Noxious chemicals outside the fume cupboard. Going to the toilet when you needed it. Teachers throwing chalk (hard) at the pupils, caning, being slippered. Homophobia being very popular and seen as a good thing. Teachers smoking like chimneys in the staff room. Wolf whistling. Persistent sexual harassment dismissed as "boys will be boys".
