More school memories

I was thinking earlier and chatting to my wife about people that made you cry in school. It was about 7 i think and was trying to do them damn abbacus problems and couldnt do them at all no matter what i tried. Our teacher was the headmasters wife and she was a terror. I went up to get the problems corrected and i hadnt them half done and i started to cry because she was yelling at me. Instead of letting me off she kept shouting "I'll make ya cry".

I think the only thing that made me cry in school was the fact that I wanted to become sexually active and none of the gorgeous girls did !!

Also my Irish teacher was a total fiend, he terrorised us. I literally used to shake for an hour before Irish Class, we all did. I think that was the last time I really felt sick in my stomach ! I just couldn't do Irish !

Then in second year the same teacher, we all prayed we wouldn't get him, arrived in and said " We can go through this next year just like the last year, same atmosphere, or you people can start asking questions, making an effort and doing some work, with no excuses. If you dont undertand something just ASK, dont stay dumb ! "

So we chose the latter option and everyone got one very well. He turned out to be a really sound guy and when I left school I had a pint or two with him and he even bought a few new cars from me !

Still it was the women that broke my heart !

One thing that sticks with me to this days is when I was about 6 a teacher giving out hell to me once because I couldn't read the time off clock faces during a maths class.

Bare in mind I'd only ever had digital watches so I literally couldn't make sense of why at 9.30am for example the hour hand didn't point directly at 9 rather than halfway between 10. Instead of explaining it she just proceeded to give me a bollocking for about 5mins. Didn't cry tho cos even back then I woz ard as nails.

Honestly some of that lot shouldn't be given a job.

Actually that reminds me that when I wenty down with a bunch of mates to join the Sea Scouts, they all lined up, I was last but I couldn't remember my date of birth so they wouldn't let me join !!

B4stards !

Still I felt I had the last laugh as I systematically told all my mates they were "sissies" for being in the scouts ..............."..........who wants to be in the stupid scouts anyway ! "

They all eventually left one by one !

the family moved when i was about 7, so i got a new skool as well.

And the class used to call me a Chulchie even though i had just moved from Swords to clontarf :mad:

Still i could deal with that , come sports time i'd trample at lest 3 people in the Gym or out on GAA training.

I rememberone the lads i went to 2ndary sk00l with had a plan to murder a teacher and use a wheel barrow to dispose of the body... he was sure he wouldn't be convicted as no one like the teacher

The only time i really cried is when 3 bullies decided to give me a beating for showing them up ealier on in the day ... but come 2 days later when they tried again , i broke 2 noses and 1 finger ... i was never touched again

i peed in my pants,then i ran away from my sister and her friend for a whole lunch break because she knew what i had done. then the headmaster caught me, out papers on his back seat and tok me home......i cried.


oh and i was always the smallest in my class, 2 girls in my class decided it would be funny to throw me into the bin....so they did, but i got my own back and told the master.

School memories... Let me see now..
My very first day in Junior Infants I was stung by a wasp.. thats my earliest school memory..
My Senior Infants teacher was a complete space cadet.. She had several nervous breakdowns.. She flung a chair across the room one day and hit my friend in the face.. there was murder over that..
In 4th class I was cought cheating in a spelling test and my mother was called to the school.. I felt like the world was coming to an end.. I was terrified.. The teacher was a b*tch
I generally hated school tbh.. I was never the most popular, I was very close to one girl and the other kids used to call us lesbians :rolleyes: little sh*ts...
I remember one time we did a school concert thingy and part of the performance required us to wear our communion clothes.. And the day of the performance my mother came into my class room after the show and brought me into the toilet to "change" me.. I was mortified.. I never forgave her.. The humility of it everybody else got to stay in there dresses for the day.. But not me... Nooooooooo

I dont look back fondly on my school years at all..

i cried on my first day..My laid back parents forgot to send me to school:rolleyes: , so one day my dad brings me for a walk to this place(i had no idea where we were goin there were no kids around when we got there) and we talk to a lady, then they put me in the classroom to hear a story, then we played with plastacine..everything was fine until I realised my dad wasn't coming back and i got upset..(he wasn't supossed to do that and my mam kicked his ass when he arrived home without me!):o The worst bit was this one kid called me a crybaby, for the next 8 years this was the kid who fell down and howled at every break time and even fell in the lake in the zoo on a tour but they were calling ME a cry baby!!
