Police are investigating claims school pupils...
Stole from local shops? Dealt drugs in the playground? Planned a school massacre?
...set up a malicious social media account to harass their teachers.
*blinks*
“Some posts suggested inappropriate behaviour from teachers, while others were poking fun at the authoritative nature of others.
“The school has taken the view that this is a personal attack on the school and its staff.
“The school has contacted safeguarding authorities and union representatives to determine a course of action.
“The school was advised to contact the police and pursue the creators for hate crimes.
“These so-called memes, for a lot of young people, are like the equivalent to newspaper comic strips which are notorious for spitting in the face of authority.”
Hey, maybe the kids are alright after all! Such unbelievable pomposity needs pricking!
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
King Edmund School declined the chance to comment.
Heh! I'll just bet they did...
King Edmund School, Rochford, now boasts a new faculty to investigate and deal with allegations of misspelled public communications; presently a source of embarrassment to the Head and his staff. The teachers' common room is now being extended to host a new police department with holding cells and interview rooms.
ReplyDeleteEssex police issued the following Press Release: "We as got reports of pupils wot is not using inglish proper so we is marking there homework and givin out detentions innit."
"Hate crimes"
ReplyDeleteSigh. It gets tedious, doesn't it
I have no idea who or what MTG is (perhaps it's Menstrual TransGender) but there appears to be, from this and other posts, a little animosity towards police. We could always be enlightened as to why this should be. On the other hand, do I care?
ReplyDeleteScribbling "Teacher is a goon" or similar is a rite of passage (write of passage?) in any schoolchild's life.
ReplyDeleteA bit torn here Julia, because while it is mostly bullshit, it is not entirely bullshit. You have yourself highlighted cases of teachers being dobbed in for non-existent offences by varying little shits, and losing job, home, freedom etc. until possibly at a later date there is a decent investigation which finds it all made up.
ReplyDeleteAll this 'me too' crap has a lot to answer for.

ReplyDelete"...but there appears to be, from this and other posts, a little animosity towards police."
Something must be done immediately. Have you reported the offence to your federation?
MTG,
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm not a cop. Or did you mean Starfleet?
Gosh...I guess it would be prudent to defer to your Interplanetary status, Anon. But I readily concede that your personal odour is not an imaginary miasma. It is highly supportive of your alien species claim and one that invokes gratitude for 1.5 million miles separating me from Uranus.
ReplyDeleteThat's Melvin's way of saying "you smell". Incredibly pompous and childish.
ReplyDeleteJaded.
Good morning, Jaded.
ReplyDeleteExamples do not appear in Janet and John books but 'imaginary miasma' is deliberate alliteration and assonance. 'Educatid' folk will recognise the particular intention.
And the struggle for the Iron Throne begins.
ReplyDelete"Essex police issued the following Press Release: "We as got reports of pupils wot is not using inglish proper so we is marking there homework and givin out detentions innit.""
ReplyDeleteGenuine LOL!
"It gets tedious, doesn't it"
When the adults are no longer in charge, the result is indeed wearing...
"...a rite of passage (write of passage?) in any schoolchild's life."
Quite!
"A bit torn here Julia, because while it is mostly bullshit, it is not entirely bullshit. You have yourself highlighted cases of teachers being dobbed in for non-existent offences..."
That's easily dealt with, as it's a genuine crime to make false allegations. I very much doubt that's what this is, though.
