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?"

Macca - Home room teacher between years 7 to 9.

Never sat at his desk always at the front of class.

If you gave him cause to yell at you. Not only would you go deaf but the entire school would know your in trouble.

If he got bored during a lesson he'd take us out to play kickball.

If you finished your work for the lesson you could play computer games.

He was the only teacher in school with written consent by the parents to hit their children if needed. He had a specially made reinforced bat for the occasion which we dubbed the beach bat. And if you were ever struck by the thing you got to graffiti your name on it.

A week into grade 7 Shane H got moved into Macca's class for being to unruly for Mrs Blackham. He tried to kick Macca in the face. Macca caught Shanes foot and lifted him up high one handed and plonked the boy head first into the sulu bin.

When Shane and 3 other boys were failing year 10 it was Macca who got them apprenticeships with local tradesman.
