Total miscarriage of justice!

In a news item on lunchtime tv today,it was reported the a long serving highly regarded teacher,was fined 1.5k for "forcefully" ejecting a disruptive pupil from this classroom.Aparently,he got hold of he pupil by the scruff of the neck as the pupil refused to go.He could have recieved a prison sentence instead.

This teacher should be applauded for his actions not reprimanded!Perhaps if more teachers took his stance,the unrulely aspects in classrooms who dont care a jot for their education or of others might realise that this type of behaviour is not acceptable.

Another pathetic example of political correctness falling on the wrong side imo.

FIL did a similar thing some years ago to a black boy who jumped the library queue and was "forcefully" moved to the back and told not to do it again. Result was FIL was suspended , told to go on an anti racist course and an anger management course. Did he heck?

His GP signed him off with stress and thus he was able to receive full pay and then take early retirement at the Council Tax Payers cost. Not what he wanted but the only solution.

We train teachers and then blow them out. Little wonder some kids have no respect etc.

But, grabbing anyone by the scruff of the neck is classed as common assault and you will receive a caution for that at the very least.

Whether its right or wrong, that's the law.

Discipline should begin at home and sadly, more and more teachers seem to have to deal with these unruly, savage people.

Did the teacher own a caravan then?

Hi,

The teacher should have said "I am arresting you for conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace". ????

I don't know the answer to that question Parks but we do have two upperclass members on here now - we have our resident Lord B and now we have a new lady on the block - Lady C. LOL!!

From someone who grew up with the daily diet of 'belt', ruler smacking (from my very tiny Latin teacher who was in her 60's when she taught me, and terrified all of us strapping lads) and of course who could forget the blackboard rubber whizzing passed your ears on occasions, I can only say, if that was 'common assault' can I get com-pen-say-shun?? However, I did learn my Latin and I did get to university, so the benefits were apparent. Also if I had told my parents I had received the 'Lochgelly Tawse' I would in all probability have received a clip around the ear, or another 'belt' as my old man had one, for having misbehaved in the first place. So I kept silent. Of course half an hour after the event, it was all forgotten.

We need to throw out the Human Rights Mess that Cherie Blair inflicted on us just so she could make a lot of dosh and revert back to our historical common sense. Children need to learn respect and a short sharp shock is the best way to do it. Some never learn of course, but they are a very small minority.

" Did the teacher own a caravan then? "

Yes is the answer to that, but why did you ask ??

seems a strange question to me.

Teachers need to be careful some I have have known in the past have been outright bullies, almost bordeing on being thugs.

Children need protection, and I am not a PC do gooder, but we neeed to divise better ways to punish the small minority who persist in loutish behavior.

Perhaps a clause could be added to the childrens right act...."All children cannot be trusted to tell the truth,especially in times of trouble caused by their own making.Therefore,it is perfectly lawful to treat ALL accounts of said incidents by said child, with a pinch of salt and dealt with accordingly with that premise in mind".

Don't even joke about that. There's thousands of children out there who are being abused every day of their lives at the hands of people known to them.

You're not funny or clever by making that sweeping statement whether its tongue in cheek or not.

LMAO Ian ... brilliant ;O)

I see this teacher had glowing reports from his head and colleagues but that made no difference.

The magistrate told him he had come close to a custodial sentence. It looks as if his 31 year teaching career is finished and if he's sacked he'll probably lose his pension to. Is this what Britains come to?

The parents put in a claim for compensation (surprisingly refused) which probably sums up the whole case. Is it any wonder feral kids rule the streets when the law protects them and casts aside a conscientious teacher to the dogs?

A teaching friend of mine, who had taught CDT for many years, was accused by a 14 year old girl of sexual misconduct. He was up before the head to be suspended when the form teacher with three other pupils asked the ehad for a private meating. The children all backed the teacher and said that the girl had fabricated it all. When the girl was questioned about this, with her parents present, she admitted it was all a lie and she was attention seeking as she did not like school.

My friend had all accusations against him dropped. He asked for the girl to be transferred to another teacher but this was refused as it would deny her right to continue her education. He then asked for a technician to be present when this girl was in his lessons which again was refused on financial grounds. After approx. 12 months he had a nervous breakdown and eventually took early retirement on sick. He now has a casual job working as a delivery van driver for a local shop and enjoys every minute of it.
