This could be funny to someone else, and I could see why, but it just pisses me off.
See, in my life I've had a few teachers who just didn't give a shit, at all. Like for 11th grade physics, I had this guy named Mr. Guilmain who literally wouldn't teach. I don't mean he was bad or he didn't explain things enough, I mean he did stuff like show us his vacation photos and tell us about how if we're not agnostic we're wrong. I hope he gets cancer made of AIDS.
Also, he's my explanation for not getting any of the physics jokes XKCD's put out. The only thing I learned in his class was that A=M/F or something like that, and that was from him showing a video of a different teacher (a video he paid more than a hundred dollars for).
In 12th grade, my French teacher would read, or have someone read, the translation of a piece, and we would write down what they said, and then we'd hand in what we wrote for a grade. It was the most pointless thing.
Don't get me wrong, I did have a lot of awesome teachers that really helped me learn the material and made look forward to class every day, but that's not relevant right now.
TL;DR: I am unable to separate my experiences with awful teachers from my reading of this comic, even if said comic is intentionally over the top.
[EDIT, one day later:] Commenter "Fake Name" points out that SMBC has done this same joke before, except instead of the teacher just saying more or less random things, there's a structure to it, built around a pun.
