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

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

Trevor451 · 24-09-2010 10:30PM

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"

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

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 24-09-2010 10:49PM

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

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.

mink_man · 25-09-2010 12:14AM

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.

Chemistry teacher:

E.g We are all making hydrogen in small flasks, I say I want to put all of it in a big flask and light it, she agrees, hilarity ensues.

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.

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

MultiUmm · 25-09-2010 12:25AM

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.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 25-09-2010 12:32AM

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.

"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.

His nickname wasn't Woody by any chance?

Mr Byrne, St Colmcilles in Swords.

He used to take out a hurley and sliotar when the class wouldn't settle.

He'd then toss the sliotar up in the air and slap it against the back wall of the class.

You could feel the wind of the damn thing as it almost took your head off.

If he was in a good mood, he'd take out a guitar and sing Christy Moore songs though.

Strange thing is, at the time we thought nothing of it really, only looking back now that I realise we were being taught by a mad man

My history teacher was a great laugh. He liked to mess more than his students but still somehow managed to get all the work done. He was really sarcastic too and came out with some great put downs when he had to. History was a class you would nearly look forward to going to.

Your soundest teacher
