ezs note:  I am SO tired of this "parents know best" bullshit.  Now, as a rule parents do know best  - but only if they have given guidance during school.  I can give you two examples.  One was a dipshit named Wayne.  What terrible thing did his son do -  who was five years old?  He wet the bed.  Another moron beat his son mercilessly for winning at pool against the father.

Oh, but parents know best.

BULLSHIT.

ezs note:  I do hate to rain on Mr. Kluge's parade, but there is a Christian school in the very same town!  While I do respect Christian values, (even though I strongly disagree with the particulars)  if you're gonna teach in a public school, there are certain standards which you have to follow.  And you didn't. And you got fired.

Good.

ezs note:  These - ahem - "teachers", if these allegations prove true, deserve to fired immediately.  They don't deserve to head up a dog training school, never mind a school with young children.  If you live in the UK, please write or e-write the Minister of State for School Standards in the Department of Education to let them know of your extreme displeasure regarding this situation.  Thanks.
