Not really, I went to a boys grammar school where middle of the road lazy underachieving fellows like me were overlooked
Alt: the maths teacher who was both a paedophile and a scout leader who's speedy exit from the school during my GCSE year probably helped our class obtain the lowest grades thanks to that and a fucking PE teacher being dragged out of retirement to 'teach 'us.
Altalt: Throwing a chair at a teacher, getting detention for 'smiling' and receiving an award for getting the most detentions during a school term. Also, the letter home for 'racist bullying'.

As a side note, a few years ago I happened to meet two teachers of mine who were in the same pub as me. We had a chat, they were both decent chaps although we didn't see eye to eye at school, and one in particular remembered me quite well and summed up my problems with the school with alarming accuracy and clarity. It was kind of nice that it was noticed.
