Sometimes I think back in the 1980’s Madness’ “Baggy Trousers” had it right.

Naughty boys in nasty schools 
Headmasters breaking all the rules 
Having fun and playing fools

Passing ’round the ready-rub 
Trying not to think of when 
The lunch-time bell will ring again.

Back in the day I went to a middle school in Oxford that could have so easily fitted Suggs’ lyrics. Of course I loved all the characters there, even learning when to avoid the occasional flying blackboard eraser! Time passes by, people move on, at times literally and people lose touch.
