Not terribly strange, here...
Let's see... Three of them really stand out in my memory.

Mr. Gidney. Eccentric as heck, taught with a passion (when he was allowed to -- it was far too easy to piss him off), lovely guy... well, having read Harry Potter, I can't help seeing him as a younger version of Dumbledore.

M. Medina. One of those "horrible India-rubber men", he was supposedly trained by the French Foreign Legion. Looked like he stepped out of a Charles Atlas ad -- broad shoulders, narrow waist, muscles on his muscles, but only about 5'6" tall. When he got angry, he would throw things. Chalk-board erasers, chalk, and apparently at least once a student's desk. He later romanced and married the math teacher from the girls' side of the school, and is still working there some twenty years on... and so is she.

The original math teacher, Mr. Bachmann. A true sadist, he would beat up on the kids for no reason while we were trying to work in his classroom. He weighed about 300 lbs, had a thick German accent and a little black moustache on his jowly face... looked a bit like Sgt. Schultz after a jolly-ectomy. He only seemed happy when one of his students was screaming in pain. We used to call him Backmann Turner Overweight... until he found out. I can't say who paid the price for that... I wasn't there. But I heard it.

Not as good as many on here... but they did make an impression on me. Even if there were no scars.
