Tales from your school days

    Anybody have any good stories from their school days - playground games, strange punishments, bullying, weird teachers, funny incidents, memorable classmates.

    Had a night of reminiscing with a few friends about some hilarious stuff that happened to us in school - one girl who used to steal fags out of the teacher's bag when their back was turned, or the girl who knocked over all the lockers in the corridor and nearly killed our religion teacher, or another girl who vomited into her friend's locker and the vomit lay there, undiscovered, for two weeks, stinking out the locker area (nobody could figure out where it was coming from).

    So just like to hear any good stories other people might have!

    If you did something wrong the teacher would give you a 2000 word essay entitled "The inside of a golf ball".

    I glued my history teacher to his chair and got suspended for it :)
    Took the door down off the hinges and when he went to get the principal we put it back up to make him look like a looney :)
    He finally came in one day with a stench of whiskey off him and screamed " I CANT TEACH THIS CLASS" and never saw him again lol :)

    We were waiting outside the maths room one day (the teacher was ALWAYS late, not that I'm complaining...) and it was locked. There was a door to the back of the building right next to us, so you could walk around and look in the window. Those windows were always open so you could easily climb through.

    So the entire class went outside and climbed into the class through the windows. We all got our books, pencils, copies everything etc. sat in our assigned seats quietly, looking all eager to learn.

    The teacher comes up to the door, looks through the class to see us there, and tries to open the door with this big confused look on her face. We just sat there in stitches.

    It took her a while to figure out that you could open the door with a key...

    Very easy to do, "I have always imagined that inside a golf ball there is a whole minute world full of miniscule people. It is like a throwback to Germany under Hitler....."

    Then get out your History book and write out the section about Hitler's Germany. No thought needed just pure plageurism!

    Bishop came to see our class before comfirmations. We were all standing in a semi-circle around him. The teacher was sitting down the classroom listening on. The Bishop started asking about the religious aspect of sex.

    Know it all beside me stuck her hand up and filled him in on the physical side of things. Bishop went scarlet and teacher nearly choked herself laughing. This happened in the seventies. Different times.

    It'd be funny if she wasn't heavily pregnant.

    Sorry I tell a lie it the teacher i tripped over wasnt pregnant , the pregnant one just guilt tripped me about the possiblity of her falling over

    I once had this hot history teacher. Buxom blonde, tights, short skirt etc. Anyway one day with the mocks fast apporaching, she offered me grinds after school. I showed up to her office fully ready to learn more about Hitler's expansion motives in Europe during World War 2, and indeed the role Charles Stewart Parnell played in the Land League, but soon discovered she was a nymphomaniac. It was right out of a scene from a porno, and the best two minutes of my life.

    I will always love you Ms.Coxxx

    Haha... Once had almost the same essay to write only it was the inside of a Ping Pong ball... I used a similar method to yours only I pretty much ripped off George Lucas and told an epically abridged version of Star Wars. :pac:

    We were allowed to smoke on our bus, the place was full of drugs and the teachers couldnt give a fcuk.

    One day, either between classes or at break time, I was standing around messing with a friend when another pupil came up behind me and gave me a kick up the arse. It was one of those kicks that goes up between your cheeks and inside your body. He then walked away, thinking he was a real hard man. I went over and pushed him as hard as I possibly could and he landed against the wall.

    I was delighted to have taken the smug smile off of his ugly face until his brother, who was about six feet tall, got up from the radiator he had been sitting on and gave me a punch in the nose.

    My nose started spouting blood and I thought it was broken so I went to the principal to ask if I could go to the doctor. The school sports day was starting after lunch and I was already in my tracksuit. I said to the principal "I think my nose is broken" and he shouted at me "WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR UNIFORM?". I was profoundly moved by his sympathetic reaction.

    I don't know if that's funny or if it was just one in a long line of incidents at school that made me eventually pack it in to do a FAS course when I was sixteen. Happy times.

    Pulled a sickie from school.
    Took my mates Da's car.
    Faked the death of one of my girlfriends relatives to get her out of school.
    The three of us drove to Chicago where I pretend to be Abe Froman 'The Sausage king of Chicago' & got a free lunch in a fine restaurant.
    Drove home but wrecked me mates Da's car.

    I had a great day.

    Didn't end well for me mate though, his Da knocked the bollix out of him and he ended up addicted to meth.

    After Mary was elected for her first term I was about 6, she came to visit our school in Dublin, a modern school.

    For the 10 or so students who forgot their recorder were locked in a class room, we were all on our own for a few hours even during the tour.

    My my how I hope things have changed.

    No, different place. Unless you can describe the teacher: any distinguishable characteristics?

    We used to have a priest as a religion teacher but we just threw stuff at him and took the piss. One day he slammed his hands down on the table and shouted "RIGHT THATS IT" and stormed out of the classroom.
    We thought he was going to get the year head but then we heard a screeh of tyres and his car speeding out of the carpark.
    Never seen him again.

    Someone clogged up the jacks with toilet paper in primary school once,and after a lengthy investigation with no culprit found we were all issued a quota of one square of toilet paper each to take a sh1te.Tough times.
