How many times were you..

brought up in front of the headmaster/mistress in primary school? Well as a model pupil, I was never sent up. I heard horror stories and the look of fear when walking past the office and seeing some poor child standing outside the masters office waiting. There was a rumour going around at the time that the stapler was used to cut little childrens ears off.

:eek: "He's going to cut Peter's ear off!"

i was sent up to the heads office once and once only ... quite a scary experience

absolutely no idea what i had done wrong, racked my tiny brains all the way up the corridor to his office, seemed to take years to get there

when i got to his office, he welcomes me in with a big smile, closes the door, tosses a rubik's cube at me and asked if it was true that i could solve it:eek:

i've a hatred for mechanical puzzles ever since

LOL!

I was sent once, I can't remember why. All I remember is the fear, the paralising fear of sitting outside the office, feeling all the peoples eyes on me from the opposite classroom which's door was open

"Well are you sorry for what you have done?!"

I was never in trouble in grade school.
Never in middle school.
Never in high school.
Never in my first 2 years of college at home.
But in my first semester of college in California (where I am now), I got in trouble with a friend for breaking curfew (I was in his apartment an hour after I wasn't supposed to be). It really isn't a big deal, as it's a common mistake, but I still felt terrible all the same.
And I have 2 hours of community service to do on Monday... :rolleyes:

In fourth class in 1984 I was told to stand up for the rest of the class with 2 others for talking. The Head Master was a scary basteward and we were ****ting ourselves that he might happen to call by the classroom while we were standing up. After about 5 minutes I just had a feeling he was coming, so I asked to go to the toilets which were in the actual class rooms. In I went and about 3 minutes later I hear the classroom door open and the headmaster come in. He starts shouting at the other two lads and pulls them both out of the room by their locks for a bollocking in his office. aAbout 10 minutes later they came back and 5 minutes after that I came out of the loo and told the teacher I had cramps.

Close one!!

Couldn't believe it when I saw the principal being interviewed on the news about the two kids killed by their mother in Firhouse last year. He was still principal 21 years later!! And he was ancient back in '84!

^ Brilliant, keep them coming, chums.

My mother was a teacher in my primary school so i knew the Headmistress outside of school (teacher coffee meetings). I was still scared of her, a voice to cut your head in half. Kids always came back crying from her office... i was too quiet to get in trouble

:eek: Did you get awful stick from the others in the school? My Mam was sub teacher and she was in for our regular. I was dreading it but after she gave us no homework:D all was well.

gawds,... there's a blast from the past!
I think I spent more time in "the office" than I did in the classroom in secondary school! lol I was not an easy student.
I eventually moved house so that meant moving schools.
But I was told years later that the reason I was put forward two years in the new school (went from 2nd year in first school into the middle of 5th year in the second one), was because the headmaster had said he felt "the classes were'nt challenging me enough" LOL, so I decided I liked him after all.

The only stick i got was because she couldnt teach our class owing to the fact that i was in it... apparently she was the nicest teacher :rolleyes:

...... A few times in secondary school. I think on average around 5 - 10 times a year. I was a good boy, just misunderstood.

Countless times!! They even called in my mother on occassion. I was a really bad, bad example of a pupil.

In Senior Infants (High Babies!) we were playing chasing in the yard, and some gormless idiot fell over my leg. He cut his knee all over the yard. Bleeding like a motherfúcker, you could practically his kneebone, all little pebbles in the cut and all. He was crying so loud.

Anyway, I was sent to the office and got my hide tanned and told I was not allowed into the yard for the next week.

I have never forgiven that fella who fell, the teacher who sent me to the office in the first place, or the headmistress who slapped my bare arse.

Although, I do now have a spanking fetish.

I wouldn't even be able to count how many times I was sent up... think the teachers had it in for me I was made stand in the middle of our hall during luch, stand in corners, outside the door and so on :mad:

It got to a stage that they used to send me up for the most trivial of things. I remember once when the teacher made me stand up and started questioning me about something (can't remember what the topic was) and I thought I had gotten away with it. I sat down and let out a sigh and she roars at me ... "right, up to the principals office"... and I ask what for... "Sighing"...

Principal got so fed up of me going to her office as well, when I would walk in she would say to the class "and what do we say" and the whole class would shout out "Mnarra thú" (sp?, means "shame on you"). Then one day she decides she has enough of me and tells me to go back to my teacher and that I'm not welcome... teacher was furious and made me stand outside the door from then on! At least it was better than standing facing a corner in the principals room!

The funniest for me was when a teacher put his hand on my shoulder. I told him if he ever touched me again I'd knock him the **** out..... I was sent to the office suprisingly. It's wierd in our secondary school there was one principle who would just send you for a wander till the end of the class you were sent out of. He retired and a Hitler type character took over. That was a change

I remember being caught running in the yard during lunch in Drimnagh Castle CBS primary school and beng sent to the wall (this long wall at the side of the ward where messers were sent!). At the end of lunch a teacher told us to go up to Br. Walshs office (school Principal), to get the leather strap! There were about 5 of us frog marched up, it was my first time to "get the leather" and I just got a light wallop, but one poor fu*ker beside me got about 4 extremely hard rasps over his hand with the strap! Then when I went back to the classroom afterwards, every lad in the class was asking me through eye contact alone without a word being spoken "did you get the leather!?!". With a suttle nod of my head, I walked down to my seat listening to whispered gasps of amazement from my classmates as they realised that I had been given "the leather"!

I think its called child abuse now, but it happened every day when I was in primary school!
