It's A Bit Late To Decide That, John...

A boy of ten who stabbed one teacher in the chest with a pencil and attacked two others has been let off with a warning.

Ho hum. Hardly a surprise...

But it was the furious reaction of the union that amused me:

Last night union leaders condemned the decision and said more action needs to be taken to protect teachers. John Girdley, of the NASUWT, said: 'When pupils attack teachers - and this does happen - we consider this totally unacceptable.

'Teachers are there to teach, they are not social workers and not police officers...'

Really, John?

Because sometimes, they seem far too eager to act like them, so you can understand why people get confused...
