Plot[]
In "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", Pink talks about how he had certain teachers during his school years who would abuse their students, reprimanding them disproportionately for everything they did that the teachers didn't like, which was almost "everything we did", as Pink puts it. However, Pink goes on to comment about how these teachers would themselves be abused by their spouses at home, and would thus take out their frustrations on their students.
