[West Ender]

I, along with quite a few others, don't care about the "legality" of where that teacher was on that day at that time. That's a matter for the teacher and his/her employer.

I am a parent and a grandparent and what I care about is children being made to toe the line and not allowed to think they can do just as they please. The reason is because I want to see some semblance of order and respect return to this society of ours before the whole thing collapses completely. Comments about teacher's "attitude" to the truanting children and whether the teacher should have been there, or not, only serve to teach youngsters that there is no restriction on their behaviour.
