Be Cruel To Your School
For nine months of the year, young people everywhere take to the classroom in an attempt to learn how to be good little boys and girls, productive members of society and the future leaders of tomorrow. But let's face facts: School sucks. It's boring, your teachers and classmates can be jerks and you're not really learning anything useful. The only good thing about going to school is that you get summer's off.
Yes, school may be hell, but this retrospective of the wild, the innocent and the education system shuffle will not fill you with nostalgia for your early years but rather have you marvel at how the hell you got out of it in one piece. Sex, violence and rampant destruction are all part of the lesson plan with these classic ARROW faves!
