Kids At A Sports College Were Asked "What Punishment Should Be Given Out If You Were Late?"

the 11 and 12 year olds voted for push-ups, well for me in a sports collage that seems fine, in the two weeks that this happened no complaints, from pupils or parents, but enter Wendy Whelan, above, headteacher of Derby Moor Community Sports College, she suspended the teacher involved, "Suspension is usually reserved for allegations of gross misconduct, such as verbal or physical abuse, or embezzlement" said Ian Jennison of the National Union of Teachers, I can not believe that a teacher should be suspended for something that a quite word would have sorted, oh did I say another teacher has been suspended for the same thing? Yesterday one parent, who didn't want to be named, said: 'It's just ridiculous. It was only done to encourage the kids to get there on time as a bit of a joke.
