| Summary | Exemplary Child |
Our fifth-year english class was in a Portable. Portables, for anyone lucky enough to not have them at their schools, are blocky, movable one-room buildings with office-style polystyrene-tiled celings.
The first time we were alone and unsupervised, I discovered that if you stood on your desk, you could reach the celing and push it up to reveal around a foot of empty space.
My eyes flicked from the foot of storage space, to the huge stacks of red dictionaries in the corner.
So, over the course of the year, the dictionaries slowly migrated from the pile to the rafters. Our teacher, sure of theft, started staging random bag checks, at which we huffed vaguely about human rights. And still the once-proud pile of red dictionaries dwindled.
She ordered another hundred dictionaries.
We put them in the rafters.
To celebrate the end of the year, we snuck out of the year-end assembly, climbed into the portable, stacked some desks and made a pyramid out of the 200 or so dictionaries. It was Itchycoo Park-level beautiful.

Participants would go to bed as soon as they got home from school and get up as early as possible in order to watch as many Disney movies as possible before school. Claims of 5+ movies were common, and would have required getting up at around 1am. The perfect, sleepless score of 10 (Around 15 hours of pure Disneytainment) was never verified.
I mean, fucking Disney movies? Where's the kudos? WHERE?

A demonstration that anything can be turned into violence, if you just put your mind to it.
So far, so normal. However, in this case, this was a signal for everyone in the room to remain absolutely silent. Anyone making a sound would cue for the bully to scream "PROBLEM!!" and kick the victim in the balls as many times as possible.
When taken further, a whole class can do this to a substitute teacher, minus the ball-kicking. The visual aspect of an entire class spring-loading their eyes like a bear trap, coupled with the audio payoff off screaming "PROBLEM!!!" every time s/he tries to speak, is brilliant.
- Bully puts fingers to eyes.
- "Chinese!" *fingers up*
- "Japanese!" *fingers down*
