One thing I learned about my many years of school is that most teachers are boring. They are strict, not funny, and don't really want to make me learn. Coaches are sometimes the same, and some of them can become your worst enemy. But I learned last year that not all teachers/coaches are like this. One of my teachers, who was also one of my coaches, made me enjoy his class or sport. He would say jokes all day on just about everyone. Just last week, he had our whole athletics class laughing. He was guiding us for our stretching.Here's what he said: "Groin stetch to the left, point towards (this town.) Groin stretch to the right, towards (this town.) Hey, Jermal (who was a rather large boy, almost 300lbs.) do you always point towards Popeyes?" That had us laughing. Then he continued: "Jermal was in Popeyes and said 'I have you orders, but I ate them. I also ate the waiters. They were extra spicy." He also made a joke about me that never seemed to die. It started after a basketball game. I asked him if we were going straight home, or were we stopping somewhere. He told me,"No, we aren't going to a strip club. There's no time for that." He told the whole team about that, and kept joking about it for about the whole year. "Hey, lay of those strip clubs." Well, anyway, does anybody have some stories from a funny teacher? (btw, if these seemed barely funny, then I guess you had to be there because at the time all of us were laughing.)
I once had the greatest Art History teacher EVER. Not only was he interesting, he did some flat-out hilarious things. One time, a kid asked to go to the bathroom, which my art teacher allowed. After he left, my teacher had us all take our stuff and go down the stairs (it was a 2nd story building). We all watched when the kid came back to the room and almost had a fit. The most funny thing he ever did was while fixing a slide projector... he acted like he had been electrocuted and fell to the floor, seemingly dead or unconscious. He actually lay there for about 3 minutes, totally immobile. Kids were about to call the office, then he started laughing his head off. Damn, that was funny. This teacher was actually independently wealthy, and lost money by teaching at the school. That tells you that he really wanted to teach it, and was interested in it. Great guy.
I'm glad someone replied to one of my threads. I started two new threads with a combined 130 views and no replies. I thought maybe it was the "Let's ignore RC Cola," day. Your art history teacher sounds pretty cool. Its cool that he taught even though he would lose money.
I've had some pretty cool teachers. None of them have been all out hilarious, but there's been some good ones. I've had some luck with English/Language Arts teachers. The past three years (this one included), my English teachers have either been funny, lenient or a combination of both. Last year I had a teacher who did some funny stuff, was a huge Coke nut and let us all in during break and lunch to mess around with his Pinball machines and Foosball. The year before that, our teacher talked to us all the time.. funny class-wide conversations nearly daily. And this year, even though he doesn't seem as wacky or lenient, he's still a funny guy. My graphics design teacher last year was cool too. He didn't care if we messed around with the settings, surfed the 'Net, played games.. as long as we did our work on time. We all did. 'Course, he had some pretty nice competitions offering some nice cash prizes too
Hahaha I was wish I had a teacher like that. I laughed out loud reading this, cause I could picture one of my old teachers doing this, even though he never did something that extreme. But damn, that is pretty funny stuff.
I had some cool teachers they werent really funn but they were cool. Last year my U.S. History teacher would so all sorts of crazy stuff, we ordered pizza twice in there, we would stop what we were doing and go play basketball with a gym class, uhhh.. watch movies that had nothing to deal with history ex: Shrek,Big Daddy,Little Nicky. Also my Bio I teacher last year did neat tricks and let us use notes on tests (we took notes everyday though)
My calculus teacher was pretty cool. Since we finished the material early in the winter semester, we ended up having long basketball discussions (or even games) during class time, which was at the end of the day. Plus, where else can you get a teacher that'll do this to Chuck Beryy's "Johnny B. Goode" spontaneously in the middle of class? He'd also take a Skipper's hat (like the one from Gilligan's Island) and play the theme to the show while he watched us do those horrible vector analysis problems, or play Aretha Franklin's "Chain Chain Chain" song as we'd work on the chain rule.
My school councillor could also be very funny at times. One time, I had just finished a meeting with him. We began talking about basketball, and I brought up the famous Willis Reed appearance in Game 7 of the 1970 Finals against the Lakers. My councillor though it was before 1970... 1968 or something. Then the bell rang. Meanwhile, my coucillor was busy on his computer looking for the answer. I needed to get to class, so I began to leave. He called me back. "What class do you have next period?" "Global studies with (I'm not going to embarass anyone )." "Stay here. You can miss that class. It's not important." Ah... freshman year of high school. Good times.
My Teacher in High School just told nice Anecdotes about when he was in School . . and things they use to do .. . Added a lot of Perspective to things for me MR GRAY, IF YOU OUT THERE THANKS!! Rocket River . . . The thing is . . .. <-- his favorite phrase
