"A teacher once put her hands around my throat (it’s against forum rules to write the correct term for this)
I don’t think I’ll ever forget that  "
I had one do that to me in 1st Year high school, I cried.
I’d another do it to me in 5th year high school, I threw him through a wall.
End of my school years  |

Yes, I was seven and had the sneezes, she told me I sounded like a fairy, and that was because every time I sneezed a fairy died. Left me in tears! I had hay fever, and for a while I was convinced I was to blame for the death of many fairies.
Obviously, I now know it’s not true…it’s hiccuping that does it!

It was my first year as well on a school trip. I hadn’t actually done anything wrong. I was just making a joke. It was her last day at the school so I guess she just wanted to go out with a bang.
Jokes on her though. If she’d waited about 10 years I’d have paid her to do it  |

That’s absolutely shocking though  the first one who did it to me did it because I ripped up a punishment exercise. He came into a bike shop I worked in about 8 years later and I threw him out the door maybe not the best thing to do but I settled some demons that day |

Yes. He told me there was no point studying for the credit paper as I’d never manage it.
I spent two years working my arse off to prove him wrong and the best standard grade mark you can get.
On results day I made a comment and he chuckled and said it would have been a failure on his part if I’d got anything less. He pointed out that I did all my own work, studied independently and turned in top work so I should always remember that if I want something then I can do it and I should never let anyone tell me that I can’t.
Bloody played me for two years  I’ve always remembered the faith he had in me though.
Another one told me that black ink smudges less than blue so I’ve always been used black pens. No idea if that’s true or not. |

I think it’s a perfectly acceptable response to an adult man putting his hands on a 12 year old. Most teachers are great but I swear some of them enjoy bullying children. |

I had to give up my A levels for personal reasons, the head of the college said that I probably wouldn’t have passed my English anyway- even though I scored higher on my mock exams than the predicted results for students at our level…went on to get my English Degree. I was accepted on the degree course, based on submitted examples of my work, not on A level results. Can’t tell you how good that made me feel.
I was going through an horrendous time, dealing with things no 16/17 year old should have to, and his response made me doubt myself so much. It took someone on an adult education course to see my potential, and submit my work to a uni professor, to convince me he was wrong. I will always be grateful to them x

We had a couple. PE teachers were the worst for it at my school but the majority were great at their jobs and actually cared about the kids. |

Yes. When I was 9 i was told I'd make a better door than window. Given I was already in the grip of an eating disorder then it really didn't help, because 9 year old me and my classmates took that to mean I was fat.
So yeah. Never forgotten that. |

Told me I was an arse, and I would never amount to anything.
They say there is always one teacher that has influenced you that you’ll never forget. Well, for me it was him.
We had a mutual loathing, but he taught me think for myself, look at both sides of the story and be able to argue for both. He taught me to have confidence in my own intellect and opinions even when others were disparaging, but still be able to respect the opinions of those who disagreed. Lessons that have served me well through my life |

I was told by my French teacher that I would never be good at French and that I was useless....
I told him when we were all joined to Europe in a few years that English would be the No.1 language at the time. Even the "Chinese" were keen on speaking English!
So, I told him it would rather render his job useless cos no one would be interested in speaking French!!!
Not being Xenophobic - don't need to go to France. Nor do I want to. There isn't anything there that I'm interested in.
I was told to get out the room. LOL.
I have 4 cousins who speak it fluently & 1 aunt who did. Not really stuck for translators was I?
Any way, you can take translation books with you & point at sentences. Ai's are getting better with the translation apps. Trust me you can get by if you have to....  |

Not the same but in Primary School there was a female teacher who would get you infront of the class, grab your shoulders & shake you..to shake sense into you..
Your teeth rattled in your head.. |

I had what is know now as dyslexia these days, but back in the 1970's it was known as being stupid or a bit slow, if the teachers were kind about it.
Always remember one teacher telling me I'd get nowhere in life, I would have trouble holding down any job.
But it made me more determined to say fuck em n worked my balls off to prove them wrong.
Now at the age of 56, I have amount other things had a few different business over the years n have a few rental properties n a few other investments I live off n retired 4 years ago, plus I have managed to buy my kids a house aswell.
The school is still there, but all the teachers have moved on or died, so never got the chance to let them know I wasn't a fuck up.
In the long term they did give me the boost I needed to prove everyone wrong, so turned out well for me.

Another one was,

My maths teacher told me them nearly 40 years ago and I still remember them."
The acronym we were taught for that was
Senior Officers Have Curly Auburn Hair Till Old Age.
For me that was over 50 years ago. But, unlike some, I have used them since.
The last time was a month ago when I had to cut plywood to make a new top for our bird feeder. Got the angles just right. |

I have a similar situation. English composition teacher in high school told me I will never amount to anything. That stuck in the back of my mind ever since. I think 2 bachelors degrees and a masters with a very respectable job in a highly competitive field would prove them otherwise.
That teacher can kiss my ass. |

First week at secondary school someone came out with a reply to our English teacher "but that's not fair" his reply "If I can teach you one useful fact to prepare you for your years ahead is LIFE ISN'T FAIR"
Basically it taught me to make my own luck & when the shit hits the fan, most of the time it was down to my choices.
When it was random chance or "the other guy" the best course of action was WTF and give it another go. |

One thing that sticks to mind is when some kids were teasing one another, one teacher said ........
By all means, have fun, make fun, but don't make fun of people for things they can't change, because if it hurts them, they can't do anything about it.
Many adults can learn from this. |

A Physics teacher once told me to come out to the front of the class to assist in s physical demonstration about the laws of momentum. The reason I remember this is that another lad in class, Jake had just wanked my cock under the bench, and made me spunk on the floor. I'm sure the teacher heard me grunt as I shot my load. I'm glad it was winter so had my grey school jumper on which I managed to pull down over my open zip on my trousers. |

I have the greatest respect and admiration for teachers in general. Most do an amazing job under the most difficult circumstances. There will always be the odd one that doesn't but in my opinion it's a very rewarding job but also one of most difficult to do with little respect and appreciation these days not just from kids but form parents too who often think that their child is never in the wring. Just my opinion, I could not do it. And yes, I remember lots of stuff I was taught that shaped me and rather thankful for that. |

My form tutor would tell us little tales to fill gaps. He once told us the time he found a polystyrene dildo on a stand in his jacket pocket at a dinner party. It was the type used to demonstrate how to put on condoms and he had put it in his pocket after a sex education class and forgot about it. I went to a church school and the crowd at the dinner party were all middle class, Christian types. When no one was looking he calmly placed it in the centre of the dinner table. He spent the rest of the night watching the guests all looking at it and ignoring it. They were all too prudish and embarrassed to acknowledge, so everyone there just ignored its existence. He said it was fun seeing how uncomfortable it made everyone.
The guy was a great teacher, loved a joke (as long as you could take it when it come back your way) and was very well respected. Sadly he's not with us these day. |

My misogynistic male A level physics teacher started with 12 girls in the class. First lesson he told us girls don't pass physics as their brains can't cope.
Only 2 of us completed the course the others slowly dropped out due to his comments.
We both passed with good grades. |

My primary school teacher told me on my last day before moving to secondary school that I would always sit at the back and rot.
And that I would never amount to anything.
