nadrielJust found out from my father that my mother has been sacked by her school.
On the plus side, as a former union secretary, my father has gone through how the reduncancy statement was made, etc, and discovered 17 grounds for appeal thus far, 2 of which involve possible illegalities on the part of the school.
I get the distinct impression that the headmistress intended to just bully her way to what she wanted. Unfortunately, she picked the wrong family to try that with...we've already managed to delay things suitably so they'll have to pay my mother at least 6 months more salary.
But the school has been messing my mother around for some time now, so I'm not surprised they'd try something like this. I just have trouble believing they're stupid enough to actually think they can get away with it...
