    he was a maths teacher.

    i was good at maths.

    lets just say; by 6th year he had thought me nothing, i was bad at maths but we had the craic all the day long.


    i still see him the odd time and i bought him a pint ( though in fairness... if i didnt work my own arse off i wouldnt failed the subject... meh its nice to be nice )

    sound enough bloke too.. i mean we could have a laugh, joke, mess or whatever but once it didnt go on to long its easy enough to move along ( unless its seriously funny... then it keeps going )

    All of my teachers I think. I wasn't one for doing much homework (at all) or being the most active person in class but not one of them was generally "mean" to me. Sure, sometimes I'd get out of hand but it was usually if I was either standing up for someone else or because I felt something should be said.

    had an english teacher who was so great we were insipred to set up an anti- establishment poetry club. We also stood on our desks when he got fired.

    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.

    Trent perhaps?

    Best teacher was one that I never actually had, my school would arrange for us to go away for a week or two each year normally just before we went back to school its was normally outdoor pursuits kinda of stuff and he would always act the bollox like make you fall into the water or when you are trying to swim in a lake he would come around in the boat and do circles around you creating waves so making it impossible to swim.

    But I broke my wrist just before doing my LC so I got extra time and had to do my LC in a different exam hall where its was just me and a the same teacher above. He was a Business teacher but not the one I had so long story short I did a lot better in that exam then I should have :D

    Thing is I cant even remember his name now...

    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

    Somebody went to St.Geralds ;)
