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.

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.

That happened during an accounting final. I went up to the professor and asked what a certain term met and I heard her say "C**p" 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.

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!

When I was 6, the whole family went camping in the mountains. As we were going to bed one night in our tent and we were just falling asleep, we heard a scream from outside. Our tent came down, everything was packed up and we left. Found out the next morning that a mother bear and her cub wandered into the campsite and my grandmother, being the strong woman she was, hit the bear in the head with a camp chair and threw canned food at it until it left. Decades later at her funeral, the pastor says.."And I understand there was an incident with a bear" at which time our whole family starts chuckling.

I had this condition during my teens that if I hit my elbow or knee just right, I'd pass out. Well one day I finish taking a written exam in driver's ed and, after turning it in, returned to my desk, banged my knee, sat down and passed out. I woke up lying on the floor with the teacher standing over me... his hands over my ears saying "Can you hear me? Are you OK? Can you hear me?" I said "Not with your hands over my ears." And he laughed. I was sent to the nurses office where the Vice Principal gave me a big hug. But I did get to go home early.

A teacher did this to my brother once, the cut on his forehead required stitches, she was relieved of her teaching position. This was over 30 years ago, but it wasn't the first time she had deliberately injured a child, it was just the last straw for the school and the school board.

A former (retired, not dead) colleague of mine would snack on peanut butter & crackers in his office, daily. After licking the plastic butter knife, he often said to me, "Mike, you know that I wash this knife once a month, whether it needs it or not..." He taught economics for business and was a tax accountant on the side. He is probably wealthier than he appears. -Dr. M, former professor of economic history & ethnic studies

My 9th grade health teacher was also the football coach and a corpsman in the Naval Reserves. When we began the section on STDs he brought in Naval training films of gonorrhea, syphilis and etc. for us to watch in class. Needless to say, we all probably practiced the safest sex known to humankind after seeing those films!

Many younger people dont realise that a yardstick was exactly that - a 3ft long ruler.

We stood at the door and tossed the books over the threshold. This kept going until the list of test rules was some 25 items and we couldn't think of another way to get around them. Also, when it came to the chapter on Vietnam he told us that he had been a tunnel rat during that war and we should close our books because he would tell us how it really went....

In the seventh grade, my history teacher showed us a video about students doing nuclear bomb drills in WWII and made us practice. He brought in an old camera with a flash and would randomly flash it during the rest of the semester and we had to scramble under our desks into the fetal position. Still my favorite teacher to this day.
