People shared the mad stuff that happened at their school that simply wouldn't fly today
A Reddit thread on r/AskUK asked users what mad things happened at their schools that would never fly today, drawing hundreds of replies. A former cadet recalled a trip to an army base where the leader, having forgotten permission slips, passed unsigned forms around the bus and told students to get them signed by their parents before arrival. Other replies described a teacher secretly re-running a failed German oral exam, Year 6 pupils staffing the school reception, blackboard rubbers thrown at heads, and a primary pupil bringing live WW2 grenades to class for show-and-tell.
