Carron Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Miss Munro (Maths teacher at Perth Grammar). Great teacher, easy going and a good laugh. One day she was off and Mr Murray (head of maths) who looked about 900 years old was teaching us. Two boys were carrying on, and he called them out to the front, and told them to wait. He returned with his belt, gently placed the belt on their outstretched hands and asked if had hurt them. They said it hadnt. He then belted the teachers desk and asked if this would hurt. They both said it would. He told them to sit down and the lesson continued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carron Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Mr Mears (Perth Grammar). Brilliant maths teacher. He was marking exam papers and burst out laughing and went and wrote this on the blackboard "PHARCOSINE". This was someones attempt at Farquharson. Anyone know where Mr Mears is these days. Reckon he will be retired now. Mr Farquharson was heavily involved with Scone Thistle outside of school. Sadly no longer with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazman1977 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Perth Academy Mr Munro - PE Teacher -Also coach for Perthshire RFC. Good guy as long as you played ruggers. Liked the women Dave Ramsey - Maths Teacher - Absolute genuise and great guy as well Miss Taylor - French teacher (and deputy head) - Miss Jean Brodie but far worse Mr McCorkandale - Rector - Ruled with an iron rod. His favourite teaching tool wa sthe leather belt. We got him once to teach us when the teacher was off sick - brilliant man but of a different generation. Ned Hunter - PE Teacher - Evil and horrible little man. Dr Russell - French Teacher - Kilted to the hilt, arrogant tw@t. Dr Leibsher - The Nutty Professor must have been named after this man Dr Russell was my French teacher. Strange guy, always kilted and very arrogant. I think he ran for local council after he retired. Mr Munro was quite old when I started at the Academy (started '89, left end of 6th year summer of '95) and I think he retired 1990. Good guy but definitely rugby orientated so fitted in at that school. McCorkandale had retired by then. We were treated to Mr Waite who did **** all but sit in his office. Also known as "Terry Waite" cos no-one had seen him in 6 years, or "Badger" on account of his two-tone hair and that he only came out at night!

SingaporeSaint Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 i have had no education and i guess i never wanted one Andy, just a different education. Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of guys I know are far more wealthier and successful than me. Takes balls and attitude to do it though out with the mainstream education system.

Carron Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Mrs Davidson. Had her for art at primary school. Most of us were no good at art. However we did learn basics, such as people having feet, not wheels. In a picture nobody is floating in mid air. People do not stand with their feet at "quarter to three", if they did it would be entertaining to see them walk. We were not to draw people with a circle for a head, a rectangle for a body, legs which looked like table legs and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwinnochsaintee Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Bandy was a she, deffo maths but not sure if she was head of department. If I remember she was deputy head but became head of dept soon after the amalgamation with Goodlyburn in 1971 at the changeover to comprehensive education. Her boss, Mr Maltman, was promoted to either deputy or assistant rector but still had some teaching responsibilities, he taught me SYS; I left in 1972.

candalan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I left Perth in 1966, ffs is it that long, having being educated(?) at Caledonian Road, then Goodlyburn primary, then Perth High School. I have few memories left apart from Caledonian rd. a Mrs Ditchburn who terrified the life out of me, then Goodlyburn, whose Headmaster was a Mr Miller, and then PHS who had Hector the rector, who I had many run-ins with. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_blue Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I remember getting the belt for the first time in primary 5 when we moved to Greenock. The reason was that I was giggling. Reason for giggles was that I'd only heard weegie accents on the TV and here was a whole class talking with this accent. Found it funny and when asked why I was laughing had the sense not to tell the truth or I'd have got a kicking. Better the belt I reckoned. The teacher's name appropriately was Miss d*** !

Then Goodlyburn had a roll of about 600, probably a lot less now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also worked the other way, anyone moving to Perth from the west could be ridiculed, and not just by the pupils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The belt is something that was wrong. Shame on those that administered it and enjoyed doing it. Jeez, it was too really young kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Maid Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well, I was never belted at school as I was a pretty good kid. Just got smacked over the bare a**e in P1 by a Mrs McDougall for forcing a desk lid down on a boy's head. Promptly pissed all over her lap as soon as she started. Served her right. To this day, I can still recall images of steam rising from my pissy navy blue knickers as they dried on the class radiator. Should have shat on her.
