Shmokin' 'da Reefah?

[Fate Fatale]

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 he also kept sitting near me and complimenting my work that was crap (art isnt my best subject).

[Resha]

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

[Quindiana Jones]

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!

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:

[Bunny]

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.
