Unreasonable Cruelty
Freddie Woo tells us: "We used to lock kids in the toilets at school just because we could." But why would you do such a thing? Why would you give teaching such a bad name? Tell us about times when events have taken a turn for the harsh.

Raaaaaaarnold
I went to quite a traditional boys grammar school. Whilst the clever and more studious pupils were lauded for their achievements and application, people like me, reasonable bright but with no motivation were left to get up to all sorts of mischief.
As this is about unreasonably cruelty, the one thing that springs to mind as being something I genuinely regret was the way we treated Rarnold. Now Rarnold was a tall for his age, puppy fat ugly misshapen bin bag of a teenager. He was also blessed with continual scabs around his mouth and lips, seeping puss and bile, flaking across his belongings, and for this he was ostracised.
We would do the old 'cats arse' lip thing, to mock him. We would draw him pictures of how we saw him, we even made masks mocking him, and replacement lips for him to wear. All of this was accompanied by us screaming 'RAAAAAAANOLD' in his face, over and over again, probably for years.
It was cruel, he couldn't help it, but it was funny at the time.
Fucking Rarnold.
Also we used to make two of the weedy boys fight each other at lunch breaks for the amusement of virtually the whole class, and wouldn't let them leave without fighting. We were horrible little cruel pricks, but maybe that's what happens at an all boys school.
That and the relentless pretend bumming.
