Jo Brand's brother once called me a twat.
He was my GCSE physics teacher, and he scrawled "twat" in the margin of a test paper when I got a question wrong.

Hahaha
Good old fashioned teaching!

Bring it back.
I remember my physics teachers motivational speeches such as telling me 'You'd be good at this if you weren't so fucking idle.' and 'you shouldn't be dicking about, you're in a high set. Fair enough, in the low sets they're swinging from the rafters, but that doesn't matter because they're going to end up stacking shelves'.

Good times.

Yeah he was an alright teacher if a bit unconventional.
I don't recall him ever giving out a detention, but he would just routinely insult pupils. He used to do spastic voice impressions of pupils as well if they were messing around. Which is fair enough, it's the language teenagers understand after all.

His first name wasn't "Roland" by any chance?

Yes it was
spelled Rowland though. I remember seeing Jo Brand on some armistice day program and it turned out an ancestor called Rowland had fought in WW1, so presumably this teacher was named after him.
