    Thanks for all the really unhelpful comments and the sarcastic ones. I thought this was a support forum. No I am not 16. Yes I am a teacher. Yes I have formerly left my previous job. No I am not racist. I said allegedly. I haven't actually committed these offences. How quick you are to judge!! I didn't even get a disciplinary hearing or notification. I was just dismissed. Yes there is a lot more to the story. I wasn't even interviewed for the post. The establishment is facing redundancies. I left my last job with every intention of retiring from teaching I am only 50! This post was then advertised as a permanent position, advertised in the TES, so I applied, thinking I may stay another couple of years. Then nothing happened. No I am not an English teacher. Now you have all finished ridiculing me, can someone help please? Lots more to tell but complex. Oh...and the were inspected whilst I was there.
    And it's a 6th form college.

    You didn't say 'allegedly'. You said 'apparently'. Different meaning. From your initial posting I took it that you HAD done these things and were honestly asking if they could be gross misconduct.

    Wait, you're 50 and you aren't in a pastoral role in Education?!

    From what you have written,it sounds as though you were taken on , on a casual basis to fill in , while they arranged something more permanent. Did you sign a contract?
    I think if it were me, I would challenge the 'Gross Misconduct' accusation but not wish to continue in the establishment in any case given the level of manipulation that is administered to the staff.
    Your union will be the best people to help with this.

    I'm actually an Outstanding teacher not a specimen. Thank you.

    I am under the impression that Ofsted no longer grade individual teachers!

    Hmm , `messing around with students in your room?` whilst putting things down your top and making strange comments ?

    Sounds ever so slighly bizarre if truth be told?
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    The OP says they didn't do it.

    OP, you'll get no help here. You pay your union for times like these.

    Is the OP for real?

    You are a teacher, in essence a role model to these students. If you think there is nothing wrong with your behaviour and the actions are that of an outstanding teacher then I dread to know what the 'inadequate' teachers in the school get up to.
    Don’t put it down - put it away!
