One of my history teachers told us a story about her family tree.
One of her relatives was a serial killer

The strangest thing a teacher ever told you about themselves

I'm pretty sure birth control has to be taken daily once you're on it so it would be conspicuous to have to open that locket, and those come in dedicated pill cases, which are easily concealed in a handbag pocket. I like to think that it was a picture of her girlfriend. If this was made into a movie it would blow The Notebook out of the water! Because...girls kissing.Zack Alklazaris said:
Well, it's not the strangest thing but probably the most awesome one a teacher has ever told me. I was talking with my Ottoman History prof a few weeks a go in his office, going over some stuff for my essay thesis. Then we eventually got on to different tangentially related topics, mostly having to do with Turkey. Then I mentioned that me and a few other classmates had little to no trouble on a map section from his mid-term, and I explained that it was because all of us play games like Europa Universalis and other Paradox Games a lot. I didn't outright say the name at first, but he eventually asked me what it was called. Upon hearing the name, and several other Pdox names that were dropped (all except Crusader Kings), he said that he used to play all those games himself. Then it all hit me. My prof absolutely loves to use maps for his lectures. He liked and used to play Paradox Games. Moral of the story is, my Ottoman prof is awesome because he's as big a geek as half his class.
I just had the weird image of someone trying to scratch an itch on their back and their friend just starts gnawing where they're itching. With added "Nomnomnomnomnom" sound effect. That person would be my friend for life!Binnsyboy said:Of course. The mark of a good friend is that they'll help scratch your persistent itches using their teeth!Jazoni89 said:
OT: All my teachers were relatively sane. Apparently though, I was told that there was a male gym teacher who shared with his male students that he made his class run and stretch so much because he enjoyed watching his female students. They were in 9th grade, ew. He was fired before I got there, thank goodness.
Kind of missing the point here, but you got flavoured ones!?sky14kemea said:
What fancy-ass school did you go to?
OT: A few of my friends had a conversation with a teacher about how he used to get stoned all the time.
So that made studying interesting.
French teacher in year 7 told us a funny story once.
She wanted to pop into a shop to get something real quick, but the only place she could find to park was on a double yellow line. Fair enough, she thinks - I'll only be a minute. So she parks there, only for a parking official to walk up to her car and try to deny her access.
Deciding she didn't want to find somewhere else to park, she did the only thing she could think of at the time - she started babbling in the most fluent French she could manage. The parking official, being a friggin' parking official, takes the "explain things slower and louder in English" approach several consecutive times over, getting progressively more annoyed at the woman's apparent lack of understanding.
Finally he gave in and said something along the lines of "Alright then, you dumb frenchie, you win!"
She smiled, said "Merci, monsieur!" and popped out to get the stuff before quickly popping back in and getting the hell out of dodge.
I like to think he only realised what must have happened several hours later, brooding in front of a TV.

A supply teacher once told the class this story about how his friend's wife is rather stupid. One day she called him while he was at work saying she needed help with a puzzle. He came home from work early to help her. He then told her nobody in the world could solve that puzzle. He then said "Alright darling, now help me but the corn flakes back into the box.
Then my Sex Ed teacher told us this story about how he went to paris and saw a 6 year old french boy singing a song about having sex.
And my maths teacher told my class that nothing he has ever taught in GCSE maths has ever been of any use in life, he then proceeded to tell us that he only went into teaching because he made a bet with someone he would find a job where he would use what he learnt in GCSE maths.

Really? I think I need some new friends.... >Binnsyboy said:Of course. The mark of a good friend is that they'll help scratch your persistent itches using their teeth!Jazoni89 said:
I had a US history teacher in HS who strongly implied he did cocaine. He openly admitted using marijuana and was an overall cool dude in a band and could play a mean bass (he would play for us sometimes). He always called beer "Kool-aid" or something to try and protect our innocence or some shit and one day he said him and his buddy scored some "coca-cola" as well. US public schools ladies and gents
One of my English teachers/wrestling coaches back in high school told us about the fact that he got out of the Army Rangers like a week before some big conflict (panama I think). Almost everyone in his squad ended up dead or pretty badly wounded.
He also got hit by a train, and live to tell about it with only a shattered pelvis to show for it.
His name was Tom Sawyer.

My high school science teacher drove his parents' hybrid to school once. Why? To show us the engine.
This was when hybrids were first getting big.

One of my Teachers went into a very detailed retelling about how she was raped in University. Like, it wasn't just "Oh yeah I got raped in Uni be careful" She went like two weeks before it happened, and was very graphic about the description of how it happened. I just sat there and was like "wtf?" I don't even have a reaction face to show how mind fucked I was. Like what the hell are you telling me for? I'm 15. I just sat there are looked at her for like 5 minutes in silence. She wasn't even phased or anything either. She just told her story and went back to eating lunch.
One day in my communications class, the professor answered a student's question with something along the lines of "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." then she said, "Like in high school when I was walking across the town bridge and decided that I was going to cross it and live, or throw myself off it."
I was kinda freaked by that.
Towards the end of the semester she told the class (again, completely out of the blue) that she had been raped at a party in high school and it made her suicidal for a while.

Nothing as strange as what you guys are saying, but I had a professor recently whom I asked if she had any children. She responded with a huge grin and said, "No kids, just kitties!" That's when I noticed her blouse was covered in pictures of kittens. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable around this woman.
Math teacher .
he had an accident with some hot coffee and had a testicle removed due to the injury.

Probably to make it extra awkward, although strangely they got an outside specialist to teach the boys sex ed class. Why they didn't do this for the girls I can't quite fathom.sky14kemea said:
