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.
Maybe you could consider that there is only one level ... your 2 levels allow you to swallow your personal principles. I think it is on a level of personal principle that we should act.
