and, its very hard to tell from the brief report given, but it does look rather like the school being incredibly petty and spiteful over the application of certain rules to certain pupils. Sadly they do it all to often these days – far more than when I was at school. ‘Discipline’ is being far more harshly invoked than it used to be, particularly against pupils seen as ‘problematic’. The whole compensation culture/run to a lawyer thing is rather objectionable, to say the least, but sadly money is the only thing that talks these days.
