This was in my early years so I just hoped and prayed he didn’t come patrolling down my end of the classroom. He would rage like a bull elephant , and then select his next victim seemingly pretty much at random.He could throw a mean board rubber and was a crack shot with chalk …….but then he was a geographer….with the other idiot as his head of department.
Personally I think it is all the constant talk of fishing , sugar beet and map reading that sends them over the edge!
I’m afraid as far as our Aussie visitor was concerned many were sure the rumors of civilization having extended into the Northern Territories were grossly exaggerated, and that a good use of the school Christian Aid appeal would have been to have purchased him a one way ticket home! It would have been a very christian act so far as we were concerned!
