A teacher who kicked a pupil and shouted at him after he attacked her has been reprimanded. Nicola Sangster grabbed the waistband and backpack of the boy while he was lying on the floor, before kicking him on the bottom. She shouted near the pupil’s face, “You are not the boss of here, you’re not the boss of the school, and you’re not the boss of my class,” or similar words. She also shouted, “Do not hit your mum, do not hit your mother” or words to that effect.
Good for her - why should she have to put up with violence and aggression in her place of work.
The incident took place in December 2023 while she was employed by Aberdeenshire Council as a primary teacher at Anna Ritchie School, a school for those with complex needs.
Ah. The modern way of excusing the reality of them being ungovernable little shits who act like animals.
She said that she deeply regretted her actions, but she had suffered a “sustained attack” by the boy prior to the incident, which was confirmed by Police Scotland.
And what action was taken by Police Scotland against the boy? Is it 'none'? I bet it is.
"Special needs" of course ... excuses all behaviour.
ReplyDeleteAs an Assistant Scout Leader I helped run a village Scout Troop. We had one boy who was very big and strong for his age and who tended to bully the smaller boys. One night I found him kneeling on top of another hitting him. I had a folded Ordnance Survey map in my hands and without thinking about it , I whacked on the back of his head with it , telling him to behave himself, just as I would when my sons were fighting. The whole troop stopped what they were doing and looked on in amazement. The big lad stood up rubbing his head and said sorry, The Leader who was a Teacher saw the whole thing and said nothing, although I could see he was worried about consequences. From that day on the Troop behaviour improved and we had no more bullying.
