People Are Sharing Funny, Weird, And Embarrassing Stories About Their Teachers For Jimmy Fallon’s Challenge (40 Pics)
Oh, those carefree school days... The cringe was so real that well into our adulthood, we still relive it while we sleep. Although most of the embarrassing stuff that only a thought of it turns us bright red still to this day happened to us and our friends, teachers were not immune to making fun of themselves in front of the whole class.
So when Jimmy Fallon announced his new #MyTeacherIsFunny challenge and asked everyone to tweet the funniest, weirdest and most embarrassing things their teacher has done or said, the answers started pouring in one by one, each better than the previous one.
From a 9th grade teacher who would tell kids to close the blinds every Monday only for them to realize he was hungover, to a teacher who kept a jar of chewed gum on his desk, here are some of the most entertaining stories featuring teacher quirks and school antics. Don’t say you don’t miss it a tiny bit. Just kiddin’.

My senior year in high school I took Music Theory class. Every Friday we had a "listening party" where the teacher brought in cookies and drinks and put on classical music. He would then tell us interesting stories of all kinds of things. Thank you Mr. Matina for making what could have been a boring subject extremely fun!! 🎵
A friend of mine is a teacher for Latin and old greek, sometimes he makes "glacial excursions" meaning he visits an ice cream parlor.
Born to be wi-I-ild! Get your motor runnin'. Head out on the highway. Lookin' for adventure, And whatever comes our way
I fell asleep in HS French, woke with a start just before the bell to laughing classmates. Found out teacher had silenced the class and lack of noise woke me.
One time, someone fell asleep in the sixth grade room, and the teacher got the ENTIRE CLASS to scream as loud as they could to wake him up. He jumped out of his chair, tripped over a backpack, and quite literally fell into the lap of his friend. The fifth grade class (mine) next door was very alarmed- even more so when we piled up at the window to see a kid lying across another's lap while the teacher was crying with laughter.
That teacher is Jim, and the student is Michael (The Office reference, in case you don’t know).
That ain't funny because only a few times i have been so tired and stressed out and my only way to survive was to fall asleep. When i woke up again, for the first few minutes i didn't know what day it was. That is a weird and scary feeling. It is not funny.
That's not only mean, it's highly unprofessional. Same on that teacher!
Did we have the same teacher? I had a H.S. teach do that, complete with the clock change. Kid came running out into the hall and we died laughing.
prank should be like this, not moving away the chair when someone about to sit
NBC’s award-winning show Saturday Night Live first premiered on October 11, 1975. Jimmy Fallon was commissioned as a cast member in 1988, and in 2014, he became the sixth permanent host of the long-running The Tonight Show. His weekly hashtag challenges and active social media presence have won him a solid fan-base.
I had the same math teacher as my mom. His son was in my class too so when mom told me he slept with an underaged student his first year, got her knocked up and then married her to make it kosher ( it was the 1970s) I could never look at either one of them the same again
Why did you punish the kid for the skeevy behaviour of his teacher father. That’s not right. It wasn’t his fault. Jesus.
Load More Replies...My dad was 7 years younger than his twin brothers. When he entered his first class, English, on his first day of high school, the teacher came to his name and went read in the face and started screaming "out, out, I refuse to teach another Brookshire spawn".
My daughter had the same teacher for first grade that I did. On the first day of school teacher said to my daughter, " I don't have to ask about your mom is cause you look just like her and talk just as much."
Teacher probably goes by the adage, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Had a couple of teachers like this making it a bit of a challenge.
It's very typical. Mosts teachers say it when there are brothers or sisters. It's like and old dad joke. If not in public, in private.
Load More Replies...You could have put the wind up them. "For now, but (eldest) is expecting in September, so I'm sure you'll be seeing some more of us!"
Would love to see their faces if you tell them, No sir, I am the middle child of 10.....
My daughter went to my old school 30 yrs later, the same teachers were still there....one day I had to go there to discuss my daughters behaviour and they made me sit at my old desk for registration...as if I was the one under scrutiny...
