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

[lazarou]

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....

DrNorthener, I remember hearing of a story similar but not locally....

Went to an all girls boarding school, next door to some university halls and would regularly have drunken students hop the wall at night to use our swimming pool.

We would also have random pervs hope the wall and wank at our ground floor dormitory windows (even when curtains were closed).

One of the junior teachers was slightly creepy and abot 7 years after I left he "pleaded guilty at Oxford crown court to 35 charges of indecent assault and gross indecency against 12 children, six boys and six girls, between 1976 and 1989. He denied a further 20 charges, relating to six boys and one girl; the judge ordered these to lie on file; police are continuing with their investigation, and believe he may have had as many as 60 victims."

Is it any wonder me and dh want to home school, I feel sick at some of these stories and only settle myself with the idea that it couldn't happen now, but it does....

Just to put your mind at rest I teach and nothing like this happens where I teach! Trist me, I'd know.

Different times

Well, horrible things obviously are still happening because my friend recently had a letter from her sons primary school telling parents to be vigilant as there has been another attempted abduction.

My mum was telling me the other day, that when she was at high school, if one of the girls messed about in science class, the teacher used to make them sit in front of him with their legs open!!!

true lazerou.
a teacher at DS's school was sent to prison lastyear for abusing young boys in the stationary cupboard.

Chicken scratches??
We called them 99-ers, because you scratched 99 times - obviously.

I'm sure things are a lot different now, but still the occassional thing happens.... despite everyones best intentions, and some of the creepy teachers I knew, will not have retired yet.

The incidents are all a matter of public record. The case was well-publicised and shocking and ENTIRELY preventable.

a girl in art bringing in a photo of her dad (our music teacher) lying naked, drunk on their kitchen floor with his penis in his hand

walking past a physics class and seeing a boy lying with his back on a stool and his legs in the air, having his bottom closely examined by a teacher. his best friend had put a pencil on his chair and dared him to sit on it. he had.

rumours of a 14 yr old girl having an affair with her 50 yr old school bus driver , then her moving in with him right next door to my grandpa when she was 16 and then selling their 'story' of waiting till she was legal (yeah right, what a hero) to the daily record

a very butch history teacher who took the girls for extra fitness training in leisure periods making us march in circles with a meter stick wedged behind our backs and through our arms to make our busts stand proud (?!) - didn't work for me, i should change my name to myboobspointdowntheway

tutter - chicken burns - we had those too...nice

sure there are more...

pmsl at this thread it is bringing back soo many memories i had blocked out, scarred for life by the bloody place!!

Head of music at my school didn't come back one year. Rumour had it he'd been convicted of murder.

The one armed pianist who used to take off her false one and prop it beside the piano before playing the assembly hymns.
The RE teacher who liked to watch the compulsory showers after PE (no shower curtains, clothes or towels allowed) and a long bleak quivering walk between showers and changing rooms.
The music teacher who conducted the orchestra with such reckless enthusiasm she fell backwards off the stage (great moment)
The school nurse who took my pulse by sticking her hands up my knickers.
The Latin teacher with a monkey called Matilda who bit off part of his ear.
The biology teacher who refused to teach evolution or reproduction.
And lots of exciting goings on in stock cupboards...

In year 3, the little girl who died from meningities, and the whole school in mourning. Days prior to her death getting news about her condition worsening. Then the funeral.

When I was in Year 10 there was a weird craze for making ourselves pass out . We would take it in turns to breathe very lightly until we felt dizzy, then cross our arms and face the walll, and two or three other girls would push really hard. It made you faint, and come round after about 10-15 seconds...very very weird and no idea where it started!

I'll say again ... these music teachers are not coming out of this thread too well ..

You're dead right.
Not many stories about English, Maths, Languages teachers.

Bottle,did you go to my school?

We had a bloke break in to our boarding house, steal a girl's dirty lAUNDRY (ALL NAMETAGGED OF COURSE) and then ring up and ask to speak to her whereby he went into great detail about what he was doing with her kinckers.

Our Latin Teacher was a bit of a perve, and used to play 'pocket billiards' in class

Martian,your anecdotes are riveting.

My primary school had one boundary on the street, with a short wall (about waist height on a 6 year old) topped by railings. These railings had ornate pointed tops, which had a cover fixed on after an older girl got one through her chin when she was climbing one day

Every so often along these walls there was a little, think the word might be buttress. Just big enough for one little person to sit astride. One day I (age 6) was sat on one of these, back to the railings. A man on the street grabbed both my arms and pulled them backwards and said he was going to break them. I just laughed, eventually he let go. I never saw who he was.

Having a heavy cold in maths lesson
Age 14 ish

Single sex school

Female maths teacher saying

'oooohh, talcy...don't you feel all sexy when your voice goes deep?'

uh?

Teacher leaning over my desk to look at my maths exercises scratching his chest, while having his t-shirt lifted up (thus baring his chest), and upon realizing another student were staring at him (who wouldnt, it was bizarre) and so asking: Why are you looking, do you think I'm sexy?

(We were 13 year olds)

Rowlers;
English teacher discarded whole of set texts for the year in favour of 'Cold Comfort Farm' which he read aloud with such self absorption he didn't notice people climbing out of the window and down the fire escape. (Moved in with a VIth form girl later that term).
French teacher used to do gymnastics on the front lawn in knee length baggy knickers. Also would grab you and waltz you down the corridor singing Strauss if you didn't look cheerful (she was very nice).
German teacher thought the Nazis had a very good point...

Maths more or less sane except for the usual breakdowns.

One of the boys in my class used to masturbate ALL the time, he used to show us the insides of his pockets, they were brown, yak, one day he peed in the teachers drawer. He was odd.
