Weird things your teachers told you in school

number10a

Give us some examples of the weird and fúcked up things that you were told in school by your teachers.

I'll start off with one of mine that arouses a few giggles (and that I ashamedly believed :rolleyes:):

- According to my biology teacher, weasels have pockets to store food in for later. I only found out a few months ago that this was not the case.

Also, my nana was told a few odd things by the nuns when she was in school:

- It was a sin to use a black toilet.

- Hair is turned grey by spirits coming and taking away the colour.

I've said it before, but my maths teacher told me I was impotent.

I was pleased I followed it up with one of my most daring lines in school: "Is it any wonder when I'm stuck looking at you?"


Our science teacher in Year 9 told us he killed someone in Iraq

" Reilly I notice you enjoy the frequent nose pick, but your technique makes me sick... Remember lads pinky does the trick."

That there was a mincing machine hidden in the wall where the bold kids were fed to. It was when we were in junior infants. Believed it for the 1st few years of school!

I shaved my head and next day in school the teacher announced in front of the whole class I looked like a neo-nazi.

One day, the knowledge that Patrick Kavanagh was really jealous of all the dancers going to Billy Brennands barn tonight, but lacked the social grace or self-confidence to truly express himself and willingly joing in... will save our lives one day.

My 5th class teacher(a female) told all of the girls to always :

• hold in your tummy
• stick out your chest

That's the proper way to walk.


Same teacher had a human skull in her desk.
Plus made us do a play in class in which we were short of costumes and so made us wear her old nightdresses.

Never forget being constantly reminded that all we needed to do to pass Irish was reach the magical number of 240 between the written exam, aural&oral and it was so easy he only needed to do about 10minutes teaching a day and the rest talking to the other teachers in the corridor before,after and during class.

You could get pregnant from sitting on a boys knee.
When travelling by public bus, you should always put a newspaper down on the seat or, again, pregnancy could result.
Babies came out your bellybutton and the nurses caught them on a silver tray.
I had the divil in my eyes. That one might be true.
If we didn't learn to embroider, we'd never find a husband, or if we found one but we couldn't sew, he'd beat us.
A foetus was a perfectly formed but microscopic baby from the moment of conception, could think, hear and see and was capable of singing hymns in vitro.
If you burnt porridge you'd go to hell.

All of the above gems from Sister Marie Louise, God rest her soul, my Religion and Home Economics teacher in 1st Year in the late 80s. Think she might also have been special advisor on women's affairs to the Taliban.

A nun told us we should never dance with a boy if we were wearing shiny shoes, as he would be able to see up our skirts in the reflection. She also told us we should always put something under us when sitting on a boy's knee.
