just jude , sorry but you are almost unbelievably naive. Newspapers print lies every day . Papers such as the Sun ,Daily Mail, Express are the worst culprits you can believe very little of what they say.

[Tilly2]

Where does it say that Jude?

[naomi24]

Jude, are you sure about that? And how is she going to put right that injustice? Will financial compensation solve the problem of her daughter's mental anguish, do you think?

[boxtops]

Jude, really? Every newspaper is biased - a lot of what they print is inflammatory (just as this story is).

[ichkeria]

The Sun go out of business if it started telling lies?? If only if only. Does it take a half wit to believe a half truth I wonder??
There does seem to be less to this than meets the eye.

Is chocolate illegal?
Do teachers eat chocolate?

[Just-Jude]

Naomi, she will need assessing by experts, that will cost money. She will have negative vibes about the teaching profession for the rest of her life.

Boxtops, they're not all biased, the Sun is just helping this ordinary family to try and get some justice. The young girl has now stopped eating due to the stress, this could lead to more serious problems.

[ummmm]

Where are you getting all this info from?

[Tilly2]

I agree with factor. You are now winding us up.

[Svejk]

Stop picking on Jude, you bullies.
Must admit I couldn't be a teacher.
The only good bit was giving the kids a whack. You can't even do that now. :(

Jude, //she will need assessing by experts, that will cost money. She will have negative vibes about the teaching profession for the rest of her life.//

If "She will have negative vibes about the teaching profession for the rest of her life", it sounds to me that she's already been assessed by experts. Where are you getting this from?

I think you're on a wind-up.

[Svejk]

I think that's why you're all wound up all the time. You are, you're a very angry gang.

I'm not wound up enough to post twice, svejk!

Eating it in the hotel bedrooms is against one of the rules, only bottled water was allowed. By all accounts parents and pupils were asked to sign a behaviour charter before the trip it, and was said that the girl had misbehaved the day before. If a rule was broken parents would be asked to take their child home for infringing rules. It is a bit much to ask a parent to collect their child immediately leaving her no option but to do so. Heavy handed imo.

[DaisyNonna]

Have never been in a hotel where eating a bar of chocolate was agaist the rules. A full meal from elsewhere yes. Not a chocolate bar.

[Svejk]

When you go to posh hotels, like what I do, they put choccies on your pillow.
Evening Tilly. ;)

[boxtops]

Oh come on jude, the Sun's not a biased newspaper? - nor sensationalist? - right, and I'm a Chinaman.

[naomi24]

Ah soh, Boxy. ;o)

[anneasquith]

bar of chocolate, sent home ? no .
