Schools Hiring Bouncers To Ensure Pupils Behave

More and more schools in the UK are turning to bouncers to watch over classes when teachers are not available. One London school went to a doormen's agency for "cover supervisors," who watch over lessons when teachers are away, and gave jobs to two bouncers, one of whom is still at the school. Andrew Baisley, a mathematics teacher, said, "The idea is that it's about crowd control and childminding. If they're stern and loud, that's what is necessary to do the job." At least the kids get to watch Road House instead of old National Geographic specials when the teacher decides not to show up.
