Perverse Education
Once we had an assignment to get in groups and make up a short aerobics routine for the rest of the PE class to join in. at the time I was best friends with the “cool” girl in class, the one who smoked, and whose parents would supply her with cigarettes and alcohol. She wasn’t exactly rebellions, she was a pretty nice girl actually but she had an older brother at school who was a bit of a rebel and who hung out with the “bad crowd”.
I think for this reason the teachers were a bit intimidated by her. So when it came to watching another group’s aerobic routine, Nic (for that was “cool” girl’s name) kept messing about and bumping into me (see, not exactly rebellious). Even though it was clearly her and not innocent awayfromthenumbers, the PE teachers decided it would be best to scream at me in front of everyone and order me out of the gym… out onto the playground… in my shorts and t shirt… in the middle of winter… with a mobile full of sixth formers looking on. And they locked the door - booooo. When PE was over they took me into their office and yelled at me until…yes…I cried. At the grand age of 15- wooooo!

There was also the token pervy teacher. She used to enforce showering. Once two classmates didn’t shower and when teacher realised, she kept all of us there in the changing rooms to watch them run through the showers naked. This same teacher once insisted on putting my hair into a ponytail for me, and whilst stroking my hair randomly said she wished I was her daughter- slightly unexpected as I’d never spoken to her except “yes” at register call.

We also had giant baggy blue and white striped shorts with a faded smelly pink t shirt for the unlucky one who forgot their PE kit. Didn’t like them.
