Inside A Primary Scool
We hear of a teacher ordering a 10-year-old boy to remove a wristband at an Essex school. The "Help for Heroes" rubber band was apparently likely to "cause offence". The boy refused, and so he was put on report. The head teacher's wimpish comment that it contravened the school's jewellery policy is simply pathetic. As you might expect, there was also a 'Health & Safety' concern, as the wristband might get caught on something.
Apparently it is okay, according to the head teacher, for watches to be worn, so if the above ring were to be replaced by a dandling silver one with a dial, it would be okay. Expanding on this point further, the colourful Breo watches are no more than rubber bangles containing a small digital readout - hardly any different from the above.
So there's no real basis for the school being so silly. The co-founder of Help for Heroes has confirmed sales of 6 million of the bands, yet not a single instance logged of offence being caused, or H&S incident. Enough said, eh?
Outside a Secondary School
Southend Council has proven itself to be "institutionally cuntish" with the latest example of money-grabbing council action. A spy car has captured a boy leaving a car, as per the photo. This led to a £35 fine in the post for the driver/parent.
As two kids were using the zebra crossing, the driver stopped, and the son used the opportunity to leave the vehicle. The police have confirmed no offence was committed. The cunts in charge of fining the fuck out of anything have insisted the driver was "parked for seven seconds". WTF? Also, where the fuck is the spy car? Parked right at the edge of the zig-zags and no doubt causing to some degree an unnecessary fucking obstruction!
In Court
Elsewhere in Essex, a schoolboy has won £15,000. He sustained a tiny cut on his eyebrow after a teacher threw a DVD case to him. The result has been described as a 'moderate cosmetic deformity', otherwise known by normal people as a 'scar'. The small effect was clearly worth a large sum! Just £547 was required to cover the NHS input. £6,750 was paid for the injury, with £7,900 going on the parents' legal costs. This shows two things - first, that lawyers always make money, and second, that the blame culture means people (parents in this case) are desperate to push for some money. As a tax payer, I'd rather have seen the kid offered £7,000 by the school, and £8k would have been saved.
There are many other examples within the county, which over two years (2011-13) has paid out just over a million pounds. It seems that schools are not so much places of learning as arenas for duels and payouts.
In Birmingham
Two mother had to be restrained by teachers after a brawl started. It all kicked off in the playground (from which they've now been banned) after one mum accused another mum (previously a friend) of spreading rumours. Police were called, and a public order charge was made. Magistrates imposed fines of £215 and £400, with both being given 12-month conditional discharges.
In A Birmingham Hotel Room
Elsewhere in Birmingham, we learn, there has been a 'romp' in a hotel. The two involved were a 36-year-old teacher who was 'Head of PE' [does that really count for much?] and a pupil aged 18, who had sex after the school prom. He's been banned from the classroom for life, although I get the feeling he'd rather spend time on the sports field or in bed anyway. A jury found him not guilty of various offences (including rape and sexual assault) in 2011, but "unacceptable professional conduct" has been the conclusion of the NCT, meaning a lifelong ban from teaching.
More offensive (to me) than the ex-teacher's conduct is the sign outside the school entrance, that includes the statement: "Achieving Together Through Christ" - which is altogether deplorable.
In Worcester
A cunt of a mother harassed a teacher by claiming he'd sexually assaulted her 9-year-old daughter. The totally false allegations show how stressful a teacher's life can be, and how cuntish and deranged a mother can be. Poor bloke, but at least the courts have allowed him to rest easy now.
In Cloud Cuckoo Land
Education Minister David Laws has suggested that teaching 'Mindfulness' is a worthwhile and useful thing. The meditation will help pupils to concentrate and make them less likely to develop depression. I think lessons in meditation are not really particularly practical for most schools, and the kids are often so fucking fat that depression is inevitable - especially with parental guidance being commonly so fucked up. Boosting concentration, depth of thought, happiness and achievement is a noble agenda, but I fear it will have no real place as a serious national approach.
In the United States
The spoiled twat of a daughter, Rachel Canning, who sued her parents, has moved back into the family hope (subject to acceptance of rules) after the judge threw out the case. Stupid 18-year-old - otherwise referred to quite correctly as a C***.
