Our Classics/Latin teacher lost his job
because of a newspaper article which reported his supposed attempt at arranging a sexual encounter with a young boy. He always used to let us know he could see everything that went on under the tables, and he used to let pupils get changed in his classroom. That was in the article too, apparently he liked watching people with no shame changing their clothes.

As is the norm, both my RE teachers and three of my PE teachers were wacko.

RE teacher 1: Assigned us the same work every week for two years. Never read what we wrote, marked us on how nice our handwriting was. Criticised all of us for not going to Church. Looked like a burn victim.

RE teacher 2: Dated at least one pupil. Extreme feminist, assumed that everything I said was sexist. This was bad when she was my form tutor, but worse during A-Levels when I was in a class of four people. Had shouting matches all the time, lots of fun.

PE teacher 1: Completely awesome guy. Beard, beer belly, told us that Bacardi is a woman's drink and we should all drink beer. Used to make us run around the school, in the streets, because he couldn't be bothered to do anything else with us.

PE teacher 2: I seem to remember a punishment from him consisting of going to the canteen and getting cheese on toast for him. Very evil man.

PE teacher 3: Was absent from school for many months as he had some heart operation. "You thought I was gone, but I'm still tickin, lads."

And as a bonus, one of our electronics teachers got stressed very easily and when he did his face turned bright red. Also had time off for heart operation. Shouted at someone for not turning off one of the computers in the lab properly, even though it was a old crappy piece of shit and no permanent harm was done.

A final one I've just remembered; one of the dinner ladies couldn't speak Englsh properly. No matter what you asked for, "Chips? You want chips? Chips?"
