Just wondering - (for example someone setting fire to the place or a dodgy teacher)

at my school

Someone got knocked out with a bag after a lad threw it at him and a lad got expelled for hitting a teacher and on my first week at the school , two year 11s had a fight in the school hall.
 
Don't want to set the bar too high but from my wife's point of view - sixteen children and one teacher were shot dead at Dunblane.

Me - I did cause a full on evacuation of 2000 kids due to home economics.

Well inspite of the fact I find it a bit odd that you never come back to contribute further to these threads you keep starting, I will bite ;) At my secondary school, our 3rd/4th year common room, which was on a level a couple of foot lower than the rest of the school, was flooded by a guy in my class that thought it would be fun to pull out the fire hose and switch it on. Yeah, he got expelled for that, given his previous track record.
Later on, when I was in 6th form at same school, some 4th years got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick having watched a program about animal rights and lab testing. They decided to 'liberate' the schools lab rats - all very well meaning, except our lab rats were of the frozen, vacuum packed variety used for Biology lesson dissection classes. So all they achieved was some very soggy sealed plastic bagged rats, that were still very much ex-rats :rolleyes:
 
Once, in morning assembly, my visibly furious headmaster reduced the entire school to howling laughter and tears by demanding to know (and I can accurately quote because even after 40 odd years I have never, ever forgotten this) ...

Right then! Which one of you little bastards curled a turd down on my desk yesterday afternoon?

From the point of view of statistics it is possibly less likely that a school you have attended in the past has not been a subject of Arson, although in the case of a school I attended it was twelve years after I left.

Dodgy teachers ? part time teacher and local Rector

The Reverened Guy Bennett used to be a minor media personality too thought for the day and the like as well as being a Friend of Mohamed Al Fayed

I can remember long before his conviction my sister remarking that the girls regarded him as dodgy I just remember him as being insufferably smug and remember with amusement the day he challenged any one to draw a picture of a Soul where upon some bright spark proceded to draw the bottom of a foot on the blackboard ....
 
Head teacher nicked the minibus fund and legged it with his secretary, got caught and put away for two years.

Geography teacher got captured gunrunning to ETTA, he got put away in Spain.

Pupil got killed on a day trip to France, looked the wrong way crossing the road and hit by a milk truck

Other than trying to set light to one of the ropes in the gym when a kid was climbing up it,having the letterbox cut open by the fire brigade as my head was stuck inside it,no not really.Has anything outrageous happened to you on TP,like posting some pictures up?
 
My friend got sent home and told to come back later - but without his bagpipes!

We were in gym class, a boy was lifting weights unsupervised when he fell over backwards and the bar caught him across the forehead, blood everywhere and we thought he was dead, the gym 'teacher' was eventually found and ambulance called. The boy was ok, the weights were just big enough to keep the bar from crushing his skull. Teacher got a reprimand and life went on...

Actually, the anti-spam gerbil has been working overtime, if you only knew the half of it you would know why this more amusing and currently harmless one has been allowed to hang around and provide us with some fun, and hence finally my post. ;)

Rightly so as surely they should count as some kind of banned weapon under the Geneva convention (ok in small doses in the right circumstances they are ok but the horror of the Northumbrian Smalls may never leave me)

With regard to spam on a forum I run its all generally of four broad types 1, buy vaigra / caillis or whatever 2, Gay Russian Donkey porn 3, ******* fitted kitchens 4, just pointless and bizzare...
 
In 5th form, a chemistry teacher assured a very gifted pupil that the school chemical cupboard did not contain the necessary ingedients to make a "bomb". Said pupil proved him wrong spectacularly.
Also a very lovely and popular school mate was raped and murdered by her stepfather, who then removed her hands and left them where only the forensic examiner found them. :(

Oh!!....and a Geography teacher was fired for bedding a pupil (18 year old...6th form).....they later married and are still together, I believe.

ahh , i like a happy ending
 
Nothing much really happened at my school :(

There was a group of lads in my year, that thought up a diabolical plan one year before we broke up for the Christmas holidays. Over the course of about 3 to 4 days, the 5 lads filled up some tennis ball tins with urine, and kept them stored in the back of one of the equipment cupboards. Our school had really good sports facilities, which included a massive indoor hall which was used for tennis, basket ball, football etc in the winter months. Apparently (I cant verify as i wasnt in the particuar class at the time), when school started again in January, and the first Tennis lessons started again, there was an 'incident' where 2 pupils and a teacher had unfortunately covered a large area of the sports hall floor in rancid wee.
 
