Oddities

posted under by Andrew Hart
In my last post i promised i would tell you about the wacky people in school over the years which includes (and mainly focusses on) teachers aswell as pupils.

So, lets start in middle school with Mr Pratt. This was a PE/Geography teacher who basically didn't like anyone who wasn't good at PE so he just picked on you in Geography for things. I remember once he hit me on the head with a book. The last i heard of him he got sacked for chucking something at a year 8.

Over to a pupil now and we had Jamie in year 7. Jamie is one of the weirdest people i ever knew. On her first day, she announced to everyone that she was a witch. Everyone thought she was just having a (weird) laugh but then we realised she was actually serious when she started sitting in the corner of the classroom drawing pictures and saying "I am casting spells on you!". After a few weeks of unpopularity (she was just advertising herself as a freak) she left the school and upon her exit she said "I have cast spells on ALL of you!!"

So those were the only oddities in the middle school so now onto the high school.

Mrs Waite - She was the french teacher and seemed to have a nervous breakdown every lesson. At one point she instantly decided she didn't like someone called Jacob for whatever reason (he wasn't a trouble maker or anything) and then she kept sending him out for no reason every lesson and then i remember him getting sent out one time and Mrs Waite got one of the other teachers and went "I don't know whats wrong with him, hes just went off the rails lately!". One time in her class it was red nose day so before we went in we told eachother to pretend we were doing a sponsored silence and we got this girl to be the only one talking. So we went through the lesson not talking and she tried to come up with activities we could do in french which didn't involve talking. As the lesson went on, people kept forgetting and talking by accident and then she said "Ok, i'll ask again, who is not doing the sponsored silence." and everyone put their hand up. Her face was a PICTURE! So then after a few months of her being there, we were in a Spanish lesson 2 classrooms down the hall and we could all hear her shouting at her class and going bezerk. This was the talk of the school for a week and apparently she called somebody a slut and then sent the entire class out and screamed and shouted at them about practically nothing. She was supposed to leave at the end of that year anyway but she quit early.

Andrew - This other person called Andrew in our year just boasted about having lots of stuff which he didn't have and told unnessacery lies about everything. Basically, if you had climbed everest, he had done it quicker (although he couldn't cause he was fat). He also made friends with people and then went to other people and made fun of them infront of them and then done the same to that person. He ended up with no friends and having his nickname being "Donut".

Mr Mcpherson - He basically just let the chavs in our business studies class get away with everything and since i was a person who wasn't perfect all the time and i wasn't really bad and could be handled easily, he took it all out on me. If i complained or spoke when he was speaking or swore (i dont swear badly in lessons, just the occasional "shit" maybe). However, the chavs in the class set fire to deodorant cans, played music loudly on their phones, listened to ipods, brought their phones rechargers to school so they could plug them in in his lesson and recharge them, swore quite a lot, refused to follow orders etc. He didn't do a thing about it. I remember 1 incident where Evan tore up a sheet about something and then he blamed it on me even though other people told him it was evan (evan sat next to me and put it on the floor underneath me). So then he kept me in detention and sent a letter home about it. I got banned from doing what i wanted for a week. Worst thing of all - it was on my birthday.

Then theres the typical people such as the overly camp guy, the overly smily guy, the overly swotty guy/girl and the overly chavvy girl (most likely expelled by now) which every school has.


So, back to today. The gardener came (how the hell can they afford a gardnener) and left the gate open so the dogs escaped for about 2-4 minutse before neighbors brought them back when they were running riot round their garden. The thing is though they have a male dog which still has his (to be quite blunt) balls and Molly (one of our dogs) is in-season. Dum dum duuuuumm!!

In other news, Liam won £100,000 on Big Brother yesterday and he was my favorite (and still is) so I'm pleased with that. Also, i completed Half Life 2 the other day on hard mode. I completed it on easy mode about a year and a half ago.
