If I'm reading it correctly you can stand trial in front of twelve men strong and true, get found not guilty yet still have a stain on your reputation. How's that work?

It's worse than that Eggs. Ex teacher on the radio the other week who had a claim of assault against him from a known disruptive pupil, which was investigated by both the education authority and the police (no case to answer) was stopped from teaching years later after a similar advanced check. 

Seems like the system is that you don't even have to be tried, the claim has been made so that is that.

i can only guess what the fella did but for what it is i expect as a taxi driver he'd taken advantage of some young girl who was worse for wear with drink..  just a guess but thats what it is..

 

in that regards he shouldn't complain when he's been put on some watch list, the man is obviously of low moral character..  in a word, serves him right..

 

not sure about the fella who assaulted a pupal,, if i had my way a good percentage of school children need a good hiding to keep em in check..   I'm all for more of that sort of thing, never did me any harm...

Well obviously I didn't like it at the time but it gave me reason to ruminate on subjects I might not of thought on till years later. 

 

At the time I might of been musing and seething on the abuse of power, but years later it dawned on me it was a simple mathematical equation..  to whit, spend hrs explaining why homework was important to ones life chances, or to hell with it and beat some sense into the little fkr..

 

Most of my teachers chose the second option..   I never did like homework.

End of the months, Eggs. People are flush for a few days.
