Should have remembered this one first...
...though it was collective.

Mr Morrison covered a CDT lesson, and was a proper upper class stammering twit who showed weakness and got punished.

He left the classroom to go to the toilet, and left the class keys. My mate Paul promptly got up and locked him out.
He came back, and, painfully, said "er boys, I seem to have jammed the door"

Paul shouted, in a fake voice "we have locked you out sir"

Mr Morrison went apoplectic, and started banging on the door, shouting. After two minutes, he said that he was going to get the deputy head, Mr Willett. My mate Daniel got the keys, stood on the table and hid them above a panel in the ceiling - this act saved us all, as it turned out.

Mr Willet turned up, opened the door with his master keys, and did a speech about being disappointed, and asking who was responsible. We all kept schtum.

Mr Morrison was still raging about his keys, which were also his house keys. Mr Willet demanded the culprit hand the keys over.

Paul said, to Mr Willet "sir, I'm not saying I'm involved, but if you both leave the room, if when you come back the keys are on the table, how about we all just let this go?"

Mr Morrison nearly exploded, but to my eternal astonishment Mr Willet sighed and said "very well. Two minutes" and almost dragged poor Mr Morrison out of the class.

Daniel got back up, got the keys down and put them on the desk, a minute later the teachers came back in, Mr Willet handed the keys to Mr Morrison, gave us all a disappointed look, and kept his word - none of us got any shit whatsoever for it.

Mr Morrison said "I refuse to teach any of you for the rest of the lesson. Do whatever you want, I don't care, you'll all end up in prison anyway" and read his paper for the next hour.

Sorry for length

'got punished'
/ was trying his best to teach a bunch of arrogant, nasty little shits.

Not saying he handled it well but I feel for the guy.

Well yeah. Bt the point is that some teachers give off a signal that they are ripe for pranks etc. They all have the same power to wield, but kids pick up on when a teacher can't pull off the discipline. It's bloody horrible, not defending it at all, but it is definitely the case that kids punish teachers that don't set boundaries properly

All teachers know that children will sense weakness (and exploit it).
If you can't deal with this, you shouldn't be teaching.

I get the feeling that this sort of story is going to become commonplace, once all the Free Schools get going.
