Your Weirdest TeacherThe strangest teacher at my school used to practice his lessons at night. We'd watch through the classroom windows as he did his entire lesson, complete with questions to the class and telling off misbehaving students.
Were your teachers as strange? Of course they were...

Scary Scary ScaryDuring A Level Biology we were studying genetics. There is this thing called a 'test back cross' where you can plot the path of dominant genes through the parents and grandparents of the subject. We did this on rats in the lab and yes it worked.
I suggested that we ALL do this in class with our own families based on eye colour. I wasn't just being a kiss-arse, I actually thought this would be cool.
My teacher - we called her Mrs Crack based on the fact that you could read the change in her trouser pockets - promptly shot me down and changed the subject.
When I asked her about it afterwards (ok, maybe I was a bit of a nerdy keener), she told me the staggering statistic that 1 in 10 people do not have the parents they think they have. That would mean 2 very upset students in a class of 23.
1 in 10??????
Just to be sure, I did a test back cross on my own parents and grandparents and everything worked out. Phew. Bit nervy though. My mum was a bit of a party girl in the 70's.
