I didn't get up to much at school...
(With the exception of being part of the obligatory group that was thrown off the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme for drinking). This was due to the fact that my mother taught there (which was shit as you can imagine) and therefore anything that happened at school I'd get an earful about at home as well.
There was however one plus side. I got to get more of an inside perspective on what the Teachers thought. Turns out they agreed with use more than I would have thought.
I vividly remember the case of a poor unsightly slag we shall refer to as M. M Bloody stank, obvious hygeine issues and used to get a lot of stick for it. Those dishing out the stick (not me remember I was a largely well behaved teachers son) would usually get told off for bullying. Quite right too, for all her obvious faults (and there were many) no one deserves to be bullied.
For me though the consensus was largely backed up by my mother when she asked me "who's that girl in your tutor group that really smells?"
"Who M?" I replied innocently.
"That's her, she came into class today and I had to leave, I thought I was going to be sick!"
Just one example, as there have been many others on here, that if something seems like common sense, the staff are only disagreeing with it in public because they have to.
And then there was the time that the photo of a kid wanking off a dog at a party the night before was intercepted and passed around by the teachers before it could do significant damage to the kids reputation with his peers.
Of course I told all my friends.
