This is absolute madness. Yops on the streets and no adults dare to touch them. Yops swear and destroy properties or harm others and then the police are helpless - to a huge part due to reluctances of judges to put these yops in prison (there is no space left in the prison anyway).
Now, a decent middle class parent wanting to ensure her kids grow up on the right path and we have the system kicks in the prevent her from teaching her.
The school probably sacked her for fear of breaching the latest “Vetting and Barring Scheme, which is designed to protect children and vulnerable adults from the risk of harm by employees and volunteers working in care activities” (implementation now postponed to Oct 09)
The school said:
“In a letter to Mrs Pope explaining the decision to sack her, the school bursar said social services’ decision to place her children on the Child Protection Register under the category of “emotional abuse” cast significant doubt on her suitability to hold her position, and said the school “cannot afford to take any chances.” “The school’s reputation could be significantly damaged in the event that parents or potential parents were to discover that your children are on the Child Protection Register.
As a parent I am despair…
