Re: Favorite Teacher Quotes
 

I had this substitute in 10th grade named Mr. Montaigne. It was a computer class. A few of us in a row would open up this website that will speak a word that you type. Each of us took one word and we had it say funny things. Then he would get up and look around trying to figure out who was saying all that. Then he would just get fed up with it and yell in an old grumpy voice "Sit down and shut up! It sounds like a BAR in here." Sometimes he would say football stadium instead of bar. The funniest thing is when he would get up and yell this when no one was even talking and everyone was in there seats.

And then this one time he was taking roll and walking in front of each student as he called his name. He got to me and was a little confused by the seating chart. So he said "who are you?" Before I could ays my time, this class clown behind me says "He's bobby." Of course that is not my name. The sub took it that Bobby was my name so he was looking on the roll sheet for it and of course did not find it. He turned back to me and said "tell me your real name!" I told him my name and he did not believe me. He kept yellign at me to tell him my real name and I was, but he did not realize it. He finally kicked me out of class for not giving my real name, when I actually was.

In 5th grade I had this teacher Mr. Goodman. He would say something that got the whole class laughing at least once every day. One of his phrases I remember was "Speak up. I'm deaf in this ear and I can't hear in this one."

In 11th grade I had a teacher Mr. Good. When he passed out tests and quizzes he would say "Face Doooooooooowwwwwwnn!" (with a strong southern like voice Then he would say "Ready, set, stop. I DIDN'T SAY GO! Go. You should be DONE by now." He was really funny too.

i would have to say my most memorable quotes come from my 10th grade pre-calc teacher, mr. Zielke. This man was the king of puns and rhymes. I can't really post any because it would just make no sense out of context.

here are some good quotes though:

And most everyone in our AP Physics class had him at some point, so whenever he drops by (because he only teacher 2 periods and his office is right next to our classroom) he starts throwing out puns and everyone cracks up which is normally followed by this from our Physics teacher:
I always laugh when i think of that one.

My best one comes from a COLLEGE english prof. She said (after being asked if we could leave early) "No, you have to wait until the bell rings."

Oh wow. This one reminds me of my 7th grade math teacher. I don't remember the specifics of what he said, but every Friday before our weekly quiz/test he would have some long drawn-out speech similar to something that Mr. Rogers would say. "On this wonderful day, in this fabulous classroom, I hope that each and every one of you gets an A and that ___________ (randomly picks someone) gets an A+" .. or something like that. Its been too long (10 years!? :ahh: ) to remember it exactly.

And what's funny, my friends little sister has the teacher this year, and she says that he says the same exact stuff.

There was a sub at my middle school (they had a pool at the school and they filled in whereever) who had an african name that he decided that we couldn't pronounce, so we were to call him Mr. O. Every class he introduced himself "Hr, I am Mista O. ABCDO, Mr O" We ended up writing a song about it.

One of my teachers last semster, a former 22 year marine and volunteer firefighter for nearly as long, had some of the best sayings, but I will refrain from sharing them here. :yikes:

My favorite quote is from a music teacher at my school. He isn't very good at playing the Piano... so whenever he plays the wrong melody he yells; "Dandce fingers! Dance!" It makes my day. I use it a lot on IMs

Another quote from my math teacher, when asked about an upcoming test:

"The test is going to be all multiple choice. It's easier for my wife to correct."

my bio teacher the other day said "in science always keep an open mind .. but not so open that your brains fall out"

Re: Favorite Teacher Quotes
 

In my junior year I took AP bio and the real teacher had cancer and eventually passed on so we got a sub, and every day she would say, " I haven't taken biology in over thirty years!"

My Government teacher, Mr. Rohde, is retiring at the end of the semester. He's been teaching at the school for over 30 years now, and he's become semi-famous in the area. He's a great teacher...he just mocks his students more often than he should. :D Come to think of it, he seems to enjoy annoying people. When the phone rings, he'll pick it up, continue lecturing the class for another thirty seconds or so, then shout "211!" (his room number) into the phone.

Guess I need a quote to keep this on topic, so...
"How can you miss that? This material is spoon-fed!"
-Mr. Rohde

During one of the classes we weren't paying attention and the teacher wasn't sure we had heard what she said and she said "Are you picking up what I'm throwing down?" It definitly made us stop and think for a moment.

One of my favorites is from my Astronomy teacher this year on the first day of school:

"I'll bet you're all wondering if there's a reason that all 4 Teletubbies are hanging from my ceiling on a string. Well ladies and gentlemen, there is."

And BTW, just in case anyone is curious, he uses them to wipe the chalkboard.

I really liked it when my calculus teacher started repeatedly yelling out loud:
"I'm stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."
That is when he was figuring out how to do a calculus problem and realized how simple it was.
My social studies teacher said this about my physics teacher:
"He scared the audience when he walked out with a dead cat"
My former advisor thought you could make a dance out of any common motion like pulling a lawnmower.

One of the people who is tech certified and can monitor us for the bulid season is Mr. Haines. He's old (70s?) and was a nuclear sub engineer in WWII. It's always funny to listen to him lecture you about how many degrees he has (we lost count... or didn't pay enough attention).

When we need to get something done quickly during robotics, he yells German phrases: "SCHNELL! SCHNELL!"
