Hey Pandas, Who Was Your Weirdest Teacher And What Made Them So Weird? (Closed)

In college, I once had a sociology/psychology professor who was demonstrating how tone affected the sincerity of stating things. He went to one student and very calmly told her "I hate you." He then went straight to my desk and shouted "I F*****G LOVE YOU, B****!" It was hilarious. He was a really good professor.

I had a history teacher back in fifth grade. One time, she farted and she blamed it on a rock. It was funny but weird at the same time.

I had two German teachers in my school and they were both super weird. They dressed the same, had the same haircut, and were very similar in character: mean, strict, and illogical. Note: they were not related, nor were they from Germany.
Well, they both taught me at some point in time. They were obsessed with Germany and everything about it. If you said something critical about the country they would get so mad. One of them even said: "I don't think Hitler was THAT bad." And then proceeded to say why. I honestly blacked out from shock and couldn't even remember what she said. The ignorance of them both was astounding. I stopped taking German quickly after that, which is sad because I really do like the language and the country.

I had a teacher in home economics who used to wash her feet in the sink, in the class, during the class, in front of the students. I guess I will never find out why but will bear this in my memory.

My 6th grade Sccience Teacher said she was turned on by cells

Well I've had a few weird teachers, first one was a 4th grade teacher (I'm in 6th) she was a sub and she would scream at everyone for no reason like once she asked us to get out a pencil. Well I did and she screamed at me for having a pencil. Second, this is a lunch lady who threatened kids. Like threatened to duct tape their mouths shut and lock them outside in 9 degree weather. Third, my music teacher right now told my entire class bout one of her teachers who was disgusting and was always drunk at work. We asked what happened to him and she said that he got arrested for running around naked... idk why she told us that.

One time I had a substitute teacher and when I got in trouble with her we would solve the problem (like anyone else would) and when the problem was resolved she looked at me like I was her best friend or something it made me creeped out and uncomfortable for the rest of class.

In high school, I had a sociology teacher and she was great. I learned a lot from her. Anyway, she had this plant at her window she said was her mom and she told us not to worry because of ever there was a school shooter situation or something like that, Mom would rise up and protect us and take them out. This was in the early 2000s so we had active shooter drills but it wasn’t quite as prevalent as it is today. Anyway, she talked about Mom so much, I half believed her!

Not sure if weird is the word... I had an over-religious teacher in high school. She used to chase pupils out of her classroom who weren’t Christian if they answered questions wrong. Heaven help you if you were LGBTQ. One of her daughters came out as gay at the end of school (twin girls, she taught them both). She disowned her daughter for being gay. Best part was it was an all girls school.

my 6th grade science teacher. on the first day of school, it was a rule that we have a clear or see thru bottle containing ONLY water. this one kid (i didn't have any other classes with him) had one of those green Gatorade bottles. and the teacher went around looking at peoples bottles. and she looked at his and said:

"whatcha got it there?"
"water"
"really? it might be beer, you got any beer in there?"
"....no"
"good next time make sure to get a CLEAR bottle."

but she was also super nice. she let us re-do ANY assignment for a 100% (ex: if you get a 33% in a test next week is the retest. next week comes and you get all the answers right, then it's now a 100%) in other classes the highest grade you can get in a retest is 85%. but anyways that was my weirdest teacher SO FAR.

I had a teacher who kept a noisemaker that went "moo" when you shook it. He had a slogan: "Shoot for the moo!" After pop quizzes, we'd line up and hand him our papers one by one. If you got 100, he'd shake the noisemaker.
We actually got really into it, and would congratulate each other on getting a moo.

Not mine, but my brother's. She would have a new weird fact every day that my brother would tell my family ever day after school.

I had a art teacher in college who I'm pretty sure was the zodiac killer. I cant point to anything specific but he was very strange, he was a college student at Berkeley in the late 60's early 70's and all over his classroom in the wierdest places are hand drawn circles with a cross through the center which look exactly like the the symbol the zodiac killer signed his letters with. He is the correct height the correct age. He is also the correct height and wears thick glasses. He is either the zodiac killer or he is obsessed with the murders.