My daughter went to my school 30 yrs after me.....the same teachers were still there....when I had to go to the school to discuss my daughters behaviour they made me sit in my old desk for registration...as if I was the one under discussion...
I bet it was disappointingly less dramatic than expected. I’ve put tons of things in liquid nitrogen because movies convinced me it would have a greater affect than it does (looking at you, Terminator 2).
Load More Replies...Metalshop teacher did this with a hotdog vs. torch and then a grinding wheel
Our wood shop teacher banged a piece of 4x4 on the table on our first day and said “what’s harder your fingers or this piece of wood? “ We all said “the wood”. He then pushed the wood through the industrial jig saw and it sawed through the wood like a hot knife through butter. He looked at us and said “If that machine can do that to wood think what it can do to you. Keep away from it unless I’m there beside you.” Great way to learn a valuable lesson.
My chemistry teacher had a poster that said, "Carrol never wore safety glasses. Now she doesn't need them." Featuring a picture of a woman with sunglasses and a cane.
Fallon's most popular challenge was his #TumbleweedChallenge, which generated over 8K submissions and 10.4 million engagements on TikTok. This was the biggest spike recorded by TikTok since the app launched in 2016. Currently, Fallon has a whopping 51.3M following on Twitter, making his account the 19th most popular one on the entire site.

reminds me of my home econamics teacher ( i accidentally broke one of the blenders)
Or maybe they were close and the kid inspired her to live her life to the fullest and enjoy retirement away from work? Maybe too optimistic, but I want a good feel good story.
My little sister (3 years younger) and I had the same 8th grade teacher, a mean, selfish old hag with one yellow front tooth, and the worst dragon breath you ever smelled. We all hated her. But my baby sister's class refuse to take her $hit, and was the reason she stopped teaching 8th grade! I call it a win, lol!
Let's hope he wasn't an English teacher, lol.
Load More Replies...That's given me the best laugh I've had all week! I hope you sent both versions to the college. They wouldn't dare reject you!
“She will for sure turn it into rubble and make a ‘Smaug-like’ lair out of it.”
Would have been nice if he offered the kid some food instead of eating in front of him. But good motivation for kids to finish their work fast so they can play.
"Do you want my pocket sausage?" Imagine how that'd sound xD
Load More Replies...You didn’t even need to clarify that it was a chemistry teacher. 🤣 It’s just so obvious.
I used to have a biology teacher that always carried a "pocket cheese" in her jeans pocket. She insisted it would taste better the longer it was in there and took it out to eat it at random times in class.
If he hadn't been their teacher (like if he was just a friend, who said the same thing), the most appropriate and hilarious reply to the first one would have been, "That was a sausage in your pocket? Oh. I though you were just happy to see me."
Donald Trump has also helped Jimmy’s Twitter account to get attention. Back in June, Trump attacked Fallon for apologizing for having the then-presidential candidate on his chat show and playfully ruffling his hair. Trump told Fallon to “be a man.”
Oh, and if you're wondering, Barack Obama is the most followed person on Twitter with 110.2M followers. With the presidency now behind him, Obama mostly tweets about work being done by his Obama Foundation and other activities.
*gags* that would keep my from chewing any for sure
Caught with gum or not, there is no way I would that. I would take whatever the other consequence was.
As someone with misophonia, where hearing people chew and pop gum causes me the worst pain I’ve ever felt, I applaud this.
Same. People constantly chew gum as loud as possible at my school, and it causes the worst distress in me.
Load More Replies...Had a teacher who did the same except most of the old gum in it had been scraped off the underside of desks 🤢
At work, I once replaced all the clicky pens I could find with non-clickable ones.
See, I don't get this as a teacher myself. Now you have a potential parent calling that you took and lost their child's property, intentionally. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. I think its wiser to just hand them a pencil and ask them to use that instead. Most students aren't even aware they are clicking it.
