Re: Teacher sent home

What we should have is a respect for one another.

The fact that it is considered demeaning to clear the detritus away that society produces and anyone who does it for a living is looked down on..As in actual fact these days of recycling and renewable resources it's not an unimporant job,it's a vital one.Same for all the other low paid but vitally important jobs done by people who get little respect for what they do.

Doctors do important work but no more than the men who cart away his rubbish or clean the sewers or sweep the streets.We can't all be chiefs we have to have the indians as well and they are surely worth more than minimum wage?

Re: Teacher sent home

The problem is that she said schools were dumbing down to a public forum (not an internet forum, but in public). Whether she meant her own school or not, her school would have taken it to mean them.

Most employers would consider that Gross misconduct.

The fact that her head was on the stage with Bliar is probably irrelevant, as her head said nothing.

Update - MSN
Quote:
In a statement, the Diocese of Southwark confirmed the teacher will be allowed to return to the classroom next week, saying: "Her speech at the Conservative Party conference used pictures of children from our school and made reference to them by name. We are concerned by this and in particular by the way in which the pictures have been used.

"Teachers will always have opinions about the ways in which schools should be run. Some teachers may agree with some of the points made by Ms Birbalsingh and some may disagree."

It added: "Our concern is that the position of the Academy should not be misrepresented. Generalisations about teachers and schools can be seen as insulting to many teachers who have worked hard to make a difference to the lives of the young people in their care. We and all schools have high aspirations for our young people whatever their backgrounds.

"Miss Birbalsingh was asked to work at home on Thursday and Friday and will return to work next week."

It is understood that Miss Birbalsingh, an Oxford graduate, asked her headteacher's permission to speak at the conference.
