Stupid Hippy Fired, Liberals Outraged

Not to give aid and comfort to the enemy, but if teachers are determined to try and convince people that they really are committed professionals, and not just geriatric adolescents, they might want to try not closing ranks round every unprofessional slob in the staff room.

It gets better:

A PE teacher who was sacked for wearing trainers in class has criticised the Government for promoting the "corporatisation" of the capital's schools.

He's not a slob! He's protesting against the system, maaaaaan!

The 57-year-old, of Canning Town, said: "Children would much rather have a good teacher who wore trainers than a bad one who was dressed like a businessman.

Yep, the kids are being educated by people who sneer at folks with actual jobs. Is it time yet for another 100 articles about how teachers don' get no respect?

"Pupils learn best in an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and not in a corporate, office-like setting, so I really don't like the way that education is going."

So we have a 57 year old man who's enraged! that he has to follow his managers orders even though he doesn't agree with them. Yep, it's a mystery why the kids are so screwed up.
