Teacher Banned Indefinitely After Slapping Student for Laughing in ClassPreviousNext

A 35-year-old teacher in Hampshire, England, has been banned indefinitely from teaching after slapping a student in February 2024. The student had laughed when a classmate struggled to answer a question. Multiple students corroborated the account, with CCTV footage also supporting the claims. An internal investigation found the teacher guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. The panel noted limited remorse and a lack of insight into the severity of his actions, leading to the ban.
