Here people will be able to learn the great secrets of the universe, as told by Yr12s and teachers, from the year 2001.
I'll only give them to you one at a time, so I don't strain your brains with the implications.

Specialist (that's advanced, not 'stupid') Mathematics Teacher: 2 + 1 = 2

This teacher mentioned previously is also the Physics teacher. And one days she came up with this piece of abstract unit use:

...a mass of one kilometre...

Here are two quotes, from one of my friends...

"I get it, but I don't"
"I haven't got any, I've only got two"

DT, is this some way of suggesting that you need a "DT's Daily funnies" section?

Nah... The teachers at his old school, (my school), are really wacky, and he likes showing that off. :roll:

No. No, it isn't. I don't have enough for that.

Here we have a different maths teacher, this time the 'normal' maths teacher.

'Just when you think it's easy, it is easy'

You should see some of the stuff my Chem teacher said...
But I'm going to do them last. There's around 6 quotes from him, though.

Here's a quote from a student:

"I couldn't work in fractions 'cause they were too wierd for me"

My old high school has it's share of wacky teachers. My physics teacher, Mrs. Valli, is the smallest teacher I've ever seen, and she treats all of her students like kindergardeners. She's extremely smart, and a great teacher, so don't assume I think ill of her. We used to get break time at the ends of classes, and we had designated Weather Monitors who would spend the whole class looking out the window. Besides all of that, we played with the standard physics toys, like slinkies, springs, pendulums, and a glider rack. We even had a Slinky Song to go with our unit on ocillations.

Let's just not get me, Moe, Chromus, beyonder, or any other poor soul on Mr. Wheatley! Whom was prestigiously granted the A-Team award by his AP C++ class.

Here's a good quote from before a test:

'Do we lose marks for wrong answers?'

I forgot to put one up the other day, so today you get two.

I'd just like to remind you that these are Year 12 students. Except for the teachers, that is.

Here's a student in the 'normal' maths class:
"I couldn't work in fractions 'cause they were too weird for me"

Again from a maths class:
Teacher: It will have two asymptotes. One is x equals zero. What is the other one?
Student: x equals negative zero?

Said by my Spanish IV techer last year (I hate her guts with a passion):

"They're talking about doing something in the water, and I don't think it's urinating."

Said by my math teacher:

"It's not called a depressed angle because it's going to commit suicide. ... I'm sorry, that was just plain bad."
