SCARED AWAY BY PUPILS
Teachers Resign From School
LONDON, November 19. Teachers are being scared away [ rom a Nottingham council school by 120 little girls with reputations for being tough and rough, according to the “Daily Sketch.” Two teachers have recently handed in their resignations at the Butler s Hill junior school at Hucknall. By the end of the term the headmistress would be left with only two teachers, one of them part-time, to control all the girls, aged from seven to 11, the “Sketch” said. There were no replies when the posts were advertised. “The reason is the school has a reputation for being a bit on the tough side." said the education committee chairman, Mr Albert Darlison, yesterday. “The building is in the town's biggest slum area and I suppose the girls are a little more adventurous than in other parts ... but I wouldn’t class them as dead-end kids.”
