Remember all those. Then there was skull the biology teacher. Gave one of our class a good hiding for throwing a pen across the classroom. Excused himself by saying the perpetrator would be throwing scalpels next.

Remember that scandal. I believe he was acquitted.

His defence was that somebody had shown him something he did not wish to see.

And who thought it would be a good idea to give Jack Liddell a GUN once a year
100 words of 14 letters ...
He scared everyone in my class into passing maths O Level. Even without the gun.

This actually happened just a few months ago, although I can't remember where. A girl or young woman lost her life when her head struck the branch of an overgrown tree.
I've no idea what happened but this reminds me of that American film when a new yob student ( a Dutch immigrant?) wore down a teacher and finally broke him after killing animals kept in the school (I think). I remember his colleague subsequently bursting into his classroom to find him teaching and getting answers from the now ultra-attentive class by pointing a loaded gun at them. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked. "I'm teaching, for the first time in my career I'm actually teaching!"

That really did happen during my time at the school! I was told about it by a few of the train boys who were in the compartment with the unfortunate victim.

Nowhere in all these threads have I read anything about the Woodwork teacher Harry Barker. He was one of a kind. I spent 4 fruitless years trying to make a Mortise and Tenon joint. Whenever I would make one and offer it for inspection, Harry would glance at it, throw it backwards over his shoulder into the waste bin and tell me to start again. Any infractions would trigger a punishment which was to run around the school field a certain number of times, depending on the severity of the infraction. At times Harry would gather the whole class around him and tell us how soft we had it, and how his generation were all buried in France due to the 1st World War.
By the way, I too was caned by Tabby along with several others for marching up the stairs in unison after the whole school was called together for a warning about some behavior that was unacceptable.
