When I Was At School In The 1950's - 60's

a few of the teachers wore their "trade mark" clothes around the school, Mr. Harriett, the woodwork master always wore his white tie up apron, with pencils, never a pen in it, also it was covered in animal glue used in the woodwork class, Mr. George, the art's master looked like his arts class, paint on his clothes and hands as he had just finished arts class in the arts room to take a class for for liberal studies in the teaching block and of course Mr. Wiltshire, the PE (physical education) master always in shorts and trainers, even at assembly, well you can see where this is going, Lorraine Page, at St Paul's Way Community School in Bow, east London, who is the acting head teacher has decided that having worked in similar attire for 30 years with no complaints Adrian Swain, 56, of Stratford, east London, has to go, yes he has been sacked 'I haven’t a blot on my character and have suddenly been sacked for something I have always worn.' the below is from the article, the school's website boasts of its 'excellent' PE facilities which include two gymnasia, a swimming pool, a weight training room and a table tennis hall inside, and two floodlit hard court areas for football, netball and cricket outdoors, professor Margaret Talbot OBE of the Association for Physical Education said that she thought the teacher should not have been sacked. I see that Lorraine Page is the acting head teacher, in my view she should give up head teaching and do more acting, the teachers at my school as I suspect Mr. Swain also is were dedicated professionals with skills and dedicated and had the greatest respect from pupils, why can the PC brigade just keep out of it and let the professionals do their job?
