Turns out I was kind of oblivious to the goings on in my school.Half of this I've heard about since I left,which has led to people wondering how I didn't notice half of these things.
One of the english teachers had an affair with the head of maths.The head of math's wife also worked in the school,as a history teacher.Apparently she forgave him,but her husband and the english teacher still hung around a lot.
The same english teacher seemed to get around actually.Apparently she dated one of the Irish teachers,a man well into his fifties or sixties,and she's late twenties,early thirties.Then she broke up with him,and he came into the school drunk,shouting that he wanted her to take him back.Our vice principal and the head of maths-remember him?-had to lift him out to his car,and then the VP drove him home.Thing is,I told my mum this recently,and she told me that she doesn't think that's true,as the Irish teacher has a wife,and she doesn't see that he'd ever have done that.
We had a biology teacher who had an emotional breakdown after his wife left him.I think his son might have died/killed himself as well,but I'm not sure of that one.Word was,he regularly got high in school-I got taught by him,and honestly,I could see it-and a load of other stuff,like he would hit students across the back of the head.My brother had him when he was doing his A level biology,and apparantly,all he did was hand them the text book,and say 'I'm not teaching you this year.Read that instead.'
One of the other english teachers,and the one I've already mentioned went to formal-it's just another word for prom-with two students.Both of them were very slutty.Which was kind of weird,because one of them was a mother,and about forty.Still looked good on it though.
Oh,and there were a lot of guys who got caught pleasuring themselves in various places in the school.I swear,half of this I just never heard about,and I don't know how.
And of course,worst of all.We had a guy who organised a bake sale.Every few months.For charity!Can you imagine the horror!?
