Having the stick/dap in school

Re: Having the stick/dap in school

A few have mentioned the rap on the knuckles with a ruler. This was a trademark of, what seemed like at the time, an elderly woman teacher, Miss Williams, in St Alban’s juniors. Not the flat of the ruler, the edge, she’d tell you to put your hand flat on the desk and bring it down hard, leaving a line on your knuckles for the rest of the day. Unbelievable behaviour really for an aged spinster, dear God she had a temper.

What about the Casey sisters, like the 3 witches in Hocus Pocus

I was never in one of their classes but you’re right they were fearsome. I knew you’d remember Miss Williams, they were old weren’t they? Or did they just seem it to us? All spinsters as well, no man could have dealt with them I s’pose.

As I said earlier I detested the man, even though I was never caned by him. He always smelled of a mixture of menthol sweets and cigarette smoke. But it was his horrible teaching methods that will stay with me forever.

I thought Mr Ford, Mr Edmunds, Rocco Richards, Mr Kelly and a few others were excellent teachers by comparison.

Do you remember Tex the automechanic teacher walking around the play ground tapping a steel pipe , I liked Mr Webb PE Teacher and his murder ball moments .

I remember Mr Kavanagh. He was the first to cane me in Llanrumey High or Ball Road as we called it. The twat.

I once saw Kavanagh egged on one of our last day of school riots

I was never taught by Tex but I remember one very hot day when one of the boys fried an egg on the bonnet of his car, a blue Rover I believe. I think he was from Omaha, Nebraska.

I do remember Gwynnie. In fact I was scrolling through a load of ancient school photos online and came upon one with all the Llanrumney H S teachers on. And yes he's on there.

Rocco was a top man,was Mr Kelly the maths teacher.

Rocco gave me shit because i chose to play for the school football team instead of the rugby.He made me do a couple of laps around the field and when i finished he made me do press ups in front of all the boys. Another swine you would not like the dap off.

Indeed she was and yes she did wear short skirts. Some of the lads used to drop pencils on the floor so they could have a good look up her skirt when they picked them up ! M
Ma Jones was my French teacher.
