I know the place.....

It is a shame teachers didn't instill (as well as hieroglyphics) the way to appreciate a 'job'....no matter what status it might bring you........

Not like him no.

There were a few that played up from time to time but although I went to a Comp, it was a very large one (300 in each year) and we were streamed with me in the top stream from Day 1 (it was done on our 11+ results) and anybody that behaved like that would have been put down to a lower band either purely because of the negative effect it was having on the other pupils or because their Grades weren't good enough to stay in that stream.

I have no idea what it was like in the lower bands, there probably were a lot of them.

That is not me saying I think Bear is stupid by the way. I'm not sure what he is but the behaviour he has exhibited right through the process, and especially in the school room task wouldn"t have been (wasn't) tolerated in the classes I was in.

I went to an all girls school but we had a argumentative nob in our class, as a consequence we got voted worst class for everything until she got removed in the 4th yr

yes for sure lots loool.

My school had lot's of pupil's just like Bear, teacher's didn't do much about it.

I suppose they gave up and just became alcoholics

We had several, all total C*nts!

We had quite a few bears at my school. The dull as dishwater James's didn't last very long.

I taught a six year old not unlike Bear. It was somewhat challenging.

I went to a Grammar school, but we still had a few Bears.

Yes and he was expelled for disruptive behaviour.

Yes i think most schools did and i have been thinking the same. The school fool/bully
The one who took things that little bit too far wanted to be the centre of attention.

You could see even then they had issues the one at our school i found out his dad was a drunk and his dad used to beat him so would obviously take it out on others.

What makes Bears behaviour worse is that he cant even see that what he does is wrong and those that condone it are just as bad

No, I went to a grammar school someone like Bear (a) wouldn't have got in, and (b) wouldn't have lasted.

Yes. Funnily enough his nave was Steven too. For some reason he liked me so he was always fine with me.

Actually there were a couple who were worse. Gaz and Billy.

Gaz was a quasi-psychotic big slab of a teenager and Billy was a little rat like little sh!t. He was always starting something and throwing his weight around against others, confident if someone responded aggressively toward him, Gaz would be there with his fists.

This continued throughout high school until into the final year they had a fallout and all of a sudden Billy was sweet and nice as pie to everyone - mainly because the queue to exact some retribution really did stretch round the block!

I did ask Gaz what had happened (one of the very few instances when we did speak) and he sighed and said he had just gotten sick of Billy starting fights and him having to finish them.

He would have seven bells knocked out of him by the Christian Brothers if he carried on like that.

I don't condone violence least of all on children. However, a bit of fear for a knob like Stephen Bear would be enough to keep him on track.

I was lucky enough to have never met anyone like him at my school. (All girls) Yeah, a few cheeky eejets but nothing close to the repellent way he behaves.

I went to an all girls Grammar School and if we behaved badly it was instant expulsion so none of us dared! This was 1953 to 1959 and no such thing as being excluded. I never understood why that was a punishment anyway as I would imagine that badly behaved children would look on that as a reward!

If anyone dared to misbehave in class you either got hit on the knuckles with a ruler.

Or had the blackboard eraser which had a wooden back thrown at you.

If you continued you were sent off for the cane across both your hands palms up.

There was a lad in my year I forget his name now, he was a punk who always tried to be a nuisance, and tried to act clever as in being disruptive but it only made him look stupid (just like Bear). I did however hear a few years back that he committed suicide and supposedly it was because he was actually gay and couldn't handle being gay and coming out with it Whether this is a true story I will never know and don't wish to know as I was never friends with him anyway.

That's kind of a heartless attitude.

I went to an all girls boarding school and one of the girls that was in my year was a nightmare, she tortured everyone and she even managed to give one of the teachers a nervous breakdown. I don't know what happened to her afterwards since many in the school came from all over the country we never really crossed paths again and of course I was never inclined to do so either lol.

In all of the comprehensives I've been to the majority of pupils were like Bear.

I never meant my post to sound heartless, all I meant was that I was never freinds with him or hung around with him so it doesn't mean so much to me.

Went to all girls' school, and there was one girl, Margaret who wouldn't stop being a nuisance in class, and disrupted it every day. She never listened to teachers either and was always rude to them. She could get the class on her side against the teacher. But when she was kicked out of the class, and came back much later she was quiet, but that never lasted long, and she was back to her bad ways.

bib - I personally think he knows exactly what he's doing and that it's wrong, he just doesn't care because he has a goal - to aggravate everybody and gain air-time, and he will stick to that goal no matter what.

Yep!, we had a den full of Bears in our school ..it's the only thing that made high school and college bearable "pardon the pun" lol

thank god for all the bears in this world, i never would have gotten through it otherwise heeh
