I went to school from in Scotland about 1970 to 1983 - without much difficulty I can think of quite a few situations that I would hope would result in sacking and criminal charges these days. Being a bright kid and usually "teachers pet" I didn't get too much abuse directly but I can remember one poor guy who clearly had learning difficulties getting his face smashed repeatedly slammed into the blackboard by a teacher - we were about 6 at the time. :-(

My PE teacher locked me in a closet and had the other boys beat me because I was bad at cricket. This was in around 1990 ish. This was a comprehensive school in the north west, working class area. The corruption ran deep. When I told my parents they didn’t believe me and said I was exaggerating. He was a bully who lots of kids hated. He ended up with cancer and there was a whole fundraiser for him etc which I refused to contribute to which was a bit petty. And then as Mark Twain didn’t say ‘I’ve never wished death upon someone but I have read some obituaries with more pleasure than others!’
