Sadly though it seems that arguments and differences can no longer stay in the pub. If there are any lessons to be learned here then perhaps this is one "Don't mix your work with drink, the two should never meet!"

Well, not everyone has the choice of taking their pension yet. If I didn't have to work I wouldn't either as I expect most people wouldn't. You cantankerous old git. :rotfl:

Not as hard as all those teachers who start sexual relationships with children, hit them and run off with the school fund.
In the grand scheme of things its not brilliant but nothing compared to what some teachers get upto.
Bullying within teaching profession is absolutley rife and many teachers leave under a CA, the O.P may be best off out of it anyway.

Goodness what a distressing views.

If you can pour drinks over someone is a pub, i am very glad you arena nowhere near my children.
This is one of the problems with having so many relatively unskilled and ill educated people appointed to teaching assistant roles. While many TAs are graduates or at least have maturity and common sense, some others are expected to behave in a professional manner that is sometimes beyond them. This reflects badly on the teaching profession of which they are not members and which is already increasingly villified in the public view. Not @ you in particular OP and I hope you get a good outcome.
This is just the role model that we all dread for our kids.

Learn form it, and if you are incredibly lucky enough to get a new job somewhere else, think of consequences before acting.

TBH I dont care what happened on the evening in question but I do think the op should make a realistic appraisal of the situation. If any hearing is going to degenerate into a mud slinging contest with little regard to the facts and if much of the mud is going to cling to the op then the taxpayer should not be forking out for a hearing and the honourable thing to do is fall on one's sword

In what way is the taxpayer 'forking out for a hearing'?

This is an internal hearing by an employer, pursuant to the employee's contract of employment, to determine the facts of what happened, and to decide what action should be taken by the employer.

I sense a slight troll-infestation taking place on this thread, which is a great pity as much of the advice on the first couple of pages is really good.

As it all relates back to an inappropriate, somewhat inebriated, (and presumably conducted at a loud volume) conversation in a public place is there a likelihood that some parents of children at the school in question may have also been customers in the pub at the time?

I don't have children but, if I did, I'd be mortified to think that they and/or their classmates were being gossiped about in a pub.

Sorry, OP, I do wish you well, but I'm sure the Headteacher wouldn't be spending time on looking into the issue if it was a simple he said/she said petty squabble.

I used to work at a school but even when I've had a few drinks it's still possible to keep schtum about pupils and their concerns (and anything else that's confidential).

Presumably the employer - being a school - is paid for by the taxpayer...would be my take on it.
