No violence, but I was regularly accused of doing things that I hadn't done and then lying about it. The injustice still upsets me now!Looking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-86293898806836901062013-02-20T14:30:40.676+00:002013-02-20T14:30:40.676+00:00Yes I remember those days - we had some teachers w...Yes I remember those days - we had some teachers who should have been in some Olympic team as they could turn, aim and throw with unbelievable speed, agility and accuracy. Wasted as teachers!<br /><br />I also remember once doing something wrong in metalwork - I honestly can't remember what but the teacher hit me on the head with a rubber mallet in front of the whole class and called me "a spastic"... The level of hurt that they can do is incredible - I mean that is nearly 40 years ago but I still remember it vividly.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-30497445644968780862013-02-20T14:22:42.785+00:002013-02-20T14:22:42.785+00:00If both your children are of the same opinion abou...If both your children are of the same opinion about this particular teacher then it's unlikely that it's a clash of personalities. Perhaps a word with your son's Head Of Year about the 'cookery' teacher wouldn't go amiss? There's is no excuse for a teacher to be intimidating to students these days. xAkelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-19564324776176349832013-02-20T11:25:10.195+00:002013-02-20T11:25:10.195+00:00I remember a hideous French teacher who, unfortuna...I remember a hideous French teacher who, unfortunately, I also got for German being very like that.

Perhaps he could transfer to another teacher? Or is it just a matter of him toughening up a bit? But boys shouldn't have to "toughen up", that's how emotional repression starts....nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-13805365188053045652013-02-19T19:45:25.000+00:002013-02-19T19:45:25.000+00:00Really sounds an old school one.
