Laurence Tanner was a an underprivelged student at a primary school
in a small repectable town in 1963,
he didnt quite fit in to the posh neighbourhood
and teech didnt like him much in her class
one day he did something wrong.(again)
teech 35 something in boots/tweed skirt brigade
frogmarched him out of the classroom to stunned silence
today we are shocked by the return of frogmarching
but this was the frog march of all frog marches
not only was he hauled out of the classroom but he was
over the course of the next noisy 15 minutes step by step
yanked hauled dragged and pushed up a 4’wide narrow winding
50 step staircase to the Heads attic study as narrow as a Medieval
castle stairs.Yelling all the way shouting his head off with
screams that resonated round the whole school whilst the dedicated female
teech got him single handedly up the stairs all the way at last.