I really think this is something a teacher would do in the 90's! Back then i don't remember any parent coming to yell to the teacher! they were embarrassed and coming home to yell to the kids! Now you see them running at school for absolutely no reason, harassing the teachers and showing their kids that their behaviour can be left unpunished and the teacher will be in trouble (not talking about this particular behaviour with the pen which is not serious of course)
Load More Replies...I hope my German teacher does this. She actually might. She apparently will cuss out students if they annoy her lol
I asked my high school German teacher about the bad words, so she had me look them up in the German-English/English-German dictionary, write them down, and give her my notes. She carved out 15 minutes at the beginning of the next class to teach us how to cuss like German sailors, then told us not to tell on her for it. As far as I know, no one did. I figured it was OK to tell about it now, since it happened in 1977 (I graduated in 1978).
Load More Replies...When I was admitted to the Ph.D. program I had to sit through an inquisition with the Department faculty. I was the only grad student who didn't have to take and pass a foreign language exam because I had years of German with a B average and one of my other degrees was in Russian language. One of the professors, a real asshole, said "can you translate Russian?" And I said "I have a degree in Russian language." He kept hounding me and finally I said "Da, ya gavaroo Russki tbi sinka sin." Yes, I speak Russian you son of a bitch" Fortunately, his languages were non-existent, certainly not Russian.
My Spanish teacher in freshman year once inadvertently taught us a swear word while telling us to pronounce a word correctly, haha.
My Spanish teacher wouldn't even admit that she knew what "cerveza" meant, when I asked. And she'd lived in Spain. She wore ankle length skirts with thick opaque tights, and long sleeved blouses buttoned all the way up to her neck, often with sweaters on top, even in the hot Summertime. And she only taught us Castilian Spanish, which is the proper, formal dialect used in Spain. Not quite as useful with those who use Mexican Spanish, which is what most of the Latinos in the US (or at least most of the ones I've met) speak. They still understand most of it, but it would be like someone from Spain learning British English, and speaking to an American. They both use different words used for the same item. For example, in Britain, you might say lorry, instead of truck, like we do in the US. In Castilian Spanish, coche means car. But a person who speaks Mexican Spanish would instead say carro. So it can be awkward at the least, and can also lead to confusion, or even to you looking silly for trying to speak to them, and using the wrong words.
Anyway, I went off on a tangent, lol. But my point was, my Spanish teacher would NEVER have taught us bad words. Though I wish she would have! But it's okay, I've since learned them on my own LOL. ETA-No, I don't think she wore her long clothes for religious reasons. I think she was just kind of a prude. Though I could be wrong. Still, other than the above, she was a nice lady, and I liked her well enough. Oh, and "cerveza" means "beer", for anyone who was curious but didn't feel like googling, lol.
Load More Replies...H.S. Freshman year German class - the teacher taught us German beer-drinking songs with the English translation on the board. I can still (several decades later) sing this one from memory. "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa ..."
We used to trick our German teacher into telling use curse words in German. He was also very easy to get off track so we never really learned anything. And he had my older sister so he always called me her name.
After completing four years of French, I stood up and said "Madame Sinclair, you said that if I got four years of straight As, you would teach me all the swear words". You should have seen her face, she spluttered and denied ever making such a promise.
A friend was one learning weather in french and was told to practice at home. So my friend was practicing with their mum crudely. Then they went out shopping and started conversing in french asking "what about him?" The daughter then replied in french "yes, he is hot" . The guy must have understood because he turned round, smiles and said "mercy beacoup".
My middle school band teacher would blow up an inflatable bat and bonk us on the head with it or throw a squishable rock at us if we repeatedly got our notes wrong
A lot of classrooms now have whiteboards/blackboards on the back of the room too.
Load More Replies...My college kids still raise their hands and ask to go to the toilet. I keep reminding them they are adults and this is not a prison. Usually get them trained in the first couple of weeks just to quietly leave and come back
To be fair they have just spent 12 years in prison…. ;)
Load More Replies...Making fun of people who need the bathroom-yep, that’s adequately mature and empathic, you’re hired to help turn young kids into admirable adults.
