Interesting about your Physics teacher Villain as the Physics teacher I had was also up to the same thing, only heard about it years after I left school though.
In fact at least 2 teachers I remember were openly acting inappropriately with girl pupils. I would see them during dinner breaks in their classrooms with the girl perched on the desk in front of them. I'm sure it happened at most schools.

It was a a Blackboard Rubber that got chucked at our school (by the Teacher none the less).
You aren't allowed to use chalk in schools now - (H&S reasons) - as the chalk dusk can be harmful.
The board rubber hurled at you at 80MPH was more of a safety risk!
I saw one kid wrapped across the knuckles with a thick wooden ruler - the 1m meter ones, for calling a Maths Teacher a "Twat" and a "Pervert". The kid was correct on both parts - it later transpired Derbyshire Constabulary had a bit of interest in his interest in young girls and he got nicked & locked up - and possibly more than a board rubber thrown at him in prison.
Live by the sword, as they say!
I still cringe when I think of that ruler cracking his knuckles now.... Sounds exactly like the physics teacher who we called 'Billy Bunter' at my last school, he was the spitting image of him even down to the little round Grannie glasses. He was well known for being a nonce but got away with it until one of his victims (a fairly tough looking lad in the year above me who looked like a young Roger Daltrey), followed him out onto the school playing field one break time and decked him with a single punch. It turned out old 'Billy' had forced the lad into the back of his old Minivan and molested him. Within weeks of being decked on the playing field he was behind bars and rightly so. Most of our teachers at the same school were quite strict in some ways and all but one were rabidly left wing, not one of them had the nouse to encourage any of us to better ourselves and were always telling us we'd just be factory fodder on the day we left. Even the careers advisor was the same, she had no empathy whatsoever. The headmistress Miss Piggot was the exact opposite though, she modelled herself on Maggie Thatcher and was also a magistrate but despite this she actually cared about all of her pupils, she was very aspirational in her outlook both for herself and for those around her, the staff absolutely hated her but most of us kids had a grudging admiration for her by the time we left. The only teacher there who encouraged us and gave us an idea of what life could be like after school was our tech drawing master Mr.Farndon, he was a tail gunner in Lancasters in the War with a fantastic dry sense of humour who I'd often still chat to long after leaving school. I bumped into my miserable old English teacher in Sainsburys last year, after chatting for a few minutes it became very clear he's still the same mean spirited old tosser he was back in the '70s and '80s, for some unfathomable reason he hated anyone who wanted to better themselves. Because of teachers like him I mostly loathed the place and couldn't wait to leave, and when my mate blagged me a place on a Railway training scheme a few weeks later it was like a breath of fresh air. Villain A good mate and neighbour was a Tearaway at school, constantly in trouble and getting suspended. He's now a Detective Inspector in West Yorkshire Police.
I'm sure there's a Moral there somewhere... Right Gene?
He was given the job of a lifetime - to go an arrest a bent bank manager - the same b****rd who turned him down for a mortgage a few years before, but tried to offer him an alternative at a much higher rate of interest via what turned out to be a loan sharking operation and mass fraud operation.
He also nicked that Yorkshire Ripper Hoaxer too. (The Geordie one).

Sparky, The Bigger They Are, series 4! Yes indeed.
Thing is, he told me - the Bank Manager never recognised him. There were to be raids and arrests at the same time - and he was drafted in as extra hands, given a list and told to pick who to arrest. When the Bank Managers name popped up on it - he volunteered for that one.
He told me over a beer, the arrest was carried out in accordance with the Gene Hunt Police Procedure, 1973. Whatever that involves...

Think it involves a fair few smart remarks and and an amount of pain. It's somewhat similar to the Jack Regan one of 1975 although that one is a lot more painful.

Back on topic - there are a few tearways from school - who have gone on and sorted their lives out and done well. Ironically, those who I though would do well, haven't.

Jack's a good copper. One of the best, but he's not as effective as me at getting a confession out of scum.

Doing things "By... The... Book" and returning to topic:
I'd like to nominate the words "Woke" and "Wokeism" that seem to have exploded into every discussion recently.
Can anyone really explain them to me and why they have suddenly appeared as mainstream words on the lips of every protagonist in any debate?
To me 'woke' is an involuntary result that was caused by an alarm clock and the necessity to have to get out of bed to go to work.
Sam.

Sam. I have never heard of this. It's not an offshoot of Corporate / Office Speak is it?
As you say Sam, "Woke" is an involuntary result that was caused by an alarm clock.....

Woke? I have heard the expression a lot recently, like all of these new words it comes from America I think. Doesn't it mean someone who is extremely P.C. ?
I heard another example of Americanisms on our local radio station yesterday. A couple of people were saying 'fess up meaning to confess of course. It really annoys me how some people are so quick to take up these new expressions. No brainer is another one.
