As with most schools my current placement has a report system where misbehaving pupils must get their report signed every lesson so their behaviour can be monitored.
In the top corner of these reports is a list of reasons why the pupil could be on the report - this includes 'appearance'.
Don't get me wrong I don't want to teach a load of scruffy looking little oiks but I think putting pupils on report for being ugly is a bit harsh.
The thought of it made me chuckle in the middle of my Year 9 class's mock SATs exam - how embarrassing. They probably now think I'm insane or was laughing at their futile attempts to add fractions.
Either way, whoops.
