Good on you for standing up to them
but I think you'll find that not all teachers are twats.

Fact is that there are things they can and can't do. My fiance is a trainee teacher at a primary school, and she is not *allowed* to physically intervene when, for instance, one child is beating the shit out of another.

I also knew someone who was physically knocked out by one of their pupils, and was 'urged' (by the head) to write it up as an accident despite the fact that the little shit clearly knew what they were doing.

Their job is much, much harder than it looks.
