Justice for tormented teacher following intense media exposure

Seven pupils, who tormented their English teacher, including one girl and the son of a policeman, yesterday were expelled from their Toruń secondary school. "As I was looking at those students today, I could easily imagine they would be still attending the school. We could deal with them. Now it remains unknown what they will do," said headmistress Teresa Błaszkiewicz. According to television TVN reports it appeared that the school authorities had hoped media attention would die down and the issue would dissapear. Yesterday the pupils cried when they heard the decision and said they were sorry. The headmistress suspended the penalty on one of the students as, "He was the only one to follow the orders of the teacher". She refused to comment on the fate of her two deputies who were ruling the school when the incidents took place. The local school inspector and Town Mayor have accepted their expulsion.
