I hope so for everyone's sake.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-64646156389571551612010-10-05T16:21:34.733+01:002010-10-05T16:21:34.733+01:00Geordie an Exiled FoG,

That gives me some satisfaction.<br /><br />This is not what I joined the teaching profession to do ... but I cannot count the number of times that I have had to do something like this over the past forty years. I hope to retire soon ... and with luck this will be the last time I have to deal with a incident like this.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words and support,<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-70151784616300110032010-10-05T16:16:43.731+01:002010-10-05T16:16:43.731+01:00Ross Mac,

He should be permanently excluded, but they have to follow due process before that can happen. If his mother objects and begins legal proceedings for something like ‘the use of unnecessary force to subdue’, it could mean months of legal wrangling and possibly even a court case.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-9239928702342756722010-10-04T19:57:35.282+01:002010-10-04T19:57:35.282+01:00Glad you and all the others escaped unscathed!
