We had a nun as principal in primary school and she taught us in 5th class. I can't really say too much bad about her cos I was one of her faves
There was a group of us that were pretty good at the table quizzes of the time (Credit Union, Cadburys, Community Games, Pioneers the main ones I can think of) and if you made the team you had a much easier ride from her cos it was her pet project.
Then there was our first class teacher who SHOULD have been a nun but never took up the vocation, she'd wash your mouth out with soap if you cursed in front of her or give you a crack with a Sally rod across the legs or knuckles if you were fidgeting in class . That wasnt a fun year.
Secondary then we had a priest as a religion teacher up to Junior Cert. Surprisingly he wasn't too bad and was quite open about discussing other religions. Though if you spoke back or acted up in class he'd put you out for the period and you'd have to spend the rest of the time trying to avoid the principal so you didn't get in actual trouble one day we went for the record of people removed from class and 12 of us were hiding in a cloak room for 30 mins till our next class
