Teachers Be Crazy
Scarychips:
My Secondary 2 (Grade 2 of High School) science teacher was a chain smoker. He decided to stop smoking the year I had him as a teacher. He kept a stack of dictionaries next to his desk. Let's just say that when he was angry and/or was in need of a nicotine hit, ducking was required.

My 11th grade English teacher would tip talkative students out of their desks, toss their papers on the ground, and throw things out the window (we were on the second floor). He was a pretty good teacher though!
SirJuggles:
There seems to be a pretty good pattern of teachers who are tenured/about to retire? I know there's a lot of worry over whether tenured teachers will just slack off, but in my experience those are the ones who are really into their subject, so they just use it to teach in more innovative ways.

yeah right because I can remember anything from back then
Does middle school count? Because I vaguely recall a few teachers doing awesome fucked up things like occasionally stepping outside to roar in anger, and the teacher who sat on the table in the front while wearing a skirt.*
Once I got to highschool any eccentricities my teachers had paled in comparison to my eccentricities. Man my highschool teachers were awesome. The Spanish teacher who made up a word that means "pissed," the physics teacher who had us sling water balloons at him... well there was the English teacher who was a little too into telling us about sexual imagery in various stories, but even that was more hilarious than concerning.
*She was the health teacher, so perhaps that was related.
Jimmy the Squid:
Wait I thought of something.
When I was in primary/elementary/grade/whatever school the Assistant Principal would take classes when there were no casual teachers to fill in. I don't know if he actually knew anything about teaching because whenever he filled in he would just bring in an acoustic guitar and make us sing Paint It Black over and over again.
I hate that song now.
