Who was your craziest / most interesting teacher?

I had a Spanish teacher in middle school who loved to talk about herself all the time. She would tell us stories about her being from a "ghetto in Ohio." Everytime a student misbehaved she would yell about good education and how she lived on the streets. She wore a sombrero to class on some days even though she was not Mexican and always bragged about how much of a "redneck" she was. She would sometimes go into class with looking like one of those pastel gothic dolls every once in a while. She wore a pink dress with white lace and pink boots. She even wore a pink cowboy hat along with the rest of it. She caked her face with foundation. Her hair was bleached blonde and it was short with bangs in the front. She is fifty years old and she still uses bangs. I found her Twitter account and found out she is obsessed with this celebrity named 'Tom Ellis'. She tweets to him and he never tweets back, it is quite sad really. I don't believe she has a husband or children, all she talks about is her sisters and how many Spanish friends she has. In order to teach us Spanish she would make up these stupid rap songs that she thought were 'fun'. She made one up that goes, "tu, tu, yo, yo, these are words describing I and you, learn it too!" She became the "redneck, ghetto, Ohio tu, tu, yo, yo teacher" soon enough. One day one of the oddest students in the school began to act out. His name was Tarique and he was weird. He always squealed in class and threw his arms everywhere. His main catchphrases being, "YOU LITTLE NASTY!" and, "I'M A TARIIIIQUE!" That day our Spanish teacher was in a really bad mood and began to lash out at students for the smallest things. Tarique began to get upset because three kids were bothering him, this weird kid with a Justin Bieber haircut named Michael, a white kid who blasts loud rap music from his Blue Tooth speakers named Justice, and a crazy ass kid named Dylan. These three were the holy trinity when it came to annoying Tarique. Tarique began to grew annoyed and loudly whined and breathed loudly with an asthma sounding breath. He threw his arms everywhere and shouted, "YOU LITTLE NASTIES!" from across the room. The Spanish teacher heard this and yelled at all of us, "why are you disrupting my class?! YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS CLASS IF DON'T WANT TO LEARN SPANISH! I HAD TO PAY 100,000 DOLLARS TO GO TO COLLEGE TO COME HERE AND TEACH YOU ALL! MY FATHER USED TO BEAT ME AND I HAD TO LIVE ON THE STREETS! MY FATHER LEFT MY MOTHER AND SHE HAD TO RAISE US AS A SINGLE MOM! I HAD TO WORK MY BUTT OF TO GET THIS JOB AND THEN I COME HERE TO DEAL WITH THESE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES!? NONE OF YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH WHAT I DID SO BE RESPECTFUL! She did this most everyday because most kids in the Spanish 1 were disruptive and she would have to scream at them... it was messed up and I did not learn Spanish in that particular class... After that day of dealing with my Spanish teacher I came home to my little brother playing Minecraft and being angry. He was so angry that he took his Minecraft diamond sword merchandise and began to poke me. That was a weird day considering everything that had happened... My eighth grade Spanish teacher was probably one of the most fascinating teachers I've ever had...
