Not really many weird teachers.

The usual stuff with headmasters picking up rubbish in school grounds and walking up to people to ask them how they were when they were in the middle of chatting with friends... awkward.

I think all the schools I went to had minimum sanity standards or something for staff.

A couple of good teachers... Year 9 history. First lesson introduces subject with the quote: "History is bunk(crap)"- Henry Ford and at the same time "Those who do not know their past are destined to repeat it"- Who knows. And he gave examples of each too. I was impressed.

One Year 10 philosophy (yeah) teacher... all but me and some other kid were in the subject purely to avoid doing work. About ten times he stormed out and threatened to quit during a lesson. Everytime he returned with an hour or so to a chaotic classroom. Poor guy.

Japanese teachers over the years... almost always spent the lessons telling us stories of their travels, interesting facts, how to pass a driving test etc. seems none of them particularily enjoyed actually going through work, and were not too fussed about being suddenly distracted by a question asked just for this reason.

English teacher... some kind of raffle to give attention to slavery. I won. My prize was to do with him what i wanted for 1 hour ( within obvious limits). While the recommendation was some kind of study help, I got him to throw a single waterbomb at another teacher. he missed. i didn't care that much anyway, but a full on collision would have been sweet.

that's about it.

i think.

sorry about rant and such.
