UK My 6th Form aged nephew just received what we considered a ludicrous punishment for something harmless
So my nephew is in 6th form and last Tuesday after school him and his friends went to the local Nandos
While sitting at their table eating their food he spotted his head of year level holding two toys in his hands, I guess he was deciding between which one to choose because he must have ordered a kids meal? (I’ve never eaten there so I don’t really know what it was but some sort of toy thing) The nephew and his friend jokingly called out his last name and then ran away
The very next day at school, while in the common room the same teacher entered and nephew said “Cheeky Nandos”, implying that he saw him there the day before…and his other friend said the same thing, and the teacher responds my giving them a week’s after school detention…then when they tried to argue against the decision he just increased it until it got to 4 weeks after school detention
I was in shock when he shared that news with me, to me that was a huge abuse of power. All they did was see a teacher out of school and call out his name, who hasn’t done that at some point in their lives?
