A Social Worker told me recently that ANY deliberate physical contact with a child is discouraged because of the potential risks involved. I was reluctant to believe her:
Quote:
When teacher Andy Drzewiecki sent a classroom bully to the head teacher he thought he was operating his primary school's zero tolerance policy on the boy.
When the child refused to go, according to Mr Drzewiecki, he took the boy by the shoulder to the door and sent him to the head teacher saying he would be following.
Next day the former weightlifter, who competed in the Moscow Olympics, found himself confronted with an allegation that he had used excessive force on the boy.
He was ordered home at once from St Mary's Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, and although a police investigation was dropped, Mr Drzewiecki was sacked six months later in June 2007, following a disciplinary hearing. (BBC online)
