The fall semester is in full swing, and Jimmy Fallon has decided to celebrate it. For the hashtag segment on The Tonight Show, Fallon has asked people to tweet the craziest things about their teachers. And even thought it is a subject he already explored a few years ago, the abundance of hilarious replies prove that it's inexhaustible. From personal remarks about their marriage to social experiments in class, these teachers and professors will certainly remain in their students' memory forever. Just not necessarily in a good way. Scroll down to enjoy the funniest #MyTeacherIsWeird entries and upvote your favorites.

In my school we had the Thompson family-- 8 kids. A lot of them were in the school band, and our band director would just call them by their number. Peter was 7. Eileen was 8. He joked that he would retire after they all graduate. Sure enough, Eileen graduated from high school, and our band director retired.
She's teaching. You found a way to speak in a public manner and fill time while keeping your audience engaged. Public Speaking 101.
I had a teacher who used to do that same thing but with his prosthetic leg
That's honestly why some people go to the bathroom, just to get out of class.
Please tell me you all threw her a party when it finally came through!
That happened during an accounting final. I went up to the professor and asked what a certain term met and I heard her say "Crap" under her breath as she stood up and announced to everyone to take their pencils and put a line through question 21, that she'd forgotten to go over that in class and that everyone would get automatic credit for it. I saw so many relieved faces.
This one's quiet easy. Make a simple equation of your class' thermostat-temperature. Easiest extra credit ever.
Our high school rugby team were known as partiers. The coach tried endlessly to find out who the drinkers were. So one road trip, he asked two of his trusted straight and sober players to make a list of names of players that were illegally partaking in alcohol. Monday morning and the team showed up with a new haircut. The right side of their heads had the hair shaved off in a line over their ears. When the coach asked who the drinkers were, they said "look for the shaved heads." It seems when these player were drunk and passed out on the floor, the honest players shaved their hair as they slept. Oopsie!
Jesus, by the time you graduate, I'll be in my mid-30s, world-weary, jaded, and... oh wait, I've been like that since I left school.
My driver's ed teacher used to answer the phone according to a popular Yellow Pages ad on tv at the time. "Tippie's Canoes..Tyler Speaking" "Franks Mule Farm..which ass do you want to speak to."
