What weird stories does the caller share about Boundary Crossing High School?
It's a lot is recorded on Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land and to elders past and present. We also would love to extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Rhode Islander people listening today and remind you all that sovereignty was never ceded and it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
It's a lot, isn't it?
Nightmare fuel. Woohoo hoo. You jingle.
Hey Abby and team. I just had to have a laugh because I was listening to the latest nightmare feel about high school. and inappropriate teachers and I reckon I've got the creme à la creme for this one. Like I my teachers were so incredibly inappropriate at school. I literally have like fifteen stories in my head, but I'm just gonna summarize What the fuck?
What w it seems there are certain schools. I just listened to a podcast actually that I was telling you about, Amy, off-air, um, called Adults in the Room. And it's by a, I think it's by the NPR in Seattle. Anyway, listen to it if you wanna if you wanna hear a little bit about fucking weird teachers. But there were multiple teachers at this school who were doing Fucking weird as shit. From like mild boundary crossing to outright, you know, we won't. You know. We know what we're talking about. Yeah. Um, not don't trigger anyone. But It seems there are certain schools that foster this environment and I find it very bizarre. Yeah.
Hmm. Memorize them. This story relates mostly to the music department because I was studying music for quite a few years, but usually the inappropriate practices that occurred within this department. It's kind of like a HR nightmare, I'm not gonna lie to you.
How did the head of the music department, Mr Beale, abuse his power?
But um basically the head of the music department, he was the vice principal for our school. And so I think this is why so much of this shit was like gotten away with. And it was also an era where this was like ten, fifteen years ago, where you could still probably get away with it, even though nowadays I really don't think this would fly. Anyway, moving on. So I'm just gonna call him Mr. Beale. So Mr. Beale was
a random alias. Yeah. Mr. Beale. Wonder what was in front of her. She goes, Mr Beal framed photo of Jessica Beale.
She goes,
hmm, number one big fucking poster on the ceiling. Seventh Evan or whatever she was in. was our head of music. He was, and this is no criticism to his body or anything like this. This is just to paint your picture. Okay. He was a morbidly obese man who was talented on piano and usually ran choir for the boys. Okay. He was also gay, but he literally had a hatred for women and I don't know why, like he didn't not like interacting with female students and he would usually usually purposely put them down. There were several occasions where he would of course like you like at school we have like a skirt length policy, but he would cold girl sluts and whores. What the fuck? Oh
my god. That's crazy. And then tell them that they're fannies or hanging out if they're Don't say the word fanny. Do not say the word fanny to me sitting behind your little piano. Do not fucking say the word fanny.
Like you can't say the word fanny to a child. No.
No. Your fannies are
hanging out
as well. Yeah. Kate.
Like also the misogyny in the like yeah. Misogynistic gay men of a certain age, many such cases. Mm-hmm. And like oh
dis uh a axe wound, disgusting like uh the term axe wound, get fucked.
Their skirts were too too short. And there was one occasion I was walking up the stairs with my friends and he purposely looked up into the stairwell and he was like, I can see all of your disgusting vaginas and fat
Oh hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. This man, why aren't we telling someone Neo Neeno. Neeno, Neeno, maybe maybe she doesn't. She gets turned down. I'm actually what a stupid question. No one will believe you and they'll tell you that you're being over dramatic and that you should have a longer skirt on. That's what they'll tell you.
So Mr Bill was a real piece of shit. But he was just known for being a bit of a craphead. So anyway we had choir and um he would always praise the boys and tell them how amazing they were and he would often play the piano.
