Unfortunate teacher names you remember

[snailly]

Mr. Butkus, such a dick but I DO remember mitosis!

What about yours?

[Roon]

1. Mrs.Busick

but she was so big we used to call her Mrs.Buick...the car..

[opiate69]

2. Mrs. Grief.... elementary school English teacher...

I just remember her being very, very old and strict.. IIRC, she died of a heart attack at the airport in Ireland while on vacation.

[graywarrior]

3. Sister Justilla aka Justilla the Killa

[mainegreen]

4. Her initials were KGB.

She taught typing and was very strict. No sense of humor.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Mrs. Ball, who taught sex ed. n/t

[LibDemAlways]

29. I had Mr. Ball, but he taught math. Your post

reminded me of something completely off topic, though. I had friends who got married at the Ball Rd. Wedding Chapel.

[ZombieNixon]

6. Mr. Sweat.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), he taught math, not gym. :evilfrown:

[Scooter24]

7. Ms. Diane Chokesondick

:P

[racaulk]

12. I heard when she died, the autopsy found seamen in her stomach.

:evilgrin:

[Scooter24]

15. I know!

quite the scandal!

O8)

[SeattleGirl]

8. Mr. Guppy

Prof I had in college. He kind of looked like this, I kid you not:

[snailly]

10. Oh I believe you

I think I had the same guy! lol

[SeattleGirl]

28. Hehe!

Welcome to DU, by the way. :hi:

[Joe Fields]

9. Mr. Obenar. Once, he grabbed me by the throat, lifted me off the

floor and slammed me up against the locker for disrupting his class.

[snailly]

11. I'm so sorry

Really, I wasn't trying to bring up bad memories. I hope you are okay now.

[Joe Fields]

14. It's okay. I had that effect on teachers. I was a class clown. Once in the

sixth grade I was cutting up, and a substitute teacher slapped me in the face with a handful if wooden rulers, then kept me after school and I had to walk home.

[snailly]

17. Where the hell did you go to school?

[Joe Fields]

18. I grew up in a much different era. Nowadays, I'd own the school district

for such behavior on the part of those teachers. Back then it lawsuits were unheard of, and teachers were gods.

[racaulk]

13. Mrs. Farley. She had horrible BO, so we called her...

Yeah, you guessed it...

Mrs. Fartley.

Hey, it was elementary school. It was incredibly funny at the time. :)

[shanti]

16. miss wickham

my name for was miss wicked :evilgrin: i remember her coming up behind me in 2nd grade one day and grabbing my ear, probably to get my attention. a witch, she was...teaching way past the time she probably should have retired!

[helderheid]

19. Mr. Willey

I loved him. Kindergarten teacher in Utah. Gay. Wonderful. Got fired.

[Richardo]

20. Mrs. Wark

Looked exactly like her name sounded - a living Roald Dahl character.

[teach1st]

21. Mr. Kaye

My fifth grade teacher. Wonderful man, a Holocaust survior with a fantastic sense of humor and love for children.

He was my roll model for my own teaching (I teach fifth grade too), and his example hasn't failed me yet.

On edit: Oops, not unfortunate.

Mrs. Clark was unfortunate. She used to grind pencil points into our heads when we were bad. Second grade.

[LostInAnomie]

22. Ms. Cox

She was hot too.

[pagerbear]

23. Mrs. Peniston

Not my teacher, but teacher of the son of a boss of mine. (I got to type correspondence to said teacher.)

[DawgHouse]

24. Mrs. Klutz

I loved her very dearly. She was my 4th grade teacher. When the 5th grade teacher mistakenly accused me of damaging a school desk, Mrs. Klutz defended me, saying "There is no way she would do such a thing. She's too sweet." It felt good to have a teacher stick up for me because the 5th grade teacher was a notorious child hater. :)

[China_cat]

25. I don't remember their last name

but they were 2 old maid sister teachers who were always referred to as Squeaky and Scarface. I think they were older than the school itself as they had taught my mother and the school had burned down when she was in 10th grade.

Then I had them and both my younger sisters. For all I know, they're still there.

[Cannikin]

26. Ms. Barnas

[Flaxbee]

27. There was a "Mr. Bates" in high school, of course he got called

"Master Bates"

In 4th grade, I was taught by Miss Clara C. Clem. She was tall and had yellow hair and did NOT like me very much.

Jr. high there was Mrs. Aginiga, cool b/c her name was an anagram. Not unfortunate, just memorable.

