Just Remembered this one
Year 7, first year of secondary school and our very first term.

We had a new teacher to the school, he came all the way from New Zealand to teach us English. We should have been proud that he felt the need to come this far to improve our grasp of the language and the literary treats it held.

We broke him in less than a 2 months. When I say we, I mean one boy.

He did this in an ingenious way: He would constantly say "Tree" every 2 minutes for a 50 minute lesson. 2 lessons a week.

On the day that he broke he just sat at his desk and cried as the boy still kept on saying tree.

Not the only tale from our year. We got rid of another teacher through stress and another almost left after being chased down the stairs by an angry student. 4 years we were all together and I wouldn't change it for anything. We were known as the worst year to pass through our school in the 20 years that one teacher had been there.

Good to have some achievement from school isn't it?
