who learned of a rival school heading to ours for a pre-arranged fight and went to greet them at the driveway, only to have his face smashed up with a baseball bat and was surprised by those actions.
We had similar except our teacher had the foresight to bring a baseball bat of his own so no face smashing up.
We had a supply science teacher called Rocket Ron who was recently back from Iraq (no-one really seemed to know what he was doing there). Science lessons consisted of him blowing various stuff up in creative ways (I was particularly impressed by him getting mshrooms to explode). He'd also cover other lessons where he'd set off homemade fireworks.
Another teacher had the habit of throwing the board rubber onto your desk if you weren't paying attention (you'd get covered in chalk dust). Occasional "misthrows" resulted in more than one broken nose. Also a teacher who'd try and pick you up by your sideburns as punishment.

Adding to the tally of alcoholic teachers with whiskey in their top drawer. Also had a PE teacher whose professional football career was ended by a groin injury and had the name Haycock so that was always funny. Head of year was "ex-Army" and used to bark orders at us. He looked a bit like Johnny Depp playing Hunter S Thompson, but without the drugs. We discovered later he was in the TA as a nurse. The whole science department were mental, either having actual affairs with students, or having strokes and coming back to work with almost no control over their bodies let alone the class. One of them very nearly burnt the school down after deciding that making rocket fuel was a good idea as a lesson. A maths teacher who slammed a door on a kids arm and broke it. He was fired instantly but was working at another school down the road within a fortnight. And finally my old history teacher, who seemed to model himself on the Nazi guy from Indiana Jones, who learned of a rival school heading to ours for a pre-arranged fight and went to greet them at the driveway, only to have his face smashed up with a baseball bat and was surprised by those actions.
