part of me thinks this is only minor mischief (provided it was done only by kids within the school, perhaps getting hold of a teachers password) – and things like that weren’t even illegal when I was at high school [although only very rich businesspeople had mobiles and they didn’t have text messages back then] it would be very worrying if the phone numbers of teenagers had got stolen from the school as far worse people could misuse them.
It wouldn’t be a thing I would have done back in the day because I was struggling with the pressure of exams myself too much but realised if I tried to disrupt the school like that I’d have got arrested (especially as in those days kids didn’t tell stories about trashing the school; they just went ahead and broke a few windows or set fires); and deep down I knew the school wasn’t at fault for the way things were nor were my parents; it was just the govt who were like that. (I’d probably have gone to the revision class anyway as it would be less stress than my Dad hassling me to revise at home!, and a chance to meet friends without being questioned too closely about what I was spending my time doing….)
