Social inadequates
I attended a jesuit school and basically the teachers were a rag tag assortment of mentalists and sociopaths. There was Mr Johnston a man who had climed everest and competed in the olympics for britain, yet remained one of the dullest men on earth, use to bang on about plate techtonics in a voice that would make a hyperactive 5 year old pumped full of sugar fall asleep. Father Mitchell who amusingly looked like Jesus was one of the campest human being I have ever met. There was the obligatory knuckle dragging p.e teachers who probably had to concentrate very hard not to give into the instinct to start fires all the time. The latin teachers were all very strange. I cant remember the bearded twats name but he always looked and smelled like he pissed himself, he was basically a hobo. Very bitter man hating biology teacher Miss Lee I think who always had a cup full of 'tea'. The deputy head Mr Divers he was a strange and quite frightening middle aged man who looked horrendously repressed and still lived with his mother, I imagine the film saw was probably based on him. Good old Father Hanvey the irish alcy head teacher, he managed to steal quite a lot of money from the school. The only good teachers in the school would end up leaving due probably to the total lack of normal human contact. Oh aye and the time someone managed to accidentally set fire to the class in third year english the teacher at the time Mr Campbell (he had been sent for retraining because he was so useless, he always seemed like he had severe learning difficulties to me) screamed at a girl to shut the fuck up or he would break her jaw because she was scared and crying. We had to stay in the class (still burning) for five minutes before the useless waste of oxygen let us out. Ah happy days
