Who Was That One Teacher You Hated Most?

Recommended Posts

Never had a huge issue with teachers - probably because my mum was a teacher at the school I went to, and that I never got into too much bother. Most I got in trouble for was wearing my 18 eyelets, steel toe-caped docs.

Although Mrs. Bentley the head of Maths was a bit of a batty old cow, and we did have Mr. Holt who got banged up for child porn.

Mr Banks, French teacher at BCGS.

He was an actor in his spare time but a full time cnut.

I had a mate (Rob) who wore an hearing aid & Rob asked me to repeat something to him that Banks had just said.

Banks asked him to come to the front of the class with his text book.

He then took it off him & smashed him across the head with it - absolutely frightening at the time & a full on assault.

Horrible bastard. 😨

Mr Swinhoe. Baldy headed Welsh French teacher at Hayward Grammar. He had it in for me. I was then a shy quiet type and I tried to understand French grammar but just didn't get it so he'd give me loads of shit. Fancied himself as a ladies man and was always sniffing round the lasses in 6th form. One day I got a piece of chalk, hollowed it out with a compass enough to put a  match in it and then chalked over the end. Cleared all the other pieces of chalk from under the board so he had to use that one. We started the lesson and as it happened one of the girls from 6th form came in so he was being Price Charming. Picked up the chalk and went to write on the board whilst leering at her. The match struck, he gave a big yelp and dropped it, looking a right tit. It was a struggle to keep my face straight but I managed. The twat.

He was in Kes, played the Maths teacher. He only had a small part (ooh er missus). He was in Corrie a few times, was the vicar who married Ken and Dierdre and married another couple (forget who) a few years later at a Wild West themed wedding. He wore a denim shirt, leather waistcoat and shoelace tie and instead of all that "dearly beloved" gubbins he just said "Howdy pardners".

At assembly closest before Remembrance Sunday he used to read out the eulogy to the entire school and it would make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

When I was in the upper 6th I briefly went out with a girl who was into amateur dramatics at Bolton Little Theatre. She once told my about an end of run party where Geoffrey turned up dressed as a woman. Showbiz types, eh?

Have it in the back of my mind that Mr Holt was a pupil same time as me at BCGS. Was a big Wanderers fan, but a little bit of an odd character.

We had a teacher called George Lonsdale at Smithills. Just a massive bully. Physical hurt kids. 

Used to play rugby with us and once punched me in the face. Proper punch. I stamped all over him next opportunity along with 2 others. 

Very strange man.

The same name. He would have been 18 in 1977. Very tall and thin with glasses, a loner at school.

Seems like the same bloke. Loved his cricket. And photos of underage girls.

 

Also Mr.Langtree, massively fat science teacher. Total oddball, couldn't have been less cut out to be a teacher.

at Deane Grammar we had a true loon of a history teacher in Mr Fishwick,he knocked the fuck out of me once in the 4th year. Weird fucker,wore the cape for the added effect. Miss Barber deputy head was fearsome. Mr Warren Bradley,headmaster was an ex DMB,sure he was in their 1958 LOSING cup final side

Ken Eccles was one very hard bastard as was Fred Sharples,both ex army types and tough as nails. Nobody fucked about in their classes

 

Best teachers incidentally were both true Wanderers,Mr Worthington the english teacher and best teacher i've ever met,plus the superb and legendary Fred Tydlesley,who i think is still there running the farm. Fred has actually taught many ex Deane lads how to drive,on the car park after initially,before getting them insured and on the road.

 

Miss Bullions was the wanking tackle for all of Deane Grammar

 

our chemistry teacher Ernie Worthington died on stage at his leaving do,shame nice fella

Does anyone rember Mr Finch( English)

never wore socks. Quite the anarchist in his day

or Mr Grundy ( French) his motto was always “underline and leave a line” ?!

or the Miss Marsh .. she slapped my legs with a ruler coz a couldn’t sew a straight seam

or Mr Richards .. who defended me and told the school bully “ not all the best things come in small packages “

or the tiny little woman who taught english, reddish bob haircut, always wore polo necks

or the Welsh history teacher ( mr howarth??) who was obsessed with Owain Glendower

orvthe headmaster who looked like Ted Heath and got walloped with a snowball

happy days 

Just rembered Mr Bristow

he tied a tic a tape to a football 

Peter lorimer ( lufc) could kick a ball at 70mph

mr bristow challenged A lad called Kevin Hibbert to try it

i recall he wasn’t that far behind but he was a “toffee”

Haha, yes she knew how to frighten us kids.

Saw a tribute to her when she passed away years ago, good memories on that.

Miss Bowyer the music teacher scared me more, she had that shit hot goat beard.

Now you have sent me back in a time warp

 mr Sewell was the headmaster 

miss roper was class 1 (inception class today)

mrs laycock

and mrs rothwell who had a habit of tapping her lips with chalk

if these people only knew how we remember them and what a huge influence they have had our lives

its a shame we can’t tell them how much we have achieved and what simple learning skills they shared with us have since impacted on our lives 

I remember seeing mr worthington at the Reebok some 10-12 years ago

he looked exactly the same as when he was teaching me

my only regret is I never said thank you
