No, I didn't get into trouble at school. I was a bit like the character of Ferris Beuller, knowing how far to push things, and I had administrators and a very powerful head of department on my side.
I did, however, get an evil witch of a teacher fired, and one other resigned rather than face the disgrace that she abetted cheating. I also saved a teacher whom a department head was trying to force out because he is gay. They attempted to say that he was not representative of the school, so about 70% of the years he taught met on the main lawn and every guy happened to identify as gay, causing the troglodyte who tried to fire him to threaten to resign in protest, but the headmaster accepted it, and he was out.
So, not trouble, but clearly not someone who was easily pushed around by "adults," and "codes of conduct." The headmaster used to shake his head and say "Why did we ever teach you to think for yourself?" and would laugh.
