Teachers can be some of the funniest characters...I had one in 6th grade-Mr. K (Kampman). He was at least 60 when my older sister had him and she's eight years older than me. He believed in bagel power....bagels give you the ability to accomplish anything. Mr. K was so on top of his game because of bagels.


He would say stuff in class like "poo on you" when you were bad. He also said "GAAABAGE" when people cursed or blasted rap or thing that weren't "proper." We did the funnest projects in his class. There were so many people at his retirement luncheon because everyone loved him so much.


Did anyone else have such memorable teachers?

i had this one teacher named miss bliss. she used to be in movies when she was younger. had a nice british accent. didn't really like people using cell phones in class though.

i didnt start watching tv till i was like 7 or 8, and it was just basic tc so if it wasnt on 2 4 7 or 11 i didnt see it

it was on Nickelodeon I think. I watched waaay too much tv as a kid.

reaf reafOG 2002

Oh, then i definalty would have never known about it, we didnt get Nickelodean till like 98-99

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

same here...we used to have to stand by the tv and hold the rabbit ears so we could watch Electric Company (which by the way was the inspiration for No Doubt's "Hey Baby" video---see i'm just full of useless information) then my parents got a vcr and it changed our life i think we have the most taped from tv movies of anyone i know. The Little Mermaid was our first purchased movie and we practically wore out the tape.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 forrestina

morgan freeman was on EC...i used to watch the PBS ROCK-BLOCK...sesame street, electric company, magic garden, mr. rogers, and zoom

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ok4now

i loved all those shows...whenever i babysit i make the kids watch sesame street and zoom instead of nickelodeon shows...they are much more educational...i used to watch mr. wizard on nickelodeon though and that was like a super dry zoom

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 forrestina

i forgot about mr. wizard! i used to always turn his show on about 4 mins before it was over...so i just got to see something blow up and whatnot

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ok4now

i used to get up early to watch it with my dad before he went to work...we also watched zoobalie zoo and mousercise

You've got your looks, your pretty face, and don't underestimate the importance of body language.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 forrestina

WOW! Look at this, it's a dinglehopper!

reaf reafOG 2002 forrestina

haha, me and my sister had the book, and it came with a cassete tape, so we knew all the words to all the songs on it, we even made dances to some of them, our favorite dance we did was the jig...haha.. I think by far little mermaid is our all time favorite walt disney.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 reaf

we were definiteliy obsessed. my mom bought us a book of the songs to play on our recorders. she also bought us a puzzle we did while we watched the movie. whenever we went in our pool we played mermaids and put diving rings on our feet to keep them together.

reaf reafOG 2002 forrestina

haha, HOly crap, we did that to with the diving rings...lol

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 reaf

awesome---i taught it to all the kids i babysit for so the next generation knows ;)

iwz iwz forrestina

haha, little kids with rings around their feet and water sounds like a recipe for disaster!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 iwz

no we were like fish my mom threw us in the pool to learn how to swim...actually i fell in in the winter and swam across under the cover so i could get out at the ladder and i had never swam before that

WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! I'M EATING A BAGEL RIGHT NOW!!!

malibu #3.1 malibuOG 2001

bagels definetely do have power. i used to need to have one every day and that semester i got A's in everything. they used to be my favorite food too. soo yummy.

ilikebirds #4 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i just remembered. i had a history teacher and his name was MR. K.
he was the dumbest old man alive. he loved our class though. since it was the last class of the day. i dont think i learned a thing in that class.

malibu #5 malibuOG 2001

i had this history teacher in 6th grade. He was amazing. His name was Mr. Vogel and he had all these samuri swords in his room that we used to fight with. they were real too!! we only sparred though.

when we talked about war technology development of sparta he brought in a bow and we had to string it. nobody in the entire grade could do it.

then in medieval times he had a full suit of armor he would wear for weeks and wherever you were in the school, you could tell where he was.

He helped us build our own computers (that he got to keep for his room. only man in the regular school classroom with 28 computers.)

When you weren't passing, he offered this one kid a hunting stand since that was his favorite sport if he got a C for the marking period.

i think one of the best things about him though was how his heart was open to the truth. we would do about the nation of israel and the jews AND our history book actually said Jehovah!!! that made me so happy. then i would know all the books of the bible and he would let me explain the 10 plagues and the 10 commandments. he was very interested in religion but refused to give his thoughts in class so i always stayed after and talked to him. he never studied that i knew of, but he always took, read, and discussed the literature with me. i hope for one day he will.