Just hang a toilet pass and let them take it and go. I see no reason to act like a d**k about it either
Load More Replies...What about that time of the month? I'd be petrified if I was in her class.
Oh… that would SUCK! Like, every hour just like “oops Miss Coops, I must make a constant line of blood so if you’ll excuse me I must be on my way”
Load More Replies...I got in trouble in HS for just getting up, saying I'll be right back and leaving to use the restroom. Got called to the Principal's office. My response was, "I'm 16 years old and fully aware of when I need to pee. I really don't see that I need to announce my intent or get permission to use the facilities". The teacher was actually given a reprimand for wasting the Principal's time..
My son is a high school yearbook and journalism teacher and when he got tired of students asking to use the restroom, he devised a new bathroom pass… it’s a 1.5 ft (≈1/2 m) x 3 ft (≈1 m) board that reads “Toilet Trivia: Which parts of this bathroom pass did the previous pooper touch before they washed their hands?” His students almost always choose to use the restroom before or after his class now. :-)
Jobs have appeared and disappeared as long they exist. It's pretty hard to find a job as clock keeper, lamplighter or switch operator in these times.
Look at what happened to those buggy whip makers, hard to find them since Henry Ford put them out of business
Load More Replies...Teacher was half right. Self serve things have appeared but still require a person to monitor them.
Our Earth Science teacher ( Mr. Bean, who straight looked like a leprechaun) told us he graded while drunk, which I believe and I know another teacher always had "orange juice" in class. I was his grading assistant in the free period and my friend came in to hang and we tested the "orange juice". It was def a screwdriver. Though after 10 years in the classroom I can sort sympathize.
My high school home room teacher I also had for first period French always smelled like alcohol in the mornings. We really liked her though so no one told on her. She wasn’t drunk, just smelled like it from the night before.
for me, that's not funny that's unprofessionalism. When I was 11 yo, I was sent to "direction" in math class for being rude *only was asleep in class because I have sleep misconduct* Several years later my dad told me as kind of joke that that teacher went with my half-brother to drink after classes, he was like fifteen at that time. From that time, I started to guess, he was trying to take revenge on me for something, don't know what or why. I was bad in math, but never a rude or "problematic" student, just average.
Our German teacher was trying to teach us over (Ober) and Under (Unter) He tried to use He was standing over her...but the way it came out was he was over her...which started the college students giggling. He then said "Well in the Navy, one sailor will sleep over another." I said "That didn't improve things much." And everyone started laughing including the teacher who was red now.
I went to Catholic schools in the '70s. We had a nun who would grab her cross and yell "begone you demon child" if approached outside of the classroom. I used the same technique on my own children. When they were tattling or just whiny I would make the sign of the cross with my hands and scream "begone you demon child". My son swears he will eventually need therapy.
ALWAYS read an entire test first. That way you can pick the easy answers first and take care of the harder questions later. May save you a lot of points by not wasting too much time on a hard question.
Load More Replies...In all the classes my professor Dr. Svendsen taught, he emphasized that you should never attempt to solve a problem until you understand the larger scope so you will focus on the problems that really matter. For my mammalogy final (senior spring semester), he passed out an 11 page final with one question at the top of each page with each question marked as 9 points for a 99 point test.. The questions were ridiculous like "Explain the various ecological niches for each of the 19 classes" and "Explain the embryonic growth of a placental mammal from egg to birth". Entire books could be written about each question. The last question on page 11 was worth 100 points. "What was/is the name of your favorite mammalian pet?' Answer that one and you got 100/99. His final life lesson as we were graduating was his mantra for the last 4 years. Years later I remember the others questions on that test only because they are part of the bigger lesson I really learned that day.
Had this "test" a couple of times in grade school, but 10 pages? That's just sick.
