What slightly sinister events do you remember from your school days?

Was just randomly thinking about my old school (private all girls) and I remember in assembly the headmistress used to give a run down of all the nasty things some of the girls had been up to that week (not me though, I was a good girl).

One week someone had been busy glueing a rabbits mouth shut in the pet house

The following week a few of the boarders had been into the local village on the rob

Then someone had said to one of the dinner ladies 'my father pays your wages' after some sort of disagreement

Then it was discovered one of the sixth formers had been having it off with the music teacher - not announced in assembly though, of course.

Perhaps someone recognises thes events and went to the same school....

Games mistress who always insisted 'socks on first, knickers on last girls!' It was only later it dawned on me..........

The day a live mouse fell from a ceiling rafter into the changing rooms during PE.

Oh, and the bomb scares, did't realise they were so ubiquitous. Why?

FrannyandZooey · 07/02/2008 18:26

the woodwork teacher (also a scout master) was jailed for sexually assaulting children (this gave me inordinate schadenfreude as I really, really hated him)

and almost worse, we went on a school trip to France with the dodgiest coach driver I have ever met. He stayed in the hotel with us, and was constantly trying to grope us, come into our bedrooms or the bathroom while we were showering. He had clearly chosen this profession so he could get the chance to do these things. We were all about 13. The scariest thing is, as far as I know, none of us ever mentioned it to an adult. It was tacitly assumed we would deal with it ourselves and that it would only lead to trouble (not being believed?) if we said anything

3Ddonut · 07/02/2008 18:36

One of my classmates used to deal Pot and E from his school bag.

The physics teacher used to overtly look down the girls tops.

In primary school, one of the teachers shouted at the new boy and called him 'hideous features' still makes me feel he was canny and everyone used to tease him.

Blandmum · 07/02/2008 18:45

Spotty H, I think ours were triggered by the IRA mainland campaign. Kids from school used to phone in, but the school had to take it seriously

CrushWithEyeliner · 07/02/2008 19:13

I remember something really awful and from my schooldays.

We had a quite severely (obviously apparent to me now) autistic girl in our class who was just bullied mercilessly, the details are really too awful to write down, not by me but I would witness it every day until it just became part of the norm. The teachers blatantly saw what was going on and did nothing, if anything they were impatient and annoyed with her all the time. I have often thought about her over the years and just felt so awful and guilty for not doing something but it is real pack mentality in school.

Other stuff included a PG teacher being purposely bashed into loosing the baby.
A 14 year old classmate who had a baby then got into Crack and just dropped out of life.

Oh really depressing stuff - didn't seem so at the time...

Tutter · 07/02/2008 19:18

there was a craze for 'chicken scratches' - i.e. creating an open sore on your arm by scratching over and over with a fingernail

and then a few of the less sharp kids in my year thought it would be fun to eat watch batteries

art teacher married a sixth former who he got pregnant

lots of inter-staff (awaits correction by pedants) shagging

lovecat · 07/02/2008 19:24

Ours was fairly tame compared with some of these, but:

Middle School -

We had a teacher who would slam boys heads in their desks if they annoyed him

School playing fields backed onto wasteland so MASSES of flashers

Head teacher once gave a whole assembly on the importance of us girls drying between our legs after swimming (wtf?!)

Senior School -

Massive fights on school buses between our school and the one down the road from it

Boy in my year stole the car from the MVE workshop and crashed it into the sports hall

Celing tiles suddenly collapsing onto biggest bitch in the class's head during gym class (we felt it was divine retribution)

Lower school block set on fire during summer holidays - the head seemed far more miffed that whoever had done it had drunk all the communion wine first!

Very scouse teacher with no people skills whatsoever taught a remedial class in a room next to ours - all we ever heard from next door was 'Shurrup! I said shurrup! Shurrup you little gets!' and furniture smashing...

Sex education from nuns

Physics teacher married a sixth-former 2 months after she'd left school

Art teacher playing snooker with fifth-form girls on a field trip used the end of his cue to lift their skirts when they leant over the table (could be school myth, he was still teaching there years later, but he was a pervy sleazebag, so it was easy to believe!)

However, what is beyond doubt, as my sister witnessed it, on a 'retreat' week, her RE teacher had a nervous breakdown, believed he was Jesus and appeared stark naked before them at dinner time, patting them on the heads and saying he loved them all...

louii · 07/02/2008 19:36

God we had a few mad ones, at Primary school, if we had a wobbly tooth and it was annoying us and u couldnt eat etc we used to go to our headteacher who used to pull it out for us, imagine that happening now, lol

At high school we went to visit Flanders and various war sites in France and Belgium, we were around 14 and allowed out to all hours in the pubs, clubs. The teachers would go to whatever pub and tell us not to disturb them.

