Anyone here ever had a teacher comments on the notes they read aloud in class?

If I ever go into teaching... I will be universally known for it. No better punishment than public humiliation.

"Let me think about it....NO." ~ Math Teacher's Response to practically any question/request concerning grades.

"Whereas we would consider exiles from our community as 'misunderstood' and express sympathy for them, the Puritan response to Anne Hutchinson's muder was 'COOL!' ~ History Teacher

"So, you see...in certain times of the year you'll have very, very happy squirrels running around. And monkeys attempting to climb trees and missing the branches" ~ Science Teacher's attempted answer to a question involving fermented fruit.

There's some more I'm forgetting at the moment...

EDIT: Spelling

Well, this is from my teacher, and i was only in the fifth grade. We had "family life", which is sex. ed.

well, people were allowed to write down questions anonymously, and somebody put "does it hurt?"

Well, she proceeded to tell us how good it felt, and she got very personal about how it felt.

It probably isnt too much to you guys, be we were in the fifth grade, and it was very awkward.

In my senior high school physics class, there was a girl who would constantly complain about the room's cold temperature.
"I'm cold."
"Well then move! Even amoebas move when they're cold! 'Look! It's cold! I'm going to move now!'"

ROFL @ Durandal.

Now that's a great line.

Calculus Prof.:

(In the middle of a proof during lecture)

"Now, we all remember there is a formula for this particular sum, but who remembers it?"

No response

"Well then, if we were Greek, we would go to the Oracle at Delphi and ask, "Oh Oracle, what is the formula, and she would answer "Well, dumbasses, look in the book on page 40.""
