Do you honestly think they'd care about that?

More like they should be expelled from anywhere that puts a roof over their head.

I completely agree. I know about people who have been driven to quit the profession because the students have been so atrrocious that it's been made physically and mentally unbearable for the staff. It's disgusting it really is.
We have a maths teacher at school who is bullied so badly, she breaks down in the middle of lessons.

I have a cousin who is a French teacher - and she left the profession because of the behaviour of youngsters today - it is common knowledge what many are like!

That said - I, of course, don't approve of his actions - and he has to bear the consequences of that, whatever they may be - but I also think the little sh**ts involved should be expelled from the school!

I remember when my son was in junior school, a boy was expelled for bringing a knife into school and threatening his teacher. His reward? A private tutor, and bags of time off to roam around the streets causing trouble, then hanging round the school gates at home time and intimidating the same kids he had bullied in school?
