Oops! He shouldn't have said that...

From The Metro:

A teacher who made a seven-year-old child stand in the corner of a classroom has been struck off the register for two years.

The pupil in Russell Doddington's class suffered from brittle bone disease. A professional competence hearing was told that Mr Doddington's teaching practice at Undy Primary School, in Caldicot, south Wales, was already being monitored when he inflicted the punishment.

A statement from the school's headteacher, Mark Gunn, said that when Doddington was asked about his behaviour, he stated: "Anyone would think this was the worst thing since the Holocaust."

Undy Primary School

Was that really the name of the school?

That school is presumably the pants. Or possibly just pants.
