I have a funny one
I was in Special ed... and in the lowest version where i was getting straight A's because it was too easy. My school had 2 levels of special ed and a "severely emotionally disturbed" Class
I was in That severely emotionally disturbed class for a week in my 7th grade year. Now All the other students were cussing and misbehaving non-stop. So After a week in it, When The teacher called on me, I told him "Shut up, you Fu(king cun+". He gasped in complete shock and said "that's not like you"
So I said "exactly. But it's like every other student in this class and it doesn't even phase you when they do it. So Why is it a shock when I do? Oh right because I can actually behave. get me out of here"
needless to say, He agreed with me and I was out and put back into regular classes for a week or 2 before going to the lowest form of special ed the school had, SDC AKA Special Day Class. Stayed in SDC until the end of 10th grade then got advanced to the higher version I should have been in from day 1.
I got a stupid story. in the 8th grade, my main teacher, Really I can't consider her a teacher since she barely taught a damn thing. But I was getting straight A's in this SDC. Well I should have but she was tampering with grades on purpose because she was afraid if everyone got a's, the school district would get suspicious since they don't expect special ed students with learning disabilities to get straight a's
Anyways, This woman told my mother that she wanted to fail me on purpose because she felt I could get use out of another year of her teachings

I've got a funny story from my high school chemistry class. We were about to perform an experiment which required the use of scientific thermometers.
The teacher began by pulling one of the thermometers out of a drawer, which was packaged inside a protective cardboard tube. He removed the thermometer from the tube, wrapped his fist around it, and started to lecture us:
You can guess what happened next.

Got any memorable stories about teachers you had in school, good or bad? We had a female gym teacher that was gorgeous. I had the biggest crush on her. I think I was 11 or 12 years old. When she got to teaching us wrestling she picked me to help show different holds. Needless to say I could not concentrate. My mind was somewhere else. All but one time she picked me to be her helper. Great memory.

He left New Jersey New York to go to LA beause he wanted to be a daner/actor/model. I highly doubt you remember ANY teacher. New Jersey New York isn't a place.

There's the old adage. "If you can't DO...TEACH!"

There's the old adage. "If you can't DO...TEACH!" As a teacher, that's the most retarded saying about the profession. If I can not build a rocket, how the shit can I teach you to build a rocket?

deembastille True, but someone has to first invent the rocket. That's the real meaning of the adage. Known facts can be taught, but it takes imagination to discover those facts and ideas in the first place, and then to further develop the facts and ideas in the second place.

So we can't invent the rocket? We have to wait for someone ELSE to do it? That's about as asinine as that "old adage". I DO, WE DO, YOU DO. That is what all my lesson plans must consist of. I do it first to show you. We do it together to practice. You do is self explanatory. So if I have no idea how to solve X, how dare I want my student to?

Well if you can't even see the obvious how can you foresee what will be? A pupil can be taught the rudiments of playing a piano, and of reading music, but not everyone turns out to be another Mozart. That takes extra over the norm.

What do you know about teaching? Quoting something from God knows when has nothing to do with anything.
What IS the obvious?

OK genius, so answer me a question. Teachers teach from books written by others, of ideas thought up by others, and are told to teach within a curriculum laid down by others, and they in turn are governed by others of a higher administration. How many of your colleagues ever get an original thought and idea in their heads...and carry it through to conclusion? I would hazard a guess at not too many. From what I see most are usually too snowed under with what they're given to teach to think for themselves. The bottom line is they teach what others have discovered. Such pupils who have out-mastered the masters. And that's my final word on the subject. Other things to do. If you don't agree you don't agree. No skin off my nose.

We had a substitute teacher who was a former wrestler. He would say "time check chump!" to some student to check the wall clock. He was as eager to get out as we were. One day there was this kid who was a real problem case (eventually became an opera singer!) and the teacher took him into the hallway, saying nothing at first, then he suddenly rammed a fist into the wall next to his face. He told him, "That could have been your head."

You must've been the envy of your entire classI guess so. A couple of the guys asked me if I would pretend I was sick so maybe they would be asked. But I was stingy and never turned her down.