Seriously the point of these is to teach people to read the directions thoroughly. It's one thing to put the instruction at the end of the first paragraph, but at the end of 10 pages? No one has time to read that many questions and then answer them, of course they'd jump right in.
Load More Replies...I just remember this except it had that line appearing FIRST. It was designed to show how many people actually took the time to read directions. Most of the students were studiously writing down the answers while a few sat quietly twiddling their thumbs.
I did this once in 5th grade, but I was one of the few to follow the instructions properly because I was informed about this test from a family friend.
i passed a test just like this, only it was "answer question number 3, 9, and 14".....the other kids HATED ME
I personally think large amounts of homework are worthless "busy" exercises. Students don't do it, I get frustrated, they are frustrated, it's all bad. I give very little homework and it is then done without a fuss and on the rare occasion they don't do it, my disappointed face has a lot more impact.
There have been several studies recently which concluded that homework really doesn't help learning. That having been said, I think that essays do help learning, since they require you to research, formulate a concise viewpoint, and support it with facts, all written in with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. But rote homework? Not so much.
Load More Replies...My kindergartners are coming home with homework, and the teacher has asked that they did an online program each night for 20 minutes.... Look lady, they only have 3 hours of free time from when they get home till bedtime, they are not doing ANY homework. They are FIVE.
Homework is the reason why the only people who make laws about education should be teachers or have been teachers themselves.
That's not to say that I think all homework is bad. I think non-traditional homework is best something that enhances what you learned. And sometimes just paper homework is required to make sure that students really understand the concept, because we don't always have the time we want or need in class to get it fully done.
Load More Replies...Wonder if it was with pressurized water or if it was a chemical reaction like mentos and diet cola?
I've done with two methods: pressurized air (the best one but you need a bike wheels pump) or chemical reaction. It's full of receipts on the web if you want to try ;)
Load More Replies...I wonder if this is the same teacher I had for Government who would demonstrate the difference between 1st, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, etc by acting a scenario out for each, pretending his ex-wife was approaching him as he (pretend) used a chainsaw to cut down tree branches...sound effects and everything. It was an effective way to demonstrate why those charges were different. 30years later and I still remember
We had a history teacher who, instead teaching us about old German history (he did teach us younger history!), grabbed his guitar and sang with us songs like "Eve of distraction" and teached us how to play chess. I don’t know anything about „August der Starke" but at least I don’t hate history and am an acceptable chess player.
Reminds me of the teacher in "Over the Garden Wall" who sang a song about her husband leaving her.
This is why you preview films before showing them. Though the only Spanish movie my high school owned was Babe the Pig. In college our teacher was Spanish and showed movies with violence and sex without blinking an eye
I'm sure she wouldn't have jumped in front of the screen if someone was brutally slaughtered in slow motion.
Yes!! I'll never understand why we consider sex to be shocking but murders to be ok! Honestly I really hope kids would have more images of these scenes rather than the horrible scenes they see even in the news!
Load More Replies...My English teacher showed us Franco Zefirelli's Romeo and Juliet as a reward after we'd finished reading it. Guess she forgot about a steamy naked scene until it came on. I'll never forget the sight of a 60+ year old woman breaking a land-speed record to dive-bomb for that stop button!
A teacher of mine once held a cardboard box in front of the tv during a sex scene. He didn‘t realise the box had a gap at the bottom that was almost as huge as the small school tv screen ^^
I mean in high school, my religion teacher would show videos of crusades. And we would get in trouble if we stepped out
How was the resolution on that 13th century video?
Load More Replies...That's an important life lesson to learn about yourself. Will you cheat when no one is watching or will you follow the rules? Better to learn that in HS instead of when you have access to the company credit card and you get caught embezzling.
Better experiment. Ask them not to cheat and say he trusts them. Then see what happens.
