About

As well as Mrs Young's general excitement about the future of the school and how dedicated to the good ship BRGS we all ought to be, she does her best to steer her year group through the choppy waters of life.

She is world-famous for pronouncing the word "one" as "wun", and a stage show based on this is opening in Bacup in 2008.

Quite an old fashioned teaching style which largely appears to be based on the idea that teaching only involves dictation. Her lessons are extremely boring and lack interaction. Despite this she does hold extensive knowledge on her subject matter and can convey this well.

Quotes

• "I shall say this only wunce"

• "Can I borrow James please?" **James returns red faced and our of breath, "Just a check up ;-)"

• "You will have wun hour to do wun piece of work or you shall get a detention"

• to her year during year assembly 2006: "i do get a lot of pleasure from seeing and helping you"

(many things we do seem to give her 'pleasure')

• "I'm carrying the can"

• "ITS A GAME"

• "I get pleasure from compliments.."

• "The river goes wuuoooosh!"

• Mrs Young: Now 9B I'm just going to dictate a couple of paragraphs to you (proceeds to make us write at least five pages)

• (During an extremely boring dictation) "Last sentence" (Says the last sentence) "Full stop." (promptly continues to make us write half a page more, saying last sentence every sentence. She later denied all of this.)
