Now they are a bit cunty, I went to one years ago for my “Normal school”.
Well I had been invited back to my other school for an event, I had to sign into reception and was issued a lanyard and chaperone (just in case I was a kiddy fiddler) and dragged off to meet other old boys (It used to be a Boys school, but now mixed…very mixed).
The kids had just done a route march of 4 miles, and we were there to meet them.
Our chaperones, sort of dabbled in conversation, but were probably secretly worried at the turn of conversation, The “old boys” are predominantly ex forces and of a certain mind set, that frankly does not fit with the new order as we viewed a number of the students not as potential colleagues but as security threats.
We regaled the chaperones with story’s of collective and capital punishment and borderline psychopath’s who had escaped detention in secure hospitals by volunteering as teachers at the school.
They did not seem to like this, they also made a point of explaining that “Shouting” and “Physical violence” was not permitted, they have probably banned coercive treatment like torture too, just we did that too each other with no staff involvement.
On the whole it was very disappointing, as one bloke said, he felt that his world hand ended when he went there, it was just bleak violence.
The good old days 😉.
So taking the wife there was a bit disappointing, instead of a look into a school that was a cross between the 81 film Taps and 79 film scum it turned out to be a bit of a multigender/ multiracial mincing show with a splash of tartan.
(and I did not get to shag my wife behind the water tower because the chaperone wouldn’t leave us alone)
Bit of a cunty day that was.
