Mr Gleave

I ve just read in todays Lancashire telegraph that a Colin Gleave has died aged 75yrs . I am sure Mr Gleave who taught at Peel Park School had a son called Colin. Anyone know if this is the same person ?

Re: Mr Gleave

Thanks for that TubbyLes. I thought it would be about the right age as I knew he was older than me. I can vouch that Mr Gleave just used his flat hand on girls. I think he was the most wonderful teacher ever.
.RIP Colin

You are right Les, he was definitely in our year at AGS, one of the few that I can recognise on the School Photographs.

"Standing on the line" that strange punishment where you stood on the crack on the hall floor. I think you were supposed to reflect on your crime and miss playtime, all I ever did was daydream as I looked at the plaques of various people up on the wall.
Yes Mr Gleave what a great teacher but could never understand his obsession with spelling parallel correctly, it was always the last word on our Friday spelling test?

I remember Mr Gleave too......he was the teacher of Class 1......Miss Butterworth, was class 2........and Mr Heaton class three....the under achievers. I was in class 3.
I remember the punishment of standing on the line too...but I think I only experienced it once when the whole class was punished when someone did something and would not own up to it.
Happy Days....long gone!

Re: Mr Gleave

I was in Mr Gleave's class. I remember spelling immediately and necessary wrong a couple of times so had to write both words out 500 times. It worked ha ha I have never forgotten how to spell them since. When I was in Class 1 Mrs Maden had class 2 and think Mrs Becker had class 3 or 4 . I know I was in her class twice. Once the first class in the Juniors and then again later. The first time I was physically sick every morning. She frightened the life out of me. She certainly didn't like my face as I was always in lumber with her. Ofcourse those days it was no good going home and complaining about a teacher because most parents would have said 'You must have been doing something wrong to be in trouble.' and been in even more with the parents then. I remember taking Mr Gleave's cup of tea into the yard for him when he was on playground duty. The cup and saucer were green. Daft what you recall.

I remember Mrs Becker, but never had the dubious pleasure of being taught by her.

Re: Mr Gleave

It MUST have been Evening in Paris. There was little else in the 50s.
