Probably didn’t let them win at softball.

Not me–I’m four years too young and 3,000 miles too warm. A poster upthread mentioned the same teacher and linked to the same article. I would scroll up and find that poster if I were you.

Whoa, talk about a brainfart…
Yup, same guy as Hello Again. I graduated over a decade after her, and that guy was hauled out of school in handcuffs while I was a student there. I spent a year and a half in his class; 5 months in normal biology and a year in the research preparatory course. All I remember of the man was that he was rather overweight, and had an odious personal habit (aside from, y’know, molesting female students). Can’t actually remember the material he taught, or indeed if he taught anything during the prep course. From what I remember, the main reason for taking that was to get credit for your research project and get out of senior shop.
Wow… all these perverts and losers. How about something more fun?
In 7th grade I had a great music teacher. He’d tell us funny stories and make dirty jokes. Like the time he was in Europe and was pleasantly surprised to find himself at a topless pool. Other times he would mispronounce the word ‘gum’ with ‘cum’. (Unrelated aside: towards the end of the year he played pop music one class. The two hottest girls in the class with the most, um, boobage, got up to dance with each other. It was all great fun, except this one kid who was hunched over in the back with his head and his backpack on his lap. Eventually he stormed out of the room. Did he have a mental breakdown over a boner?)
In 8th grade, I had social studies teacher who liked to show the class movies. A number featured full frontal nudity (but classy stuff, like Trojan Women). In 9th grade English class, we were shown Playboy’s Macbeth. Unfortunately, they fast-forwarded through the hot chicks, and only showed the old wrinkley witches.
In 10th grade we had health class, and that was a motherload of good stories. One of the classes was a slide show of genitalia with various STDs (genital warts, syphilis, etc.). One slide featured a black penis. A kid calls out in disbelief: “whoa, what STD is that?” Another time our youngish and rather attractive teacher was discussing anal sex (this was part of the curriculum). “It hurts,” she told us; quickly adding, in an unintended moment of frankness, “trust me.” This comment might have passed without notice if not for another smartass. We didn’t believe her denials.
In 12th grade we had this very old Physics teacher, who was a good guy but was starting to not be too aware of what was going on around him. Oh yeah, apparently he was also gay and brought his man lover to some of the school functions. (Eww… gay grandpa sex…) Anyway, we’d drink in his class all the time. In one of his other classes, a girl gave a guy a blowjob. This is the same girl who in 8th grade dove into the pool after swimming class wearing only a white t-shirt. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in my class then either. This girl had an incredible rack by 8th grade standards or any others. I knew for sure, because she’d never wear a bra. I feel bad for all her male teachers who’d beat themselves up over their morals.
Not too much student-teacher sex, though (as far as i know). This wasn’t the 70s 
(Although in the 70s my middle/high school transitioned from being all-girls to co-ed. Apparently the girls were so overwhelmed by the change, even some seniors dated the incoming 7th grade boys. Damn, I always fn miss out…)
P.S. haha, Stuyvesant H.S.?
crescend, hello again, hostile dialect: Hunter rejects! whoot! whoot!
OK, guys, I have never been in New York except for 12 hours at JFK. I went to high school in San Diego.
I do have a more upbeat “inappropriate” story. My favorite elementary school teacher was one of a kind, as was the very small school I attended. He taught three grades simultaneously in one classroom. 6th, 7th, and 8th, with an average of 7 kids per grade. His strongest subjects were science and math, but I found him very well-rounded and had no complaints about the education I received in his classroom. Other parents, however, often didn’t “get” him and some of his techniques. Like the time he found a freshly killed raccoon on the road on his way to school one morning, so he decided to put it in his car so he could spontaneously dissect it for those of us who wanted to see it, on the cement basketball court in the playground. Or the fact that his cursive handwriting was terrible, so he had no requirements for us to write in cursive at all in his class, ever. Or when he would let the class save up our “class points” to watch illegally copied vhs movies on the school VCR on Friday afternoons, with each of us getting a packet of hot chocolate. Many of us would eat the powder straight out of the packet with a plastic spoon.
None of these things (except perhaps the raccoon dissection, which I credit for catalyzing my life-long interest in the biological sciences) contributed to him being my favorite teacher…he really was good at his job…but they were undeniably some of his more eccentric practices that kept him in hot water with some parents.
WHATTTT??? A NUN FARTING??? I don’t believe it. I can’t believe it. Nuns don’t fart. She must have been an imposter, like in that Whoopi Goldberg movie. Nope, now way, no how. In my school, we thought that’s why old nuns were so fat. Fifty years of impacted farts.
