I think I've heard it all now. Do you think this man has been treated unfairly?

[R1Geezer]

... and tw&ts like this are teaching our kids!

[daffy654]

No he hasn't been treated unfairly,he is a whinger and should be made to pay all the costs of the tribunal.

Baldness as a disability,what an idiot!!!

[tigersam258]

is this man just after money or maybe too sensitive. I thought that part of the teacher training process was to spend time in classes with children. is he really saying that he has never had anyone mention his baldness before.

the guy would never survive in the real world. perhaps he should get that job on that remote Scottish Island with three pupils. maybe he could handle that!

[sandrajo]

I bet you he appeals and gets awarded it, that's Scotland for ya!!!

"Hair" today, gone tomorrow!

Well, he is welcome to some of my lush locks, and then he can pay my massive barber's bill as well.

[I.Don No]

Oh No!

I can't go into work today. I have just broken a nail and the kids will never let it go!!!

I think baldies are sexy. Since I lost my hair, more and more lovely females started flirting with me at my work place.

And of course my wife got more and more worried. She even asked me to have hair implant.

how the hell can you class baldness as a fcuking disability, when in the same catergory you have things likes Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, Downs Sydrome, Spina Bifida, the more serious disability list goes one.

What a bald w anker!

[RevFunk]

Good god please dont let the "gingers" see this article....

[tigerlily11]

He baldly went where no man had gone before and got B*tch slapped up side his hairless head by a judge with some common sense, How rare are they?

[Ice.Maiden]

Good job the stupid oaf's retired.
Agree with spaced.
Agree with keyplus - but not in this guy's case!
Lol @ RevFunk - but hope it doesn't open a can of worms!

[LoftyLottie]

Gosh, kids pick up on and are unmerciful on any slight physical characteristic that teachers might have, especially so if teachers get uptight about it. Kids have been giving teachers nick names such as baldy and short*rse etc. for decades. It's part of being a kid.

The bloke is ridiculous. Just imagine if the judge had awarded him anything. Every single teacher in the country would be justified in claiming discrimination.

[RevFunk]

Or the tubbies, it's glandular you know....

[daffy654]

Kids pick up on any characteristic whether it be physical or a personality trait and then will use it to torment.I agree with LoftyLottie on that one 100%.
I remember some of the names we called our teachers and fellow pupils but most just took it in good humour.I spent my whole teenage years at school being called pizza face because of my acne.lol

[LoftyLottie]

and guess who was called 'Lofty'?

[RevFunk]

They used to call me the snake lol

Just kidding

Think it was python....

[daffy654]

Would that be due to your scaly skin then rev? ;-)

[RevFunk]

eeerrrrr yes lol

[tigerlily11]

I just had an unfortunate surname.
