How did you goof around in school/ with teachers?

Post Reply New Topic

Someone asked in another thread if one misses school. I mentioned how one thing I missed was goofing around. Like we had this one teacher, I would go to jail in todays times, but she was our spanish teacher, and when you live in Miami, where practically all the kids were cuban-american, it was an easy class, no effort needed, and we have a fruit, "fruta bomba", literally fruit bomb. Someone left a gift, must have been Christmas time, and she'd give you extra points for mangos, avacados, stuff like that. Anyways this bag is on her desk and she asks what it is, and I just blurted out "una bomba", a bomb, and when she asked QUE (WHAT) I corrected myself, fruta bomba. This was late 70's, we just had the Cold War, nothing like today, so it was really harmless. Had another teacher, again spanish, this is high school so were a bit advanced in our technique, we were merciless with this guy. Everyone would stare out the window at basically nothing and it would drive him nuts. Or we'd fill the trashcan with water and stuff paper on top so he'd smash it down with his foot. Just to cheese him off we'd read aloud in really bad, broken, thick accents in spanish, even though we were all fluent in it. It was an all male high school, so we'd get away with alot. Ordered strippers to class, start "fake fights" to grab the master test answers while his attention was diverted. We had this other teacher who loved to talk about "the 60's" and his time at Yale and Woodstock and the protests and we'd just start asking BS questions so he would just talk and not stick to the lesson plans. Or the teachers that were into sports, on Monday morning we'd steer into sportstalk and before he realized it time was up. On the days we had a video to watch we'd switch it to a porn tape, and before the holidays we'd get the teacher to let us watch a movie. Man those were fun days.

I once had a Chemistry teacher who liked to demonstrate how things burn and how things catch on fire alot. Some days, we would blow methane bubbles and try to make the biggest fire rings we can. We even had a contest over it too.


I also had a teacher who was ADD, and we would take advantage of her short attention span from time to time. She was nice though and she played around with us very often, and sometimes we could BS our way to get her to put off deadlines.

That's incredibly impressive. I've never done anything so advanced as ordering strippers or switching tapes to porno....

However, we had one TA for organic chem lab who was generally disliked. During one lab where we had to sit around for a couple of hours waiting for a chemical reaction to take place she offered to let us watch Lord of the Rings on DVD on her laptop. Having just seen the South Park episode where the Lord of the Rings DVD was switched with "Backdoor Sluts 9"... well, you get the idea. But that was not particularly original - that was just something we ripped off from South Park.

someone once in my 9th grade history class hung the phone up upside down (cord up) and then when the phone rang next he answered it that way then relized, hey the cord dont belong on top.

i also had a algebra teacher who would teach standing in doorway,
lol

another good one was my friend jeron m, he had one of them small talking dictionaries and teacher ahd said to say 3 words(she was being sooooo slow on times about mcbeth) and he got annoyed and typed the 3 words in then pressed pronounce, teacher gave him the haha ah creative look and said ok jeron, your own voice

that was still funny though, i never had a liking for her anyway,
(she later either got fired or quit)

oh yeah, superglue the teachers edition shut, cant forget that one..

lolol also get them thinking and teach them as well,

in a way its easier for them to do their jobs, and in another, it just makes teaching look like childs play standing in front of class reading from the book.

i actually did have a teacher in 8th grade who did just that, read the teachers edition of math aloud, she has caught herself a few times reading the answers

I used to test every new substitute and visitor that came into my class.
