Shmokin' 'da Reefah?

I am seriously doubting that my English 9 Pre-AP teacher is sane in any form. She recently gave us an assignment to research a book called December Silence which is a book about Vietnam. Our assignment was to talk to two people fifty-six years of age or older about Vietnam and things surrounding that matter. (which is due tomorrow and I still need a second person.) But the thing is that we have to research something obscure about a book that most of the research we will never use in the literature or anything else (Maybe History... but I HATE post-modern...). Other books we read were A Day No Pigs Would Die, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and As You Like It. All of which we had to research this trimester.

But that's just the start of it! She's... sixty-one or so in age, and she LOVES cany and coffee... So much that she goes, well, crazy over it. She can't focus at all and we never get any work done and she still expects it done. Another thing she likes to do is work in comments about dykes, child pornography, meth labs, terrorists, current events, candy, coffee, viagra, or any other thing that is EXTREMELY random. Sure, you may think that it's all fun and games, but it gets old fast...

SO! My question to you all is this: Do you have any off-the-wall teachers that are fun in the beginning, but then take it too the point where that they get extremely annoying?

My english teacher. She seemed cool at first witht he massive amounts of frogs hanging from, well, everywhere. Then she made us do 10 poems that were 2 pages long at least that came from durign the colonial era, then paraphrase each line and do a stupid 5 thing (picture, your feelings, important phrases, impact, and connection to you) for each.
I hate poetry now.

Language Arts must make people go crazy cuz I have a pretty insane language arts teacher. Everyday I worry wether she is in a happy or bad mood it freaks me out. I was afraid to ask her for a vocab worksheet becuase I thought she was going to yell at me. Im afraid of her I snuck around the room until I found the sheet myself. There was once a test that everyone failed and she told me to call my mom so i did and I was the only one in the class that got in touch with my Mom so for the whole period and a few minutes into the next She was screaming at my Mom saying i was a bad student and am getting a C- for the class when I got a B- instead it was crazy when i got home but luckily My Mom relized that Mrs. o was out of her mind and stoped yelling at me.:(

Your teacher sounds bad too I feel bad for you.:(

I think all English teachers are psychotic/insane/senile...

My 12th grade English teacher made us read the worst books ever: A Tale of Two Cities, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Canterbury Tales. We had to make smurfing costumes for Canterbury... v.v

My 11th Grade English teacher made us analyze, line-by-line, a poetry packet on the Harlem Renaissance... 50 poems, all saying the same damned thing: "Racism is bad." And she acted like it was interesting...

It usually happens the opposite way. People'll say how mean a teacher is, but I find them to be quite enjoyable and they end up being the kind of teacher that I learn from the most.

All my teachers are artists, they're all pretty crazy.
I would never call them annoying... just special.

Our old English teacher used to be 'fun', but we all knew something was wrong when he asked us to draw naked people for our homework and to write an article on suicide that would describe - in detail - how we would kill ourselves if we ever wanted to.

He was a little strange.

There was once an English teacher at my high school who was notorious for thinking cats lived in the ceiling or something. I never had her class, though, so I can't say if there's any truth to that.

But there was this one man who substituted at my high school a lot and still does, I think. He likes to tell stories about alligators, passing gallstones, surviving aneurisms, and the like, in detail. It's impossible to get any work done with him around.

Thats pushing it....

I had a teacher that was perhaps gay (theres nothing wrong with that) he waxed his mushatche up like a weird french guy. Also a rumor was going round that he walked into the staff toilets with a hotdog came out with nothing:confused: he also kept sitting near me and complimenting my work that was crap (art isnt my best subject).

My English teachers are both smurfing amazing. And English Lit. being a pretty awesome subject helps ;D

I have an awesome teacher that's never actually taught me. But he rules. He swears in places where you can swear, and...well, just is cool. He's huge as well, and we had a fight so I kicked him in the balls and won! :bigsmile:

The whole of my history department is insanely cool. So I guess the answer to your question is no, I've never had annoyingly cool teachers. But my english teacher is smurfing mental. :hate:

All of my teachers were either boring and dry or hilariously interesting. There was never a middle ground with any of them. My history classes were probably my favorite though.

Nowhere else have I seen a grown man fire a restored gun from the Civil War area during the middle of the day at a school that, just two years before, had a school shooting.

