It's what we..."You’ve forgiven him?"<br /><br />It's what we're supposed to do. <br /><br />I remember from my time as a governor that we'd sometimes take on hard case or damaged kids that no other school would touch. I do think that you have to be careful that by doing that, you don't just end up damaging the decent kids instead. I remember one (rightly) furious mother, whose daughter (8?9?) had brought home an interesting new vocabulary and some new concepts, courtesy of such a child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-39010640941386727672012-07-28T17:14:58.368+01:002012-07-28T17:14:58.368+01:00Laughed my head off to find out that MY OLD HISTOR...Laughed my head off to find out that MY OLD HISTORY TEACHER is now Sir Michael Wilshaw, head of OFSTED.

Th...Anonymous, mate, you're missing the point.<br /><br />The Head is a Roman Catholic. It's his duty to forgive those who wrong him, as Jesus Christ instructed. <br /><br />The important point is that his forgiveness concerns suffering that he personally underwent. <br /><br />He's not like the Lefties, who grandly forgive thugs for what they've done to other people.Greencoatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-84879786242736689492012-07-28T12:29:46.609+01:002012-07-28T12:29:46.609+01:00This idiotic wimp is in this situation because he ...This idiotic wimp is in this situation because he also forgave the kids that bullied the man's son and let them get on with it because beneath that caring veneer, zero fucks are given as long as the pension is accumulated.<br /><br />Kudos to the father who sorted him out, if there were more caring parents like him, we'd see a lot less bullying in schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-68466773731759172082012-07-28T12:03:47.310+01:002012-07-28T12:03:47.310+01:00The head was right to forgive.

That act by the head was necessary to stop hiim being burned up with anger and bitterness, In fact, failure to forgive may be why many are suffering from depression.<br /><br />Forgiving does nt mean saying/thinking "The incident does not matter" It means saying and thinking "That was a serious incident, but I am not going to let it change me and pursue you for vengeance for the rest of my life"<br /><br />What the head needs to do is ensure that he does not forget and takes the precautions necessary to ensure that it does not happen again.UK Fredhttp://ukfred.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-28638665570245325742012-07-28T11:14:22.588+01:002012-07-28T11:14:22.588+01:00Alas, muscular Christianity seems to be disappeari...Alas, muscular Christianity seems to be disappearing.
