Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

Yes, tolerance is a virtue.

Despite the instinctive burying...

I remain interested in the unanswered question about drinking to excess with colleagues and pupils.

Do any of the staff or ex-staff have comments on this topic? Is it simply part of the culture?

You are yet again being thoroughly offensive, this time in openly calling me a liar. I must be confused, please help me out again Vilified. You said that you informed the common room as to the circumstances of your departure: 6. I did, by the way, inform the Common Room at dinner one evening as to ...

Observations... Vilified gets angry. Vilified lies. Vilified said that he lied by omission to get his next teaching job after leaving Christ's Hospital. (You cannot be honest and say that you lied when you told the truth to get your next job, of course). Vilified's erudition, half truths, and confes...

All I can say in reply, vilified, that maybe teaching was not a career for you. Possibly the armed forces ? Even they are taught restraint these days. This is an unworthy comment, in my opinion. To me JR's comment conjured up an image of Vilified in charge of a light machine gun. Chillingly humorou...

It would be good to know more about...Drinking to excess with colleagues and pupils - when and where this makes sense - any information on that would be much appreciated. As this thread is long, let me try a short summary (I hope I will not get in trouble again). We have been educated on: -Selecting...

Vilified, despite the assault, you do have a way with words. Perhaps you could have considered using your words to persuade the wayward boy to do what you wanted(?) I also find myself thinking about the victim. Did he go on to play in the rugby match that day? (Although his ear was probably painful ...

So so tedious, so so dense! How on earth did you get into the big boys' class? Even though I'm not qualified in teaching special needs, let me try one last time! You must not over-simplify so grossly and you must refrain from twisting arguments to fit a twisted agenda. The way it works in assessing...

If Newsome invited Vilified to resign, did he give a reference to a future employer that did not mention this? Vilified wrote: The boys’ parents had begged for me to be spared dismissal, but Newsome was adamant. I must resign, and yes, I’d be given a good reference. here: https://www.chforum.info/p...

Let's see if I am up to speed: Physical abuse can be heinous or valid depending on context. Is that the short summary? Hello....the search for clarity is commendable, but so is a realisation of the time to withdraw. Right, you have not been around much recently. But let's work on the logic construc...

Let's see if I am up to speed:

Physical abuse can be heinous or valid depending on context.

Is that the short summary?

This is an interesting thread - lots to be learned about the triggers and mechanics of departures - tolerance and minimization.

I am disappointed, TMF. Thank you for your post, Vilified. Sorry that you are disappointed. The eardrum perforation incident occurred then through non-intense annoyance, more accidental, or unfortunate than not. (Though there have been outbursts on other occasions). Context is everything, accepted....
