ezs note:  These - ahem - "teachers", if these allegations prove true, deserve to fired immediately.  They don't deserve to head up a dog training school, never mind a school with young children.  If you live in the UK, please write or e-write the Minister of State for School Standards in the Department of Education to let them know of your extreme displeasure regarding this situation.  Thanks.

ezs note:  Oh, I couldn't help but noticing what Lt. Gov. Dan Forest said in a speech the other day:  "If a corporation wanting to do business in North Carolina does not see the worth of our children in the same light, then I wish them well as they do business somewhere else."  See?  He would welcome your leaving.  

That means you, Hurricanes... Hartford would welcome you!
