FabSwingers.com forum: Scariest Teachers

What teacher at school were you scared of?

When I was in secondary school, I once had a Maths teacher named Wilkinson. He was quite obese, tall and I can't remember if he had a Scottish or Welsh accent. Why he scared me was because whenever some other kids were messing about in class, he would shout at them which would make me jump. His shouting was so loud, you could hear him from across the hall in another classroom. I didn't like his shouting with me having Asperger's and sensitive to loud sudden sounds.

I would feel scared of going into the Maths lesson in case he shouted again. When he found out that I was scared of his shouting, he felt really bad so he and some other teachers agreed that I would be in another Maths class from then on until I finished secondary school.

In junior school we had actor philip madoc as a supply teacher,not long after he played the baddie in last of the mohicans. Terrifying! But to be honest he turned out to be a really good teacher.

That was really nice of them.

I was a bit wary of my Junior school head mistress until my mum took her to task over her making a boy stand up in assembly, to tear into him. He was so scared he soiled his pants.

My mum, who never argued with anyone, went straight to her office the next day, and tore a strip off her. I remember my mum saying "I will have you" as her parting line. This was so out of character for my mum, I was shocked to be told.

The headmistress was a matronly woman who strutted around the school, ordering people around and giving children grief.

I heard about teachers throwing board erasers at children; I was in the good kids' class and we never got told off.

At high school our deputy headmistress Miss Moss. She was a short, squat lady who always wore red. You could always see her coming down the corridors! I don't know what it was about her but everyone was shit scared of her!!!!

Slough Windsor ish

Mr Drew!

He taught maths and chemistry, he was a bastard. He was an ex Army Sgt Major and ran his classes like a parade square, screaming and balling at anyone who dared step out of line in his lab.

I remember one lesson one of the boys was messing around at the back of the class and Scooby (ScoobyDrew, gettit?!) launched the wooden board rubber at him from the front of the room, it cracked the lad straight between the eyes and knocked him clean out cold!

There was a big enquirey about it with the governors and he took retirement not long after.

Schools need teachers like him now

A Mrs Rowett.

Yes she really was as awful as her name makes her sound, during our last term at primary school she was visiting us once a week to prepare us for high school. All the other kids were called by there first names were as i alone was called Mr (my last name)

She was under 5 foot but could always without fail find me in a crowd and shriek my name..usually my name and nothing more.

The day i went to pick up my GCSE results she opened them in front of everyone and told me i should be ashamed..a woman who truly deserves the fiery pit.

I started school in 1961 and our headmistress was close to retirement. She was terrifying. She used to tie left handed children's left arm to their side to make them write with their right hand.

The headmaster of my junior school was marvellous in many ways but he caned a boy in front of the whole school for stealing a milky way

. My mum was furious. Years later he got beaten up by someone...I often wonder.

I went to a Catholic secondary school and a lot of the teachers were nuns. One in particular stood out as a nasty vindictive bitch called Sister Regina. No prizes whatsoever for guessing what our nickname for her was

When I was in Junior school,

Mr Muckley. A supply teacher, think Adolph Hitler/Old school army drill sergeant.

T jacket ,12 foot something and used to do a ' maths pop quiz' as fun.

Your name got called and you had to stand up and call out your answer. If you got the question wrong you got the black board rubber thrown at you.

Then at Secondary school a female Geography teacher nicknamed

'Gripper' ( I still don't know the reason behind the nickname) think old cat woman. As her about her cats (she did have a few) and geography lessons went out the window. Perhaps that's why I'm geographically challenged

I'm convinced that,in the old days,some people only went in to the teaching profession for the opportunities to exact violence on the defenceless.We didn't have education,we had beatings.

There is often talk about lack of discipline these days but,I can say my daughter had a shining school/college/university career without anyone ever hitting her whereas I was regularly caned (for smoking mostly) and I left school at 15 with 3 o levels and a distrust of authority figures.

Anyone who ever tells me ''well,I was beaten as a child and it never did me any harm'' gets the reply,'If you have grown up into the sort of person who thinks it's ok to hit children,then I would say it has done you some harm'.

I had a vicious teacher Mr Hetherington who punched a 12 y.o. boy in the bollocks so hard that he had to go to A&E.

Got moved on

Same school, Mr Pilkington, felt up the 12 y.o. girls. Walked through changing rooms when they were getting showered.

Got moved on

The rest were mostly bullies, indifferent or incompetent. Why they ever chose to become teachers I'll never know.
