My English teacher.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the midst of the dreaded exams it brought me back to my days at the wrong end of a pointy stick. Yup school. The best days of your life? Aye right. It seems somethings don’t change though and that every school still has the \u2018\u2019weird teacher\u2019<\/p>\n

Yup. We had more than one. We had a glut. A herd. A brace. A collection. A hump. Yes a hump of weird teachers.<\/p>\n

No name no pack drill but.<\/p>\n

English Teacher \u2013 the living embodiment of a Giles Grandmother \u2013 see picture<\/p>\n

A chain smoker who handed our jotters back with burn holes and ash smears. She used to shout at me when I wasn\u2019t even in the class and once threw the wooden blackboard duster at my chair only to be told I was off that day. A real peach.<\/p>\n

Art teacher \u2013 spent a lot of her time locked in a cupboard weeping.<\/p>\n

Not helped the day I took in a life size python – rubber – and draped it over her desk.<\/p>\n

Once upended a paint pot on a girls head just cos her perspective was wrong. HER PERSPECTIVE? Jeez.<\/p>\n

History teacher \u2013 yawn \u2013 highly strung.<\/p>\n

French teacher \u2013 we suspected of being a Russian spy cos she wore a furry hat \u2013 early signs of an overactive imagination.<\/p>\n

Latin Teacher \u2013 thicker specs than the thickest specs you have ever seen. He wore his gown around the school \u2013 not his dressing gown his \u2013honest I graduated from University gown. \u00a0This was a small school on the north east coast of Scotland not Oxford. A friend met him years later under the pseudynm Mabel. A cross dressing Latin teacher.<\/p>\n

The rest? Had faded in my memory no name no packdrill and frankly no education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
