Mrs Etherington

Introduction

Mrs Etherington, Spanish/French teacher, though a nice person outside of the classroom, tends to find it difficult to tame the lads-who-just-can't-be-bothered classes. Also often frequents as a Michael Jackson look-alike. Took some time off from teaching, allegedly under the influence of Adam Taylor. She hasn't been seen since.

Classic quotes

• "Why is that everyone at this side of the room clams up?" Rob Whitworth (in correspondance with her appearence of Michael Jackson) "Well moonwalk over there then!"

All of these quotes were said to 03B, 03B, 03R and 03N in 2005/2006.

• "Come on Year Nine, You're Just Not WITH IT!"
• "9S managed to do this much quicker than you did," (which she also said to 9S about 9B, and to 9R about 9N).
• "Can I just say 9B, you're just being insolent"
• Get with it 9N/S/B/R, you're just not with it!!"
• If you don't behave properly I am going to send you right out of this classroom, you can all line up along the hall in alphabetical order and in silence. I can only hope doctor robinson or another deputy head comes along and asks me what you have done. " (She actually did this with 8G in 2002/2003, and 9R in 2005/2006. Then let them go after about a minute.)

These all make her a seemingly easy-target teacher to harass. In the words of one of her students, "Spanish has never been so much fun."

She frequently kicked Michael and Jono under the table, so one day Michael kicked her back.

she also asked two of her pupils last year in 9n if they had been taking drugs because they were being naughty.
