What Are Some Quirky Things You've Seen Teachers Do?

[fonduegirl]

I once saw the professor unwrap some candy bar and eat it with his mouth, basically half of his body outside the window, as not to break the rule "no lunch in auditorium" lmfao 🤣

My tenth grade English teacher used to stand on his desk like Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society”. He’d also pop the brown paper big he carried his lunch in if someone fell asleep in class. He’d go on with these long, silly tales of his adventures in his Chevrolet Cavalier, “the greatest automobile ever created”; sometimes even including drawings on the chalk board. The best one was about him taking his Cavi to space and back. I think he should sue “Fast and Furious” for stealing his ideas! Ell oh ell!
My eleventh grade English teacher used to talk to God through her stapler. And she got up on her desk a few times too. She repeatedly conjugated the verb “shit”. Ell oh ell! It wasn’t deliberate, and it’s only funny in hindsight, but once she went into a fugue state from a hypoglycemic reaction and left skool at lunchtime. She drove all the way across the state to her childhood home and tried to get in. She didn’t live there anymore and neither did anyone she knows. Our class was her first after lunch, so the vice principal came in and showed a movie for that period. We found out the next day what had happened. It was pretty scary and surreal at the time, but she was fine and to my knowledge it never happened again.
I think i was pretty fortunate to have some of the teachers i’ve had.

For a period I had a substitute teacher who would start to hyperventilate at the slightest incovenience and once started thumping on her chest muttering "I can do it, yes yes yes, I can do it, they taught it to me".

She was gone after Christmas.

When I was in high school, this one teacher kept a stack used cigarettes in her car. The stack was about 10 inches tall. She also kept a 8x10 photo of her "husband" facing the class on top of the desk. Whenever students would ask about him, she sounded as if she didn't want anything to do with him.

It appeared she had serious mental and physical health issues. It was clear to everyone that being a chemistry or bio teacher in high school wasn't for her. She could barely control herself as well as the class. I was confused as to why she even bothered being a teacher in the first place. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. Things like this are one of the reasons I wanted to move on from high school ASAP. I was so over the b. s.

My language teacher back in JHS would come to class chewing a bubble gum every single day. She would spit out and put the gum on the table next to her textbook when speaking or discussing and put it back in her mouth and chew again once she's done. She assigned a student or two to report a topic in class for 20-30mins and back their report up. It's a good interaction and dynamic in class. However, her spitting out and chewing the gum in and out of her mouth was so disgusting. Almost 2 decades has passed and we (my JHS former classmates and I) still talk about her. Anyway, she's a great teacher up to now. She was able to open her own school in a different country, too. Not one school but 3. Amazing, right?

Our biology teacher used to say these funny lines from who knows where and she says it with a straight face. She wasn’t joking too 😂. But we just snickered in the back coz it was too funny and idc if I get sent to the principal. I’d blame her 😂

[Daniela1982]

My high school English teacher called the boys in class Clyde and the girls Fern. My home room teacher in 8th grade posed as a TV star. And my chemistry teacher blew up the faculty toilet after eating chili in the cafeteria.

Our gym teacher uses to have parties at her house and apparently she fucked some of the guys on her highschool basketball team. She was mysteriously transferred soon after the rumors started circulating. Then she ended up as the principal of another school, lol.

my Spanish teacher basically had a day long anxiety attack when Trump won the election so we didn't do anything in her class but comfort her I didn't know an anxiety attack could last that long

[AviatorTom]

My high school biology teacher, an attractive female only 5-6 years older than the boys in her class, used to love to make gross jokes and comments whenever we had a lab that involved dissecting things: cow's eyeball, worm, frog.

[J2ohhhhh]

We studied about folk tales. And our teacher asked, what characteristics of folk tales we're familiar with. One of my classmate said that it was spread mouth to mouth. It is an expression in our language for something not being documented, but my teacher said "it's herpes."

[LindsayR07]

I actually had a science teacher in highschool explicitly tell us we could bribe him with candy bars for a higher test grade. Overall the change in the grade was consequential (like.5 of our overall class grade) but the point was that it's not just WHAT you know, but also who's palms you grease and who you're friendly with.

We had a history teacher who was also the wrestling coach. On days that there would be travel out of town or even overnighters he would smoke crack with kids on the team. As time went on he asked for favors in return for him supplying the crack. And his history class was pretty crazy too. He would have somebody he trusted every period to wake him up if someone was coming and he would sleep under his desk. He did not keep his job for too long. That's pretty quirky, I think.

[Anjoomkabir]

Don't know if this counts as "quirky" but I once saw a teacher playfight with a male student. It ended with him bodyslamming the student in front of the whole class.

[genericname85]

i once had a latin teacher who would regularly interrupt the declination or vocabs study to open the windows and make everyone stand up and do some goofy movement exercises because this was very important to her as it boosts brain activity and learning potential xD

[jamesgoldman]

The construction teacher I had well the middle one used to let us have the radio on in class, let us swear like sailors and stop mid lesson for a tea/coffee break

One of the IT teachers was a multimillionaire stock picker, one Valentine's Day he sent EVERY female staff member a red rose

[Jay3344]

My statistics teacher used to eat detention slips that he wrote for kids if they were good. He threw a kids book out the window once because it was for another class. He smashed his book stand in anger, he licked chalk when it squeaked on the board…he was a wild man

[TacosRAwesome]

As a former psych student, this is why I refuse to call my boyfriend Daddy. Im not a fan of Freud.

[justEric]

In one of the schools i studied, girls used to sit on the doorman's lap in exchange for him letting them get out of school earlier. The principal didn't see or didn't care because he got to the school late and drunk

[JosyJosy]

Jump on tables when he's getting excited. We loved him.

9th grade: teacher resting her belly on students desk, other teacher putting hands down his pants while staring at female students, my little old Japanese teacher falling not moving for 10s then getting up like nothing happened 😭

[shortster]

My chemistry teacher filled a balloon with hydrogen and then lit it on fire. I think everyone was awake after that.

[purplepoppy]

Eat it with his mouth? What does he normally eat with?

[Phoenix98]

My math teach played around the world ping pong with us in high school he was quite competitive and enthusiastic about it.

[exitseven]

I cannot think of much of anything. i never really did anything quirky in class either. My students may have a different opinion.

[dustybiker]

I heard several of my past “quirky” teachers did indeed snap at some point.

[Light909090]

I ounce Walked in on my Teacher giving another Teacher a Blowy.

[jimmy2]

In college every one feel asleep due to a old man and I woke up he was teaching still looking out the window and I ask him if everyone asleep why do you still teaching. He said I get paid to teach so I teach

[courtney06]

Are you saying he was teaching and looking out the window at the same time?

[Suziefilm]

My second period teacher has Misophonia, and she takes gum away from kids. Most kids don't get It but I just look up to her for not getting pissed.

[pizzalovershouse]

Worst I seen was my teacher use to pick her nose an not wash hand after

[the_sinner]

I had a sports teacher who used to drive his car into the playground just so that he could use the spray pipe to wash his damn car lol.

[Jerre]

I saw some female teachers have sex

[fonduegirl]

That's just nasty 😂
