My 11th-grade chemistry teacher was (reportedly) a recovering alcoholic who was living out of his car because his wife kicked him out.
He was an odd guy and not a great teacher, but a nice enough fellow.
Still, I will never forget the final class we had prior to our Christmas exams (My high school wasn't semestered and we had two sets of exams, one in December and one in June.)
The final class was supposed to be exam review where the teacher would answer any of our questions heading into the test.
He came into the class, took off his coat and placed his briefcase on his desk. He then announced, "I'm gonna get some Doritos" and never returned.
We didn't see him again until the first class after Christmas break because another teacher proctored our exam. Upon being asked, he had no recollection at all of leaving the previous class.

I had an Industrial Tech teacher from 6th-8th grade who would be in another room of the class looking at porn and smoking cigarettes. All the while we would be in the main part of the class on the computer playing games and just chilling. There was no instruction going on the whole time.
I also remember in the 12th grade there was a teacher in my school who would bang the back of his head on the chalkboard very loudly if he made a mistake. It made no sense.

My Sociology Professor in College. She would go on these random, anecdotal 'example' of what she was talking about and spend like five minutes explaining it before somehow segueing into a completely different topic. Her lecture were so nonsensical and dull that damn near everybody completely zoned out during them. But it gets better, during her lecture she would randomly give us random, nonsensical and just downright baffling advice and 'facts' such as:
-Do not confide in your dog -Storing information on computers in unsafe -Shoes can be lucky -There are only seven planets -She's been in lots of jails -Gays and Lesbians aren't the same thing.

Had a teacher in high school, he was an older guy. Probably one of the nicest, most easy going teachers you'd ever meet. Unless the students got him really mad. Then he would practically go into Hulk mode and just yell at the top of his lungs at everyone. It was a shame because students would take advantage of how nice he was and just sluff off in class or not do homework. That would get to him after too long and he'd shout like a crazy man and then people went all quiet afterwards and were just kind of all okay now we'll listen. Every once in a while, his daughter would come in and sub for him. She was hot!!

My first geometry teacher in high school was roughly the size of Yokozuna and never left her chair. She picked things off of the floor (chalk, books, calculators) using a pair of barbecue tongs. She was eventually replaced with the hippie math teacher from the junior high school. He was passionate about three things: math, track and field and pot.
Speaking of track, my computer/journalism "teacher" was only hired for his superior coaching skills. He had no idea how to teach. I never wrote one article or designed one program in full, yet I got straight A's. And why did I do so well? I brought in a zip disk full of ROMs and emulators and put them on everyone's computer. Oh... And the computers were G3 Macs that ran illegal copies of Windows because it "saved him money." (Note: This was 1998-99. Only one computer had the Internet, and it was dialup.)
And finally, my German teacher liked to "throw back a few" at lunch and tell us how 80% of the students in the school were stupid and "not worth the (federal) funding."

Corny teachers I'm glad I didn't have to deal with Mr Mann: a sexist gym teacher from my middle school Mr. Eaton: big teacher that eat a lot Mr, Arbogast: A chem teacher that loved to play with PH with his classroom door open. He also stink bombed the classrooms of teachers that got on his nerves.

At one time MS had the worst public schools in the states. So had plenty of crappy teachers.
Ms Richardson- Was such a bad teacher that by the time I reached 5th grade they had the teacher's aides teaching her classes and all she did was grade papers. They couldn't fire her cause of tenure. She ended up "teaching" another 8 years.
Mr Hall-9th Grade English,it was bad enough my jr high that year was considered one of the worst in the state and nation. This guy had built up so much vacation time that he only showed up maybe 10 days total that year. We got told as long as we showed up and didn't cause problems we would all get an A. I went to Advanced ED classes once a week. Which meant I missed all my normal classes. All my other teachers the day before would give me the class work in advance. Well since Mr Hall was never there I didn't get any from him. Then the 3rd nine weeks ends I get my report card and he had given me a 15 in English. My parents came to the school the next day. Mr Hall actually showed up. Said it was because I didn't turn in some report he assigned the day I was gone. My mother asked how he could even consider himself a teacher when he was never there. She mentioned bringing this up with the school board. He quickly said "Well I guess since your son is in Advanced Ed I can just give him a 90 for the 9 weeks." that was the last time he showed up that year.
My 2 years at Moss Point high,10th and 12th grade I had the same math teacher. Who would show up take role. Then tell us to do lesson whatever in the math book. She couldn't explain how to do any of the work. And we realized if you showed up and handed in any kind of work you got an A. Years after I graduated I saw her at a store. She apologized to me and said she had quit teaching because she didn't like it.
But the best was what happened my senior year with accounting class. I needed another math credit. Figured accounting should be easy.Plus there was two accountng teachers.One of them it was all she taught ,5 classes a day. The other taught it once a day and did typing the rest of the day. I had had her for typing while in 10th grade. Before I took her class I knew how to type. So I would get through with my work early. Pull out a book and read,while usually chewing my nails. One day she walks by as I am chewing them. Slaps my hand with a ruler which caused my thumbnail to jam into my gums and they started bleeding. So I was hoping I wouldnt have her for accountng. I show up first day and have her. Well a friend that was 2 years younger than me had her earlier in the day for typing and hated her. Every day during his class she would goto the bathroom and be gone for at least 10 minutes. So bunch of the kids went and got condoms from the health center. She left the room they open them up and cover the two markerboards with them. She comes back and sees the condoms slowly sliding down the boards,grabs her purse. Walks out of the school. Gets into her car and never came back. So we got a sub for her. But the sub could only be there one day a week. So there was a sub for the sub. All we did in that class was watch movies,play cards and goof off. When they gave us the final exam in accounting I wrote down BONDO for every answer and still got a 98 in the class for the year.
But the two that top them all. Again I was a senior. And was part of the video annual staff. I was out at lunch filming stuff when a buddy told me to got the chem lab. We peek in the door and see the new chem teacher having sex with a student. He gets fired. 3 weeks later another teacher,who i think thought match,quits. Later on we find out he had been having sex with a student.