He did get permission though.

My art teacher was really nice in the beginning, but after a couple of weeks she showed her true and ugly face. First of all, she's very confused - giving us the same homework up to four times, she thinks she's better than everybody else, if what we as students say isn't exactly what she had in mind - which is often something she has read in a book - she says it's wrong (...and art is supposed to be a very abstract subject), and she has major mood-swings... like all the time. You never know where you have her. It's so annoying.

The most interesting teachers at my school are one of the RE teachers/school chaplain and the Japanese teacher. Pretty much all the students think the RE teacher is a bit of a paedophile, he apparently tries to look up girls skirts and is just a bit odd. The Japanese teacher is a guy in his thirties who has a little shrine to Hello Kitty (lots of pink hello kitty stuff) on the mantlepiece in his classroom.
My form tutor also has a habit of wearing shortish skirts and sitting on the desks; she's past 50. It really freaks the boys out.
And I won't even go into the complicated mess that involves two of the teachers now shacking up together.

My teachers in grade 11 and 12 were awesome. I wished my grade 11 teacher did not retire, I wanted her for grade 12. She was just awesome and crazy in a good way. With her we read MacBeth (<3), The Rhime of the Ancient Mariner, some novel written locally (Something about Eddie in the title?) and a variety of short stories. Any writing skills I have are much to do with her. She was amazing.

In grade 12, my English teacher was pretty cool too. We read Hamlet and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I was not a big fan of either, but still it was a good class, I really enjoyed it.

My 7th grade literacy teacher was fun at first, but got seriously annoying. She wasn't at all a good teacher. She had no confidence, was overly sensitive, and a (female dog). She couldn't control her class either, and everyone hated her.

When I was back in high school we had 29 maths teachers for my GCSE Maths class and only 4 of them were actual maths teachers, There was one who was a qualified accountant from the city but he was also a qualified alcoholic and would actually drink in class and when teaching something new (especially algebra) he would use the different spirits in his desk to help demonstrate the problem. He was good for a bit but annoyed me when he was constantly drunkenly throwing up in the bin or leaving the room for cigarettes.

I had a history teacher in year 7 who cared more about making my class sing stupid little songs he made up than actually teaching us.

I had a Tech Teacher who got my class to make a wooden, cut out woman for his friend and bandmate's stag night.

I had an IT teacher who kept calling people a Dobbin and bragging about how we would never get his administrator password as it was his car registration number and he didn't drive in to school. I managed to get this piece of information and rather than admitting he was a fool and giving me like a month of detentions or anything he merely marked my coursework down even though I had self taught myself HTML and written 40 pages of raw HTML that worked!

I had a french teacher that wouldn't let me move up out of her class even though I was too good for it and so I used to swear at her in the french language, it's rather satisfying to watch the teachers face drop as you veer off the perfect line of french you were giving her to call her something horrible.

I had an RS teacher who taught us nothing but about how wonderful Islam was even though she herself was a devout Catholic.

My form tutor was so bad at controlling our class that we managed to give her a mental break down and she was left out of the school for over 5 months, upon her return she told us it was because she had sprained her wrist.

The same teacher as my last paragraph decided that my class did not need sex education in year 9 as we must all be too active to need to learn anything more. Since leaving 4 of the girls in my class have had babies, there was 7 in the class. And apparently some of the guys got girls pregnant and one contracted HIV.

We had a Geography teacher who smashed not one but three, yes THREE over head projectors in his anger

We had a English teacher who kicked the crap out of 4 boys for no other reason than they didn't do their homework

We had a PE teacher that got 3 girls in 3 different years pregnant, and the fact that my school went only to year 11 no sixthform means yeah one was only 14 and these were simultaneously he also got the female PE teacher pregnant much to the amusement of the school since her husband we later found out to have been not only a black man but also infertile.

I had a history teacher in my school who taught me in years 8 and 9 and not only did she get in to an argument with the head of Geography over whether I would do history or Geography, she also after I had left high school and was at college bumped in to me in a night club. Not realising my age or who I was she actually hit on me, Cradle snatcher. She was only young infact teaching me in year 8 had been her work experience in final year of uni and she'd managed to keep the job.

Over all I don't think there was a normal teacher in my school.

My AP Lit teacher got old even before I had her.
