workingclasshistory:

On this day, 13 September 1911, 12 pupils at St Mary’s Roman Catholic School in Hull, England, called fellow pupils out on strike. They marched to nearby schools, pulling out hundreds of schoolchildren in protest against corporal punishment and excessive workloads, then went for a swim in the river Humber. Pupil unrest was mirroring mass struggles in factories.
