that is crazy lol...

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

Yes, there are officious idiots everywhere, just waiting to ruin the reputations of kind-hearted dinner ladies and other ordinary people who see biscuits as a nice thing to give children rather than a means of abuse.

Morons. :rolleyes:

Being a Teacher I would like to hear whet Maggie has to say about this (That is if she wishes to)

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

hmm..it is the world we live in

I wouldn't chat in an overly friendly manner at work..in case it is misconstrued

Sigh..bring back the old days..when you could chat a girl up..and all you risked was a slap in the face.

Where you could (as a child) offer a fellow child a lick of your lolly..and all you risked was the greedy bugger not giving it back

Where you could play with your marbles..and not be asked to take your hands out of your pockets while doing it :D

If the story can't get any more stupid...

So if an teacher who is an aunt, hugs her nephew, then in the eyes of the authorities she's a paedophile?

And people wonder why there is a dangerous shortage of men in primary school education?

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

And play kiss chase without facing a sexual harassment charge, instead have her shout WILL YOU STOP PICKING ME ALL THE BLOODY TIME, YOU FREAK! :erm:

:D

I really hope there is more to this i do because if not we have managed to hit a new low in this country and lets be honest were pretty much at the bottom in some ways already.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

To be fair, you had just turned 30.....;)

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

To be honest words just freaking fail me.:banghead:

Not that I couldn't express myself but forum rules dictate that I don't let you have both barrels.Just imagine a paragraph of expletives allied with a Victor Meldrew turn of expression and you might just hit the mark.;)

Suffice to say that teachers can at times be just as stupid and unthinking as the rest of the population.:rolleyes:

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

Well since they've made primary education a virtual no go area for men, maybe the next target for all their paranoia is middle aged women.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

surely though giving young children food albeit just a biscuit is her job ,it's what the LA employ her for :confused:

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

With all due respect Primary education has never been a draw for male teachers.Indeed the teaching profession overall is rather more peopled by women than men because of the imbalance in Infants and Juniors..Only in Secondary education does the mix become more even but it was not because of the implication of pedophilia that this imbalance occurred(well not until recently).It's a shame because men tend to get more chance of advancement in primary education and they are more sought after.

The sad thing is a child can go through the first 7 years of schooling and get no male input at all and it's not until secondary school that they get the male input.This might not seem a big issue but in the case of single parent families(mothers) a male teacher can be a good role model to disaffected male students.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

True, it's never been a major draw for males but the reason for that wasn't the terrible suspicion with which they are now treated when it comes to dealing with children in general.

Its so stupid, when i was in the last year of school the music teacher, myself and my dad were close friends and he used to give me a lift home because i was bullied. Now he wouldnt legally be allowd to do this at all. this was only back in 1998.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

I am not aware of any laws preventing a teacher giving a child a lift home.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

yep there are, they r not even allowd now to give one on one tutoring and that stems back even to when i was in school. Afterschool some teachers used to run after hour tutoring for people doing GCSEs and they HAD! to have atleast 2 pupils with them at all times.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

Unfortunately there is some truth in this.Some students have been known to make false allegations and some female staff have been victims of sexual assault.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

Yeah Maggy, the music teacher at my school was male, and hes still a friend now and we are in contact via facebook. He used to come and find me every break and lunch time and give me his keys which also had his car keys and house keys on them and tell me i had to stay in the music room with friends because i was beaten up in the first year which led to my disability with my back just because i have psoriasis. That man saved my life literally thats how close i was to suicide and im glad i have had a chance to thank him.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

This is crazy..............................

Surely if she had given the boy, a haircut and a manicure this could be misconstrued as grooming him?

What next......................?

My father, like many people his age, is 72.

How much longer must we put with this?

Wibble.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

Until somebody important gets accused of being a paedophile for something so innocent. or you slap the PC people so much that they realise they're a big joke and it's time to stop.

Re: Dinner lady giving biscuit to boy seen as Grooming.
 

The person or persons on the committee that thought she had a case to answer should be the targets here. They are clearly unfit for purpose and should be the ones removed following this whole sorry fiasco.

(imho)
