I read that as well.
Let`s put a whole perspective on "blame" and "witch-hunt", which does include "allegations."
Teachers and carers simply have no powers of discipline anymore, I am not playing advocate on this article, if a student misbehaves, there is nothing you can do about, if a student need solace, ditto.
The whole care issue needs a shake up and full investigation, there are bad people out there, but the wrong people take it in the neck everytime, and are scared as a result.
Who would be a teacher when you cannot even get insurance for a school trip and are in fear of any accusations flying?
One untrue and unfounded accusation and that`s one career finished.
I applaud this article, and in writing this, with scathing attacks on staff being as they are, somebody is bound to asking the question, what is the author hiding?
Simple answer, nothing but my identity.
