Hello My friends,.So let me ask you what is/are the most annoying things in your life. Or can you remember the worst teacher you ever had?so lets have some fun with this. MuchLove,kathy martin

My worst teacher was probably the best one for me. Her father built the school and was named after him. Her name could have been Ms. Razorblades for all I knew or cared. She was old and rough around the edges from the first day I saw her. I was in the sixth grade, looking forward to getting onto junior high without getting in trouble with her but it was not to be. This one morning it snowed and a bunch of us sixth graders where having an honest to goodness snowball fight. Our targets were on the exit stairs' landing. Not a good combination of circumstances. The second my snowball left my hand and fixed into its trajectory, I knew I was in trouble. The door opened just in time to swallow my snowball which slid across the Grade One class room shinny oiled oak floor. In those days, when you got the strap at school, another one was waiting at home. RH

Hey Kathy, Glad to see you back. Worst teacher?? Broke my heart when I was in grade 2, which would have made me about 6 years old. (I was her little darling). We had to use a sharpened pencil when doing our spelling and make sure we missed a line between writing each word. I recall that i was feeling unwell, my pencil was blunt, and I didn't miss a line. In short, my page was a bit of a mess. She took me up to the front of the class, hit me across the back of the legs with a ruler, and told me she never wanted to 'see my face' again. I ran all the way home, so devastated, and then when confronted by my parents, she lied and said it never happened. I'm 45 now and this is my only clear memory of my early school years. Adults who abuse the position of power they hold over young children have a lot to answer for. Not fun at the time, or even funny now. But thought i'd share it anyway. Cheers Lori

HI! I can't really think of the most annoying things in my life(too early) but the worst teacher I had in the small town school I went to was the teacher in High School that would go back to her closet and drink cough syrup. It took some of us awhile to know what was going on. It was one of my favorite subjects (English) but she had a way of ruining it! Thanks alot for the forum!God bless you! Carla

Hey Kathy! happy Halloween! :>) My worst teacher? Was a woman by the name of Mooney. She was old, wrinkled, and off in the head. When one of us kids (I was 8 years old at the time) would get up and try to recite poetry and get confused, or forget the words, she would scream and yell, then go up and start shaking the student, right in front of the other classmates. She would do this all the time, especially if you were trying to do a math problem on the black board. She was mean to all us little kids and how she got by with it is beyond me! I am in my mid 50's and i still remember her to this day. She's probably off somewhere flying around on a broom right now! She was ugly too! :>) Best wishes! Bill
