Quote ="Bullpower"Marvelous!
Had a teacher at my school who had worked at a "bad boy" school. You just didn't mess about in his Physics lessons - that aside he was a tremendous bloke.
Last I heard they'd decided he "didn't fit in with modern schooling methods" . . . . which is a bloody shame because he helped a stack of kids sort themselves out and become better citizens. A good leathering never did me any harm, never did me any harm
Wherever you are now Mr A, I hope you know how many kids you truly helped and how many now appreciate what you taught us all.'"
Interestingly, the physics teacher at my High School was a similar type. Big chap, superb teacher and the only guy I knew who could make physics interesting to me (at least in chemistry you could make a load of mischief, and in biology put the skeleton in erotic poses and fire maggots out of the gas taps. All you could do in physics was plug everything into everything else in the power packs and watch them melt...). Anyway, I remember once three of the school yobbery doing something wrong, and disappearing over to the bushes other side of the playing field. Said teacher stormed over, and dragged two back by their ears and the third by his tie - all by himself. I kid you not!
So I'll echo your thoughts but in my case for "Bingo" - Mr K.