The same but with more disappointment from the teacher😅
Load More Replies...I had a teacher in high school present an exam with college level questions for material on the government; Similar to what we'd been learning, but nothing we'd ever touched on. A few minutes in, another teacher poked her head in and said he was needed in the office, so he left and told us to just work silently until he got back. Naturally, as soon as he left, almost everyone ran for the text books across the room. When he got back, the teacher didn't say a word, walked to the front, and pulled a camera out from a pile of coats that's been there all year and says "Now...your real exam is to write me an essay tonight explaining why I shouldn't look at this tape according to laws we've been studying" Boom.
Sounds like a fine lesson in cooperative learning. As opposed to the "everybody else is your enemy" technique.
Well, it's good to know that the students like to help one another rout rather than keep all the answers for themselves.
It's fossilized. All the organics have been replaced with minerals anyway

I have a raccoon baculum (ebay!) that I pass around in anatomy class. Everyone wants selfies with it. Pretty funny weird.
A baculum is a Raccoons penis bone
Load More Replies...Uhh, "coprophage" mean to eat s**t, literally... Are you sure you didn't mean another but similar sounding word..?
Load More Replies...How many people read the collected comments before jumping in with their own? A lesson to be learned here.
Puh-lease! that is just silly... You can escape the Matrix, but we're stuck in this crappy reality.
The teacher was covering his back. A text message like that could make him a sex offender in the blink of an eye.
So then the correst response is not to text back and to let his head teacher know, NOT to humiliate a kid in class!
Load More Replies..."Remind" school interface, proxy server - I used it a lot while remote.
Load More Replies...I once saw some screenshots of a text that was between a student and her teacher. Basically, she wanted to make up for some late homework and asked for at least a C- if she managed to finish it all by a certain day. But autocorrect decided to be autocorrect and as it turned out she made a typo, replacing the word "make" with "sex" (a very unlikely typo and the whole conversation could have been fake, but still). The teacher responded, saying just the thought of her made him horny and agreed to do it after class at the back of the school. Then the student said that there was an autocorrect typo and she meant to say "make it up" not "sex it up". The teacher told her that he'd give her B+ if she never showed anyone those texts :'D
Entirely the teacher‘s fault. Trying to convince students of something and then be surprised when they believe it. (And before anyone says this was too ridiculous to believe, I‘m sure everybody experienced situations where they learned something that seemed utterly unbelievable and yet was still true.)
My 8th grade history teacher had a cot in one of the closets in his room. He bartender after school and just came back to the school and slept.
Why would a civics class be learning about date fruits? Though maybe this explains a lot about the current levels of political literacy.
Used to go from room to room in junior high, with every classes tv on and tuned to the World Series. No work was done during the World Series!
I once went to a Bible study that wound up skipping our reading in favor of watching the World Series. It was our home team in the running though, I'm sure Jesus understood.
Load More Replies...In the Air Force we were on an exercise and the intelligence officer banned us from watching the international cricket on the ops screen during start ups, so we told her she was late to work for the operation and she took off. Never gave us grief again because she was too ashamed to show her face being the intelligence officer who was fooled into believing the operation was two hours early
I have students that come to the classroom every day but are often miles away
My geography teacher had at his desk an old creaky wooden chair, he was an active energetic man and would often shift position as it squeaked and groaned - and the joints slowly moved further apart. And then one day the inevitable happened, just as the door opened slightly and the Headmaster (Principal if you're American) poked his head round, the chair finally collapsed, our teacher went down with it and yelled. "Aaagh my ass!!" Everyone exploded into laughter, even the Principal and the teacher himself
My 6th grade math teacher had a life sized cardboard cutout of himself that sat in the corner of the room. He also hung up pictures of his face all over the walls. When asked why, he said "I'm always watching." Then left the room ominously. Once in the middle of a test, it was dead silent, all of a sudden he screamed to scare everyone (it worked). then once he spend a whole period teaching us to harmonize with the backstreet boys. and once during a test he yelled "STAMPEDE DRILL" played the sound of a group of animals stampeding at full volume, and made us all get under our desks. And at the beginning of the year, he put a bowl of clam chowder outside by his classroom door. We planned to see how disgusting it got by the end of the year, but it ended up smelling so bad that the janitor had to throw it away even when he asked them not to. He was my all time favorite teacher and everyone who gets put in his class is blessed.
