Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

No, as the nun isn't pretending to have changed her sex.

Parents.

Wondering what's next in this long running 'soap opera'?. Does he get released for Mid-Term, and Christmas?. Is it an ongoing cycle of his turning up and then getting arrested again?. I can imagine the brains of the Legal System in smoky rooms saying 'well lads, how the fek do we get this one sorted?".

Are you certain though? Have you checked her genitalia?

He is a good teacher in the same way 95% of the time Harold Shipman was an excellent GP.

All this talk about Nuns and changing names is all well and good, but the main point is why does someone have to be a dick about it? If someone tells you their name, you use that name.

There's a subreddit called Tragedeigh. It's where people give their children absolutely horrific names.

I can imagine myself internally groaning if I met someone with those names. However I'd still be nice to them and treat them with respect. No matter what I feel, I would treat a person as I would any other. And if they'd changed their name to a tragedeigh, I'd do the same.

When someone tells you their name is X, you say Hello X.

There's a difference between a good teacher, and a good teacher ...

Thing is, it wouldn’t matter how good a teacher Enoch is or isn’t, he made himself a liability as an employee of WHS, and had to go.

Now he’s just hanging around the school like a bad smell 😒

When I was at Junior Cert level my english teacher was also the PE teacher, and he was a sound guy. As well as teaching PE, he also coached the girls hockey team and was one of the teachers who always went on both the ski trip and the europe cultural trip every year.

Around 3rd year I realised the problem with him. He had as much interest in teaching English as I had in learning Religious studies through Latin. He missed at least one class a week because he was bringing the girls to a match, except the weeks when he was in Prague or sliding down an Italian slope.

Nice guy, yes. Good educator, no.

Ah, the old "reality" argument again. Suggest you read up on The Blind Men and the Elephant parable because the idea that everyone perceives "reality" in the exact same way you do is somewhat dated.

Similarly, perhaps it was the student who didn't "cave in to the current zeitgeist" by determining who they were according to their beliefs and experiences as opposed to bowing down to an incresaingly outdated traditional expectation.

Because harking back to the good ol' days of school culture was better? Take a look at some of the news headlines this past week for evidence of how well religion integrates with education.

Umm. one thing: WHS, while in name a C of I school, is a school educating people of MORE THAN ONE belief, not solely C of I religious belief. It has a board of management in overall control of the school and the rules by which the school operates. The rules apply to both it's staff and pupils of ALL beliefs to enable the school to operate successfully. The rules are clearly NOT SET IN STONE and are liable to change as humans view on reality does; call it recognition of reality or an education in life.

That is confirmed by the fact that EB is of a different branch of the Christian community to the C of I yet was employed by WHS as a member of staff to educate the pupils there on two topics, neither of which is related to either C of I or Evangelist Christianity.

EB's refusal to accept that WHS board and management can and could change it's rules and operations outside those which he uses [present tense] for his non C of I belief life is at the core of his opposition to the changes at the school. He has done nothing but try to impose his -ism on the school board, the staff and the pupils there instead of furthering his education in life as it were…

Your praise for EB in his immovable position is, according to your post, based around the school being a C of I school with a C of I ethos solely and it operating outside of that ethos. An open-eyed look by you at its pupils and staff would confirm it ain't so in fact. The "he should move on with life" might also apply to you.
