Your wacky school teachers and professors...

Wow, your teachers are weirder than mine by far. I had this one teacher whose favorite word was hermaphodite. Oh, and one day she was explaining the effects of samonella and said she had it herself once. Then she proceeded by asking us if we were ever constipated. Plus, she cried easily (which was VERY awkward for me).

In second grade I had a teacher from Japan. Or she may very have been, even though she was about as caucasian as they come. Tall, blonde hair, green eyes, white skin. We learned a lot about Japan that year. She went back after the year ended. She had a fiancee or something back there. Apparently she just came back to get some paperwork done.
Fourth grade all we ever did in that class was write. Journals, essays, stories, biographies. All we learned was how to write that year. That's all we did. As such we ended behind the other fourth graders in math the following year.
Fifth grade I had the worst teacher ever. This old abusive bag that everyone hated. I mean everyone. A couple of the parents and students have taken swings at her, but since she'd been teaching forever she never got fired.
seventh & eighth grade I had a math teacher who was also my computer teacher. This guy was a genius. The best way to describe him is a dissilusioned hippie, broken by the reality of the world. I guess his acid trip ended too fast and he realized that nothing he could do would change the world, so he became a teacher. he had no love for the establishment, but if I imagine the way he thought, the best way to undermine them was to teach younger generations. 🤣
My high school teachers were all cool and either they all were weird so none stood out more than any others, or they were totally normal high school teachers. Although if there was one that I had to say was wacky I'd say my world history teacher. Amidst all the really bad jokes he actually managed to teach us stuff. Things got really zany in my senoir year though, when I had the same teacher for gov/econ. that wasn't the weird part though. Not only did I have the same teacher again, but I also had the exact same classmates, with the exceptions of the foreign exchange students. I was the first one to notice it. Anyway, he threw a history book at me once to get me to wake up.

in 4th grade, my teacher was sick a lot, so in the end we had subs almost the entire year. one of our subs that we had for about 4 months was this art-crazy weird old lady, and all we did those 4 months was paint flowers with water colors. no matter what subject we had.
my 5th - 7th grade teacher used to tell us the same story like every week, about how she stole an orange from a classmate when she was little, and how much she regrets doing it. and she always cried. once we were reading a story about a duck or something, and she was crying after the first paragraph, and my friend had to continue reading. she would usually end up crying when we were singing random songs too. 🤢
Another teacher used to call one of the kids satan(this was in 6th grade). she always preached about how smoking and drinking was bad for you, but during lunch every day she would drive like crazy back home, and come back reaking of alcohol and smoke.
My radio/TV teacher last semester would randomly stand on a desk and do the Peter Pan dance. once she punched a hole trough the ceiling(shes a tiny, 50-60 year old lady). she used to hide alcohol in her desk, until the school removed it. she also randomly yell at people, and last year someone posted a clip of hert screaming and flipping one of her students off on youtube 🤣

I had this really weird teacher in 8th grade that would make us get up and jump up and down, while trying to learn about gravity. Everyone had to do it because she forced us by saying that it would count as classwork.
Last year I had this teacher that would jump on his desk and try to surprise the late-comers. XD He would be boasting about getting an iphone, he would play light..swords..thingies from star wars on his iphone while in class. XD
This year, my keyboarding teacher is as random as she can get. One day her feet hurt, and asked for us to give her a massage. She said that she had nice feet, and that she would give us extra-credit. Lol. No one said a word, but they all laughed in their heads, I could see it on their faces. XD

I often caught my 7th grade geography teacher staring at me in class. It was kind of freaky.
My PE/Health teacher in 9th grade used to prop his leg on the desk when he would lecture in front of us. And then scratch his package.
My chemistry teacher in 11th grade used to tell us not to eat tuna, because of the mercury in it and then she would go off on tangents and tell us stories about when she used to smoke pot in college.
I don't really find this that weird, but whenever I see one of my studio professor at a bar - he buys us shots.
