Boy who urged the killing of a teacher returns to the same school

I saw this in the Times Ed today. I can't find an on line link.

A boy at Gleed Boys School in Spalding set up a website in Bebo that urged fellow pupils to 'kill' a teacher. He also encouraged them to post abusive comments about this young female member of staff.

The Head permanently excluded the boy, but this has been over turned by the governors. The head has to take the boy back into the school. The teacher is off sick, with stress.

Nice.

BTW I admire your stance. I am not sure whether I agree with what you are saying as I don't know all of the facts, but your son is very lucky to have such a plucky mum.

Have watched long enough. NJ35, herself launched a fierce verbal attack on the teacher in question at the parents day this year in the presence of other parents and staff. Has the son merely copied the mother?

UCM · 20/06/2007 21:12

Maybe someone you know pointed you here, I don't know. I am not being horrid. Good luck.

Here we go.

Blimey. >

ViciousSquirrelSpotter · 20/06/2007 21:15

LOL

Is there actually a news link to this story anywhere?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:15

for an incident that happens outside of school, the teacher in question could have gone straight to the police, bypassing the school entirely.

it sounds like this boy is lucky that it didn't become a police incident firstly then a school matter secondly.

school disciplinary procedures seem to be more stringent and by the book when it is already a police matter.

that would be my recommendation to any teacher btw. and this isn't a direct comment on NJ's case before anyone jumps up.

NJ35 · 20/06/2007 21:18

I have never launched a verbal attack on the teacher,that is incorrect im afraid and there were many people who were in the room,so im afraid that is untrue

NJ35 · 20/06/2007 21:19

the police were informed the day after it occured

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:19

"also the teachers career may be ruined by the press as well"

i am curious about one thing, NJ. do you think the teacher's career may be ruined by just "the press as well"?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:19

was the police informed by the teacher or by the school?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:20

ie: did the teacher make a complaint to the police for them to investigate or did the school 'inform' the police about the matter.

that makes a world of difference.

NJ35 · 20/06/2007 21:20

I wasnt told who called the police

ViciousSquirrelSpotter · 20/06/2007 21:20

What actually happened?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:22

then it sounds like the school told the police otherwise, you would have had the police knocking at your door, interviewing you and your boy.

gatewaytoindia · 20/06/2007 21:22

If NJ35 has never launched an a verbal attack on the teacher she is not the mother - just someone else out for the attention this is generating.

Hulababy · 20/06/2007 21:23

I think it is pretty impossible for any of us here, bar those direcly involved, to really know what happened. We know he press version. Mum syas that version is wrong. But we don't really know what happened. Really hard for me to know if it was justified to allow the child back into school without knowing the facts TBH. But based on what I have read so far, then I stick with my nitial thoughts - a new start at a new school would be better for the child and the teacher IMO.

gatewaytoindia · 20/06/2007 21:24

Munchausen's by proxy perhaps?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 21:25

here, here, hulababy.

dh just said he would want the same thing done if his child did something like that.

DominiConnor · 20/06/2007 21:25

I agree we can't know what exactly happened, but would you care to think of a way that making death threats that isn't scary ?

NJ35 · 20/06/2007 21:26

So now its back to name calling and slating people? This is a pointless conversation as you know nothing

NerdMagnet · 20/06/2007 21:26

what an incredibly unpleasant post that was, gatewaytoindia.
And ironically, quite attention-seeking.

NJ35 · 20/06/2007 21:27

dh?

ViciousSquirrelSpotter · 20/06/2007 21:27

NJ35 I've accepted that I know nothing.

So tell us all, what happened?

Then we'll know.

So then the conversation won't be so pointless.

Hulababy · 20/06/2007 21:29

DH - husband
