Sir - How disgraceful to read that school kids were humiliated by having their mouths taped up and having to wear a sign saying they were off to the toilet.

This is not only bullying-but child abuse, and the teacher/s responsible should be sacked and banned from teaching for life, if not put on trial in the courts for such abuse.

To much pressure is put on children at school in today's life. With politicians wanting to cut holidays and increase school hours.

Children are children, and need to grow as such, not being forced into being mini-adults at such a young age.
