We are informed that these pupils in England were given exclusions for sexual misconduct in the academic year 2006-07, including 260 in primary school (my emphasis). The paper informs us that sexual misconduct covers a range of behaviour included in which is name-calling.
On the same page is an article entitled School insults 'useful'. Apparently a Dr. Erin Heerey, a psychologist at Bangor University, North Wales, insisted that nicknames (ie name-calling) were an "essential part of life".
Bit like being in a pantomime audience - no it isn't, oh yes it is, oh no it isn't............
Ye Gods!
