Had a mad art teacher. Had a chair thrown at me once and one time a football sized lump of clay across a classroom square in the chest. Left me gasping.
Cracking fella though. When I balls up my course work he let me sit my exam and come in a hour early everyday to catch up whilst listening to Neil Diamond.

the blackboard rubber seems a popular weapon of choice we had the strap aswell had that a few times we also had the wasp. basically the Pe Teachers knotted string onthe end of his whistle.if you were pyshing about he would sneak up behind and whip right round back of your legs. felt like a stinging wasp hence the name. if its was a bunch of us he would make us all line up. never told parents cause i would have been belted off them aswell
 
worst we had was a wet towel across your bare back by one of the games teachers - nearly brings tears just thinking about it
 
Worst was the upright part of a wooden labstand used by our chemistry teacher. Much worse than a proper cane, and left really deep bruises.

Kills me to say this, me dad was an Evertonian when very young kid.

he went to a game once, ran on the pitch an his teacher saw him.

next day he got the cane, the teacher knocked a bit of sense in him though. He stopped following the sh@te that day
 
One of my customers Joe was a teacher in the 60's and 70's and a scary one by all accounts...he was never a morning person and used to hit pupils for even approaching him in a morning..he used to shout "YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO APPROACH ME IN A MORNING!" and clip them round their heads.

He was also involved in a full brawl with a girl...top dog by the sounds of it and a right little cow.

His stories have me in stiches. :lol:
 
About the norm when I was at school in the 60's, ear twisted on a regular basis, ruler across the knuckles too. All from the same teacher. Absolute academic thug. I was only 7 years old at the time and not that badly behaved. In the last year a couple down the lane who we have become friends with, I found out she was a teacher at my school when I was there, she confirmed that teacher was not the full ticket. Amazing to find out she was one of my teachers, and do remember this young teacher in a little mini skirt, as you do and had a bit of a laugh about it with her. She is nearly 70 now.

Slightly off topic but your story reminds me; I was sitting next to a girl in class looking through a football book when I turned to a page with this pic:

Turns out it really was her dad. He's legendary in Everton football folklore.

As I turned the page she shouted "That's my dad!"
