Jeremy

By alicia75 - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Elkhart

Today, my teacher told us at least 7 different stories about his cat, Jeremy, and how much he eats. And he wonders why we never get anything done in his class. FML

Turn in notes of the stories and claim it's all you learned.

Hopefully, that makes class not boring, unless it's a fun class.

sounds like a teacher of mine who had a monotone voice and would cause us to fall asleep not that he cared but he would always stray off topic then give us assignments without really going over what's involved hang in there OP try to make the best of it!

Your run-on sentence almost put me to sleep.

I've had a teacher like that! He would not only tell us stories about his cat, called Hulk. But also share his self drawn comics about "Hulk the Awesome Cat" too. Best class ever!

My English teacher used to tell loads of random stories but we would still get work done. Made the class a nice break from other classes.

Yep, that explains a lot about American educational system. Too bad you have to bear listening to these stories OP

That told you everything about Americas educational system.? So obviously you're from japan where you breath, sleep, eat and shit education. Because having a story telling teacher is so unfamiliar in other countries.

1) He's from Pakistan. 2) That comment about Japan is racist. 3) If you're paying thousands of dollars to get an education, who gives 2 ***** about the damn cat. If its a story that is relevant in some way to the material, that's fine, but I'm guessing all these cat stories are not relevant. I'd be glad to live in a country where wasting peoples time and money wasn't common practise.

Better than my history teacher who would stop in the middle of lectures because "orbs" were floating through the room. I really have no clue how that woman had/has a job.

She could have seriously been seeing orbs flying through the room, otherwise knows as spirits aka ghosts. But for the people who don't believe in that kind of stuff she was just crazy.

She probably had bacteria floating in her eye or a heart/blood condition! Don't just assume crazy..

There was a math teacher in my highschool who was known for refusing to teach math and insisted upon teaching kids the military alphabet instead. It'd be funny if it weren't for the fact that his classes always ended up only having a 55 average... and fairing even worse in the next grade's math course....

At least your history teacher didn't give girls free 100's if they showed him their boobs, and if you were a guy all you had to talk about was husky's. Or let kids smoke blunts in class. Thats what my history teacher did, and he never got fired the whole time he was there.

Heh my history teacher in high school used to be the schools pot dealer -_-'

Still a better lovestory than twilight ;)

You better start taking notes, a test is set for next week. If you don't like hearing stories about cars, you should have never taken cats 101.

Why would you learn about cars in 'Cats 101'? ;)

I was just kidding, that's what I figured.

And this bothers you? Hey the less you do the easier the A...and it should make the class a bit more (maybe) fun and relaxing just depends on the story...embrace the time

You'd think so, but in the end the exams are the same for all students in that year of that course, regardless of who is teaching it and what they taught. There could be 2 or more teachers teaching other groups of the same course, and OPs group will have to do the same exam as them.

Teacher: "Can you explain why you failed the the test?" You: "Can you explain why you failed to educate?" ^say this if the teacher asks why you fail.

Yeah, I have a Physics professor who tends to ramble a lot as well. Admittedly his tirades are interesting, but not exactly what I'm paying to listen to. Tell your teacher that you'd appreciate it if he kept the cat stories to a minimum, and that you'd actually like to cover all the material for the curriculum. But do so gently =)
