    The plimsols kids had to wear for PE in schools in England were even more basic than that. Black, with no laces, just a stretchy elastic gusset.

    When I was in junior school, if you didn't have any PE kit, you did the lesson in your underpants and vest.

    Caning was still going on at my school. A bit of bamboo across the arse

    to be fair to teachers, they do have to associate with other people's kids on a daily basis. that's gotta be worth at least a 50% pay rise on what they get now

    yes, but that's not something that's sprung on them once they've taken the job

    I get that too at parents' evening. It seems the more scary you are the more they like you. Or something.

    Uhhhh normal? I mean, teachers are weird because we work with kids and kids are either aholes or germ machines. There are a few terrible teachers at my school but you always have a few rotten ones in the bushel.

    My freshman year of high school, I took advanced geometry. My teacher told us the first day of class that he failed geometry in both high school and college and had wanted to major in theatre. You have no idea how much he integrated "acting" into our classes.

    Ex. When we were learning about SOHCAHTOA, he pretended to stub his toe, then shouted "Ow! I need to soak my toe-a!" It was physically painful.

    We wasted so much paper in that class. When writing proofs for us to copy on the board, he'd stop halfway through and erase it all after realizing he had done it wrong. And because he insisted us using pen (who uses permanent ink in a maths class?!), the bin was always full.

    Half the class dropped out before the first semester.
