When I was in 6th Form we had a horrible PE teacher who took us for PE on a Friday afternoon. As I had a heavy A level load, I made the excuse that I had to go to our main town library to study and research. This was cleared. Really, my boyfriend with a car was waiting for me at the bottom of the hill and we would drive to a nice coastal location for an ice cream and walk as Friday was his day off. Never got caught.

I wasn’t so bad as my parents were very tough, most of my energy was put into not getting in trouble as they would find anything to justify a beating/berating.

On the other hand my 3 were really bad😬.

My daughter and her friend took my car joyriding for an afternoon, it was a striking cabriolet, they were 17 and both on a provisional license.
To this day I don’t know how they got away with it.

Our first sons school was having a new library built, it cost millions, they had a barcode security system installed, my son and his friend found a barcode and stuck it on the underside of the exit door.
Each time someone left the alarms activated.
It took them some days to figure it out.

Son 2 was basically the schools Del Boy!
He would buy various goods that the foreign students craved and sell them on at inflated prices.
He had also found a place to meet take away delivery vehicles somewhere on the school, boundary, he would charge to collect the takeaways.

I’m sure they all did much worse but what the eye doesn’t see!

My husband was really bad, it usually involved cars, speed
and air rifles.

When he was at school he used to confiscate porn mags as he was a prefect, he would then rent them out.
He reckons he could have an incredibly summer on just 1 terms takings.

He and some friends dismantled a masters bicycle that he always left propped on a wall by his study.
They then put it back together but only just, so the whole thing collapsed the second he touched it.
