We've all experienced it: those times when the teacher says something completely stupid and you either get mad and want to freak out at them or practically die trying not to laugh at what they said. What's your most memorable instance of this happening? Mine is the time back in 8th grade when we (the girls) asked the teacher why the boys got locks on their bathroom doors, but we didn't. Her response? "You'll lock yourself in the stall and not know how to get out." This was in 8th grade, folks! Has anyone else ever had a time like this where a teacher said something extremely funny/anger-inducing to them? (If you're a teacher, I'd love to hear about times where you said something and then looked back and thought "What was I thinking?")

Well, it may not be stupid, but it was mean. I was in 2nd grade at the time, and we were given assignments to read these tiny little booklets. We were given a chart and had to have a parent signature saying we did. When we got the whole paper filled out, we had to pass it in. Well, don't et me wrong, I did read the booklet, it's just that I never got it signed and never passed it in. A month went by, and I along with a few students didn't pass ours in. My teacher was, Mrs. Kelleher, was reviewing who passed at least one list in. Well, I wasn't on it, and Mrs. Kelleher got really mad. In front of the whole class, we were yelled at induvisually. When she came to me, Mrs. Kelleher said "Your sister did the same thing, it must be a crap at your house" Oh, I almost cried, but eld back the tears. The reason why my sister was mentioned is because my sister had Mrs. Kelleher for 2nd grade too. And apparently she hadn't passed her sheet in either. It later turned out she was diagnosed with dyslexia and some other rare eye problem. I wish now that I could go back and express my anger towards Mrs. Kelleher. But, you must move on. Oh well.

Ok I was in 6th grade and we were having a minor sex ed course (basically talked about puberty). It was an all boys class (the girls had a different class) so we all walked in an sat down. The gym teacher says, "Today we are going to talk about puberty. Puberty is when a man becomes a women". Apparently he meant to say a boy becomes a man, but it didnt matter cause we laughed for about 30 minutes straight.

I had a teacher (and guidance counselor) tell me that I shouldn't go on to college, because a woman doesn't need a four year degree to stay home and have children. Not kidding. I went on and got a four year degree and then some. Im pretty sure I make way more than that as-hole does now. I wonder how many other girls he said that to- and how many actually took his advice! jerk.

I had a "professor" at Albany State University in SW Georgia who went on and on about how her daughter started "the first hip-hop station in the whole COUNTRY of Ontario" MORON! I hated that lady. It was torture having to listen her for a whole semester. We can thank NOVA University for giving her a doctoral degree...

My favorite was in the second year of college. The art instructor told me to stop drawing dragons,fairies, elves and warriors because "fantasy never sells". Must have been a real shock to Boris Vallejo and Rowena, huh?

I had a History teacher who would always say to someone who didn't turn in homework, was late, causing trouble -
"you don't want me raining on your parade".
By the end of school I was so sick of the phrase!

Ok, well I'm either too dumb to notice the stupid things or never get them or never remember them I guess. But how's this for pathetic? In eighth grade, we had this creepy math teacher who was over 60, lived with his insane mother, and wore the same hot pink suit to all of our dances. Keep in mind this isn't the eighties, it's 2003. We flew kites on fridays instead of doing math. He gave us trial mix with maggots in it.
Things he said:
My friend was joking when she said aloud, hey so it says in our school maual that we have to wear underwear! Whose going to check?! The math teacher looked over and said with a smile that he would. (Generous? Try perverted.)
I forgot to write down the math hw, and asked him to reopen the classroom because it was on the board. (The classroom didn't have any windows; it used to be the old girl's locker room.) So he did, but first remarked, "Hey, you know I'm doing favors for you, what kind of favors are you going to do for me?" while looking at my chest. Yum.
