Haha this is completely inaccurate. Still funny though.

Nope, nobody gets arrested for fighting, unless someone is seriously injured. The only way the police would get involved is if somebody phoned them, and that's nothing to do with society and laws it's to do with the people who went to school in 1957 and see a fight and call the police. If anyone had aspirin at school they might get a bit of a telling off if they gave it away to people, but hardly arrested for drugs charges. Anyone being disruptive and stupid in a class would be out elsewhere or sent to the rector. It's very unlikely that someone taking apart fireworks would be arrested under stupid terror laws, but i's a stupid and dangerous thing to do in the first place. And teachers can give hugs no bother.