One of my contemporaries at school set fire to a gymnasium and sat in a nearby tree, drinking Bacardi as he watched it burn. He was caught and I'm still shocked that as a 17 year old first offender in the libertarian 1970s, he got seven years! :wideyed:

O-Level chemistry saw the catalytic decomposition of ammonia interrupted by a loud bang and glass shards and the bloody Head of the Chemistry Department asking [surprisingly calmly] "Are you alright, gentlemen? You'd better have a private reading period; I'm off to the Royal Free Hospital!!"

I still quite approve of one of my Prep School teachers who didn't come into school one Monday morning ... he'd run off with one of the boy's mothers! :clap:
 
I broke my headmistress toes when I stomped on them as she told me I couldn't go home......I had only arrived......I was 6 at the time.....

1) Blue pills are readily available
(Start a line behind the bike sheds at break time guys (y) )

2) The gay Donkey link not seen that one yet,
Although I have seen Shrek, :D

3) The Kitchen sale are fairly quiet these days,
Well I guess people are not buying kitchens this time of year.

4) Pointless and Bizarre, we call that Out of Focus on TP :D

Back to the plot.
Nothing really springs to mine for school,
Although, there was this one time, at band camp .........................
:D

not a great deal happened at our school - i think the highlight was a fat kid ramming the school bullies head through a class room wall (we were in a school that had been built as a temporary solution about 40 years earlier so it was all stud and plaster board) when he told him he was fat and useless one too many times.

although there was also the occasion on which the CDT master severed two fingers while demonstrating the safe use of a band saw.
 
There was me thinking most members here were adults, seems like my suspicions were right, it's full of schoolkids.:eek:
 
We had a punch up once during a game of chess. I can't remember why now.
 
I nearly didn't bother, because none of these involve arson or murder - but

A large agressive pupil attacked our gym teacher with a cricket bat, and was suitably restrained by two other pupils (who hated the assailant) and beat him to a pulp - much to the relief of the gym teacher.

Two guys decided to let off .22 bullets from a metal pipe on the sports field at lunch time. One got hurt, and was led back through the school with blood splattered shirt where the fragments of casing and bullet had made a mess of him.

The worst one, was when us prefects went down the pub at lunchtime, got rumbled and then got threatened with losing our badges if we went down there again - what do you think happened?:naughty:
 
Our school was the usual mix of teachers bedding pupils (at least 2), teachers bedding teachers (at least 2), a convicted peadeophile teacher (only just convicted mind), one suspected who, allegedly, used to stand under the slatted stairs to watch the girls walk down them....

There was an old RE teacher who was the butt of a lot of peoples jokes who was once locked in a cupboard, and funnier, had a porn mag glued to the ceiling of her classroom. What made it even funnier was she was less than 5ft tall so couldn't reach it, even on a chair or her desk!!
 
:lol: Well regardless of the origins of the thread, I'll play along for the fun of it.
Nothing quite as dramatic as some of the posts above though - in fact, probably pretty normal for the 1980s.

> I wasn't actually there to witness this, but our maths teacher went to get something out of the stock room during a class and left the keys in the outside of the door. Two of the boys closed the door behind her and locked her in for the rest of the lesson . . . she ended up having a nervous breakdown and being off work for about 12 months after that.

> Our woodwork teacher was 'affectionately' known as "Pervy Pete" and it was well known that if you were a girl it wasn't a good idea to stay behind after lessons on your own with him because he'd always find a way to 'accidentally' brush up against you or get inappropriately close. I'm sure that he'd be out of a job and probably sporting a criminal record if he'd been teaching today.

> Our history teacher got suspended for breaking a pupil's nose after flinging a bit heavy text book at him - that one I did actually witness. Blood everywhere!!!

> Oh and @Yv - we had a slightly more successful liberation of the live school hamsters when I was about 15. One of the girls who was really into acting, faked a faint in the front of the class to distract the teacher while two others opened the cage at the back of the class and smuggled the hamsters into their school bags. I say 'slightly more successful' because the hamsters were then released onto the school playing fields and while they may have enjoyed the freedom for a while I suspect that they had a much reduced life expectancy once they were out in the wild!
 
Just remembered another one. At primary school in the early 1970s, in January, the roof blew off one of the classrooms and landed on some of the teachers' cars (only a few drove then).

That livened up a dull day!


Steve.
 
I went to primary school one morning to find that the entire place had been trashed - paint and ink everywhere, most of the furniture broken, windows broken, toilets and basins blocked and flushed repeatedly, books and paperwork sodden and lights broken.
We were all made to stand outside while the police talked to us, then they pulled out the two lads who were covered in paint and ink.
I'm not sure what line of work they went into when older but hope it wasn't crime...
 
