I don't claim to be an expert on teaching, but being told by teachers throughout my education to 'find something better to do' when having finished work or having spare time or whatever... leads to the presumption that teachers would work by the same vein.

I accept that teachers are held accountable for attendance, but surely giving the pupils a detention (whenever they turn up) or phoning home after school would be more suitable. It seems fundamentally wrong for a teacher to act in the way that has been reported.
