She disappeared (literally, left the state with no one having any idea where she was) with her grade book, and all of our ungraded semester projects, about a week before the final. Needless to say, the final was VERY easy and liberally scored. LSU History prof Mark Carleton, had some kind of dispute with the Dean one time and left for parts unknown for the summer without turning in any final grades. It caused an uproar, but he was back the next fall. Carleton taught Louisiana History and his lectures were hella entertaining. He was from Minnesota, and had degrees from Stanford and Yale. He came to LSU because he said Louisiana's history was more interesting than any other state's.
I had the same professor - I really enjoyed his class. I saw him years later at a movie and he didn't look well at all - felt bad for him.

Not really a teacher meltdown but in a comm class at LSU this guy was doing a Sudoku puzzle during a lecture and the prof told him to stop. He looked her point blank in the face and told her no. She told him to leave the class if he wouldn't stop and he told her no, he wasn't disrupting the class and he didn't want her to be able to penalize him for missing class. This went back and forth for a few very uncomfortable minutes, other students started to speak up and told the guy he was being an a-hole. Finally the teacher excused everyone for the day except for him. Never saw the guy in class after that.
Good for that guy. He's not disrupting class and can pay to sit in that class and not pay attention if he wants. frick that teacher and the retards that backed her.

The teacher won, since he was no longer in the class after that. A student pays for the class (although only partially, since taxpayers and others pick up a big chunk.) But that doesn't make the teacher his employee or servant. The teacher is offering knowledge, under conditions set by that teacher and the University. If the student doesn't agree with those conditions, he can carry his arse. As he did, voluntarily or not.

If he's distracting the teacher, he's distracting the class. GTFO. I constantly did puzzles, searched the internet, etc. so I'm not trying to act above it. But if a teacher requested me to leave, no way I'd be that disrespectful.

That female teacher (Lambert) at MHS senior year tried to write on my face with a highlighter because she thought I was sleeping. She was actually trying to jab it in my eye for a second. Then, she randomly had an emotional breakdown and just completely stopped coming to school.
Dang.
I was talking about geometry...Bayhi?

Oh I got this one...10th grade Tara High School.
Some kid called BYU Backyard University. Teacher apparently graduated there. Holy cow, never actually saw that neck vein protrude so much on someone as this guy. I don't even remember the words he said to this kid, just the red face and bulging veins.
This same teacher ended up getting statutory rape for fricking around with girl students. It was word around campus for a long time and clearly I noticed the attention he would get from some chicks. I found out about the statutory rape years later in the Advocate.

My junior year of college, I was in a major course that met Tuesdays and Thursdays at a shitty time - 4:00-5:15.
The professor wasn't a bad professor or anything - but after a couple weeks, he said we were just going to meet on Tuesdays and we should meet in our groups sometime in the week and constitute the second meeting.
Someone went to the dean and complained that they were paying for the class and it was not meeting the full time. Turns out it was an accreditation issue to not meet the full time every week, and the professor got in major trouble. On top of it all, he was in the middle of his review for tenure.
The next time we met, he went off on the class and had to be removed because he was so irate. Somehow he ended up finishing the semester, but disappeared after that. We all had the student picked out that turned him in as this liberal girl who challenged everything. Turned out to be the introverted guy in the back of the room that never said anything.

One of my high school physics teachers was arrested because he picked up some kid from another high school after classes ended. Luckily I never had him.. it happened my junior year in 2012, I looked for a link but my school did a pretty good job of getting it handled quick. I only knew the details because I use to eat lunch in my Ap chem teachers room with some guys and she was head of the science department in the dirrict.

Brother Timmothy at Stanislaus in the mid 90's.
Dude got the boot. He was drinking too hard. Then, one day, we saw him working at the Blockbuster on Veterans, and we laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.

In a case like this a professor can call campus security and have the student removed. This would probably be a matter for the Dean of Students, and it would not go well for a student who was deemed to have disrupted the class. That may well be why you never saw the guy in class after that.
Of course we can debate the question of whether or not a student quietly doing something that distracted the professor is disrupting the class, but my sense is that professors have wide latitude in matters of class decorum. Students who read the newspaper, use laptops to watch videos or surf the web, or do crossword puzzles can be viewed as distracting the class and can be asked to discontinue those activities. Whether that makes the professor in question a jerk is subject to debate.

Freshman year at App St. English Comp class. Teaching lady assigns open topic essay. Whatever you want to write about, just be descriptive and non vulgar. I wrote about my covert mission to Great Britain to find and kidnap Kelly Hansen, the lead singer of Journey. I hated Journey, and still do. I successfully found Mr. Hansen and lured him into the dudgeon of the Portchester castle, where I shackled him and left him for dead. Teaching Lady was not amused. She dressed me down in front of the whole class, lost control of here emotions and said I was a "despicable human". Turns out she was a huge Journey fan.

LSU History prof Mark Carleton,
---a legend. A teacher first, didn't hide behind his credentials, which were many. Miss him, RIP

PS, had an Ed prof at LSU nicknamed "California John", sandals, bald with a ponytail. Cancelled class once during first Persian Gulf war because he saw a hawk flying around on his way to class.

My sophomore year of high school we had a tremendous English teacher named Mrs. W. She was one of the best teachers I ever had. Mrs. W was in her mid-thirties and black and the school I attended was 99% white. An idiot, lowlife student called Mrs. W a Ni**er in class and Mrs. W took two steps toward him. He jumped up and ran into the boy’s bathroom. Mrs. W ran right into the bathroom after him, grabbed him by the arm, and took him to the principal.
Mrs. W came back to class a few minutes later. The class was pretty quiet and there was a lot of tension in the room. The students were mostly embarrassed for Mrs. W and felt bad for what happened.
About 5 minutes later Keith (another student in the class) walks in from the bathroom. He said nothing and sat down avoiding eye contact with everyone. Mrs. W looked at Keith and said “It’s ok, Nothing I haven’t seen before.”
She told the class to open to a page and called on Keith to read saying “Will you start the story off for us…………Big Fellow……...”
I don’t know if I have ever laughed so hard.
