@miconm This is appalling. How are we supposed to encourage ambitious, capable and independent learners if every single thing that they do needs supervision? Risk-taking is a skill and from the report, it sounds as though the teacher provided guidance on how to use the glue gun safely.

Teacher misconduct panel outcome: Ms Sarah Mead - GOV.UK Good grief. I mean GOOD GRIEF. I feel very sorry for this teacher. gov.uk/government/pub…