Oh and we all thought it would be funny to run across a field that had barbed wire round it and signs warning of un-exploded mines

southeastastra · 07/02/2008 19:42

chicked scratches! yes i'd forgotton about them, never did it though.

my school was dead boring compared to all these stories, the boys used to get the slipper from the headmaster that was about it.

lazarou · 07/02/2008 19:49

Never heard of chicken scratches but a load of girls at my school smothered themselves in margarine and sat out in the sun. They were all burnt to buggery.

But how on earth do you play the harp with your breasts MB??

Blandmum · 07/02/2008 20:00

She undid her top and 'strummed' the harp strings with her nipples.

It wasn't a concert performance or anything! She couldn't actually play a tune!

BellaDonna79 · 07/02/2008 20:27

My school was like f**king st trinian's...
Spanish teacher was caught shagging the HEAD GIRL ON HIS DESK (he didn't know the school had been cctv-ed up over the holidays...
The headmistress used to spank the girls if our skirts were too short...
Said headmistress also got blind drunk at our 5th form formal and had to be taken by ambulance to have her stomach pumped
Before doing this she also went around spanking all the rugby team and fashing her suspender belt to them
The amazing geography teacher bought us all a drink in Italy
He later got caught by a pupil having sex with a hooker in our hotel
There was a photo of the headmistress crouching down with her scarlet bra on show AND her skirt was so short you could see the matching undies... It was then blown up and pasted onto every wall and door in the place
The 2 RE teachers having an affair
In the sixth form common room there was a fridge that was filled with cheap booze, teachers must have known...
In brussels at the age of 15 me and my friends played 'the prostitute game' we all stood on corners in the red light district seeing who could get curb crawled first... just die thinking about how stupid that was now
We had a pervy biology teacher who told us how he slept with his gf on a washing machine for extra bounce (vomit)
Same teacher got fired a year later for describing his ideal woman comprising of sixth formers body parts...

At primary school
On a school trip to germany in y4 (aged 9) I shared a room with another 9 y/o and an 8y/o on a complete different floor from any other adults, i used to sit on the window ledge 5 floors up pelting the boys with sweets...
In paris in y5 the deputy headmistress was staying in the room opposite me and two other 10 year olds and every night she had a different man come back with her and she told us not to say anything to out mummies girls!

And I went to exceedingly posh and 'nice' private schools...

BellaDonna79 · 07/02/2008 20:29

this is a bit but I once made out with the 22 year old history teacher on an A level overnight trip...
Knew at least 5 girls in my year who kissed or more 3 differnt male members of staff on school premises/trips

nannyL · 07/02/2008 20:29

lol....

this remind me of what my sisters friend did in the sixth form... around the time when mobile phones were new.... and we didnt have caller id etc

the school field backed onto a few bungalows

it was a lovely summers day and were all having picnics on the field for lunch (as normal)...

her friend called the office on his new mobile and said...

"Hello, Im whoever from 'the bunglows that back onto the school field'.... i thought you should be aware that there is currently a boy masterbating at the bottom of the field by my garden"...

within minutes the head / deputy head and all the senior teachers were rushing onto the school field, (where most of the pupils were innocently having their picnics) having no idea what to do next... (imagine shouting "so admit it who was masterbating" ) before realising it was all normal and there was nothing to do... while my sister and her circle of sixth from friends were in hysterics, knowing why so many teachers had appeared on mass lol

DrNortherner · 07/02/2008 20:32

A male PE liked to get the girls to go to the equipment cupboard with him for a fondle

A geog teacher was selling wobbly eggs to the pupils

One boy was suspended for telling an english teacher she has massive tits then she slapped him - that made the SUn newspaper

monkeytrousers · 07/02/2008 20:33

oh right. i geddit now

Blandmum · 07/02/2008 20:37

Blimy, if she could pick out a tune, you'd all have heard of her by now!

Desiderata · 07/02/2008 20:40

Just what is it with music teachers?

Jennster · 07/02/2008 20:44

Can't believe nobody has mentioned MB's teacher climbing inbetween the floor and the ceiling and being rude to the teacher in the room below. PMSL!

Blandmum · 07/02/2008 20:45

He would make us all sit quietly and listen to his snot rattle when he had a cold!

(you can't make shit like this up!(

Jennster · 07/02/2008 20:47

I'm getting funny looks from dh.
