Do you remember any of your School teachers?

[Sark79]

I was watching a bit of Restoration on BBC just now. In it, one of the featured buildings was an old School in Ireland. This got me thinking about my School days and my old teachers.

I traveled around abit as a Kid, but I do remember my first day at School very clearly. On my first day of Primary one, I was convinced that I was going to be abandoned at the School by my Dad and I was panicking. As I was being persuaded to go into the class by the Head Teacher, I swung my arm and landed a cracking blow to her eye. Unfortunately she had a black eye for about a week after that. This is the only woman I have ever hit and looking back on it now, I feel bad as she was a really nice Lady  .  She was called Mrs Jackson.  Sorry Mrs Jackson 

I can't really remember many other teachers from the various Primary Schools I attended. My attendance at Secondary School was so bad that I only have passing memories of any of the teachers there. The only one that sticks in my mind was the PE teacher as he was a nice bloke that once played for the Kilmarnock Football team.

Do you have any happy or sad memories from your School days?

Cross eyed glasses and prominent teeth.. My elder sister told me prior to attending that she was a witch..

There was one teacher at the same School as the Head Teacher I hit.  Instead of giving punishments to Kids that misbehaved, she gave them a "Shaker Maker". This involved being held by the shoulders and shaken very roughly. I remember her being a gray colour and very similar in appearance to the Ghost in the "Woman In Black" horror movie. Fortunately I only received the Shaker Maker twice, both times for my inability to count well enough. Nowadays if a teacher did that she would be sacked

But on a good side once I settled..came the long hot summers, when we were able to take the tables and chairs outside for our lessons.. or sit on the school playing field whilst read a story..them days we walked home from primary / junior school on our own ....2 miles every day..no worry about who may get at us .. just free to walk in innocence..

we had Mrs Lippiat, she had an artificial hip and used to spit when she shouted ... man you never wanted to get in trouble in her lessons in case she got in your face and screamed at you LOL

we had Mr Haydock the headmaster.... whenevr you got sent to see him for arsing about he used to give you tea and biscuits and invite you to sit down and chat about your behaviour

Mrs Wynd ... she had the unfortunate honour to be my form tutor for 4 years, lovely woman, never got mad at us, even when we used to lock her in the store cupboard when she went in there for books.

In primary school my hero was a teacher called Mr Pymont .... an absolute legend and probably the only teacher I ever had 100% respect for, the respect grew when i had left school and was a manager for Corals bookies in Luton and MR Pymont used to come in every day to have his bet, I still called him Mr Pymont even then ... he was a top bloke.

Oh, I do remember my Physics teacher at School. He was called Mr Armour and he was a nice bloke. He was in Mensa and was a National ranked Chess player. I was selected to play on his Chess team while at School and went with him to a few tournaments. I was crap at his subject though, but he was still a good bloke.  I see him occasionally and still call him Sir

Mr Bond - The love of my life!
Mr Bartle - He only taught me in year 11 for English, but in that time he came to be my most favourite teacher of all time! He was lovely.
Mr Paull - I used to wind him up something rotten, poor guy, he used to bang the table on the ground to get me to shut up and I'd just laugh in his face...ooops!
Mrs Gallagher - Once told me to "Stop fingering!" - fortunately I was just touching a map in a geography lesson... She was weird and made me pretend to be a river, and used to have red lipstick on her teeth.
Mrs Gaffney - The french teacher. I hated her. She hated me. Got me suspended so I put chewing gum in her hair, then she popped a huge condom I'd blown up "Stop playing with balloons in my lesson!"



...I was a little bitch at school!

I remember having a History teacher with a lazy eye. When he asked someone a question it was a bit tricky to work out who he was talking to...

oy, having a lazy eye is not to be mocked... it has its advantages, you can perve at women and blame it on the fact that it was the wrong eye

Tis quite funny this thread has been started, i bumped into my old English teacher a couple of days ago.

Can remember most of them, i tended to "hang-out" with the science teachers at break and lunch times.

Mind you, earned a name for myself by "Leading" a rather large demonstration during the teachers dispute regarding pay all them years ago.  A lot of pupils at my secondary school received free school meals due to their circumstances, but because the teachers were taking action, no teachers were present at luchtimes to supervise and so these unlucky kids were not getting their meals.  So we had a demo, complete with banner ( who makes em? ) and i made te point of our demo clear the the Head and deputy head.  Of course, i and 2 others were pulled up before the entire school, but kept my head high and stood my ground.

School days, eh?
