Who was your craziest / most interesting teacher(both)

Mine was my Year 10 Science Teacher Mr Mcgee, He was always encouraging us to think about every aspect of the world around us. To question everything.
He was always coming out with Phrases such as, ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?
And he often quoted Professor Julius Sumner Miller, "Why is it so?"

Had three. First was the my first science teacher in high school and he also taught me in years nine and ten. Like yours, he was big into questioning everything.

Second was one of my year ten maths teachers (we were lucky that year, only had three, year before we had about six and I think only one of them was qualified to teach maths). But this guy was really laid back but actually taught us some real maths. Plus he was always good to bludge a ciggie off lol.

Last was my Abnormal Psych lecturer. He'd previously completed a two year sabbatical in a Thai Buddhist Temple. He was the coolest and most laid back dude I have ever met, as well as being a first class lecturer.

Sorry, but had to include all of them.

@Bushranger That's great. I think asking questions like these can bring back almost forgotten memories. Good memories.
My worse teacher was my Year 9 English Teacher. Every Monday morning, after the first month of school, he would give me 6 cuts on each hand for not doing my homework over the week end. 6 on each hand!
I call him the worse but in fact I was my own worse enemy for not doing my homework
