Quality rage bait headline by Sky, “given”… yeah, compensated for unfair dismissal (illegal), failure of the school management to properly handle risks, and so on
The pupil should pay for it out of their wages when they get their first job.
The teacher should sue the pupil’s parents as well, assuming they have any assets worth taking.
I have 5 boys in my y11 form who are all much larger than me and pick collect detentions like they’re going out of fashion. I’ve challenged them twice and both times have ended in threats.
I’ve requested they be broken up into different forms until the end of exams but the school isn’t prepared to sort that out. I’ve said if this ends in an altercation I will be pressing charges and the behavior manager literally laughed.
I have a feeling if payouts like this kept happening schools would do a much better job cracking down on this sort of behaviour
What a horrible state of affairs ! When teachers are subject to violence they should be protected and treated with respect
Never had these problems back in the 60s and 70s. I wondered what changed. Surely something must have changed then and now. It has got to be. So what changed.
Being a teacher in this country is like being sent to work in a sweat shop.
End of the day as much as we think teachers are glorified babysitters, schools are workplaces, and as such those responsible for these work places are responsible for safety within the work place for workers (teachers and other staff) and visitors (pupils and others). That is the Department for Education, and when the safety isn’t upheld, payments need to be made.
