Orraloon Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I had a teacher at Dumbarton Academy in the 80s called Robertson (can't remember his first name) who was an utter khunt of a man. He was a Tory councillor as well and I remember a few years later him appearing on telly being interviewed having been punted from his seat and he was almost greeting. Arrogant, smug, petulant bully who thought nothing of skelping kids with his wooden blackboard pointer or verbally humiliating them. We had a physics teacher who would throw blackboard dusters at kids who answered questions wrong. Not just cloth dusters, these were those ones with big lumps of wood attached. The kids who were clever enough to know the answers or fast enough to dodge the dusters turned out better than the ones who got the dusters between the eyes (not sure why?). Evolution in action.

wanderer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 While back at my pipe band we were talking about teachers from the 90's and there was a general pattern..... First you had the old female battle axes left over from the 60's and 70's who could bring Simon Cowel to the state of crying like a baby.... The male version of these were guys a few years from retirement who had stopped caring and their idea of a class was to wheel in the tv for a video or just sit at the back of the class talking football, so very few folk would miss their class..... At Largs academy this was Gentle Ben the Geography teacher. Then you had the ones in their 40's who either, 1) hated their job with a passion (usually PE teachers) Or 2) tried to be down with the kids.... These were usually male English, Science or Technological Study teachers..... Hippy Art teachers who's idea of a class was dish out the pencils and paper and let us draw for a whole hour while listening to radio one. And finally the young fresh out of uni teachers who if they were male would let you away with murder (our English teacher for a Friday afternoon class would just take us to the common room to play Goldeneye on the Playstation) or the female teacher who the boys would lust over or the girls would say was a total tramp (at Largs this was definitely a certain History teacher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 or the teacher who the boys would lust over or the girls would say was a total tramp (at Largs this was definitely a certain History teacher) I had a teacher like that, who was also a History teacher funnily enough. His name was Mr. Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Mind our geography teacher who was a good laugh got into trouble when one of the boys complained because he wrote "oops I've missed again" on their book covered with a celtic player. Guy was a saint compared to the teacher in this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was a saint compared to the teacher in this story. We had a Maths teacher who used to plaster the walls with football programs of his room.... Mostly Scotland ones, but he positioned a couple of Rangers ones right at the front of the room for everyone to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allyc Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 We had an art teacher who we nick named "nobby naughton" cos he would constantly rest his genitals and penis on the corner of the table.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 We had a history teacher at Dalkeith High called Mr James, who was also the provost of Dunbar. He had a poster of Jesse James on his wall, and needless to say that was his nickname. He wore the old black robes with huge, long pockets. In the pockets he kept tennis balls and would smash them off the head of any pupil passing by. Having said that the pupils thought he was great and it never appeared to me to be malicious. Every pupil who attended Dalkeith before 1982 will remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunchy Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Never had him as a teacher, but until you mentioned he was a Tory counciler I thought you were going on about another Maths teacher LOL Mrs Wark would say that guy was holding back LOL Takes some beating Mr Graham..... Bringing a bomb into class one day (when he was a history teacher).... Then quiting as head of the history department and becoming a RE teacher after saying he saw Jesus down the beach one day.... Lol ye bet Mrs wark isn't so cocky now after her son was asked to leave teaching. Would love to bump into him again after the shit he put me through at school. Was Mr Graham the big quiet one from WK? Got 2 in my head but not sure which one which. I'll stick with my memories of Miss Lusk thank you very muchYou missed the maths teacher we had. Can't remember her name but she left when I was in 2 and year as she was getting married to the son of the owner of something like debenhams. She used to love coming to the front of your desk when you had a question and then bend over so she could read your page. Needless to say plenty of the guys had lots of trouble with maths when she was taking it lol Edited March 3, 2015 by hunchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Stapes, best teacher I ever had was really strict, old fashioned lady who always wore her long black cloak. Always told us to put our paws up, thought if us as small animals. Had a test every Friday and next class we were put in order of our marks, top went to front of class and worked down to back of class, even nutters wanted to be near the front. She taught classical studies and Latin and because of her teaching and passion for her subject I carried on with both subjects. She was never our friend just a really good teacher.

Would love to bump into him again after the shit he put me through at school. Was Mr Graham the big quiet one from WK? Got 2 in my head but not sure which one which. He lived in a flat across the road from me in West Kilbride with his dad for years..... He was alright, but we all suspected he would get into trouble for what he did as he tried far to hard to be "down with the kids".... He also tagged along with us when we went to Fiddlers after our 6th year leaving doo at Inverclyde. Aye, Mr Graham was the one from West Kilbride who drove around in a tiny white Fiat Car. Do you remember the (aledged) tranny maths teacher who drove to school in a Volvo and keep a massive German shephard locked up in the boot in tbe car park during the day?

Ye don't think he did anything as such just made excuses to go in there and get a look. Had a tech teacher from WK that hated me. When I got hit on the head with a mallet or got put in the wood store he would blame me he made me do pointless drawings for my project and generally put me down at every opportunity even told me I would never work in anything technical lol. Once I started drinking in the Inverclyde it took a while to realise that his son was one of the folk I was drinking with and had slagged him off many times to him. To be fair to his son he did say his dad could be an arse at times lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two I recall was the small hobbit one with the beard who was pretty cool (we had a class exam one day and he said he was popping out to make a 30 minute phone call, and had left the answers on his desk LOL)..... We got him into Oasis one day. Other one was a bit of a d*ck..... Tall quiet guy who just came across as moody all the time and very unapproachable.....

jock strap Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Had a mad science teacher who would have about 6 wooden rulers tied around one end with elastic bands and rap the knuckles of pupils ( ME ) without warning for farting about. Couldna stand him. Had a history teacher who was usually stoned but was quality Met my old assistant rector one day walking past the Seamill Hydro in Slatcoats, think he sh1t himself more than me. Weekly visits to him and he would bollock me to the point he would struggle for breath. i had a knack for sitting completely silent with a stupid wee grin on ma melt. He laughed at the old days and said he actually liked me but my cheekiness drove him daft. Seen another side to him, almost human like I was quite weird, I actually enjoyed school. Always a laugh and a prank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
