    This post has been influenced by kind comments from SBRed48 on Tykes Mad.
    I attended Dodworth Green Road Primary School in the 1960's, until it closed and we were moved to the newly built one near Brooklands in 1969. We had a teacher in the first year called Miss Rose. Although extremely short physically, she inspired respect and a certain level of fear. Her 'ability' to accurately throw one of the old wooden blackboard rubbers at any miscreants in her class was done with William Tell standards. Her style would certainly have been somewhat different to JamDrop's! :D However, I enjoyed being in her class. She was definitely fearsome, but fair.
    My late Father also attended Green Road, until he left as a 14 year old in 1937 and I was gobsmacked when he told me he was also taught by Miss Rose!
    She was probably my most influential teacher at school.

    Miss Auty. English teacher throughout GCSE's marked everything down. Kept giving me C- for my homework and having to retype it it until I eventually started getting B's and the odd A.

    She was most disappointed when I went to Whitwood instead of New College. She'd hoped for something better for me. That kind of faith sticks with you.

    Mrs Hughes, my class teacher in year 2 at Northfield Middle School, South Kirkby, 1979 / 1980. We had to do the same simple arithmetic test of 200 questions in 5 minutes, every day for the whole year, whilst she sat at her desk, ate a bag of crisps and smoked a cig.

    At the start of term, we only got through 40 or 50 of them. By the time we moved on at the end of the summer term, the most proficient of us were doing all 200 of them and getting them right. It taught all of us the principles of mental arithmetic and was profoundly successful. A skill I still have, thanks to Mrs Hughes and her 5 minute cig break test.

    Geography teacher at Holgate, early 80s (Mr Muscroft????) used to throw blackboard rubbers at "miscreants" as well :):)

    I can honestly say that I didn't get hit as I was a good boy! Honest! :D:D

    ‘Basher’ Richards maths at Broadway Grammar. Back handed me clean over a desk when I was in fourth form. A right bas-tard. Then there was the Pilkington and Gus Bailey show on physics and chemistry, inflicting pain and misery on boys and girls for twenty odd years. If that wasn’t enough there was Slater (music) doling out retribution with a cello fingerboard and beardy Harris (PE) with a sawn off Dennis Compton autographed triple springer. ahhh happy days.

    May they burn in hell.

    Holgate 1962. Dickie Pymm. Disgusting nicotine stain on his slobbery top lip, also, a visit to his office down by the gym with any form of sickness or malady was met with"take your shorts down and cough lad". Needless to say not many schoolboys went down to his "sick bay" for treatment.

    Gus nearly killed me whiffing Ammonium Hydroxide but I still thought he was ok. Thought Polk was a test along with Slater. Don't know the others as they were probs later than me.
