Favourite Quotes From Teachers?

Now that school is over, I guess it would be wise to think about your favourite teacher quotes over the past years...

I guess some of mine are:

Coordinator: 'Alana, I'm sick and tired of writing your name out!' (When I received like, 20 awards at assemblies in a row; we have one each term.)

And

Teacher: 'My hair is going grey...'
Me: 'Well then maybe you should just die...'
Another Student: 'Your hair! Not literally die!'

This should be a fun thread. :P

my teacher:

"i must admit, some of the teachers here are really cheap. Apparently there's toilet paper being stolen from the staff room every week and i think it's the office ladies."

from 2 of my favourite teachers so far ...

my VCE English teacher:
"Love doesn't last forever you know, not like herpes does"

my contract law lecturer (who's from some African country):
"Tell me, is it not ironic... 200 years ago you could have owned me, and now I am marking your exams"

"Even stupid people have rights!"

"Your attention spans are smaller than that of an ant! I can see it- your antennas are saying [raises both forefingers above head] 'Lets go home, lets go home!"

45 mins into a 3 hour lecture ... "are you bored? I'm bored. OK 30 more mins and we'll go home"

We were doing motion under constant acceleration in specialist, and my teacher said something like: when the object reaches its maximum height, gravity changes from negative to positive. Yeah, we all pretty much failed that.

I think it was my first maths class in high school and the teacher said: Now I know you're all probably busy playing with your playboys, but in high school, your studies are important too.

Not so much a favourite (more of a pet peeve) that I remember from Year 12 English: My teacher spelling out the most simple words. 'Alright, the text we're studying is a memoir. M-E-M-O-I-R.' We wasted a lot of time on her wondering about the pronunciation of VCAA, and her laughing at things that we wouldn't be able to get because it was 'too complicated'. She basically treated us like retards, though I guess in her defence, most of us were.

English teacher: What is another theme in this book?
Me: Intricacy!
Everyone else: What does that mean?
Me: It means complex
Teacher: So in other words, Alana is intricate because she says complex words...

(Nobody understands anything remotely intelligent that I say. :()

During our Lit sacs, our teacher would always get bored and start writing little monologues on the whiteboard about his boredom and what he thought of us (sentiments that were vaguely insulting, but funny).

He's a junior school co-ordinator, so he'd tell us tales of the ferals he had to deal with:
"Yesterday, some scraggy little girl told me to go and do things that are anatomically impossible."

He also likes to threaten the lives of his students:
*Girl groans as he starts telling a story*
Teacher: "Maddie, you'll groan when I come over and punch you in the mouth in a minute."

There are plenty more, but taken out of context and without an understanding of the teacher, they wouldn't be very funny.
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett.

I (L) probability.
