2. Trying to teach a science topic when I had a child who shouted penis every time I said Venus, just because it rhymed.
3. My maths teacher who told me he’d see me laughterwards as he told me off for giggling in the line, this spoiling his temper as all Year 8 collapsed laughing.
4. The time a child appeared between my legs as I was doing a cross cross dance move in PE as he wanted to ‘put his head in the chopper’
5. The sex ed lesson where the responses was ‘why would you ever want to do that to anyone?’
6. The sex ed lesson where it dawned on a child that they had two brothers so their parents must have had sex three times.
7. The teacher I taught with who would show the birth video, pause it, then rewind so they had to watch the birth backwards as well.
8. The time I mashed together sharing and splitting when teaching division.
9. Putting post it notes all over a my year partners ceiling, just out of her reach.
10. Getting board waiting for parents evening to end and dressing the school skeleton in spare uniform, sitting it at a child’s desk and leaving it in the dark for the teacher to find the next morning.
11. Misspelling board for bored.
