Fast Times at Tynecastle High

[Herman Boyce]

Used to think my history teacher was funny as fuck but he could flip on an instant and used to go psycho. Thinking back he was probably a bit unhinged like.

Used to wind the class up and have them in stitches then just expect S2 kids focus fully on what he was trying to teach about 10 seconds later when he decided he'd wasted enough of the class dicking about.

Launched a blackboard duster at me once that genuinely missed me by inches. If it had hit me in the puss wouldn't been a broken nose/smashed teeth job.

40. The Royal High School, Edinburgh City (NTLF 51)

It's dropping like a stone in the tables these days btw

I just remembered getting a three match ban for spitting on a cross vs St Kents

Used to teach there - get it right up them

In English my classmate stabbed his mate in the leg with a pen, the pen was proper stuck in his leg. They were good mates. Just did it for banter.

Think he went to jail for a bit (not for that - a few years later)

His surname wasn't Benzies by any chance was it?

My history teacher in S1 was exactly like that, he used to march around the class booting chairs and generally terrifying us all until we got wiser and started getting wide with him.

That's what led to the duster incident in our class, someone pushed him too far and he threw a duster at them.

He was in my year at uni. Was a bit of an oddball but never had him pinned as a deviant.

Aye?  I got on with him really well, I thought he was sound as well.  Used to sit along from me at tynie so would go and speak to him at HT, just a normal young guy who was a bit quiet.

He wasn't actually a full on teacher when I was there he was on placement but somehow was still the one predominantly taking the classes and would be in the changing rooms before etc.  Never suspected a thing until it came out in the papers

My wee pasty white arse from the school changing rooms is probably posted all over some dark web peed forum

Stories of kids that have made Begbie cry or seriously contemplate a career change plz

Were you at the Grammar? There was a history teacher and a French teacher there when I went who got it particularly tight.

The head of music was an alky who and another teacher in the music dept was a dwarf who got locked in her cupboard on an almost weekly basis by her pupils when I was there

Yeah. I know exactly who you mean

You ever have the big Tim CDT teacher? Boy was thick as mince. I took it at standard grade just so I could fuck about and do nothing in his class for 2 years. Failed the exam

It's almost like you didn't realise he was grooming you

Somebody skelped him in the bonce with a malteser once in class and he never even reacted. Some boy.

Front page news at the time, the teachers went around all the shops buying the newspapers so we wouldn't find out, when we had known for months it was going on

I'd take that as a compliment

[Big Physical Acey]

I broke my finger playing with your mum's uncoordinated boobs.

Quite good by your standards.

263rd

I remember there was a class where some wee ned asked what a 'birosexual' was and the teacher grabbed him and pinned him to a table and went 'who wants to show him?'

[Nive la France]

When I was doing my teaching degree I got sent to Castlebrae on placement (3rd worst in the country at the time, 5th worst now I think), when cunts in my class got sent to Dollar Academy, Dunblane, and private schools. One lassie, probably the poshest, got sent to a fucking blind school and got marked against the same criteria I did.

Was raging at the time and get raging every time the league comes out

Mind there was this wee quiet geeky guy who never said a word and we were launching midget gems about the geography class, my mate launched a doubler and they cannoned off this boys skull and he fucking lost the plot big time everyone just sitting looking at each other like /

Nah Mr Robb. He taught my old man too so must've been a fair age.
