I went to a comprehensive school in the early 1980's....
....so where do you want to start with weird teachers??

1) Mr. Wetherburn, Geography. Was the spitting image of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, bloody identical. Well, apart from having one eye, the other having been removed by a stray snowball (mostly ice) which hit him, thrown by a pupil. Therefore he HATED all pupils, and thought they were all taking the piss. For example, any pupil rubbing their eye due to hay fever would be given a hiding into the middle of the next week!!

2) Mr. Donnelly, taught everything and anything from geography / history / PE. Grade A, King Loony, top-of-league nutter. Was missing 2 fingers on his right hand, and depending on the story he decided to tell, were lost a) In an industrial accident b) In the second World War or C) By a live microphone in the nightclub where he used to be compere. Threw me out of a history class once because he thought the skin around my eyebrows was too thin, therefore making me easy to cut by a boxers punch!!!

3) Miss Redican, Religious Ed., The stroppiest, evil, most cock-hating creature ever to walk this planet. This woman was 'on-the-blob' for my whole 5 years at Comp School. Well, that was until the end-of-term party in our final year, when we went for a secret drink with some smuggled booze into the gym, and found her being fingered 'knuckle deep' by our Environmental Studies teacher, himself who had only been re-instated at the start of the previous academic year after being sacked for being a piss-artist!

I'll leave it at that, but there are many, many more. The biggest miracle is how we actually got an education out of this lot!!
