Back when i was in Grade 11 (this was like 6 years ago), i had picked Cooking, Drama, and Woodworking as my 3 choice's for the start of the year, for Woodwork though, we had a teacher who always went furious over the tiniest of things, when people werent paying attention to the instructions on the board, or even when we were, he would bark the orders and measurements out in a big loud voice. If you screwed up the measurements on your piece of wood, he would toss it into the garbage, just one simple mistake would do it. He didnt take s**t from no one. The other students who gave him s**t would get an earful and marched down to the office to see the principal with him right behind you all the way there....
Other than this teacher, which i wont name, the rest of them were fine. Suprisingly, this same teacher i had for Woodworking classe's still works there.

Ive had a teacher yell at me and say my mother would be ashamed of me, without realising my mother was working at the back of the classroom :D

the difference between woodworking and any other subject? minute errors can lead to a cut off limb etc (thus lawsuits and all that jazz). Although he was probably over the top with his demands etc, he had every right to be a strict teacher.

And if you get measurements wrong your projects don't turn out correct, and you get less marks for them.
You should be thankful FX you mink, he was trying to help you.

Mr Eales grade 8 math's teacher.

I actually cut my left thumbnail in half during a Year 8 woodwork class.
Worst high school teacher was a maths teacher who was more obsessed with being a teacher that everyone like than being one that taught well.
The Pizza Haven around the corner from school saw a lot of business from our Year 11 Methods class, and I fell way behind in Year 12 Methods because the Asian kids understood everything anyway and because I cbf'd asking for more assistance. A mate in the same class ended up going to Chinese school on the weekend to get more help from another teacher.

I had an awful Maths teacher who stunk of booze. I found a BROWN used condom in his classroom one day and he went bright red. I would hope that no student at my school, GHETTO HIGH, was desperate enough to **** him.
My PE teacher was a prick too, almost got suspended for calling him a 'thick ****'. He did have a hand in my actual suspension though. Thick ****.

my year ten sport/outdoor ed teacherwas hilarious. when he was teaching us ANYTHING he would take it ultra-seriously. He was also really pesimistic and thought everything would somehow result in the death of a student. For example he would say something along the lines of:
"I know you kids like to wear those 'skateboarding shoes', but in my class I want them tied up, because if your shoe flies off during a game it will hit someone in the head and kill them, and I don't want to be the one telling their parents whay they're dead and have to fill out the paperwork."
He'd get really worked up about it too. I can understan the importance of thing like this, but surely he takes it just a little too seriously.
My year nine S+E teacher wasn't a bad teacher at all, but he was the most badass killing machine of a teacher ever. He's Singaporian and used to be in the army there as a sniper..... A PARACHUTE SNIPER!!!!!!:eek:
also he told us disturbing stories of his army days like how one of the recruits his friend was training dropped a grenade and his friend pushed the recruit out of the way and was killed.
He also knows how to make bombs, and features in a documentary about bomb making.
He also hunts wild animals.... WITH A BOW AND MOTHER ****ING ARROW!!!!!:eek:

I had two horrible English teachers in Year 12. The first, Miss F, was an elderly teacher who was new to the school at the beginning of the year and she made us do really weird things. She turned the lights off when she made the class read aloud and she would only touch the door-handle with a piece of paper between her hand and the metal. One time to "warm up for reading a play" she made us move all the tables and chairs to the back of the room, then proceeded to make the class stand around in a circle and stare at a piece of chalk in the middle (possibly to exorcise some kind of demon which had taken up residence inside the chalk).
Later that year, around the end of Term 3, Miss F went crazy. I wasn't in class at the time, but according to friends she climbed on top of her desk and was screaming that all the children were possessed. Her replacement arrived three days later and boy were we in for a shock. Our replacement teacher was Miss L. She was even older than Miss F and she looked very familiar. During the second class with her I quickly realised she looked just like Mrs Doubtfire. She (he?) was by far the worst teacher I have ever had. We learnt nothing in the weeks leading up to our HSC, and her lesson plan seemed to consist of reading the same Robert Frost poem over and over again. I spent the rest of the year in her class ignoring her and studying what I had learnt from previous lessons.
My HSC mark for English ended up being 66 :(
tl;dr - my year 12 English teacher went mad and was replaced by a man in drag.

Mr Braithwaite in Intermediate School (age 11 and 12).
He was a smooth customer alright; loves the girls and gave them top marks for flashing a bit of pre-pubescent tit his way.
Mr Birthrate we used to call him.
My current Maths teacher, Mr. Hendy (or Hendi, nobody really knows), is an Egyptain who you can't really understand alot of the time. He's in a way a good teacher, because he actually wants you to excel, if you're good, but he just gives way too much work, and he gets really mad on ocassion. One time he suspended someone for saying 'Dude, where's my camel?' and 'Your pyramid's on fire' and he once went off at me because someone else threw a tennis ball at the wall and I wouldn't tell him who it was, even though I didn't know.