It was our Russian teacher. She was very old. In fact, so old, that my classmate's mother was her student at one point and time. She always got angry if we mispronounced stuff, and repeated the word three times in an angry voice, starting with the wrong pronunciation. "Borsh? Borsh!? BORSCH, BORSCH! B-O-R-S-C-H!" She did that while gesticulating with her hands, pointing fingers, and with an eternal frown. Yeesh, it's not our first language, relax old lady.

My teacher from fourth grade. He's a good weird. he tell tall tales

My weirdest teacher was my 8th grade science teacher and what made him so weird was that one he ate weird things, for example, crickets. and he was a sort of conspiracy theorist and talk about the weirdest things.

I had a teacher who would tell me all the answers to homework, I mean it was pretty cool but I didn’t actually know anything so I’d fail my assignments n stuff. She was once cleaning the classroom and as I was sitting down in a chair she pulled it out from under me (I was like 9) and idk what she was thinking but she said “well you should’ve made sure no one was going to move your chair” and she would always yell at my dad if we couldn’t make it to a school thing. She was definitely different.

Ok this isn't as weird as some of the others but my 6th-grade Spanish teacher has a rubber chicken and he would squeeze it to annoy people whenever someone says "what"

My 6th grade science teacher. There were lots of ways I can't specifically remember that she was odd, but here are the ones I do remember. She said that when you drop something, there's a one-in-a-million chance gravity will fail. She informed us about Mike the Headless Chicken, a chicken who lost his head but lived for months because the essential part of his brain stem was still there. (This fact checks out...) She then proceeded to tell us that her family celebrated Mike the Headless Chicken Day every year with, like, full holiday importance, and also they would decapitate a chicken in a different way each time and then eat it. 🐔

This part is less *weird* and more *not ok*, but this is the same teacher who had a science question box that you could put a question into. Some jerk decided to test her claim that she would answer any of our questions by asking some VERY disturbing sexual things. She just ANSWERED them. (if anyone is curious how disturbing, I can let you know in the comments... like it was BAD)

Oh, also, this teacher was extremely atheist (ok, that's fine) and discussed it fairly often, to the point I would definitely call it "preachy." Due to this, sometimes students would ask her things about it, like, well what do you think of people who do believe in God? I'm probably paraphrasing but what I remember her saying was basically "Well, faith is nice and everything, but I like to believe in things that have been proven." in this very noticeably condescending tone. Being Christian, I was kinda offended, and I was offended on behalf of my classmates, too.

I put a question into the box. "Has science been able to definitively disprove the existence of God?" The time for answering the questions of the week came. She DIDN'T. ANSWER. IT. (I probably would have been fine with that if she hadn't PROMISED to answer ANYTHING and also proceeded to tell us completely inappropriate sexual science facts!) I then got brave enough to ask her about it and she said some baloney like "Well I mean I didn't want to answer that particular question because science doesn't really investigate into that kind of thing." Um, isn't that one of the big questions everyone wonders about and drives scientists crazy????? Welp hokay whatever Ms. Atheist, if you were going to respond with baloney, you could have at least made up a better answer than THAT like, IDK, maybe you didn't want to raise argument or controversy in class. I might have been 11 but I wasn't stupid... I knew she just didn't want to admit something that contradicted her beliefs. But spouting completely unnecessary sexual facts to 11 year olds is fine, apparently.

Anyway, I guess that whole thing could be considered "weird," because I have NEVER had another teacher who was so vocal about their beliefs (and so condescending of everyone else's!), Christian, atheist, or otherwise. I've had teachers who are open and will talk if expressly asked to, and THAT feels a lot more normal and cool. Wow, clearly I had some annoyance to get off my chest there. Righty then.

This chemistry teacher at our school washed his socks in schooland than hung it to dry in the lab.
Legends say he only had two pairs...
