Bucking the trend... I was a model pupil at school
well behaved, well liked, good grades... and at the end of 6th year, I won a trophy for "sixth year's sixth year" as voted for by everyone in my year... good times. I don't miss school though. I had a really great school, while I'm sure some bullying must have gone on, I don't think there was anything beyond people smirking to make another person uncomfortable... it was weird how calm a place it was. Quite a few of the teachers were involved in scandals in the last two years I was there though; in a short space of time there was a guy fired for watching porn, a student exchange PE teacher from Australia sent home to Australia because he was texting 2nd year girls, my form teacher got fired for getting drunk on a school trip, my replacement form teacher was taken to court by another member of staff because he allegedly locked her in a cupboard, the heads of the history and geography department had an affair and left their respective families, all of the old guard English staff quit and were replaced by young women and my teacher left half way through the year because "those silly bitches want to replace Shakespeare with Harry Potter!!" (she genuinely said that to us the week before she disappeared...) etc... So yeah, the pupils were totally normal, the teachers were basket cases!
