Just... wow. Out of the UK... A teacher at the Northumberland Longridge Towers School was to accompany some students to Costa Rica for a lengthy trip. He was sent home after 6 days because of his behavior!!
According to the full story (click here)... here's what he spent his time doing:
- Drinking with pupils
- Allowing one or more pupils to drink alcohol despite being under the legal age of 18
- Threatening to "kick the head in" of one pupil and "kill" another
- Telling one pupil: "I'm not in trouble - you'll be in trouble"
- After being aggressive to one pupil, he kissed the boy's forehead and told him "you're all right"
- Taking one or more pupils to a strip club
- Acting aggressively towards the woman leading the trip when she tried to help him back to his tent
- Exposing himself to the woman in a shared hotel room, although it was agreed this was not "malicious or sexually motivated"
As you can imagine, he's been fired and BANNED from teaching for 3 years!
