There were always rumours about teachers. When I was at school we had the normal "Oh she's a lesbian, he's a transvestite" rumours. One of the more common tales was about a teacher nicknamed Squirty Burty, who was allegedly caught by a pupil, wanking in the art store room. When I was at school I believed this to be 100% trufact, but as I got older I realised it was probably just a convenient story to match the fact that his surname rhymed with squirt.
What rumours did you have about your school teachers and were any of them actually proven true?

was rumoured to be a lesbian. A few years later she had an affair with one of the sixth form female students and was quietly sacked.
Edit: I had moved schools in year 8 so can't vouch for the veracity of the above. Went to 12 or 13 schools in total and each of them had one or more people who were to put it kindly 'strange.' The older the school the more they were tolerated

That 2 of the teachers were married (True)
That 1 teacher had epileptic fits in the worst possible places i.e. Top of stairs, middle of road (also True)
and that the English teacher was caught with one of the Sixth Formers (not true, but later to be scarily predictive)
ALSO: There was a Food Tech (Home Ec to you oldies) teacher who left the year before I joined, who would give detentions for the following things; Answering too loudly to her questions, scraping your chair, folding a tea towel wrong, not washing your hands 'her way', laughing while walking into the classroom, and last but not least, sneezing near her. It didn't matter how well you controlled it, used a hankie or anything, definite detention. Interestingly, that one was told to us by another teacher, so wasn't treated as a rumour in quite the same way!

A rumour about the geography teacher being married to a science teacher. It was true but never confirmed so everyone talked like it was shocking despite it not being so. We also had a music teacher who was also a really good friend and mentor. He was killed by a hit a run driver which was sad. I found out before he died that he was sleeping with 3 year 11 girls. They were all together one day and all confessed that they were sleeping with someone but couldn't say who. They all agreed to tell as long as the others did. When they all found out that it was the same guy they phoned his wife. Oh dear. My reaction was "fuck it, they were all over 16" I expect my reaction would have been different if I hadn't known him.

1.Mr Maharris aka ‘Mahonky’ (history) – claimed he used to be in the SAS and had shares in a South African diamond mine. ‘Look in the car park boys – look at all the shitty cars. See that one? Black. Ford. Sierra. She’s all mine’. He was a committed sadist and you could swear at him with impunity.
2.Mr Symes (music) – had a funny bouncing walk ‘because he’d tried it on with the (impossibly fit) Miss Dudley in the music cupboard and she’d kneed him in the bollocks’. Wore a dove-grey leather blouson and spoke in faux-hip style pronouncing little as ‘liddle’ and ‘if you wanna prad around’ for ‘if you want to prat around’ etc. Cunt.
3.Mr Green aka ‘Beaky’ (English) – was ‘definitely a paedophile’. No evidence for this was ever offered.
Then there were millions of other magical characters who would never be allowed to teach today such as Mr Lennox who told my brother’s class on their first day ‘bit of advice for you boys: watch out for the darkies’,

This was the incident that caused food blender manufacturers to introduce the safety feature of only being able to switch the buggers on when the lid was properly connected.
No idea if this is true or not, but if it was it's both monumentally retarded and also very cool to have inspired a safety feature that has probably saved lots of appendages going the same way.

with the French teaching assistants. Young women who would come over from France and work with the language teachers, taking a few pupils out of the class at a time to practice speaking French. Why torture? Well, as if it wasn't bad enough putting a quiet, chronically shy young man in a room with a stunningly beautiful woman and a handful of his classmates, I was quite good at French...only to find that all my l33t language skillz vanished as soon as this psiren asked me a question and my tongue ceased to function. In particular, the lithe, pert, blonde woman who introduced herself sweetly as "Emilie" and said she was from "Northern France, a small village near Brest."
Oddly enough, the German language assistants never had the same effect on me...
Fast forward three years and a student teacher enrols and takes us for a few biology lessons. I think she was Vietnamese, either way she was unbelieveable.

One of our Maths teachers was supposed to be a peado. Apparently he got fired or something, but later I learnt that he actualy got another job in another school, so I kinda doubt that one.
Oh and there was our RE teacher who we all thought was a peado, but it turned out that the reason every afternoon lesson was conducted with the blinds down and the lights out was because he'd been drinking steadily throughout the morning/lunchbreak and the reason that he'd rest his hand on students sholders as he navigated the room was because he actualy couldn't walk properly. As it was it turned out that one of the reasons he was such a boozer was because he was in near constant pain due to some kind of degenerative desieze. I felt kind of bad for mocking him when I found that out.
