In reply to xxx.

The Maltese, in general, aren’t good at foreseeing problems and doing something about the reality of problems before it is too late.

It’s like it is in their nature to just let it happen and take action afterwards.

He comes across as a very professional guy, you know, answering his mobile in class, telling his pupils titbits of his personal life, locking the door when ‘talking’ to one of his pupils…

Telling his pupils not to get involved in relationships…at that age, teenagers are easily influenced… Nice contribution he was giving to our society of tomorrow.

In reply to Dave II. At least two other independent schools have locks on the classroom doors. The doors are locked after school hours.

In reply to Dave II.

Actually, Dave II, classrooms have to have a lock on the door to protect the belongings of the teachers and students when the classroom is empty (or during breaks/assemblies/outings etc).

For a ‘teacher’ to blatantly lock him/herself in a classroom with a student is beyond belief.

What is also beyond belief is that other students seem to have taken this incident in their stride and not reported it to the school authorities. Does this sort of thing happen often enough to make it ‘normal’? Thank God that at least one student has been brave enough to come forward to you, Daphne.
