I had a maths teacher who stamped on a bee one day for no reason other than it flew through the window into the classroom. He was a man of the cloth as well.

Rob Dickie. Hope he's no descendant of one of our maths teachers. Nasty old fascist, hope he died in agony.

Careful Spart - you don't want to reveal your compassionate side

It was my compassionate side which made me hate him. He used to bully some of the kids who he knew were very passive. I stood up for one of them and he took me to the head master who of course took his side. Schools were always a hot bed of injustice. I did my best to make his life a misery after that, likewise he did with me.

Whilst I have no love for what appears to be today's "soft" approach, it's no doubt that there were some teachers back in my day who were nothing other than sadistic ba5tards.

The problem today is that parents take their kids’ sides against their teachers rather than supporting them. If I had done anything bad at school and my teachers told my parents then I would be in for it. Now the parents will march to the school and have it out with the teacher for daring to criticise their darling.

I agree. If I was in trouble I prayed my dad didn't find out otherwise I'd get another clip round the ear.
