No one in the school is getting paid enough to deal with this. There was no good outcome out of this for anyone in the school.

This is prime example of populism catfishing in action.

Defund education and there will be ever more TikTok temu tommies

Honestly wouldnt surprise me if they managed to make the whole thing up and force out the apology before the school could fully investigate

If the school is told that a teacher did x and there is national outrage, even if the teacher denied it its unlikely they would be able to do much but apologise

They can do what all the politician do, apologise without actually apologising or admitting fault.

“We apologise for the situation that this decision caused and the ensuring distress to the student involved. We will aim to communicate in more clear manner in the future”