As said earlier, I ****ing hate inept maths teachers.
The ones that just don't know jack about the subject especially. If you re teaching year 12 Methods and I ask you for help don't just print off a university guide to doing the problem and then give it to me, I can do that myself, I want an actual person to explain it to me. Dumass.
I actually liked Maths before I had him, too.
My worst teacher was definitely my English teacher;
She kept yelling at the class that we were all terrorists and kept getting annoyed at me for correcting her spelling mistakes. But really, how hard is it to spell chaos [or choas the way she wrote it], not to mention she couldn't quite grasp the difference between a plant and a planet; which made for a funny story when one fell next to her, I'll let you figure out which one it was.
Mind you that high school for me was about 13 years ago and around 20,000km away :p

I had an ex-army woodwork teacher who told me after i was cought mucking around in his class, that he would build a cross and crucify me (!) if I didn't improve my behavior.
Hey, wonder if I went to school with FX? They sound kinda similar. His name was Rowberry. **** he was.

I had one substitute who was... interesting, to put it mildly. He would tell the class to stop working around three times every lesson so we could have a "rest stop", during which he would either tell jokes or relay some arcane wisdom. This wisdom included things like: how he was related to Einstein, how the Chinese hide their nuclear weapons in the Gobi dessert and the various implications of that and how he personally knew that the power of the human mind was limitless and could enable fantastic feats such as unaided human flight.
By far my wost teacher was my Year 8 cooking teacher. There was a large degree of animosity between us; she hated me for constantly attacking her advice ("you can't trust anything you grow or produce yourself because you don't know what's in it, whereas supermarket items have it all written on a label") and the general nature of her classes ("the chicken is only that colour because I left it next to some fruit and vegetables" WTF?), and I didn't like her because she was an angry teacher anyway and I didn't want to put up with her crap. She would frequently invent misdemeanours that I had committed in order to throw me out of class, only letting me back in when I had learned my "lesson". I learned soon enough that if I asked what it was that I had done I would only receive vitriol and the flat end of a cleaver into my desk, so it was better to just say that I had seen the error of my ways. When I used Middle Eastern spices in a recipe she asked me how often I associated with Ay-Rabs, and marked me down for not deviating from the recipe and putting chocolate on my pizza like the other children, when I had cooked a potato and rosemary pizza that was already pretty different to the recipe.
I really didn't like that teacher. And I only had her for 2 terms.

The Maths teachers at my school were probably the best of the lot, actually, and probably the best two of them were our Software Dev teachers too - a shame about the state of the NSW SDD curriculum. >_>
Hell, most of the teachers I had were at least competent, and the English teacher I started out hating in year 7 turned into one of my favourite teachers in the later years that I had her (though my marks don't really reflect it... >_>). The students were (probaby still are) Camden High's main problem.
Anyway, what I remember: we had one Geography teacher who'd tell these crazy stories - we'd get him to tell stories to get out of doing anything, and it usually worked; one of my Science classes was screwed around a fair bit when a teacher quit in the second semester, and the replacement did an incompetent job before quitting, too; and there was this one younger (say, 20s) female teacher who was fairly hot, but turned into a bit of a bitch - especially when she mated up to the cool kids in class.

My year 11 and 12 Physics teacher was pretty awesome. He was very strict and a lot of people hated him but if you got on his good side he was a brilliant teacher who really knew his stuff.
There was even a rumour that he turned down a job at NASA but I don't know about that. I mean, being a physics teacher in a rural high school really doesn't rate over working for NASA...
Had a dim-witted physics teacher with wacky angry management issues (to put it lightly). Rarely a class when students wouldn't work him up to breaking point - chairs thrown, beakers smashed, lots of screaming, and students leaving entertained without learning anything. Probably better suited for the drama department. :p

I remember my physics teacher was away sick for a week and we had a crappy substitute who didn't go through any of the work set for us. When our teacher came back we were meant to have a test but because the crap substitute didn't teach us anything he took us through some revision and then 'forgot' to erase it from the blackboard before we did the test. Awesome :D
Our physics teacher loved astronomy. He loved it so much he taught it to us for 4 weeks in year 12 even though it wasn't in the syllabus.
Then with a few weeks left he threw a tantrum saying how far behind we were because we never pay attention to him.
In the end we had to come into school for 4 days during SWOT Vac doing 6 hour physics days to finish the class.*
*I barely studied for my year 12 exams. But if I wanted to I would have been pissed.

Two of my Year 7 teachers disappeared without a trace. My computer teacher, Mr D, was really shifty and always appeared to be about the jump out of his skin at the slightest noise. There had been rumours all year that he had been growing marijana in his back yard, which probably resulted in his eventual disappearance.
My Science teacher, Mr H, turned out to be schizophrenic. He actually wasn't a bad teacher, but he eventually fled town halfway through term two, leaving a note saying werewolves were after him. We had substitutes for the rest of the year. We learnt nothing and spent lessons out in the Regerneration Area* "classifying plants" to see what species they belong to. Most of us used to run off into the bush to watch girls pretending to make out.
*The Regeneration Area is a plant-covered region which surrounds Broken Hill. It was created to prevent the really bad dust storms the area used to suffer from after the mass-removal of all plant life in the late 1800s.

Hey, just cause you're paranoid doesn't mean they AREN'T after you... Who knows, maybe a pack of Werewolves were hot on his trail; seems like they got your other two teachers as well, he just managed to get away is all.

If only the werewolves took away some of the ratty children in the lower grades. I swear my year was the last of the 'good' years, the kids who came after just kept getting worse and worse.
