Triggered.
If you mean Metal Head Smith, then I hate to disappoint you, but I always thought he was a bit of a bullying ****.
"I will take you into my study and I will beat you boy", was his catchphrase for the slightest misdemeanour.
That bloke was THE reason I decided not to stay on and take A levels, after constantly being threatened by him with
not being allowed to stay on and take A levels 
. I may have ended up at university about a decade earlier (when it was still free) if it wasn't for that deeply inadequate man (which could be said for a lot of them).
Bullying little kids. I mean really. Wouldn't get away with what I experienced and witnessed there these days.
Yes I am still bitter.
