The
fathers lining up along the front fence of the school were angry, very
angry. No shotguns in sight, but the
word went around that they were there in order to have a confrontation with the
supply teacher. He was terrified, so
we did the sensible thing, and hid him in the toilets until the parents left the
school, which took some time, I might add.
The teacher’s crimes: he could not control the class of very difficult
and badly behaved boys, who had spent the day, literally swinging from the
light fittings.
The
teacher, a slightly built and quiet man, never came back to the school again, and no doubt still has nightmares
about ‘out of control’ children and angry and aggressive fathers.
I do hope
he took some lessons in assertiveness training though. He needed it!
