That counts out a certain primary teacher of mine many years ago that was fond of throwing students out of windows

As for your second point well these days the answer is that we have an all inclusive education system as many 'special' schools have closed so the burdens on the special needs staff have become astronomical. We can find ourselves dealing with Downs Syndrome children as well as any others with specialised learning difficulties.We will also have to start including the superbright children in the Special Needs funding in the near future.So there is no talk of removing children away to a special unit especially as one SNA may be in a classroom dealing with as many as 6 special needs students..WE just don't have enough staff to do so.Also funding is tight and many children are turned away from being given help.

As I said, I had no idea about this, I think it's an absolute bloody disgrace, I know certain local schools that have spent upwards of £100,00 0 this year updating IT equipment that was REALLY not needed.
