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", "layers" as "lairs", "nicole" as "nikol"

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.

She drives a large people carrier, which is quite contradictory to her beliefs on global warming and how we should all try and help the environment.

Her smile is well known, and her office is right in between two of her year's form rooms, which she seems to love.

She is currently stalking 08B. She is their Head of Year for the second year in a row (she is supposed to stay with the same year until they leave though) she has them for Geography third year in a row and PSHE for the first time.

Mrs Young set 08B a homework at the end of Year 8, to make a fossil, over the summer holidays. Jake Sutcliffe was the only person who remembered being told the homework and the only one who did it, so Mrs. Young gave him a merit a real fossil (the real fossil was only about 1cm³).

It is rumoured that when she gets angry at someone, she throws her wig at them, like a frisbee.

Quotes

• "If this isn't complete it'll be homework" (No-one ever completes it)
• "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"

• 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.)
• She will often seem to have come to the end of a sentence and pause before saying "comma" and carrying on the sentence that's already taking up 1/4 of your page. She seems to enjoy doing this as well.
