Nigel Womersle   10 #169 Posted October 22, 2006 My favourite teachers were at my junior school (Abbeydale Middle), the frst is Mr. Lickorish, he was a great teacher who demanded respect from us all, he had his 'slaves' (usually the pupils he trusted to behave) i did the tuck shop duty!, they would do odd jobs like fetching the register, going to the tuck shop for him etc. but anyone caught misbehaving would get 'THE SLIPPER', (one of his old trainers which looked about a size 14 back then!) across the backside, boy did that make us all behave!  The second was Mr. Potts, what a great teacher he was, much the same as old licko stick lol, but if we did anything wrong we knew about it, he would turn on the old Pottsy stare where his eyes almost popped out their sockets, he would do this for until you were reduced to tears, it would turn the toughest kids into quivering wrecks, luckily i was a good girl   Was Mr Potts' name Richard? If it was then I knew him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sandie   11 #171 Posted October 23, 2006 The question of the best school teacher in sheffield depends on many things, is it feeling comfortable and having an easy time, or what we have learnt and carry with us in later years. Me personally have been with what would be classed today as the most strict teachers and discapline was delt on a daily baisis, you either did what you were told or else. The line was there and cross it at your risk. This might sound harsh, but from the age of 10 all the subjects, History,Geography, science Maths with the exception of English I can recall today. I was educated at a secondary modern, Carter Lodge, Wisewood then Central Technical School, from there to Granville Collage all in the 60's and early 70's. So my nominations for the Best School Teacher's in Sheffield are the ones that taught me and even today I remember the content Mrs Box Rainbow Forge School Mr Taylor Rainbow Forge School Mr Fletcher Maths Carter Lodge Secondry School Mr Haydock Wisewood Secondary School Pop Greogry Chemistry Central Technical School Mr Groake Phisics Central Technical School Mr Woolhouse Eng. Dwg Central Technical School Mr Bains Metalwork Central Technical School  With thease teachers you were taught in a fun way and a way you understood, we had text books not photocopies,we didn't have calculators only margins to do our working out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nigel Womersle   10 #175 Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) There's one thing for sure - the names Ralph Brooke, Nellie Riches and Edna Taylor (Russell) will never grace these pages. Never met more nasty sadistic people, especially Brooke. At the same school were Mrs Valerie Burgin (nee Goldthorpe), Miss Dolly Wright, Mr Charlie Cooper and Mr John Senior. These four people were brilliant, they made lessons a pleasure. Edited February 21, 2011 by Nigel Womersle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Roux   10 #176 Posted October 26, 2006 I'm surprised that a "small" secondary school such as Waltheof has attracted so many replies to this thread, I remember most of teachers mentioned...  Class of '79.  I particularly remember Mr Robert Goodrum (metalwork) cannot say its fond memories I bet he was a fine teacher, but from the very first lesson of his I was in he took the *iss out of me.  Anyone remember him reading out the lunch menu at the annex?  Hey there! I was also class of '79  I remember Mr. Goodrum very well. He liked to tease A LOT! He also ran the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme, and was a lot of fun at times.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
stevo   10 #177 Posted October 27, 2006 My nominations from the little mentioned and now defunct Concord Middle School would be:  Mr Kemp - for those excellent lunchtime film shows.  Mr Firth - for being Canadian and letting us listen to Neil Diamond in class.  Miss Kirk - for being cute and causing stirrings in an innocent 10 year old boy - me!  Miss Gwynne - For putting me in the rounders team.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
