Dinner lady tells parents her daughter is getting bullied, gets the sack for it. - Polidicks

Source: [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/8267048.stm[/url] [quote]A dinner lady who told a parent his seven-year-old daughter had been attacked at school in Essex has lost her job after a disciplinary hearing. Carol Hill worked at Great Tey Primary school, near Colchester, and was sacked for a breach of confidentiality. Ms Hill told the girl's father she had seen other pupils tie up his daughter and hit her with a rope. The girl has now left the school and the parents said they were "disgusted" by the way Ms Hill had been treated. The disciplinary hearing took place last week and Ms Hill was told earlier that she had been dismissed. She now has 10 days to lodge an appeal against the decision. The school said it would not comment on the detail of the hearing but reiterated their priority is to provide the "best possible education" for its pupils.[/quote] So in short, a dinner lady told the parents their daughter was getting bullied, and the school decided to sack her for no reason. I don't see how this is a "breach of confidentiality". I've lost a little faith in humanity. [b]Dinner Lady[/b]: A women who works part time at a school and ether works in the playground keeping children under control at Lunch and Breaks, or works in the canteen/cafeteria preparing food for children's lunches. [b]Getting the sack[/b]: To loose ones job, get fired.

What the fuck thats retarded.

What is a "dinner lady"?

Dinner lady? Must be some england slang

i'm honestly not amazed by these stories anymore. People keep getting more and more incompetent as each day passes and i've given up on trying to fathom their stupidity.

goddamn, now we can have people shutting up about "only in america :downs:" on the topic, what the fuck? a 'breach of confidentiality"? what if the daughter never told the father, what then?

only in america

[QUOTE=Goatham;17433837]Dinner lady? Must be some england slang[/QUOTE] Lunchlady.

Hey, maybe the dinner lady actually did something really fucking dumb and then went to the media and made them spin up a nice little story. I don't trust this article too much.

[QUOTE=aznz888;17433858]goddamn, now we can have people shutting up about "only in america :downs:"[/QUOTE] Only idiots do that in the first place. Or Americans, but they can say whatever they want about their own country, I don't care. And a dinner lady is like a lunch lady. Someone who works in the canteen. I think people might have figured that out though

Fucking political correctness again.

We.. don't? Lunch here is lunch as far as I know.

Dinner lady? It's called breakfast lady here in America.

[QUOTE=Goatham;17433910]Why do they call Lunch dinner in england? Whats dinner called?[/QUOTE] Dinner here can refer to a hot meal.

Breakfast is Breakfast, Lunch is Lunch or Dinner and Dinner is Tea or Dinner. Well, in Scotland anyway [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfwKnBYv_CE[/media]

why the fuck do they call it a dinner lady then she is a LUNCH lady because she is serving LUNCH not DINNER(the third meal of the day normally eaten in the afternoon)

This just made me lose double the faith I gained from that 'Trust Experiment' thread :sigh:
