The arrogance and stupidity of cyclists never ceases to surprise me. http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/ne..._ride_in_Cuba/ QUOTE: A HEADTEACHER who took a trip to Cuba without permission during term time has been banned from the profession. Ian McCann, head of Rosewood Primary School in Burnley, went on an eight-day visit to the Caribbean island in October 2015 to take part in a charity bike ride despite being refused the leave by governors. After his request was denied on two occasions, the school leader handed in a note from his GP and took the time off, a misconduct panel found. [ .... ] The panel heard that Mr McCann had told a teacher at the school that he had spent £2,000 as a deposit for the trip and he was "going to go, regardless of the consequences", adding he had not decided whether to take sick leave. In a statement, the former headteacher told the misconduct panel that he had been suffering from stress following the death of his father in 2014, and the challenging behaviour of some pupils at his school. "The panel finds that it had always been the intention of Mr McCann to go on the cycle trip to Cuba during the autumn term of 2015 irrespective of the decisions of the governing body in March and April 2015 refusing his request for authorised leave of absence," the panel said. ENDQUOTE I wonder how many sets of honest parents he had caused to be fined for taking their children on holiday at less expensive times than the school holidays? |