My 2nd grade teacher told us (with a smile on her face, like the whole thing was a big funny joke that everyone was in on), "We call them (the n word) and they call us honkies." Wow even though you and I are about the same age,and both grew up in smallish rural southern towns I am still shocked she got away with that.

I've got a bunch.
-Freshman year of high school I had a sub tell me to get under a table because I was already finished with the project we were working on so I was reading and chatting with other people like the regular teacher allowed. So after I'm under the table, after arguing with her, she puts a foot on me. So this lady had to go at least 250 lbs so, being a pissed off 14 year old, said "Get your f***ing fat foot off me!" Got detention. We had this sub for a week and she broke us all individually. One kid who was a sophomore with no history of getting in trouble was so keyed up by this lady that he threw a chair near the end of her week.
-Sophomore year I had a science sub that took me into the hall to yell at me because a friend said "They won't let Pee Wee Herman on TV because he's a faggot!" and I asked if he was retarded. So obviously I was the one deserving to be yelled at. Dude went off for like 5 minutes about how it's wrong to say to retarded, repeating it as many times as possible as loud as he could, because and I quote, "My son is a retard!" So much irony.
-Freshman year of college one of my teachers was a lady who became a math teacher there because my high school school district wouldn't let her teach there anymore. I'm partially numerically dyslexic so some of my numbers flop around in my head and at one point, I ended up teaching the class because I kept pointing out her mistakes.
-Sophomore year of college a math teacher walked in on the first day and told us about how he was in no way qualified to teach the class for 15 minutes before starting the first lesson.

Hippy Hammond the maths teacher, who "taught" during my secondary school years, was surly, yellow-toothed, constantly stinking of cigarettes, and clearly spent most of his free time amongst the dazzling white lights. Clearly did not want to be there, and just left his classes to their own devices most of the time. I was shocked to learn he actually lasted until retirement.

I forgot one! I had a math teacher in high school that also taught physics and had a fascinating theory about how accelerated time travel in a forward direction could theoretically work. I once got my class out of a Friday test by showing up to class early and getting him started on his theory. Two hours later, first period was over and the test was delayed until Tuesday.

I had a drama teacher that got arrested for abusing a student after I had already left. What creeps me out is that he seemed to be really fond of me. Now I know why. *shudders
Worst teacher I ever had, though, was this one we all called Scar Face ('cause she had a scar on her face... duh). That seems really nasty, which I guess it was looking back, but man, was she a bitch! It was weird, 'cause she would have days where she was really nice, but those were few and far between. Before class, we always used to guess whether she would be having a good day or a bad day. It's like she had split personality disorder, or something.
I also had a teacher from Cornwall who used to randomly start dancing during class.

