The teachers who took part in the shameful demonstration in Oxford should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Was this a shabby excuse for an extra day off after the half-term holiday?

They demean the teaching profession.

Any children witnessing this disgraceful exhibition would not have been given a very good example of proper behaviour and will in all probability rebel against authority for the rest of their lives.