Despite the OP's iffy provenence, I'll play as well...

Usual Stuff really - Arson, p**** History Teacher, and the usual set of sadistic old pterodactyls that got their teaching certificate around the same time as getting their demob suit...

We did have a couple of good ones though... the Math's teacher's fiat 500 which was lifted bodily from the carpark by the rugby team and "parked" on top of a brick-box about 5 foot tall with a concrete lid (iirc it was the electricity substation for the school)

Oh - and the games teacher who usually took the "soccer" squad, who had to fill in for the Rugby teacher... silly so and so decided to make the numbers up on the a-team against the school 15 and after the first contact was found face down in the mud with 4 broken ribs and a fractured collar bone.
 
In keeping with the artistic nature of this forum, in an evening or boredom at my boarding school i discovered my arty side and covered the walls / ceiling of one of the loos with quite graphic and nsfw grafitti regarding all the school teachers. After being found out and after a sound thrashing by the head i was suspended and had a week off which was nice :)

Also myself and a friend made up a quite effective mini canon using pipework stolen from the metalwork lab and bullets pinched from the army cadet store. Security was quite lax in those days.

this reminds me - a bunch of us built a potato mortar out of a cast iron drain pipe with a plate soldered over one end, powered with a good squirt of lighter gas, and used it to bombard our head of years greenhouse with 'spud missiles' - unfortunately due to the basic inaccuracy of the device and our having the understanding of aiming usually possessed by a small wombat, this also dropped potatoes over a random pattern accross several of his neighbours gardens and put one throughsome unfortunate chaps window.

We ring leaders got a month off in which to "think about what we'd done" - which we put to good use building a moonshine still ;)
 
Is there anything in the world you actually haven't done Pete?

I need more morphine before coming back in here

many many things - including understanding why a mod would make a post like that
 
It's not under my mod hat. Just seems that you have done a lot of things. Are you actually 205 years old?! Seems like a lot of stuff to have so far fit into your life
 
When I was 13, some lads thought it was funny to put polystyrene balls in the heating ducts so it snowed down the science corridors until it started to melt in the electric elements and caused a fire through the heating system, there was the time that we blew a hole in the football field while making fireworks using a mix of weedkiller, sugar and some other special ingredients (the police got involved so I was disciplined appropriately). We caught out Art teach shagging the cleaner in the cupboard at 7:30 in the morning due to coming in early to do some coursework (they both lost their jobs), a friend fell out of the 3rd floor window while trying to tell the teacher to do do one, another friend caused a compound fracture to his leg while stepping in a hole on the football field without looking, the blood loss was quite amazing to be honest on that one! My maths teach had a nervous breakdown and paused for around 15 minutes staring into space, another teach also had a nervous tick and collapsed for no apparent reason and we caught our friend's mother giving the iT teacher a BJ at home one saturday evening (they were having an affair)

Quite an interesting school it was!
 
to quote del amtri - nothing ever happened, although David tennent was a couple of year above me.
 
Nothing much. School was quite a while ago, and I don't have any particular memories of it.

There were a few dramas when my kids were at school in SA. My wife and a few of the other mums used to run the tuck shop at my daughter's primary school, and were getting ready for morning break when there was a flurry of shots from the street. A gang had held up the bread delivery truck and shot the driver, who staggered into the school bleeding from a couple of wounds. Something similar happened again, about a month later, when the ice cream van was hijacked. The kids - who were probably about 10 at the time - found all of this very exciting. Good old SA...!
 
The year I started senior school (so I would have been 11 or 12 at the time), the fifth form occupied the library in protest over the failings of the teaching staff. They stayed in there for a few days, might have been a week, and made the local papers. My abiding memory is of the deputy head shouting up at the 2nd floor library windows, attempting to persuade them to give it up and the student ringleader emptying their toilet bucket over him.

Our first French teacher was an alcoholic who always needed to get things from her store cupboard during lessons. She tried telling me off once and it was all I could do not to laugh because her eyes were rolling in her head, think she looked everywhere except at me. She didn't come back after one holiday and when they opened her store room it was full of empty bottles, perhaps unsurprisingly.

There was an art teacher who had a nervous breakdown because no one appreciated art in the way he did. Nothing pervy or weird about it, I think he was really passionate about his subject and couldn't accept that the pupils didn't feel the same way and this had gone on for one year too many.

The geography teacher was said to have a wooden leg but didn't.
