Talking to my mum today about my old primary school headteacher, who is now in a care home.
Mum: "He had a beautiful wife, but spent years having an affair with the primary 4 teacher"
Now, the assumption i had worked with for decades was that he was shagging the (gorgeous) primary 2 teacher. All my schoolpals the same. It was common knowledge. No, mum insisted (she worked at the school). Primary 4.
I won't name her, but she was a bitter, horsey looking, nasty woman. She was in her 40s but looked in her 60s. Evil as a teacher. Probably ate babies and kicked puppies down mineshafts.
Feels like my whole childhood was a lie. This guy called our class "The Unteachables". And now this.
