General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There were 'cowboy' male teachers in all secondary schools after the war and well into the mid sixties. Some were gentlemen with lots to offer; others were well out of their depth and did nothing but cause misery and fear.

We had a wonderful Art teacher, who, I suspect, had limited academic qualifications, but had a profound influence on every boy he taught. His talent for creativity and painting was second to none. And his stories of wartime Britain were a joy to hear.
