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....

I can't remember much.

The history teacher had an affair with the french teacher and his xwife (drama teacher) committed suicide

Loads of pregnancies

Our class walked out of maths because the teacher hit some of the boys -then we refused to go back til we got a new teacher.

Not sinister, but a bit bizarre and quite sad - spinster physics teacher (in her 50s) went on a holiday over Xmas one year and met a man (or a woman, who knows) and came back all happy. She then went a little doolally and started decorating the lab - we came in one day to find toast racks and ladles nailed up on the walls, and various words made from Habitat bags ("bit, "Bat, Habit" pinned up all around, plus a bit of wallpaper here and there. She was then on sabbatical for a bit and came back part time, I think. I still wonder about that - did her chance of romance turn sour? Was she so consumed with longing for a domestic life that she wanted to look at kitchen implements all day? Or was she going to get married, and they were wedding gifts? She was rather sweet and I always felt for her, even though it was pretty hilarious at the time.

There was a rumour that our History teacher's ever-present thermos flask contained vodka, she would swig from it constantly during lessons. TBH her lessons were so deadly dull that we could all have done with a bit of booze to help us through.

We were stopped from going on exeat weekends with day pupils because we often met boys who would come looking for us at school. Two friends and I once had to stand in a dark corridor until midnight one night as we had been caught talking to boys on the hockey pitch. All the other girls had to file past us on the way to bed - this was supposed to make us feel ashamed but in actual fact a lot of smirking went on and we gained kudos

One girl in the year above me had a miscarriage during her GCSE's she was rushed off from school in an ambulance.

There was a rumour that the music teacher (agree it always seems to be a music teacher!) had a criminal conviction for something dodgy but I can't for the life of me remember what it was [vague]

Not very exciting compared to some - obviously a very tame school.

I've only read the first 3 posts and already need a Tena Lady

has ANYONE beat MB????

French teacher hung on a coat hook in the cloakroom by his Y-fronts by enormous fifth years.
Art teacher took A-level class sketching on the beach then went off to the pub, then drove us home half p*ed..
And many more....

Blimey, there's alot!

All I can think of is one girl who hung herself in the school toilets after school

Not school related, but where I used to go and horse ride (it was an organisation like Scouts or something, but with horses) I found out years and years later the man running it had been molesting and raping the girls there. Apparently he wasn't even allowed to be working with children, no idea how he slipped through the net. I remember now girls suddenly leaving, but thought nothing of it at the time. I am so so grateful my best friend and I stuck together like glue - I was there for about 6 odd years.

Our school was pretty tame, one pregnancy which was a total shocker and a real buzz for the school (convent), and I remember we had the BEST physics teacher who was thinking about leaving, but there was such a campain by students and teachers he said he'd stay if he could bring his puppy into school - everytime I saw him walk the puppy round the school grounds I thought he was such a rebel!

The headmistress of my primary school was an alcoholic who bread alsatians. She lived in a house next door to the school and kept the dogs in the back garden. I was terrified of the bitches when they had just had puppies. We were allowed to take the puppies out at lunchtime to get them used to cars(I was about 7 at the time). I think we were supposed to sit by the road until 5 cars had gone by, but it was a very quiet road and that could take a long time, long after lunchtime had ended. But no problem! She also kept a horse called Persephone on the School field.

I did nothing at school for about a year and it took me a while to catch up when she was finally sacked and I moved schools.

I remember finding a letter in my bag. It had been written backwards, and when I finally deciphered it, the person had written about how miserable they were and how they wanted to go and live with the school nurse

I told one of my friends and we took it to the nurse. She asked me if I had shown it to anyone else and then she said she knew who had written it and not to mention it to anyone else. I don't know how it got in my bag, or why.

When I was 13, someone in my class wrote an obscene note in weather symbol substitution code in a Geography lesson. She unwisely left it in her exercise book. The following lesson, the teacher told us that she'd found it and that her husband who worked for MI5 had decoded it. She then proceeded to read it out to us. I'm sure I wasn't the only girl wondering what the heck a vibrator was.

At my (convent girls) school we had a Nun Teacher who would turn up drunk in our lessons and we'd do nothing but chat. Also she (allegedly while drunk) slipped and broke her leg.

We had a chemistry teacher who told us to call him "Uncle Neil" and a rumour went around that he fondled someone's breasts!
He also was known for "liking" the girls and i kept well away from him (well as much as i could, he was my form tutor!)

Also when some of the girls went away to amsterdam, he allowed them (aged 13 and 14) to smoke weed! some of them brought some back!

my geography teacher had a strap called "fred" and regularly threw board dusters and chalk with great aim.

german teacher stood on the kids toes - big fat man - v. clever if you think about it - it could be an accident.

had teachers reach across me from behind and either try to look down my top or "accidentlally" brush passed me.

Hallgarda.....!!!!!!

Tigerfeet - reminded me of a school trip we went on to London> Went back to digs early as friend was sick and our punishment was to stay in our rooms (opposite each other)
Teachers furious when they came up to check on us and whole corridor was having a party with Kim and I enjoying it from our doorways (but still in our rooms! )
Also remember a trip to Belgium where we arrived about 6pm. Teachers just said "right, stay in your rooms until morning" and then went to the pub across the road and got hammered. So hammered they had no idea (or ignored the fact) that we were all in the pub next door...

Ezrasmummy.... are you from Croydon by any chance?
