I had several teachers in college that had breakdowns. I only know the outcome of a couple. One got fired, one went into therapy, two retired, and one crashed his fuckin airplane! Dead. Engineering students are bastards.
I had a Biology teacher that used to drink Irish coffee every day at work, one day I think she had a cup too many and she broke down crying school about how much she hated her job, it was very strange to say the least
Lol, I've been the teacher that has gone ape shit in class now, lol, it's really an ironic twist of fate. Today this one kid did his homework totally half assed, and I was asking him if he even understood what to do, and he just sat there and laughed like an idiot. I picked up his book and threw it across the room. And sometimes when you're teaching kids who speak no English you have to do stuff like that to show them you're really pissed off about behavior, and etc.
No. The definition of sound is the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium. So, if there are no "organs of hearing" then there is no sound.
We had a few crazy subs in high school. One made an eighth grade class march up and down the halls like robots. The other one always carried like 6 huge shopping bags with her at all times. She would hide behind her desk and eat powdered doughnuts all the time. It was hilarious.
For a real breakdown, we had a really thwarted kid in our school who had a problem with whipping it out and jerking in front of whoever. He did it in front of our choir director one day and she had a mental breakdown, never to return again.
Great poll. I didn't know so many teachers broke down.
I was eating pez in the back of the classroom in 7th grade and the teacher noticed, and proceeded to throw a baseball sized rock at me. She missed, and it hit the lockers in the back of the classroom. Last year or so, I saw this teacher again. We had a nice convo, and she said she nearly lost her job for that. I was glad she didn't. she was one of my Faves, even though she threw the rock. Was pretty terrifying. I stopped eating pez in class.

Incorrect.
The definition of sound is: Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing.
Any vibration in the audible range is considered sound, whether somebody hears it or not.
EDIT to add: if you wish to incorrectly define "capable" as "being in the presence of" then it's your business, I supposed...though wrong
When I was in grade 6 we had a few different teachers, we were considered the worst group of kids to go through that elementary school. First we had a male teacher break down and cry and quit, then several sub teachers, and finally we had this nutty woman that would freak out. She even went as far as to drag me down the isle and bounce me off of a few desks, she was fired after that move. So we finished the year with sub teachers.
"Uh, tree, if one of you falls and no one is around to hear you, do you make a noise?"
"Oh yeah, Scott fell over last week and hasn't shut up about it since."
"Oh yeah, go ahead and bitch, but you don't see anyone trying to HELP ME!"
Apewise, I remember our assistant principal was mad enough at one student to punch out the window of the classroom door. He broke it too; you know, that glass which is maybe 4 inches wide and 24+ high, with wire in the middle to keep it from getting broken. Yea, he broke unbreakable glass.
I did have a sub once brought porn for us to watch during class in 9th grade. I wonder why we never saw him again...
2. Hell yes, and I think i was 97.% of the casue. We had a class called CAAP (Career & Personal Planning) in my high school. The female teacher started screaming at everyone in class and crying uncontrollably. We all started lauging and she lost it even more. The 1 gay kid in the school was in the class, he stood up, said "Uh! how inappropriate!" and walked out. LOL.
If nothing is there to observe it, then the tree has both fallen and not fallen until it's been observed and locked in to a fixed state of reality. So no sound. *nods*
My favorite teacher freak out was a sub in... I want to say eighth grade science class. No one stood to say the pledge, and he freaked out and started yelling about Vietnam and watching his friends die, then writing detentions for everyone in the class that didn't have copies underneath, and were worthless. Security wound up escorting him out of class and sitting with us for the rest of the period.
There was also a sub in elementary school who made us call him Mr. Christ, but I don't know if that was really his name or if he was just a nut.
Strange to hear so many stories about crazy subs. I was a sub only a few months ago. I never went crazy on kids, I would just make sarcastic comments at them to embarass them or make them look stupid in front of the whole class, of course only if they were acting up.
There was this one sub we had all the time in middle school (he also did subbing in high school, so we had him for quite a number of years.) He was this really old guy who served in WWII, and always told us stories and stuff about it. Hell, I even saw this guy still at it when I was subbing a few months ago. Anyway, when I was in eighth grade, he was at my school, (I wasn't in this class BTW) and a kid busted out some weed and started to smoke it in class. He caught on after a little while and he threw the weed and paraphanelia out the window. Apparently, he didn't tell the administration about the incident, they had to hear about it from the kids. I think he got suspended for a while and that was it, or he just decided to do high school instead, because I remember having him again a few times.
Okay, I just remembered, here is my substitute going apeshit story. One day I was subbing a photography class, and I just had to show the kids a video. This one group of juggalos (I'm mystified at how this little subgroup still exists) was sitting in the back of the class. As soon as I turned off the lights for the movie, the three of them attempted to abscond from the classroom, it was so obvious because I saw the light from the hallway pour in the room and heard the door when they opened it. I chased them down the hallway and they were on their way out the front door when I caught up with them. I yelled "What the hell are you doing?" Their response "Just going to the bathroom." I yelled back "Bullshit, get your ass back in class!" I escorted them back and had the dean come to the room. While we were waiting for him I asked "Geez, did you guys really need to smoke a blunt THAT badly?"

Yes, crying / nervous break down.. Nothing funnier then seeing a teacher lose it after arguing with a student..
