Teachers Tell All (Almost) – Two Truths and A Lie (Staff Edition) – Mia P
I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed the first edition of Teacher’s Two Truths and A Lie. The winners of the last article have been contacted but requested to stay anonymous – I promise their sweets will reach them. So, for everyone else the answers for the last article are as follows:
Miss Judge:
It turns out that Miss Judge has not actually been to Paris 4 times, but Rome instead. She has said that she will be visiting the City of Love for the first time in the October half term (Only 3 weeks away!!)
Mr Gould:
While Mr Gould didn’t get banned from Framlingham for arguing with their coach, he did from Culford for the same reason (although I’m not sure how much better that is). He has assured me now that he is calmer in his “old age” (I didn’t say it!) and is now allowed back to Culford.
Mr Lloyd:
Mr Lloyd never contacted Kieran McKenna; however, he does tell me that he did actually contact Mark Ashton (Ipswich club’s CEO) via LinkedIn, but unfortunately never got a reply.
This week we are back with three new teachers, meaning new stories and another chance to search out the lies.
Ms Stone:
As head of English and Drama, I’m sure many of you know Ms Stone. After taking over as Head of Drama 2 years ago, we have had many amazing productions, both by years groups and whole school such as Wind in the Willows last year and the upcoming Les Mis. Again, I might be subject to biased opinions, but I must say that every lesson is a linguistic masterpiece.
I met Ewan Macgregor and Tom Hiddlestone at a drama event and was so star struck I couldn’t speak
I get this, I’d be star struck too, and I don’t even know what you should say in this situation.
My crime novel, Cherry Slice, was on the Sunday Times best seller list for 14 weeks
Jamie has gifted me Cherry Slice to read, and I can say that I would believe this to be true.
I once had to stand on a balcony lip-synching to a recording of myself reading a poem I’d written and everyone, including the royal visitor, a previous head teacher and my own wife completely ignored my performance
Laughed for a solid minute at this one – I don’t think you could ever get this information out of me.
Mr Cocker:
Mr Cocker is one of our brilliant English teachers at school (I’m beginning to feel quite confident that English will be the first department I can get every teacher to respond from) but for us year 12s he is also one of our well respected and loved tutors, from what I’ve heard making for very enjoyable tutor periods.
I used to have a pet duck called ‘Derek’ growing up that we got as a duckling. We later found out Derek was, in fact, a girl.
I feel like this is a universal experience with a lot of animals, my sister’s rabbit turned out to be a girl, but she’s kept her boy’s name.
My voice used to get played over the loudspeakers at Portman Road, home of Ipswich Town FC, before every home match.
I mean how does this even come to happen and why does it not still happen now?
I’ve met the actor Patrick Stewart on two occasions. The first was during a school trip to see Hamlet in the West End when we got autographs afterwards; the second was when he stayed at The Swan in Lavenham and we were there at the same time.
If this is the lie I will be crushed, Patrick Stewart has to be up there as one of my most respected actors.
Mr Corby:
Mr Corby is a jack of all trades when it comes to RHS, Biology teacher, Golf coach and maybe more famously; teacher of the quick step to the entire school, to reach our world record. I’m sure many of you have seen Mr Corby with some golf clubs in his hands, in the science corridor, at the front of your biology class or if not, you have likely been in his classroom for a lesson where you have pondered the many memes adorning his wall and the various plants and other biological decorations around the room.
I’ve been a presenter for a tv shopping channel
Honestly, I’ve struggled to give a comment on this one, I have too many questions.
I once said hi to Michael Jackson who was shopping in the same record store as me.
Secretly I’m hoping this one is true because if I met a celebrity, I’d be telling everyone about it.
My wife and I have been British ballroom champions.
Many in the school are familiar with the Corby’s ballroom talents but are they British Champions?
It’s time to get guessing, email me directly with your guesses – because correct guesses win prizes (the Haribos could be yours) The answers will be revealed soon…
