Teacher charged for Sellotaping students mouth shut gets suspension

Summary:
The General Teaching Council for England (GTC) heared teacher Sima Abramovitz for failing to keep her students under control and putting their health and safety at risk.
The teacher of Aldworth Science College in Basingstoke undergone charges of completing and dictating students' coursework, making inappropriate comments towards four pupils, screaming at another student and using inappropriate language in class. However after admitted that she has misbehaved herself, Ms Abramovitz didn’t receive a teaching ban. Instead she was told to attend a class management and planning course for a year next to a Conditional Registration Order. The panel also heard evidence that Abramovitz, who did not attend the hearing, had a medical condition and was taking medication.
Julie Churcher, head teacher at Aldworth, says that Ms Abramovitz 's problems were down to inadequate planning and preparation for lessons and "classroom management which would place her under considerable pressure" causing her to "react inappropriately".

Reaction:
I think its very disappointing to read that there are teachers who make terrible mistakes like these. I think there should be more educational and helpful resources for teachers. In these times it’s more difficult to teach to pupils because of the more liberal and less moral society. I would like to know how the parents of these pupils have reacted on this unacceptable act of this teacher. I do not agree with the “excuses” made for Ms Abramovitz; the inadequate planning and preparation for class. That she didn’t take her medication, I could understand. However, failure of adequate planning and preparation for class does not explain to me such an unprofessional and out of control behavior.
