My three greatest upsets at the school, were -
1 - Being beaten up - punched in the face and body, back and forth across the front of the classroom several times, at the age of 12, by the irate Taffy teacher, caused by me answering a question wrongly.

The lesson learned "do unto others FIRST, if they look like doing it to you".

2 - Being admonished in front of the whole school publically - teachers and pupils, while standing on a wall, enforced by Mr. Strover,the Headmaster and facing the whole pupil filled playground, while he pointed at me with a finger, explaining from toe to head the scruffy, dusty and bloodied state i was in for adhering to the lesson learned via the Taffy occurrance a short time before.

The lesson learned, "Never give in to biased/blind Authority. Keep out of their way - at ALL costs".

3 - The 'Gang' i was associated with, well, half-a-dozen of us were called to the new Headmaster's office one day, around the age of 14, where he accused us of some demeanour or other. I stated i hadn't been with my friends at the time of the incident, which was quite true and stated so by them to him. But no, to him i was a member of that particular gang and hence i was as guilty as them. I simply MUST have been involved.
Six of the unearned best was the result. Three on each hand and it was the hardest, most painful caning i had ever known, before or after. The caning was so severe, that if any of us had had a weak heart, that would have been the end of things.

Lesson learned - "Never assume - it can get you killed, or as good as".
