My first RE teacher
She was a nice but orthoritive teacher. Nothing wrong with that.

Now I never witnessed this but I have met many who have , including some girls at the school where my mum works who got kicked out.

According to them, she was very religious/superstisious. A good trick to get out of class was to bring up the subject of the devil and slip in a few mentions off 666 and so on and she'll run in her cupboard, where the kids would promptly lock it (why the hell does she have a bolt on the OUTSIDE of her door I don't know) and run out of the class.

We had her again the year the German exchange students were due to arrive. Thinking It was an apropriate time to teach the meanings of war, we were forced to watch a rather grusome documentary about the nazi's with actual footage of them executing prisnors with nasty close ups of tortured dead bodies.
Lots of the extchange students got beat up that year.
She also made us watch Thread's that year too which gave us nightmares
