    We had a great history teacher who, during Thatcher's régime, while teaching us about Hitler's macho shíte: "you know, like, they were a bunch of fairies, a bit like your wan Thatcher".

    My religion teacher ran off with the priest who used to visit us every couple of weeks. It was all kept hush hush in those days. She left the school and moved off down the country. Move aside Ros na Rún!

    French and English teacher called Whacker, legend he is.

    Also, some kind of civics teacher, she was hot and danced with me at the debs.

    And this other English teacher. Used to sit up on the desks with short skirts on, she's a barrister now.

    "Langer" Maher..a teacher with a colourful past that seemed to involve drinking to excess.
    He was involved in dramatics and had an excellent range of regional accents which he would use to illustrate lessons but could be a violent bastard when the need arose.

    metal work teacher was probly the soundest but he was to unstrict, late for class and thought he was "one of the lads", so we got little done


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia

    My French teacher used to stick up for me against other teachers.

    Or my history teacher who loved Queen Elizabeth and would sing Ticky Tacky in class.

    Or my German teacher; she used to let me eat my lunch in class.

    I remember him ;)

    Geography teacher we had was pretty sound, picked me on the hurling team anyway so I got out of classes a lot. Then there was Bouncer, a 5 foot nothing French teacher with a drink problem, used to come back after a liquid lunch fairly steamed, he leaned against the wall one day but the wall was further away than he thought, bit like Del Boy in that episode of Only Fools and Horses :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,584 ✭✭✭digme


    We had a teacher in the college in cobh called Mr McCarthy he was some laugh,he'd always be asking you for sweets and he was always telling stories.
    He thought me maths :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Bobby, my old history teacher. The endless legendary quotes. The stories he told.

    Great laughs with him. Fun when we were good, but he was very strict when we needed it. He was the kind of teacher if he told the class to shut up, they would instantly.

    He would ask random questions, and if we got them right you were awarded a polo, and if you gave a really good answer you were awarded a coloured polo! If your phone rang, he'd answer it. Some times if it was a really nice day he'd say feck off ye lot and go get some air.

    I miss those days :(

    JJ, an old construction teacher, hated the auld jews, wouldn't be too happy when avram grant was manager of chelsea...also when talking about chambers for a sewerage system, one lad would go, they're the gas chambers ya? and he'd reply, yes yes the gas chambers!!

    Definatley my music teacher she is so sound :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    History teacher.. he was known as Chalkie. Used to wear those fleece jumpers every day and it would usually be covered in dandruff. I reckon he was stone much of the time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Trevor451


    When we were talking about the super volcano at Yellowstone in the US and our geography teacher said that most of the US population would be wiped out if it erupted and he said "would that be a bad thing" :D

    I used to like my English teacher, then he turned out to be a prick. My maths teacher is lovely though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    Ah there was always some teachers that you knew you could easily steer off topic and not have to go through the whole boring 'learning' deal that goes down at schools

    We had a geography teacher that waxed lyrical about the glories of fishing should you mention a trout
    A science teacher who was always "going to buy a computer", you just had to ask him if he had bought it and then there was a 40 minute conversation about which computer would be best
    And an English teacher who was too easily diverted to arguing about whether people really talked like that in Shakespearean times.

    They were all my favourites because even thought they were so easily dragged off topic they were damn good at teaching when they were on topic and you'd tend to listen a bit more


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,102 ✭✭✭Stinicker


    I had two great teachers one was my History teacher and the other was my "Special English" teacher. The first History teacher was great character, he'd really emerge you in History and I really liked him and he could be diverted off topic easily and manys a good conversation I had with him, poor guy died two years ago, RIP :(

    The second guy was more an egit than anything else and I got planked into Honours English (with a tyrant) much against my will so purposely failed a few tests and got downgraded to Special English with a few other retards. He was a grand chap and totally indisciplined.

    One Day a few of us were doing a river dance impression up on the tables and dopey himself cheering us on, anyway the principle walks in and said "What the Hell is going on here?"

    Our Teacher replied "We are having a team building excercise" oh right carry on then! lol! His wife was also another teacher in the school and they were both also French teachers so he would often keep us enthralled with stories of his times in France and driving there. We didn't learn much English but we learnt alot of life lessons and he was the best teacher and the only thing I often had to look forward in school were his classes and he was legendary.

    That kinda reads like James Joyce or some other novelist i can't think of; I'm very drawn to it and have read it quite a few times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man


    the soundest teacher ever we had was the one who always told us to make a joint as soon as we walked in the door...

    "what will we do sir?"

    "make a joint..."

    true story...was quite funny listening to him telling us to make joints...

    of course he thought it was dovetail joints etc we were on about, all added to the craic.

    Any chance you went to St. Davids CBS in Artane?
    Had a great English teacher there by the name of Whacker.

    Teacher in primary who was the loveliest person who ever thought us. She was really more like a friend than a teacher, used to have a "thing" copy where'd we'd write to her on a weekly basis. :)

    Had lots of nice sound teachers in primary, secondary not so much. Only like my history teacher now, the rest can go fly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    My French teacher, he's just a funny cúnt.:D
    He can get thick when he wants to, though, which in reality is a good thing.
