My dear old mum
My mum was a teacher in some seriously rough schools in north Liverpool in the late 80's - early 00's.

Rough like - the first school she taught in, where two kids got suspended for fighting, so nicked a couple of hammers from the woodwork lab and took them to the deputy-head's skull. He never worked again.

Most of the kids she taught were, in her words, "thick as pigshit, with the ambition of housebricks". She mostly blamed the parents.

She constatntly battled with the disruptive fuckers, who thought it was hillarious to chuck stuff at her when she was writing on the board. When she told the little bastards that they'd spend the rtest of their lives on the dole, they just look confused, like there was any other option.

Nice places, they were.

However, the kids who actually wanted to study, she would go out of her way to help. She even did a little bit of fiddling with the classes in her year group, so there was one class that was almost entirely populated with those who actually wanted to be there.

She was teaching this class one day and the one that had slipped through the ambition net was playing up as normal, doing everything he could to stop my mum from teaching and the other kids from learning. My mum lost her rag and told him to get out of the classroom.

He walked up to her, stuck two fingers up in her face and said "fuck off you sad old bitch!". My mum did exactly what she'd do if I told her to fuck off, she slapped him hard enough to knock him on his arse and said "I said get out".

Kid stands up and starts yelling "that's assault! That's assault! I have you done!" then turns to the now silent class and says "you all saw!"

My mum's career flashed past her eyes, then one kid calmly said "we didn't see shit! Sorry, miss! We didn't see anything!"

Mum kept her job, kid never said a damn word to her again.

Surely that's a bit inappropriate!

Although ace story and it's stories like this one that make me think there are good kids and reasons to teach!
