"Some of you are intelligent - and therefore won't be teachers!"

The French Baccalaureate is now over, and I have decided to publish here my archive of teacher and student howlers from the past two years. I didn't go into the pain of translating all of them (besides, some would not be as funny) and decided instead to give my English readers only those from English teachers (I followed the OIB, so I spent eight hours per week studying literature and history in English). My comments (if any) follow in italics. They are given in no particular order.
I would like to make it clear that I do not feel that the lessons I got in these two years were of poor quality; quite the contrary. Everybody makes mistakes, and I am sure that the teachers who said those would be (will be?) the first to laugh about them. This being said, here they are.
- "It was extremely extreme."
- "Every possibility... is possible."
- "You have selected your parents wrongly."
- "It's not in the exam, but it is in the exam."
- Same teacher, after some questions: "Well, it's not in the exam, but in a way, it is."
- "There wasn't consensus in Europe and there was consensus in Europe. How? Because there were two Europes."
- "... people left the school at the age of three because they never went to school anyway!"
- "It's not because you go in class that you learn anything."
- "Teacher : Elections were held in 1948 in the South. / Student : In the South of what? / Teacher : In 1948."
- "Well, back to fornication?"
- "Who's eaten the duck?"
- "It's the second potato... er... the second page..." -- from an Irish teacher
- "History is like those cooking programs..."
- "If you want a telephone, you telephone to the company and ..."
- "[Cannibals] could make hamburgers out of human bodies."
- "Missionaries went to Africa to spread christianity: 'Believe in God or I kill ya!'"
- "You tend to be very imaginative... it's great when you're seven, but it's no good when you're eighteen."
- "... send your e-mail number..." -- the teacher used this expression almost every time
- The teacher lists the fundamental freedoms, including: "... the freedom of liberty..."
- "The heat is still very ... hot..." [student]
- "We can't go to Snack Michel because it's not gonna be possible."
- About carpooling: "If you can take 4 you can probably take 6."
- "An editorial is a bit like a monologue, but it is addressed to the reader." [student]
- "This is organised chaos... it's a very anglophone notion."
- "... like I said to you the last day - when you weren't there."
- "Happy new year to you! I know you would like to be somewhere else - me too."
- "Oh, I actually have to think?" [student]
