Mr. David Stanley

Mr. Stanley was the music teacher at Charles Darwin Grammar during Series 3. He was arguably one of the show's most tyrannical teachers. He had a strong dislike for Scott Peters, this can be seen in Episode 3 where he asks Peters to come to him 7 times, then telling him to run around a tree indefinitely. Another instance is where Peters "suddenly becomes ill" during a Music test and miraculously recovers the following lesson, which is P. E., Stanley summons Peters to his room and makes him resit the test.

Quotes
Episode 1:


 * Scott Peters: La la la la la la la la...
 * David Stanley: Oh, for goodness sake!
 * Scott Peters: I don't know the words, sir.
 * David Stanley: We have just rehearsed this for the last 35 minutes! And you still do not know the words?!
 * Scott Peters: No, sir. I don't.
 * David Stanley: You are stupid! Go and sit down! Lunch time, we will be rehearsing; you and I!

DON'T YOU DARE wolf-whistle in my class, Victoria Buxton! GET OUT AT ONCE!

Episode 3:


 * Boys, if I turn around once more, and see you mucking around, then I will be furious.


 * It's the boy that was...selected as a principal part.


 * (after Miss Gibson has left the rehearsal): Get that smirk off your face, Peters, because you're the top person on my list. Stand up straight, sit down. Sit down there, you too. Come here. (raises his tone) Come here. (more stern) Come here. (shouts louder) COME HERE!!! COME HERE NOW!!! (snatches book and throws it to the floor in a fit of rage) COME HERE NOW!!! GET OUT, YOU STUPID LITTLE BOY! (starts yelling straight into Peters' face) YOU STUPID, INSOLENT, SILLY LITTLE THING!!! GET OUT!!! (escorts Peters outside)
 * Keep running around this tree! Keep running around this tree! GO, GO, GO, GO, you failing little twit! (heads back inside and starts lecturing the boys en masse) We are trying to teach you the music for Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado, and all you can do is disrupt, laugh, be pathetic! We've already had Anidugbe sent out, we now have Peters running around a tree. Stand up.

What're we going to do with you, Peters, eh? If you're not being silly and disrupting, you're completely... isolating yourself from the work by being 'ill'.


 * David Stanley: I am NOT happy with your effort, with your work.
 * Scott Peters: (shouting over Mr. Stanley) what are you on about? No, No, No, No, No, No, No!
 * David Stanley: I want you to do this again and I want you to write it out much more neatly and I want you to answer some of the questions PROPERLY.
 * Scott Peters: Why am I gonna do it again? Sir, why am I gonna do again?
 * David Stanley: (sternly) Because I've asked you to, Peters.
 * Scott Peters: I've already done it.
 * David Stanley: (starting to lose his calm) Do it again!
 * Scott Peters: I've already done it.
 * David Stanley: DO IT AGAIN!
 * Scott Peters: Why isn't anyone else doing it again?
 * David Stanley: Because THEY were not asleep during (slams his fist down) MY MUSIC TEST! Get on with it!
 * (Mr Stanley walks away)
 * Scott Peters: Who was asleep? I wasn't asleep, Sir you don't even know what's going on! Jesus.