I am going to change any names.
-When I was in seventh grade we had some pretty crummy teachers but the worst one was the science teacher. When you turned your paper in it was a crapshoot as to whether or not it would actually get graded or if you would get a zero on it "because you did not turn it in". We played Win Lose or Draw once and if you were the drawer and you did not know something you could pass. Most of the time people got up, saw what they had to draw and then immediately passed. One time we had three of the most boring videos known to man and a quiz over said videos. Nearly everyone failed the quiz and this includes A students so we had to re-watch said videos. Probably the dumbest thing we done was played a game Oh Deer. Which would have been good for first graders but not seventh graders.
-In 8th grade I had this math teacher who would frequently throw something at someone who was not doing what they were supposed to. He had at one point a foam light bulb but someone stole it. The best one was there was this guy aggravating a girl and he threw a dry erase marker at the guy. The marker missed and hit the wall and broke. Then there was a science teacher who would always wear insanely tight pants.
-One time in 8th grade our English teacher went away for about two weeks and she had this sub who was a complete jerk. No one liked him and all were glad to see our regular teacher return. A couple of weeks later our history teacher told us he was going to be out and several students said "Please don't get Mr. Davis" We go in the room and guess who the sub is, that's right Mr. Davis. After a minute someone was sent to the office for some BS reason. Then within about 5 minutes he says he is going back where he came from and storms out. The assistant principal comes in and yells at us telling us he said he would never come back again. A few minutes later they get a new sub in. This one was real cool and said she did not see what the problem was.
When our regular teacher returned Monday he basically took our side and explained that Mr Davis thought he was going to be teaching 6th graders that day and he wound up with 8th graders. It sounds silly but with 6th graders the last class was the planning period for 6th grade teachers. If he would have been with 6th graders he would have been able to leave at 1:40 but because he was with 8th graders he was going to have to stay there until 3 p.m. What was funny about the whole ordeal was that after he left I would occasionally ask one of my friends in a Morticia Addamms Style "Wonder whatever happened to the nice Mr. Davis"
-When I was a junior in high school my art teacher was the nicest person you could imagine but sometimes she could get really weird. For instance one time we had a test where an answer was "Same old s***". The weirdest thing about her class was that for a good chunk of the semester she did not have a room. Her classroom used to be in the basement of a small building with a couple other classes. The room she was teaching in they needed it for another class so they gave her a room in what was called the vocational building. First of all the room itself at one time was used for some type of shop class but had not been used in years. As a result it had been sealed off from the hallway. The only two ways to get to it was to either go in through the outside or go through the auto shop. Since the auto shop teacher did not want a bunch of people going through his class that meant the only way to get into the room was by going outside. The worst thing about this classroom was that it had no type of heat or AC in it and had a tin roof. When school starts in Tennessee it is still very hot and remains that way until September eventually by the time December comes along it is pretty cold.
When she expressed her problems with the room they found her a room across the street at the middle school in a an area with maybe four classrooms max. Eventually the middle school needed that room and she was told she would have to teach in the room without air or heat. She filed a grievance against the school and refused to teach in said room. Our school had several special rooms which teachers who needed to use them could reserve. Usually we had our class in what was called the presentation room simply because of it being the special room that was rarely used. When a teacher needed it, the art teacher would use the library or computer lab. Finally toward the end she just used the auditorium since no one ever used it.
After the semester ended they somewhat fixed the room as a result of her greivence. They reopened the room from the hallway and installed an HVAC system in it. However it seemed like the job they done to fix it was halfway done at best. They had pretty much made the class a bit smaller by making a new hallway from where the room was sealed off all the way to the outside door in the room. To separate the room from the hallway they put up a chain-link fence and the "door" to the art room was a gate. A year after I graduated her husband wrote a letter to the paper about the way the school was treating her and then mentioned her classroom wall is a chainlink fence.

In grade school I had Mr Catalano as a gym teacher. In jr high, Mr Cardidio. And in high school, Mr Bell. And all three of them looked exactly alike! They acted the same and talked the same, like robots. I can still hear those monotone voices saying "Push ups, close grippers-diamonds if your strong!" over and over. I remain convinced that there is a machine somewhere churning these guys out.
Also one year in high school I had a math substitute who spent the whole class telling us stories about his past as a correctional officer. When the regular teacher got back I promptly told him "Thst was some great substitute you had for us." He said "Oh yeah?" and I said "Yeah, I haven't slept that good in weeks."

From 7th grade until graduation there was a sub from Africa that took every chance she got to rant about how American kids acted. She was so bad about it that kids didn't even get in trouble for cussing her out.
My 10/12 grade English teacher's friends was notorious for falling asleep in class and stinking up the English corner of the school. One time she fell asleep during a assembly. The speaker got mad because kids were laughing and when he asked what was so funny, they pointed at her.
There was an English teacher at my high school that got popped in the mouth each year by one of his male students.

My younger brother's shop teacher choked a kid during class and got fired. But it wasn't with my brother's class so he didn't get to see it. It's weird because it was obviously serious but the students treated it as more of a funny thing because that teacher was stereotypically weird to begin with.

Wow even though you and I are about the same age,and both grew up in smallish rural southern towns I am still shocked she got away with that. It's strange. I had forgotten about for several years. I can't remember what led to me remembering it. I saw in the local paper a couple weeks ago that she had passed away after several years of bad health. Aside from that one bizarre incident, she was great, and probably one of my favorite teachers. It seems so random and inexplicable.

Most of my teachers were pretty normal. Some were bad, like my grade 10 math teacher who didn't give time to solve math problems, but I'd have to say the craziest and most assholish thing happened when I was in university. I took this anthropology class on evolution and the prof there was ok but she was wanting people to come on time. There was one student who ended up being late and the prof didn't want to let her in. The thing was, this student was in a wheel chair, and the reason she was late was because she was in a wheel chair. So they had an argument and the prof just stormed out of the classroom. The woman in the wheel chair was a bit upset at this, and like, that tops it for me.
My girlfriend had the best one, where a teacher in middle school was being taunted by some kids in the class, and then he started hitting himself, and like, freaked the f*** out in front of everyone and he was gone from the school for a year after that.

I had a gym teacher in elementary school who'd wear really short shorts with no underwear so his dick would kind of poke out. He'd also sometimes change with us.
Being older, I really can't believe how f***ed up that was.
My teacher in grade 4 just hated me so I'd get sent out in the hall every single day. I was a horrible student, but she didn't even need a reason. I could sneeze and I'd be out of there.
