Teachers are people too. Don't be a jackass.

You weren't perfect either...

Heres two things that realy will get a teacher.

1.In science class theres that kid who grew up watchen a lot of scifi movies. So when a subject comes up they always ask a question that every body else knows will never work. Then the teacher has to explane why it wont work, and then the kid asks two to three other questions about it, while the other just sit a watch as there having there own conversation. You can tell the teacher getting ticked because by now hes not even looking at he student and just giving short answers.

2. I love it when some thing new happens in politics, cuase its a sure thing that the social studies teacher is going to bring it up in class and ask your veiw on it, and expect your veiw to be the social exptaple answer and if it isnt he'll as why. Two responce from people in my class on agreeing to 420.

It'll be easy for me to make money when the stuffs legal.

Let the dumb @sses smoke pot, how else are we going to keep the population down.

Both gave him that dear in a head lights look.

I wish I could come up with something, I really do. God knows I tried too, but when you can play oblivion and talk in class and still pay good enough attention to class to be one of your teacher's favorite students (the guy I talked to in english class was one of my teacher's other favorites and was also talented enough to be paying attention) you just learn to take advantage of your skill. The stuff you can get away with if you are clearly interested in the subject and aren't obfuscatorily stupid is amazing. Gotta say I love the colored chalk one, though.

As a teacher, I'll offer my inside advice on annoying us.

1.) Dont do you homework.

2.) Waste our time by not caring.

3.) Instruct your parents to not be involved in your education.

4.) Don't give your teacher common courtesies that one would expect a fellow human being to recieve.

5.) Attempt to poison them by putting random crap in their drinks without knowing any allergies they may have.

6.) Be the kid who disrupts the few kids who actually give a crap about their education.

7.) Be the kid who is convinced they know more about life than the teacher who has actually lived it.

8.) Stay convinced that your problems are so special no one understands you and thus you must continue to be an outcast.

9.) Be a melodramatic child and bring on that awesome middle/high school drama that is so important.

10.) Continue to be a part of the problem in schools instead of being productive and helpful in finding solutions.

!!Bonus!!  Continue to be able to recite word for word popular music, curse like a sailor to impress your friends, snicker like school girls at the mention of "Moby Dick", walk with a strut in the halls, say the word "like" every other word, yet not be able to remember some important dates, mathmatical equations, or scientific principals that later in life are good to know so you don't look like an idiot at some point.

Hope those help some of you.

PS. That said, I'd never deliberately give a teacher a hard time.  I was definitely one of those kids that HATED the disruptive kids.

Same here. I only annoy the teachers who have it coming to them: my health teacher, for instance. She was always ready to get up there and tell us how "choosing" to be gay will ensure that you die of AIDS, and how watching porn will turn you into a serial killer. I just HAD to make her look like an idiot in class by pretending to be more conservative than she was.

You have not met my parents. Here's the scenario: I sign up for science research and think that it is an easy class. I blow off all the preliminary work, and when it turns out to be a hard class,I fail because I slacked off and didn't take it seriously. So what do my parents do? Instead of giving me the lecture I deserve or telling me to do better next year, Mom sends a nasty e-Mail to....... THE TEACHER! Yes, the woman who valiantly answer all of my redundant questions after the lectures I slept through. The woman  who gave me an extra day to type my paper because I forgot that it was assigned until it was due. She blames it all on the TEACHER!

Intersetingly enough, the only time I've seen behaviors that apparently annoy teachers, the teacher in question never gets annoyed. She laughs along with us as the loud annoying people say dumb stuff, and generaly just lets us have fun. We still learn tons of stuff, and those who listen pass easily. If you don't pay attention though, you are doomed.

Samurye.

I have to agree with pointing out that the teacher is wrong. What's even more fun, though, is leading the teacher through how it is wrong in such a way that they actually prove themseleves wrong. Get extra points for that if you ask me.

nice ideas here - wish I were in school again.. but that train has departed quite some time ago..

