Did Willie like it at school in London? Why?

Willie did not like school in London, as his teacher spent most of his time yelling at the students and rapping their knuckles.

He’d forgotten all about school. He thought of Mr Barrett, his form master in London. He spent all day yelling and shouting at everyone and rapping knuckles. He dreaded school normally. Mrs Hartridge didn’t seem like him at all. He gave a sigh of relief and rubbed his chest. That was one ordeal he didn’t think would be too terrifying to face.
