OK, now we have proof that teachers are twats. At a teachers conference some have called for the closure of sites like YouTube because they encourage bullying of teachers.

So lets shut down the whole internet while we’re at it! I would expect a teacher today to have some idea about how the internet works, but no, they’re still the same old dolts I had as teachers 40 years ago.

I don’t in any way condone bullying - ALL bullying is despicable, but banning websites is not the answer. Teachers need to have a hard look at themselves and ask WHY they are the targets of this kind of purile activity.

If teachers COMMANDED respect rather than DEMANDED it they might find that their charges react positively.