Last day of school grade 11, these two guys had been harassing me all year. Leaving nasty notes on my locker, dirty pictures at desks where I sat. Back then we didn't call it bullying, We had our name for it(which I won't state). One of these guys was the vice principals son and his friend. I am a female sports minded person. I was cleaning out my locker when the VP son knocked me into the locker. They were laughing I got up picked the VP's son up by the collar and Smashed him into the locker and closed the door, forgetting my locker was in front of the teachers lounge, Mr. Peacock was standing there. I said I'd get my butt to the office .He said what for we have been wanting to get that arrogant little brat all year but being who he was, they were afraid. With that a round of applause went up from the lounge. Thank you Mr. Peacock!
I remember one day in 9th grade there was a boy walking behind me who kept kicking me and I'd finally had enough so I turned around and punched him. Then I looked to see the teacher on hall duty just laughing his ass off.
Load More Replies...My history teacher would show up in costumes for the discussion of the day. For the Civil War he came in his Union outfit with sword, riding his white horse up the path behind our classroom. "Charge!" he yelled and zoomed back the other way. Later he "accidently" got his boot stuck in the trash can. He was great. Encouraged us all.
Ethics teacher in my last year of high school was the best for numerous reasons: 1. Doing random things when we enter the class like: yoga on his desk, scribbling like a mad scientist on his board, playing a game of snake and ladder with a big fluffy dice by himself or reading a book upside-down (HE was upside down on his chair). 2. I had my class with him as the first class of the day and the school forced the teacher to do a "reflective minute" where we are supposed to thank God for something, since he new a bunch of students were not Christians or don't believe in religions in general, he played 2 minutes of a parody of American soap opera called Le Coeur a ses raisons (if you understand French, YOU have to see this). 3. Headbanging like crazy when a student band started playing a song by Queen at the end of year show + dancing with a teacher (another cool one) when another band played the song Footloose.
My first day in junior high (middle school) we had gym class orientation. When the coach was telling us about the equipment we needed, he mentioned protection cups. I asked where I could get one. He just looked at me like I was the most pathetic thing he's ever seen.
we math and science educators are far more twisted and fun than we appear. 😁
Load More Replies...My 9th grade biology teacher argued that twins have the identical finger prints. She tried to prove this in murder mystery challenge, which is how our argument started. Her scientific method behind proving this ideology technically made sense but her lack of including different womb positions cost her any credibility.. It took a very heated 45 minute argument for her to finally admit she was wrong. This took place in one of the top ten public high schools in the USA (at the time). It was shameful. I switched schools shortly after....
When I was in Catholic high school, MANY years ago, the Church and Chong album called "Parochial School" came out. Hilarious and some of it true. The nuns at my school were very cool people. One day we decided to play a joke on our history teacher who was a nun. We had just come back from a retreat and told her we had met a Sister she had known in the Noviciate. She asked what her name was and we told her it was Sister Rosetta Stone. She kept questioning us about this Sister Rosetta Stone until it dawned on her and had quite a laugh. She asked us where we came up with it and we told her about the album and it was a character on it. She asked one of the girls who had it to bring it to next class. Sister Mary T shows up with a record player, closed the door to the classroom and we listened to the whole thing for class. Like I said, cool nuns.
My older sister took French and German at high school. She told me the German teacher made kids who yawned when she was talking put their heads out the window (one storey building) as they 'clearly needed fresh air'. I thought she was joking, but took only French as a second language anyway. I saw kids in the room next to us occasionally stick their head out the window. I don't think she was kidding. My sisters best story of her: She also had a doctorate, and (understandably) got frustrated at always being called Mrs. One day she snapped and growled "I didn't spend x years at University to be called Mrs!" This was unfortunately timed with Austin Powers being a movie that had come out within the last couple of years. I don't think she knew why the class cracked up so hard, but detentions ensued 😂
Senior year Sociology teacher, sitting on a stool, on top of his desk with a broomstick making machine gun noises, pretending to be a bomber pilot.... Yep, Pearl Harbor= pop quiz. RIP Mr. Dunn.
