ABSTRACT

‘She told me to take my coat off so I said, “No! I like my coat and I’m keeping it on”. She said if I didn’t take it off I’d get a sanction. I said, “Go for it, I’m still not taking my coat off, if I put it down somebody might nick it”. She sent me out of class and to the head of year. I told him the same, that I wasn’t taking my coat off, they couldn’t make me. He asked to see my arms, I told him to sod off and mind his own business. He said if I took my coat off he’d give me a jumper to put on for the day and that I could collect my jacket at the end of the day. I agreed but I still wouldn’t let him see my arms.
