Am I the only one who sees the irony?

Fifty pupils have been suspended after they went on strike because their school stayed open through the snow. The year 10 and 11 pupils at Nova Hreod school, Swindon, refused to come back in from the playing field after morning break on Wednesday.

The headteacher, Julie Tridgell, said she had to give a tough response, as ringleaders encouraged the students to stay out. The pupils, who cannot return to school until Monday, had been using the strike as an excuse for bad behaviour, she said.
