Grumpy Old Schooldays
Discussion
Anyone watching this? BBC2 now.
I only left 8 years ago (and am now a teacher!) but oddly recognise quite a bit. E.g. the stereotypes of the dodgy P.E teachers. We had communal showers in 2002 - yet they seem to have disappeared from schools now? Or at least they have in the one I teach in. Kids simply don't shower.
The grumpy, plodding lecture voices are hilarious too. Everyone remembers an old school teacher like that. Ofsted would crucify them for just standing there talking now!

We had the "wet test" after PE.
Got kicked in the nuts by the drama teacher for walking on the grass.
"Found" a load of new pornos and sold them at school, until they were confiscated by a teacher. (wet test teacher strangely)
Nicked the deputy heads Mini.
Banned from every Science practical.
Eta. Got the pole that's used in the high jump (the bar you go over) thrown at my head and it chopped my ear in half. Got a round scare now.
Happy days.

Aye, watched this programme... got very pissed off. I hated every single damn moment I spent at school - my parents insisted I attended a series of strict Roman Catholic hell-holes; they wanted me to be a priest.
Oh, the irony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhWfkOF01GY

ds. Every single teacher I endured was a total b
d.
I'd enjoy attending a reunion though... as I'm a rather large chap, payback would be satisfying.
