Have you ever had any ridiculously stupid teachers? I sure have. There's one teacher in particular I have right now who I can't stand at all. She gives us really ridiculous assignments to do for group projects. We have to do a case study presentation by taking a 12 page document that's already filled out and put it into a written report for her along with a powerpoint to show the class. The only new information we have to put in is some treatment goals for the therapy sessions. It really is a pointless project.
What are your teachers like?

She's the spirit of your sorrow and the reason for your tears... |~^.[ I've had some real shockers in my time, like my Year 11 Chem teacher, for example - he didn't know the subject, answered all of my questions with, "...and why don't you look that up in your text after class?" and thought that 'learning' consisted of 'copying down a summarised version of Chapter X and then adding our own summary for no reason at all'. Grrr.
Currently, most of my lecturers are alright, but there's this one woman who is really off with the fairies; she always looks so frazzled and not with it that it's kind of funny. She's a paleoanthropologist and she had us for Human Biology at the start of term when we were looking at bones and such, which was fine, but then we also had her for a week of Reproductive Anatomy (still part of the HB subject, but a different learning area), and she didn't know anything at all. She actually told us that if we'd read the relevant text chapters, we probably knew more than her. What. The. Hell?
There's another one who is just really not nice and talks down to us all the time (and bear in mind here that nobody but my father has had the audacity to talk down to me since I was about seven without getting a snarky, sarcastic earful in return). I think he thinks he's great, but really...? No.
Oh, and there's one who's a really nice guy to talk to after classes and tries to make his lectures interesting, but his voice is just so monotonous that most of us fall asleep or end up drawing all over our notes. The sad thing is that he teaches a good subject - health sociology - and is a genuinely nice and interesting person most of the time. It's just the lectures that are boring as hell (and his tutorials are always kind of pointless, too).
Otherwise, our lecturers are pretty awesome. ].^~| ...She's your fury and your glory and your deepest, darkest fears.

Sounds like you've had some real winners there, Shadow. xD
I just remembered too, that I had a professor for Sociology who sounded like Elmer Fudd, the old cartoon hunter of Bugs Bunny, when he talked.

She's the spirit of your sorrow and the reason for your tears... |~^.[ I just had an image of my lecturers going, "It's wabbit season!"
"Duck season!"
"Wabbit season!"
"Duck season!"
^.^ And yes, I've had a few gems in my time as a high school (and now, uni) student. Just imagine - I've got six years to go before I get that degree... ].^~| ...She's your fury and your glory and your deepest, darkest fears.

I'm doing an aviation course at college at the moment. Each lecturer has their own peculiarities.
There's one called Bill. He's about 80. His quirks are to hop, then jog around the class while handing out sheets, finishes every point with "are you happy with that" (said really really fast) and he always laughs no matter what. Example : "Then you crash and die, you happy with that? Hahahahahahaha!"
Another is Frank, he's Pakistani or something like that. He has a really heavy accent and keeps getting things mixed up. He also dribbles a lot of bullshit.
Then there is Don, the most boring of them all. He will sit there and give you all these doom and gloom stories in this boring monotonous voice which never ends. He's always giving us advice like "never eat seafood, you'll get food poisoning!" "Don't eat chocolate, it gives you migraines!" etc. etc.
Also there is Peter. He isn't too bad, but is always cracking stupid jokes. Think of the worst, most pointless joke you've ever heard, times that by 10 now imagine jokes like that coming out every 10 minutes.
Lastly there's Barry, who is quite a decent teacher, except he always says "you happy with that?" and seems to be very anti-american. (he hates american spelling and sayings, and especially hates coke smile

My lifeguarding teacher, can't swim a 500 and made us all swim one in under 9:00 (minuites, not hours). He also managed to end up in the pool, in his only clothes during michigan winter with a startling frequency.

I had a teacher back in high school who was super nice, but a bit ditzy. Her hearing was going too, which made for some good humor. For instance, she'd ask a question, someone would ask, "Can I go to the bathroom," and she'd reply, "Yes, that's right, Julius Caesar. Wait, is that what you said?"
She also tried to rewind a tape on Egypt to show us one time, but accidentally fast forwarded it instead (she noticed when the end credits came up.) She never noticed when people shot spitballs or paper wasps around the room.
Also, one time she electrocuted herself while trying to plug in the overhead.
That was her last year teaching. They ended up making her the activities director.
Good times.

I had a teacher in high school who almost set his hand on fire with a bunsen burner 5 times before realizing it was the burner and not the hose that was broken. This is the same guy that would get mad at the other students when they tried to wake me up in class.
