canuck_saint Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 put it down to my destin i also remember "budgie" baxter who never did/ lay a finger on any kid in the schoool. IIRC he had a mental breakdown and le$ft teaching after some of the more "boisterious" kids bullied him into a nervous breakdown. its not just the kids who have to put up with abuse.

Carron Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Mr Baxter can still be seen out and about in Perth. Besides History he taught Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_saint Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) "the poor wee soul, hope he recovers soon"when i say bullied, i mean punched and kicked by kids. For every Cowie who may have abused his position, there also seems to be a Budgie who couldnt do their job because of scummy kids who ruined what could have been a decent school.<Edit> WTF is up with the quote function today?History/Latin and Classics IIRC Edited March 10, 2013 by canuck_saint null vier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say but most teachers around that time at grammar were horrible, I got kicked out, no grades/qualifications grrrrrr Fair Maid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazman1977 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I see Ian "flakey" McCubbin mentioned a couple of times in this thread. I had him at the Academy for a couple of years. He's a grade A chate. Apparently he's teaching part time at the grammar now and is still a prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Hogg used to hack like f**k at the Youth Club fitba....there was no holding back!! Did Miss Sherry not become Mrs Thomas and taught English I think?? Aye mind Jock Gray got done for shoplifting fae Tesco....and the next PE everyone brought their kit in in Tesco's bags The other PE teacher was Mr Christie (I think) and could always be talked into just letting us do football, regardless of what we were meant to be doing that session. Mr Nicol the French teacher - overpowering aftershave reek...Granny Fraser the French teacher....sure we thought she was about 80. Sampson the Techie teacher was a tough nut from the old school era Yogi Young the Assistant Rector was actually not a bad lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintollie Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Archie Hogg knew how to break legs but the low body count points to a softer side to the man. Was he not diddling one of the home economics teachers? I think it was Miss Gibbs that became Mrs. Thomas but that was after my time. I'm sure she ran the local Jim Morrison appreciation society and wore dresses that looked like a they were knocked up out of an old pair of floral curtains. She certainly suffered from self inflicted short term memory problems off those cakes. Miss. Sherry was an entirely different shape. Many a game of pocket snooker going on in her class. Jock the cock's Tesco steak pie takeaway pales into insignificance when Millar's literal bawgaggery is the benchmark for creepy teachers http://www.thefreelibrary.com/JAIL+FOR+BIOLOGY+PERV+WHO+ABUSED+GIRLS%3B+Teacher+made+victim+kick+him.-a0128691791 Sair ain like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candalan Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 The High School from 1961 to 65, Hector the rector, I was always in trouble because I wore a blazer that did not have the PHS badge on it. We tore the knickers off a prefect in the guys loo as she followed us in to stop us smoking, and believe it or not I ended up working beside her when I left, and went to work in The Potato Marketing Board, in York Place.

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) English teacher Miss Jolly became Mrs Thomas. She had a superb pair of mams and was also a great teacher.. Gove was simply a sadistic chunt who lost the rag at the slightest thing. Was always fun to get him wound up enough that the big vein in his head started bulging. I swear he was on the edge of a massive coronary more than once. Sampson was my guidance teacher and for 3 years I spent more time with him and Mrs Lennon ( manky green tank top/cardy) than anyone else. Myself and a good few of my contemporaries spend every break standing ootside the staff room for the best part of these three years.. We were the "Conduct sheet brigade" I met Sam about 20 years after I left as he was in a relationship with the mother of someone I worked for. Given the shit I was at school, he was tremendously friendly.A very quiet spoken man but as an adult I found him to be a lovely guy.As for Austin Flynn, just a top guy then and still a top guy now. Shared many a drink with him in the greyfriars and still speak to him regularly on facebook...Oh the memories...

Airchy Hogg was/is "diddling" Miss Bryden of Home Economics infamy. Quite the oddest pairing imaginable from my time at the High. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
