Another nail in education's coffin

The betrayal of our children continues. To add to the dumbing down of education by both parties, we now learn of the teacher who was arrested for possession of crack cocaine but has kept his job because he is apparently an "excellent" role model for children

Michael Swann, 27, who teaches at Maltby Comprehensive in Rotherham was given a caution for possession of the Class A drug after being found with it in a nightclub.

He denies the drugs were his and claims that he found them in the club lavatory. Of course, you did mate, of course you did - that's why you accepted a caution - because you had never seen them before.

What message does this send to children?