I liked to do some mischief, but mostly tried to do so without getting punished or having my mother informed.. (like most mothers, she has the worst case of 'I'm so disappointed in you'-stare)

first of all, get allies.. I used to pick a few good natured teachers nobody respected (you know them. they're nice and enthusiastic and desperately want to teach you something.. anything) and do everything I could in their class - show interest (by asking questions, but not in a disruptive way (see below), do homework and extras and so on.. teachers talk - unrespected teachers (because they're too nice) will remember you and stand up for you.. saved my hide a lot of times when conferences had me as a topic

know your teachers. some have low self esteem, others are nervous, and so on. play on those weaknesses, don't try to pull stuff on someone who won't react to it - thats just wasted effort. make them lose their patience so they get angry and react badly - they often won't report you when they themself are on the line. if they do, make sure to report every single one of their failures.. or if you get a teacher to be angry, shouting and being near to beat you.. start crying and say 'please, don't hit me, please' with as much fear as you're able to simulate. reacting as they don't expect makes them confused

mostly you don't want to get caught, but for some stunts you need to for them to work.. then its good to be obvious - the teacher will have his moment of 'I caught you'-pride until he realizes he wished he hadn't

some random thoughts with more or less value (mostly less, I fear.. damn beer *g*):

1. ask ask ask.. always start the next follow-up question with 'but'.. but isn't it .. but didn't you say.. but i always thought..

2. use a paper clip (or whatever its called in english, this bent wire to hold papers together), to pick the teachers desk-lock (only works if its a cheap one). if theres an unannounced test - learn. and if the wire accidentally breaks.. oops but never do that in front of to many students - theres always a narc

3. if you get thrown out of class and theres a tree outside the classroom. climb it, shake the tree as much as you can. I didn't get thrown out of this class anymore - my presence was less annoying than my absence. (I'm not sure what happens in other countries - I just got thrown out to roam the school grounds for the rest of the class. .but that may be just switzerland *g*)

4. for girls only: get guys to do the dirty work. even not being interested in girls I often found myself doing stuff which got ME into trouble.. and never the initiators, those devilish girls

5. be late and use stupid reasons (I didn't find the way in the fog/I forgot which classroom I had to go to) - only recommended if your teacher has not lost his sense of humour yet..

6. do as if you were supressing hysterical laughter.. barely.. when teacher asks, say its nothing, you're sorry.. repeat. teachers with low self esteem will take it personally and try to figure out what they did wrong..make them doubt themselves..

7. tap your fingers on the desk.. when you're asked to stop - continue, whithout making a sound (tapping your fingers on the back of your other hand)..

8. know more than the teacher.. thats usually not possible in the main courses.. but in lessons like IT its simple.. rub in their every mistake

9. use a screwdriver to loosen the knobs on every closet.. DON'T ask the teacher to get something.. thats too obvious. it will happen somewhen anyway.

10. if you have those pneumatic stools. sit on them and let them down. then stack. than pull the lever on a few to raise them again. you'll have a stool-tower snugly fit between floor and ceiling - only way to get them apart is to kick in the middle and run away from the falling stools.

11. if theres one of those paper-cut machines (where you position the paper and then pull the knife down): just befor the edge where its cut, theres often a metal part to hold down the paper. put some oil colors in between the gap.

12. hide a few fresh eggs in the classroom (hide them good!).. for a faster reaction.. use a fish

13. give your teacher a gift-wrapped deodorant or use a spray-deo when he/she walks by or obviously hold your breath whenever the teacher is talking near you.. just nod an as soon as he leaves, take a large breath of air with as much sound as possible.

14. if you're teacher is a smoker.. get a cigarette and play with it in front of him.. as a smoker myself I can say that this would make me want my next cigarette even more

15. write your teachers name and paint a few hearts around it - be obviously secretive. most teachers will want to see the paper

sorry for the strange explanations, my english vocabulary seems not to cover all that stuff

We played Hide The Milk. The only rule was you had to wait for someone to find it before you could plant another carton. Best hiding place ever was a circuit breaker box that was carelessly left unlocked - took the janitor a good two weeks to find it.

This one time in art class, the female teacher stepped out of the room to go to the art office, and this guy who was on very good terms with the art teachers (good artist, volunteers for the art shows) pulls out his razor and shaving cream, finds a mirror, and starts shaving. The teacher returned, and was completly flabbergasted... when she noticed. The guy was just going on as if nothing were odd at all.

It was hilarious, especially since everyone saw him get up for water and such, and we were all just waiting for the teacher to notice.

haha that is true.

rofl! genius.

I used to...

lol HS was so many moons ago...

wow.. I just learned something: I forgot the meaning of the word but I remembered how to spell it! lol

an⋅ti⋅dis⋅es⋅tab⋅lish⋅men⋅tar⋅i⋅an⋅ism

Here's one: keep pretending you forgot the teacher's name. When spoken to answer him/her with "Mr/Mrs....um..." *confused look*...
