"Baldness not an imhairment"

It's a psychological problem that guy has. If he'd learned to smile and not let it get to him, the kids wouldn't have harrased him as much.

Obviously he's just over sensitive about it - and to today's youngsters, who have zero mercy, that's just asking for trouble.

I think he also had a big nose.

Baldness is no big deal unless you let it be. But if I had some obvious massive physical weirdness I wouldn't want to become a teacher.

We gave our teachers constant hell, and most of them were physically quite normal.

You have to learn to take a joke. If I was a teacher and the kids called me baldy, i'd laugh then punch them in the face.

agree with both

banja and Gillwibble.

There was one teacher at our old school who was utterly ripped to shreds by kids in class all the time. She was a nervous wreck. And thats in the days before PC madness. Who'd be a teacher nowadays ehh?

Maybe he should be compensated for being Scottish !!

You don't compensate people for being fortunate in life, it goes against the principles of compensation.

Glad this case has been decided this way though, it quite clearly has nothing to do with disability. If however he'd brought the case as victimisation with the school failing in their duty to protect him from workplace harrassment then he might have had a slightly better legal base although I doubt the overall result would have been any different.
