They're thick
PE teachers are thick.
Now I know that isnt exaclty revolutionary or secret information, but they are.
Can't get a proper job, become a teacher.
Can't get a teacher job, become a PE teacher.

There is various evidence to support the low IQ, but I will supply one from my own experience.

I must ahve been about 13-14, first or second year in 'big' school.
I had lost my rugby boots, not a major issue to me, i hated rugby. However I duly went looking for them, and got 'caught' by the PE teacher (well deputy). I explained and he left me to it.

I didnt find them, so when rugby was due to start most of the year (180 odd) kids weere there in their virtually identical kit. I was their on teh sideline with the other 'naughty' or 'lazy' (or fucking intelligent, depending on your point of view) kids.

Said PE teacher came along the line to confirm that we had good reason to not be participating in the ritual and painful child abuse, that was known as rugby. He got to me. He looked at me a bit. He looked up and down the line. He asked me 'have you got a brother'. Not conecting the dots, I said yes; I wasnt going to lie and I *do* have a brother, he is 2 years older than I am, and was 3 years ahead of me at shcool, and on the point of going to Cambridge.

Teacher then said, 'well you not having much luck then are you, your brother forget his boots too'

Not knowing quite what to say to this, and not wishing to give the lumbering neanderthal any reason to decide that i should be playing barefoot or some other ridiculous punishment for answering back, I shut up.

Only a bit later did i realise how dumb this was.

He thought i had a brother, presumably a twin brother. He looked along the whole line and *couldnt* see someone else looking like me. He didnt recognise me, as he only paid attention to the ten or so national quality players in the year.

Its not as funny when i type it, but he was clearly a typical PE teacher, and it was funny at the time and thinking about it afterwards.

Often, but not always
One of ours (who looked like Gomez Addams - not the film one, the proper, black & white one) taught two lessons. One was PE. The other was Physics.

For somebody who is "fucking intelligent",
you really need to have a short lesson in grammar.

Also, you "fucking intelligent" guy,
are you aware that teachers need a minimum of one degree, even at primary level?

Your punctuation is poor, your storytelling technique is poor, and the story itself is, surprisingly, poor.

If you would like me to close read and mark the story, highlighting all errors, I'd be glad to, even though it would take some considerable time.
