We used to have an RE teacher who was a gossip
The first 20 minutes of the class was always dedicated to her getting the latest dirt, picking out an interesting story and then opening it to discussion- "What are the ethical implications of this?" Maybe a bit underhand, but it genuinely got everyone thinking and reasoning a lot more than just, "Jimmy and Ellie find a £10 note on the ground. What should they do?!"

Our RE teacher was
fired, for stating in class that all redheaded women were whores.

I wasn't there for that, unfortunately. He once cornered me and ranted at me for 20 minutes becuase he'd heard (correctly) that me and some other 13 year olds from my class had been playing with a ouija board.

Nutter.

It says something similar in the bible
Near the bit where it says anyone with a skin disease is leperous and women on the rag are spiritually unclean. Oh, and where women can't teach men and if they do they should be outcast.

You're
fired as well then.

Nah, I cited my point of reference.
And I am a redheaded woman with a chronic skin disease, who's worked as a teacher.
