You are all wandering round in circles but seem to be deliberately ignoring the fact and refusing to acknowledge it because heaven forbid you might have to agree with me, that the teacher had no right in law to angrily storm into a shop and demand that the pupils being served in it leave immediately and go to school.

Teachers do not have any authority outside the school premises except as I have already explained. Even if by some weird chance the teacher has authority to round up truants off the school premises, the way that teacher went about it was bombastic and did not present a good example to the pupils or the general public.

I defy anyone to show me a law that gives the teacher authority over pupils outside of school except in circumstances that I have already explained.

Just to forestall a potential facetious remark from garinda - I cannot show you a law that states that a teacher does not have authority over pupils outside of the school. Laws are not made that way.

If that teacher had not exceeded his/her authority this thread would not exist. So all the petty little squabbles around that point are utterly and totally irrelevant and are just trying to justify the boorish behaviour of a teacher.

WillowTheWhisp – I don’t recall that I ever said that the teacher had no right to enter the shop. But then putting words into people’s mouths is your forte so that you can make your viewpoint seem to be the right one.