When we grew up and went to school there were certain teachers who would hurt the children in any way they could by pouring their derision upon anything we did and exposing every weakness however carefully hidden by the kids. But in the town, it was well known when they got home at night, their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives.
With apologies to Mr. Waters.
Enjoy,
Steven
Not to me no.
There were other girls that did complain about her leering at them. If I am remembering correctly, which was over twenty years ago and after I no longer had her as a gym teacher, she was removed from that position due to complaints from students and parents. She still taught health class though and I think something else. Again it was a long time ago.
My comment was based on an experience long ago. What was inappropriate then and now are most likely completely different.
I am sorry I did not make my comment more clear.
I guess I should have said:
We had a health/gym teacher who was a lesbian. I thought at the time that it was inappropriate to have her in the position of a girls gym teacher.
As I stated. This was over twenty years ago and at the time it was considered inappropriate and what I based my comment on.
I don’t disapprove of gay people.
Did I twenty years ago?, which is what my comment was based on, yes I probably was. I was 16/17. I was ignorant as a lot of us were at that age.
For that incident? Nothing. Nobody ratted her out. (didn’t I mention that she was HAWT?) I know she did give up teaching in a few years as she realized that she was not a good fit for that profession.
A married H.S. track coach was having a well-known affair with one of the students, the sister of a guy I played ball with. I know it was dreadfully embarasssing to my friend. We would often go hunting after school out in the boonies and would see the two of them coming back into town in the coach’s old station wagon. He got fired my senior year for a relatively inconsequential event, but everyone knew what it was really for.
I had a teacher in 6th grade who set my heebie-jeebies radar off as he spent a LOT of time hanging around the prettiest girls in my class. Garden variety pervert he was—and about 3 years after I left the area, he got busted for kiddie porn on his computer. Dumb ass that he was took his computer into a local repair shop and got turned in.
In my HS chem. class we had a student teacher one semester. He got involved with one of my female classmates. This would have been when we were sophomores, making her 15 or 16 years old. I saw enough evidence of this first had to be pretty sure it happened…due to a dropped beaker late in a long term experiment, I was doing chemistry after school for a few weeks. He missed school one Monday. On Tuesday he showed up with two shiners framing a broken nose, and other facial lacerations. Rumor was that one of the coaches had a word with him about the appropriateness of his conduct…not sure if true or not. I recall the evidence of a beating, but only heard the rumored explanation years later.
In junior high, I had a math teacher who used to lend me books–by Harold Robbins. I was about 11 at the time, and loved the books. I can’t recall him ever doing anything more inappropriate than that (I was a tomboy and seriously clueless/innocent about anything of that sort–he certainly never touched me in any way), but looking back on that it did seem more than a little skeevy.
My only other inappropriate teacher was fun–she was my French teacher in high school, a very straitlaced, kind of uptight lady, but when she was in a good mood, she taught us the most interesting words in French… 
Had a chem teacher in high school with an absolutely legendary temper. My favorite anecdote was the time two guys were goofing around in the hallway and he picked them both up by the necks, slammed them into the lockers, into each other, and back into the lockers. At the same time. I think we were all more impressed at the feat of strength - he wasn’t a particulary big man, and Chris and Doug were both reasonably sized grade 11 guys.
Our former principal was a lesbian. Not an issue. She was a former gym teacher. Also not an issue. Her partner was (is) a former high school student of hers. Well, eyebrow-raising, but not really an issue. She hired a large number of gay and lesbian teachers at our school, one of whom was the softball coach who made our girls feel very uncomfortable. But that is just as likely the perception of the kids; I never felt she acted inappropriately.
However, i can totally see the argument that it might be an issue ot have a lesbian or gay PE teacher, if only because I can see the shock if a male gym teacher were to be hired for female students…
In HS one English teacher typed up a swear word (fuck) and handed it out to the students. This is because one student asked her to for a school project.
That student was me.
Both gym classes I took in high school were coed (in a suburb between DC and Baltimore, in 1989 and 1993). Both of my gym teachers were male. I didn’t have a problem with it, nor did any of the other girls in the classes that I knew of.
Our fifth grade teacher had a different demeaning nickname for each kid. He’d also pick a kid at recess and force the other kids to beat them up. Also, even farther back, I had a gym teacher who dragged me by the hair one time because I wasn’t going fast enough.
