Kids used to get suspended for lobbing chairs at teachers heads because they were a genuine threat to the teachers safety .

Not because they said a few silly words

Hypothetically, what should they do if they used the N word, or called someone a P a k i?

I don't know ..apologise , have it discussed with them why it's so offensive to some people and why they shouldn't say it ... phone their parents and discuss the situation .

What does suspending them achieve
When I used to get suspended I never suddenly turned into an angel

Very silly words indeed

Grown adults , they are at a point where they should know better .

Kids are kids , they do things that very rarely represent the person they will eventually become, they make mistakes without fully understanding the harm caused .

Educate not punish

What age do you draw the line? At 16 I would have thought that the person would know whats right and whats not.

At 16 , we trial most people as minors for similar reasons .

Suspended because senior management demand it not because its the correct thing to do .

Education not punishment at such a young age

You either nip it in the bud or you let them go down an unfortunate road. I have had more n-bombs to deal with than you might think and teenager or not I don’t want racist twats in my classroom

Like I said ..suspensions never nipped me in the bud , I carried on being a stupid little boy ... it didn't work

You probably weren’t calling people the n word several times a lesson

 

[Evo1883]

No , that's not the argument .

Besides , once their suspension is up , aren't they back in the classroom anyway ?

Wouldn't it be easier to "educate" them

Clearly suspensions aren't working

 

[Evo1883]

Anyway where the fuck do you work

KKK high ?

I take it that if Mr Corbyn penned a piece in the Guardian comparing Jews to hot cross buns you’d make no comment

Didn’t he say that Jews have hook noses and control the media? No. Wait. That was Boris again.

So, even-handed then. That's a good trait in a leader.

I've just spoke to my daughter ... at their school if a kid is racist or homophobic , they spend time at school afterwards "learning " and parents are informed

As a first step

She also said it doesn't happen alot in her year .

The fact thats the "first step" and not the only step probably shows that it doesn't work either.

 

[stupot07]

Johnsons comments were racist, whatever context they were in.

1 rule for Boris, another for everyone else. Sums up his life really.

Well I think it does , as she can't give me an example of any children In her year being suspended for racism

This was just at a secondary in Coventry with a high % of African and Caribbean students on the roll. It’s not as though we don’t attempt to educate on racism but I wouldn’t apologise for zero tolerance

Nope, no evidence they were racist.

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another

To be fair, there isn't any school in coventry that I go past that doesn't appear to be very mixed in race these days .

I'm trying to make this sound like I'm not Jimmy Saville by going past schools but due to the nature of my job I'm constantly going past schools

Sound awful ffs

'it's ok that he made disparaging remarks about Muslims because it wasn't technically racist'

The Tory Defence Force are really clutching at straws here.

[Evo1883]

I'd actually say that too

No you wouldn't, you'd say this

Or maybe I'm getting confused with how bsb instills a sense of appreciation for ethnicity into kids.

When you have 2 girls with blond hair and blue eyes aged 12 and 9 .. and living in tile hill you often find yourself in a situation you'd rather not be in .

My favourite line , one which will definitely get me fucked over one day .

I don't care who your dad is , send him round

Had to sit in the garden with a hammer just incase
It's not Finham

And that's why gervais is so funny here

No that was him liking a Jewish version of monopoly on Facebook Tony

Well certain other kids did once say they would occupy the Head’s office and ban white people from the site

I'm not having that about Finham, one time the Marks and Spencer garage ran out of mini pork pies and coronation chicken

A bloke in finham came out and kicked his wheelie bin the other day because we blocked his drive .

Was a pretty scary moment in all fairness

It very much depends on context. Both avenues may be legitimate paths to pursue.

I have no problem with leaders being paid a high wage and agree with Grendel on this. I also think staff in the nhs deserve a pay rise that keeps their salary in line with inflation and worry that there are 400 vacancies which is 20% of the overall staffing of university hospital coventry. And can’t help thinking they may be linked

On principle, I don’t think many people would disagree with the concept of giving nurses more than 1% pay rise.

The reality is, the amount the government has borrowed since COVID makes it unlikely the Government will increase the pay of public sector workers. It has to come from somewhere and it tax rises are needed to fund this, it’s more money out of everyone’s pocket, including public sector staff.

The government are receiving stock for this, but I know I’d rather the government increase taxation in more subtle ways. For example, they’ve frozen the thresholds in which we pay ‘x’ tax band. In practice, a tax hike without the increase rate on our payslips.

If you work in the public sector, you’ll never become rich.
