What is in a Teachers Name

Bill Hanks

With schools beginning across the country, I decided to review some of the last names of teachers that I have come across. This is not to belittle or make fun of anyone. Ninety nine percent of these individuals were excellent educators. I just wanted to provide a flashback to the days we were in school. Feel free to add to the list in the comment section.

Mrs. English, Mrs. Crabtree, Miss Purdy, Mr. Grump, Mr. Stone, Mr. Washington, Mrs. Chalk, Mr. Lunchpale, Mr. Coffy, Mrs. Carberry, Miss Shoes, Miss Hickey, Mr. Locks, Mr. Crabaze, Mrs. Wright, Dr. Drizzle, Mrs. Stern, Miss Chief, Mr. Ruyle, Mrs. Skool, Mr Hollway, Miss Pleaze, and my favorite of all time is Miss Gititwright.

Have a nice day!

    How about Mrs. Wellman. My wife has been a 4th grade teacher in the same school for ____ years (number withheld if I know what's good for me). I used to sub and was Mr. Well-man for the sick teacher. LOL

    Those are cute. I never had any but did have a teacher named Miss Kilz. I still remember - my class was horrible and we ran our fourth grade teacher off. We ended up getting her for the rest of the year. My son later had her in the fourth grade as well.

    I had Mr. Gamble for high-school Spanish. I gambled that I'd get an "A" without studying. How do you think that turned out?
