I'm going to be producing a limited-run webcomic regarding classroom issues for one of my classes. I know we've got various teachers and professors here (JackFost2012 and FortNinety come to mind) in addition to a deluge of high school and college students. As such, this provides a wide variety of experiences (and cultures) to draw upon.

What I'm looking for is a brief, brief description of an awkward situation, problem or issue you've faced in regards to a classroom. Humorous or not, it makes no difference. I'll be sure to contact you if more information is required and if I use it, you'll definitely be credited and compensated (in some manner) for your troubles.

We could see this hot teachers nipples, so my friend shouts out "I think you should turn down the AC, It looks like its getting cold in here.

And also, this loser in our school started singing brown eyed girl and started to do a humping motion whilst singing. I dont go to a mental institute btw.

Teacher: "What's your favorite music artist?" (this had been for an assignment)

Me: "Radiohead" (at that time in high school)

Teacher: "I wasn't asking what kind of device you listen to music on."

Me: "..."

My big band director has a really hot wife. I'm sure you can do something with a teacher with a hot wife. Or a hot teacher. I didn't learn anything in biology freshman year 'cause i was always stareing at my teacher's legs.

yep. this stuff happens all the time. Here's another one, it happened yesterday:

French teacher: Is there anything you would like to do in my lessons that might be more entertaining

Me: How about playing more games

teacher: I guess we can do that

Friend: How about watching a film, we have some really good ones in this school.

teacher: Really. If i can get hold of one of the TV's, I will do that. What film do you want

friend 2: yamakazie is good.

Teacher: ok then

me: Actually, Ive heard one night in paris is good

teacher: really, whats it aboute film,

me: umm..I think its a romance film

teacher: oh, that sounds good

The whole class was in tears. Id be worried if she brought a copy.

I've been doing my school psychology practicum as part of my graduate program this quarter, so I've spent a lot of time in the schools (elementary, junior and senior high school). For those who don't know what a school psychologist is, we're pretty much the gate keepers for special education. I'm the person who leads the evaluation of a child who has been referred for possible special education services. I give tests of intelligence, achievement, adaptive behaviors, social/emotional skills, etc. I also interview parents, children and teachers and do observations. I've also been trained in counseling, so I can act as a school counselor seeing how there are federal mandates requiring school psychologists, but not for school counselors. That was long winded, I apologize, but most people have no idea what I do.

Anywhoo, off the top of my head I can think of one story recently. I was doing an observation of this one child in their PE class. The class was playing a game, and for some reason the child was having a difficult time understanding the rules. So instead of asking the teacher for help, the child runs up to this girl in the class, takes both hands, places them on her chest and sends her flying across the floor to the other side of the gym where she hits the wall, and this is a big gym so it's pretty impressive. Before the girl hits the other wall, this kid has grabbed their backpack and has left the school and ran home (it's a small town).

Probably not what you're looking for, but it's the most interesting issue that's come up recently (aside from the same student sexually harassing others, and I'd rather not go into that).

hmm, let's see.

I almost got arrested for posing as a teacher and sending emails to two teachers in my building.

...

My physics teacher last year started talking about how one of the other science teachers had bought a copy of The Passion of the Christ from someone a few weeks after it was out in theaters, and how the quality on it was terrible. As soon as he said it, I responded, "She didn't buy her copy from me, that's for sure!". This caused a moment of silence before my teacher started laughing hysterically and said, "James, I didn't accuse you of selling it to her, but thanks for letting me know!"


...

During school, we weren't allowed to leave the building. One day last year my German class was having a pizza party because we were awesome, so my teacher sent me and a friend out to get some pizza from the nearby pizza place. We walked there, him smoking a cigarrette the whole time, and when we went in the pizza place our assistant principal and a science teacher were sitting at a booth. We had to walk right past them to get to the counter, and then had to ask for the pizza order for the Coughlin (my highschool) german class. Scary as hell, I tells ya.

...

This doesn't really have anything to do with teachers, but it's good nonetheless. For our senior class elections, candidates were allowed to put flyers up around the building. The girl running for vice-president was a popular girl, so she was putting flyers up all over the place with different celebrities saying things like, "I'm voting for Leah". I'm devious, so I decided I'd make a few of my own flyers for her. I found a good picture of Charles Manson, another of Hitler, and that picture of Hasslehoff and Gary Coleman in front of the knight rider. The Manson one said something to the effect of "Vote for Leah, or I'll have you killed", the Hitler one said "The choice is yours: Vote for Leah, or take a shower", and the Knight Rider one had Hasslehoff and Coleman both saying "I'd hit that!" and the headline was "Vote for Leah"

...

there was another one I meant to type up, but I forgot it somewhere i nthe midst of writing out this novel of my high school years.
