"Hell hath no fury like a headteacher scorned"... sometime ago in The Sentinel a story appeared about a head taking his staff to Marbella for a meeting.
The trip was cancelled after all parties realised that it was not a popular choice. Stoke-on-Trent parents were angry, governors concerned and some teachers miffed that they would have to give up a weekend of their own time in the land of sand, sea and sangria.
After the plug was pulled on the away days the matter should have been left to simmer down. But due to a massive dose of stupidity, the row rumbles on. Two governors' meetings to discuss the matter have been cancelled. A governor has resigned.
This governor, Don Evans, dared to speak his mind to the press, naughty boy.
The head, Peter Mercer, should have bowed out of the row gracefully. But the combative Mr Mercer has decided to write to the Cabinet Office questioning whether Mr Evans, who has served as a governor for 30 years, has any right to hold on to his MBE.
Talk about adding fuel to the fire. And to make matters worse, a copy of the letter was then posted on the school's staff noticeboard.
Mr Mercer needs to stand in a corner for a while and reflect on his behaviour. Alternatively, he could resign. Should you be minded, there's more to read on this by going to The Sentinel...
