Possible Victimization of Poppy wearing pupil!!!!
I am fully aware that there is a Remembrance Day thread on here; however, I didn't want to sully that thread with the following revelation that frankly makes my blood boil.
Just found this on Arrse.

I said that I would not go and so I had to face a bo11ocking by my head of year for answering back to a teacher or some-such rubbish.
Any ideas what I should do to the teacher in question? I know it is not against dress codes as people wear cancer ribbons etc all the time. All (practical) suggestions will be attempted I have already posted this on E-Goat where members are rallying to the cause. I trust the men and women of PPrune will stand-by to "fight the good fight" if required?! How about we wait until a verifiable detail is posted before we support this "remarkably cool-headed and eloquent for his age" poster? PPRuNe |
This is a difficult one as the short item in Monday's Daily Telegraph made out. Poppies should be worn from 1st November and not as a political and otherwise meaningless statement by politicos etc.
In today's DT was a plea that poppies be worn only in the week preceding Remembrance Day. I wonder exactly what the teacher said and equally how the pupil responded. Was it overbearing arogance and sweetness and light, or vica versa? I do know however that the teachers Mrs W has observed treat their grammar school pupils with disdain. I can imagine that it was a confrontational situation. |
Just read the entire thread on Arrse. The lad Mazur is doing a great job. Could anyone on both forums pass on my support and admiration? Ta:D

I echo TTH's sentiments, having read the thread on ARRSE. The ball is firmly in the Headmaster's court and he is the only one now who can prevent this from exploding into something much bigger with all the bad publicity for the School and education system. Indications are that the head is handling this well.
Mazur has apparently handled the situation in a very mature fashion and is a great advert for his generation. Well done from the light blue! |
just got in and read all of this. I am not sure i can handle myself aswell as young master Mazure. Somebody please point me in the right direction so that i can RIP HER feckin THROAT OUT!!!
ommmmmmm! (peace balance harmony!! repeat 1000 times). Breath in.......................................................... ............................................................ .....................................................Breath out! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! |
Don't sit on the fence Tigs, share your inner feelings!

I think you can help me through this.....aaaaaaggggghhhhh................................... .........................................................bre ath in ............................................................ ...............................................breath out..................peace balance, harmony, oooommmmmmmmmmm! |
And relax.......now pop down the armoury and select your weapon of choice.....and in your own time, go on
|
Following this one with great interest. The lad on ARRSE (Mazur) seems to be remarkably cool-headed and eloquent for his age, if he doesnt get an immediate result and apology, I would say we bring as much support we can offer to him and ARRSE in this cause.
Lest we forget. |
ARRSE re Mazur
Just tried to find this on ARRSE, not able, plse direct to correct post SVP
|
Suggest you try the link in the first post, worked for me:}
|
Cripes, times have changed. My old history teacher (Though I never liked him much) would've boll*cked us for NOT obseving the 2 mins silence and the school positively encouraged us to wear poppies - though only on the 11th.
|
Poppies can actually be worn all year round, it is only tradition that dictates 2 weeks before etc.... Read that somewhere, probably justifying all those people driving around in E-reg Orions with the grill poppy still attached from 1985...

Poppy Day Thread Locked?
Anyone care to enlighten us as to why this thread was locked?

PPRuNe By the way, rather than posting your comment in my post under the cover of PPruNe, why note quote me and show yourself. ................................... PPRuNe note. The fact that you read an improbable post, took it hook, line, and sinker, then ran around from forum to forum to forum screaming "OUTRAGE" doesn't mean PPRuNe had to buy it. From an ARRSE Moderator: "he admitted to me in PM that he has exaggerated the truth a little and added and missed out a bit.." |
I thought this was a 'rumour' network anyway? ;)
I admit though, I read the thread on ARRSE and thought that a little further digging/analysis/perspective was needed first. |
