There would be others I never ran across. Also to some extent being for a long time on the no cane list I was protected. But the real problem is , as I see it , that this type of bullying , ( oh and another favorite venue for bullies which I avoided was the OTC), instills a culture into the school as a whole. There were boys who used to hang throughout break in a quad within our so called ‘old school ‘ which was directly overlooked by the Masters common room and the deputy head’s office . I found out years later that this was a favored place for those who dare not venture out of surveillance, because of the fear of bullying , ranging from name calling and enforcing copying homework , to loo head flushing and other traditional forms of torture inflicted by the gutless on the spineless.
