Teacher Quote Thread

[beatroot]

I've had the same art teacher since Year 8 and still remember all of her iconic quotes after all these years.
- "Don't let the clay control you, you control the clay"
- "I was going to bring a box of tissues but you can mop your own tears up"
- "This ship is not going to sink. It’s going to blooming float and it’s going to fly"
- "Why did you use a ruler?’ ‘Because my mum told me to’ ‘Who’s marking your assessment task? Me or your mum?"

I also had two english teachers at once earlier this year (combined classes)
- "What's the name of that boy from Billy Elliot? ... Oh wait ... Did I seriously ask myself that question? That's the most stupid question I've ever said this term, I'm so embarrassed"
- "Billiot... No I didn't say Billiot. I said Billy Elliot ... [after a five minute discussion with the class] I can't believe I said Billiot"
- "The feedback from me is signed CM" "Wait, but my signature is CM too" "Since when do we have the same initials" (then they decided to laugh about this discovery for the rest of the lesson)
- "Don't refer to him as Douglas. He's not your mate!"

Omg I have so many but I barely remember them atm. these are a few

 - my sac teacher whenever she wanted to hear the gossip or talk about something completely irrelevant to the lesson:

*closes classroom door* "this isn't (miss *insert last name*) anymore.. it's Evita."

- my studies of religion teacher on a dodgy girl that went to the bathroom and stayed there half the lesson because she was allegedly having period issues w/o telling "you can't just stay in the bathroom the whole period!" *laughs when she realises the iconic pun she just made*

- "Don't be sorry just be better" - one of the english teachers that left

- our overly optimistic advanced english teacher "you can ALL get band 6s"
