Here is one of mine:
"So you’ve got Obama and you’ve got your mama… utilitaritianism would tell ya to save Obama, but your heart tells you to save your mama." - Professor Schumaker
Imagine him saying all of this in a mid-western accent while rhyming Obama and Mama.

so this is from highschool, but one of the english/philosophy teachers is amazing, especially since he says this to the grade 9s mostly, and they don't get it.
On a presentation marking sheet:
Level 3-May read from paper occasionally.
Level 2-Reads from paper constantly.
Forklift Operator- Can not read.

"You think I give a crap about the dean, screw him"
He also said "I got this fine piece of clothing from winners"

It's still hard to fire high school teachers. For one verbal comment? Ya right. Non-unionized private school teachers is probably a different story, but unions have a tendency to make it very difficult to fire people.
Remember that it often takes just as long to do a search or two on Google to try and find the answer to your question as it takes to type it in a post here, let alone the time waiting for a reply. If your question is "What mark does it take to get into University X", or "What are the requirements to get into University X", it's on their website and/or electronicinfo.ca (for Ontario schools). Particularly for Ontario schools, those ranges are a pretty good picture of what kind of mark will get you into the program, and if you're more than a couple percent higher it's practically guaranteed unless it requires a supplementary form.

One of my retired english teachers was subbing one day, and there was a guy in my class that kept picking on thsi girl until she flipped, then he started absolutely screaming at him for picking on this girl (she had learning disabilities) which culminated in him yelling "You're Pondscum! PONDSCUM!"
laughed my butt off.

lol pondscum... english teachers definitely have the most creative insults.
Yeah, i go to a non-unionized high school, but the staff are pretty tight, and the guy's been teaching with the school for 20+ years, so everyone knows he's a bit crazy but he's usually got good reason. that being said, yeah, he calls people objects/ejects them out of his room like that on a regular basis...
