That thread which desended into a trip down memory lane about school dinners got me thinking. Primary or Secondary school. Which did you prefer? Think I would have to go with Primary School. Secondary school I just dicked about being your typical moaning faced grumpy tennager with an attitude problem. I once got a report from Secondary School from my English teacher which read, in it's entirety, "Drew is lazy and insolent in class". Parents were well chuffed with that one. And he was quite right too. If I'd stuck in at Secondary scholl I could have been a contender. But no, no a sarcastic lazy ****er is what I became in Secondary school.
Thought you were ignoring me like Ciaran, Medro, Dev et al. Can't help yourself sonny can you? Obsessed. Go on post a picture of a dancing cat, I dare you.
I was a brainy wee ****er in Primary, and was too up until second year in Secondary school when I discovered alcohol and girls. All down hill from there on in.
I was a wee **** in Secondary school, such a **** they wouldn't let me back for A-Levels despite not getting worse than a C grade at GCSE. It was an all boys Grammar as well, with priests and **** floating about - not as if I have good memories of getting into the fanny either. Yes, I don't pine for those times at all.
I actually quite liked both allbeit I was pretty rubbish - only got 3 O-levels so consequently spent about 8 years at night school playing catch up. I was always the one with the smart answers and if sarcasm was a subject i'd have got a PHD. Still, most of my best mates are those i was at school with.
I was a **** in secondary. I was once excluded by the head for refusing to pick up someone elses rubbish in the canteen. He then refused to let me back in because I wouldn't look the pathetic **** in the face
I got expelled from Coatbridge College (for a fortnight) cos I got caught nicking the signs off doors and hallways. Dunno why I was doing it. I was busy unscrewing a "Pull" sign aff a door with a penknife when I became aware there was a tutor standing behind me.
Mate of mine was in detention at lunch time and for some unknown reason, he had a screw driver in his bag. Sitting outside the classroom he removed the door handle and ****ed off, thinking he was being clever. Turned out the teacher was claustrophobic and she was found after lunch, sitting on the floor in a cupboard. Can't remember how long they excluded him for but it was rough
One of our teachers caught us palying poker once and there was about 25 quid on the table (in the mid 80s). We all got 3 straps on each hand off the headmistress.
Stole my english teachers anti depressants (was looking for a pen from her pencil case) She freaked out and started blaming some other boy. He was all game for it though so he never grassed me in and they never found them in his bag. Result, MD 1-0 Bitch.
The headmaster at our secondary school was a psycho. When we were in 4th year he gave about 12 of us 6 of the belt for watching a fight in the playground. Lined us all up and went through us one by one. I lost count of the amount of times I got the belt. Once got it for calling one of the teacher's by his first name. Didn't help that we used to have competitions to see who could get belted the most.
I really don't think any form of physical punishment would've made me any less of a ****er towards certain teachers. We had a level system in one of my secondary schools 1) warning 2) Moved seat (was usually skipped) 3) Punny, 300 words. 4) Punny, 1000 words and 5) Sent to head and probably excluded. I once walked into maths and before my second foot hit the classroom floor the teacher just yelled "LEVEL 5, OUT!". I was stoned at the time so it was absolutely hilarious to me. My maths teacher was a total **** though. Still to this day one of the biggest ****s I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. A wannabe weegie **** with a terrible fake accent. His breathe always used to smell like some ****ing rancid roll mix he had for lunch. I'd take great pleasure in knocking that **** out, I really would.
We had a sweep in the last term before O levels. People were deliberately calling the teacher all the names under the sun just to get belted. I am sure that kind of carry on was happening in every school and that's why eventually it got banned. Never mind that the Human Rights people didn't like it - it simply never worked.
