There were 3 rumours I always remember from my school
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!

We had similar
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.

I misread that as 3 11 year old girls
And was readying my pitchfork when I reread it.

To try and dig up his grave?

"Pitchfork"
is the name of your backhoe.

It's one of many things I have named Pitchfork.
It's also the best surname I've ever seen.