My 6th grade math teacher had a life sized cardboard cutout of himself that sat in the corner of the room. He also hung up pictures of his face all over the walls. When asked why, he said "I'm always watching." Then left the room ominously. Once in the middle of a test, it was dead silent, all of a sudden he screamed to scare everyone (it worked). then once he spend a whole period teaching us to harmonize with the backstreet boys. and once during a test he yelled "STAMPEDE DRILL" played the sound of a group of animals stampeding at full volume, and made us all get under our desks. And at the beginning of the year, he put a bowl of clam chowder outside by his classroom door. We planned to see how disgusting it got by the end of the year, but it ended up smelling so bad that the janitor had to throw it away even when he asked them not to. He was my all time favorite teacher and everyone who gets put in his class is blessed.
Last day of school grade 11, these two guys had been harassing me all year. Leaving nasty notes on my locker, dirty pictures at desks where I sat. Back then we didn't call it bullying, We had our name for it(which I won't state). One of these guys was the vice principals son and his friend. I am a female sports minded person. I was cleaning out my locker when the VP son knocked me into the locker. They were laughing I got up picked the VP's son up by the collar and Smashed him into the locker and closed the door, forgetting my locker was in front of the teachers lounge, Mr. Peacock was standing there. I said I'd get my butt to the office .He said what for we have been wanting to get that arrogant little brat all year but being who he was, they were afraid. With that a round of applause went up from the lounge. Thank you Mr. Peacock!
I remember one day in 9th grade there was a boy walking behind me who kept kicking me and I'd finally had enough so I turned around and punched him. Then I looked to see the teacher on hall duty just laughing his ass off.

For the Civil War he came in his Union outfit with sword, riding his white horse up the path behind our classroom. "Charge!" he yelled and zoomed back the other way. Later he "accidently" got his boot stuck in the trash can. He was great. Encouraged us all.
Ethics teacher in my last year of high school was the best for numerous reasons: 1. Doing random things when we enter the class like: yoga on his desk, scribbling like a mad scientist on his board, playing a game of snake and ladder with a big fluffy dice by himself or reading a book upside-down (HE was upside down on his chair). 2. I had my class with him as the first class of the day and the school forced the teacher to do a "reflective minute" where we are supposed to thank God for something, since he new a bunch of students were not Christians or don't believe in religions in general, he played 2 minutes of a parody of American soap opera called Le Coeur a ses raisons (if you understand French, YOU have to see this). 3. Headbanging like crazy when a student band started playing a song by Queen at the end of year show + dancing with a teacher (another cool one) when another band played the song Footloose.
My first day in junior high (middle school) we had gym class orientation. When the coach was telling us about the equipment we needed, he mentioned protection cups. I asked where I could get one. He just looked at me like I was the most pathetic thing he's ever seen.
we math and science educators are far more twisted and fun than we appear. 😁

Her scientific method behind proving this ideology technically made sense but her lack of including different womb positions cost her any credibility.. It took a very heated 45 minute argument for her to finally admit she was wrong. This took place in one of the top ten public high schools in the USA (at the time). It was shameful. I switched schools shortly after....
When I was in Catholic high school, MANY years ago, the Church and Chong album called "Parochial School" came out. Hilarious and some of it true. The nuns at my school were very cool people. One day we decided to play a joke on our history teacher who was a nun. We had just come back from a retreat and told her we had met a Sister she had known in the Noviciate. She asked what her name was and we told her it was Sister Rosetta Stone. She kept questioning us about this Sister Rosetta Stone until it dawned on her and had quite a laugh. She asked us where we came up with it and we told her about the album and it was a character on it. She asked one of the girls who had it to bring it to next class.
