DrowNz:
teachers jokes wont hold with students, they are just not 'cool' enough (teachers.)
Only laugh you will get out of them is out of pity for trying so hard followed by a loss of respect, that is if there was any to begin with.

pepsi:
^ so true.. I cringe whenever teachers makes a joke.

Ninox:
one of my teachers uses jokes as a 'weapon' to get people to be quiet.
for example, it's a maths class and the teacher's about to move onto some more theory. There's a kid talking. the teacher'd say something like "[Name], makin' friends over there are ya?"
this evokes the natural peer response of laughter AT the one who was talking, making him shut up in embarrassment. i've only seen this work with guys though. but if it works... :P

brendan:
oooh that's a good technique.

Do kids in your class ever respond? In my school they did. result = teacher makes no jokes no more.