[Maine-ah]

41. we had a local cop by the same name

and well known as Master Bates.....lol

[immoderate]

44. It's a palindrome.

Anagram means you can rearrange the letters to form other words.

--IMM

[Flaxbee]

46. yup, you're right ... my mistake

palindrome.

[immoderate]

49. Just keeping the record straight...

I got corrected on something by a fellow DUer just yesterday. BTW, the longest known palindrome is:

A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!

--IMM

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. Sister Mary Elephant

:popcorn:

[Vidar]

31. Mister Bader.

[datasuspect]

32. Sister Mary Polesmoker

Father Ben Dover

[Bzzzz]

33. Mr. Glasscock...

we called him "Crystal Dick":rofl:

[Lyric]

34. Mr. Hiney

I probably shouldn't poke fun at him, since he is no longer among the living, but still...you can imagine the typical high-schooler reaction to *that* name...

[scarlet_owl]

35. Mrs. Stanko.

My math teacher in middle school.

[Okiojira]

36. Mr. Boehner

pronounced "boner". Not a good name to have when you're a teacher in junior high school.

[querelle]

37. Mr. Backhouse

Grade 9 geography. A real nice man with a gift for teaching but an unfortunate name.

Q

[bikebloke]

38. Miss Crab

We all thought she was mean because of her name. Though not being in her class, we never really knew.

Crazy kids, we were.

[mikeargo]

Mr. Peacock

This was college, so we were WAY too mature to make fun of it. Yeah, right.

[Maine-ah]

39. Mr. Cox

I shit you not. Very appropriate name too.

[Inchworm]

40. Mr. Charlatan

Daughter's first grade teacher. An excellent teacher and still my daughter's favorite but the name always tickled me.

:hi:

[Texasgal]

42. Mrs. Bowels

Uggg!

[BrotherBuzz]

43. Mrs. Krowl

Older than dirt, but arguably the best grammar teacher in the world. Sadly, I was a poor student and was always in her gun sights.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". I heard her say this a million times in her acerbic southern accent, and it still reverberates in my head.

[Nikia]

45. Mrs. Ringle was an old teacher

So some of the kids called her Mrs. Wrinkle.

[libnnc]

47. Mrs. Robinson

She looked NOTHING like this...



Edit to add: Though she did enjoy berating and torturing us daily.

[lse7581011]

48. Mr. and Mrs. Horr!

No kidding-one taught math the other english! Very sweet people though!

[Nikia]

50. Miss Stoner

Luckily, I was naive enough then not to find it as funny as I do now. It is probably good that she wasn't a high school teacher.

[Jade Fox]

51. Miss Fink

She was a very nice teacher, but in those days "fink" was not a good thing to be.

[dolo amber]

52. Miss Fortune

That's about as unfortunate as it gets. :D

Also had a physics teacher named Mr. Constant, which is amazingly hilarious. :rofl:

[Kerrytravelers]

53. Morris Boobert. And he was totally hot, too. Just an unfortunate name.

He was a music prof when I was in my undergrad program. He actually introduced himself, then said he was going to turn around and busy himself so we could all giggle and get it out of the way. So, he had a sense of humor about his name.

Did I mention how completely hot he was? All us ladies loved it when he came by and assisted us in our piano technique. He was innocent, but we loved being that close to such a hunk!

[Joe Fields]

54. Oval Newman. Yes, he was shaped like an oval...

[MNDemNY]

55. Ms, Babich...4th grade...she was hot!

[MNDemNY]

56. Ms. Shue...She latter married Mr. Box...no sh#t! Yes she hyphenated.

[mvd]

57. In college, Professor Hardman

The name could scare people off! He was a Philosophy professor, and he wasn't that hard in comparison to many of the others at my college. I got a B.

[Shine]

58. Mr. Krumpschmidt

seriously.
:rofl: He was pretty cool, though, I must admit.

[Sanity Claws]

59. Sister Mary Immaculate -- aka "Big Mac"

[Rising Phoenix]

60. Mrs. Dickoff...no joke

my sixth grade teacher

[uppityperson]

61. Mr. Forkner

[femmocrat]

62. Mr. Curley, who was bald!

LOL

[NewWaveChick1981]

63. Miss Horney, the seventh-grade teaching assistant.

:rofl: Having her named that was kind of like calling a bald guy Curly, though. :P She was anything BUT...

[crim son]

64. There's a woman called Mrs. Gass who teaches first grade

here in our area. Imagine the youngsters' hilarity. :rofl:

[UrbScotty]

65. Mrs. Worst. (nt)
