But on a professional level I know that's not an option and even though I think the teacher has snapped (with some justification) he must have known that he would have been likely to have been sacked for acting as he did. I'm not saying I agree with the way things are for people working with young people, but I was pointing out how it is, and the fact that all workers are aware of the rules which they should follow when using restraint.

Sad, but true
