I’m sure there are tens of thousands of parents and grandparents who having heard this story, are wondering what is happening to the standards within our children’s schools.

Who in their right mind would sanction such a potentially damaging prank. I wonder what process preceded this hoax. It surely had to have the ‘go-ahead’ of the Head of the school. Perhaps it had the the OK of the governors.

Who is ultimately responsible for causing the damage?

Did they truly believe the witnessing of a ‘mock murder’ would impact in a positive way – perhaps the goal was to desensitize? I cannot think of a more perverse and obtuse perspective.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t school suppose to be the ‘best days of our lives’, filled with goodness and warmth, trust and sincerity.

I want to see a massive reaction to this event: we should use social media as a platform for debate.

Something has gone very wrong with the system when a group of teachers think that this would be a bonzer wheeze.

The blog above is a great piece of observation on the matter and I commend it.
