Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
I seriously believe mine did. Not in a violent way, just strange.

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
I had a few. One got sectioned. One had a severe mental breakdown. Both of those guys were Science teachers.
My form tutor, while not having a mental problem, was always an odd lady. I found out the other day that she has moved to Australia, become a lesbian and a fundamental Christian. |

Majority were a little off at my school. One accused me of pushing someone in front of a bus I didn't by the way haha. But God she caused a scene the mad woman.
My old English teacher collected chocolate wrappers in a book... when I tried to have a look at the front of the book she went mental and snatched it off me and put a label over whatever was on the front. |

My physics teacher wore a star made of tinfoil on a necklace to protect him from ghosts.

My RE teacher was a bit odd.
One day he got out his guitar randomly and started singing! Another day he spent the lesson beating his chest and yelling 'MEA CULPA! He only lasted a year at the school. |

I'm sure being a teacher spawns mental health problems or aggravates them.

Not as far as I know, but a few were pretty unpleasant. The headmaster liked a drink and seemed to be permanently banned from driving

We had some serious psychos. On the other hand, those who weren't mad and showed any weakness were bullied mercilessly by the pupils. Happiest days of your life apparently.

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
Sadly, one of my old teachers committed suicide a few years ago, apparently he'd suffered from really severe depression for years, but at school I remember him as being generally quite chipper and a really good teacher. Then again, teaching for 20 years or so at my old school is probably enough to make anyone depressed.

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
Oohhhh yes. A couple of alcoholics, some with anger issues and several other things I can't seem to remember now, (it's a long time since I was at school).

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
I had this one really lovely teacher in high school, I remember he was a bit shy too. I heard a few years ago that he was off sick because he had a nervous breakdown. Still I guess I dont't blame him being a secondary teacher and all. I feel sorry for them all thinking what they had to put up with, even if I thought they were twats at the time!

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
My class teacher was on the whole a nice guy, but did some strange things. I won't actually say what as last time I posted one of them, someone here said "are you sure you didn't imagine that ?"
Thinking back he may have had a thing for me if you know what I mean. |

I agree though, teachers are given a bad rap, but there's always at least one teacher in every school who hates kids and nobody has a clue why on earth they went into teaching |

I used to watch schools tv in my late teens early 20s (nothing else to do). It was full of pro Europe and ultra PC stuff.

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
As far as my expereince at secondary school goes it was mostly just a case of babysitting the kids, hardly any teaching went on. I think I forgot more than I learnt. There were a lot of troubled teachers, I went to an inner city state school in London so you can imagine how hard it was for a lot of them but one or two were just bonkers in general I think. We had supply teachers coming in constantly cos of all the regular teachers having break-downs or whatever. Even the first 6th form college I went to was full of hooligans so plenty of teachers had breakdowns there too, mind you so did I.

Just remembered a music teacher who had a meltdown and threw a chair at a pupil and was on leave for a while after. We met him in a country pub a few years later (after the school had been bulldozed) and he was really friendly and good-humoured, clearly transformed by leaving the profession. |

Re: Did any of your teachers have mental problems ?
There were a few odd balls definately. I don't know if any of them were actually ill but it's understandable if they were given the nature of the job.
There was a teacher at my sisters school who killed his wife who was also a teacher at the school who was sleeping with another teacher at the school who was never seen again afterwards. Quote:
