/B] teacher tried to tempt students into coming in on "Senior Skip Day" with Pancakes. What he didn't tell us was that we'd also get a bonus 5000 "Gawrubles" (which was our in-class currency for the mini-economy) and spend class watching Bar Rescue, since if an administrator decided to pop in, he could say that he's using it as an educational tool. :v: Oh, and those pancakes were boss.
[QUOTE=C.Barkington;45356258]How did you smash a lightbulb with a fuckin' desk?[/QUOTE] I picked up a desk to move it, tripped over and somehow managed to have it flung up and hit one of the fluro lights on the roof of the classroom. the ceiling was very low, to the point some tall people have to slouch.
My AP Government teacher had a poster in front of his classroom that said "when in doubt, commit seppuku." I always wondered if that was ok or not.
My entire school is filled with amazing teachers. First we have my language teacher, Mr Moss, who's basically that teacher who you could just call anything and he'd immediately one-up you and put you to shame. Then there's my calculus teacher, Mr Godfrey, who, in about a month's time, is taking his entire AC class (basically a set of students he looks after) to Thailand. Sadly, I'm not part of that group. Then last, but not least, is my physics teacher, Mr Oclee-Brown. Who famously taught us projectile theory using two cheap dollar-shop dart guns. Guns which we now fire at him whenever he screws up because he foolishly showed us where he keeps them. See, when a normal teacher has nothing to do because the class is doing a worksheet or a test or something, he/she would finish up his/her paperwork or send some emails or something. Oclee, instead browses reddit and plays Civ V, while sometimes interrupting us to show us things he finds interesting. He's also become the bane of the building because he screws with every other teacher in the block for shits'n'giggles. And finally, there was one time a few weeks back where an exam was scheduled to run from 1:15pm to 4:15pm on a friday (school here ends at 3:15pm), so while the class was complaining, Oclee said, and I quote: "Do you really think this hurts you more than it hurts me? You might not be able to go home, but I can't go to the pub anymore!" Basically, my school is bro central, in the good way.
My English 9 Honors teacher was a complete and utter cunt I made a wall of text about the terrible human being in Shit that gets you mad , but I can't be bothered to find it [editline]a[/editline] Highlights of her consist of being a sexist motherfucker, and that it is known all across the school that she's a huge cunt She's had complaints from both parents and students, according to my counselor
