Title: Shameful. Needed to pass this on.

I have hidden names and such.

So the acting headmaster promises the students he will wear a onesie for the day if they raise over £2000 for the Typhoon Haiyan appeal. They all pull together and manage to raise an amazing £3216. The head then decides wearing a onesie is not professional, and beneath him, what does that say to the kids? Its OK to lie, and seems like you can get away with it, especially if you are in management!

I was brought up that a promise is a promise! Grrr! Its no secret Barry, it was Brookfield. Apparently theres been complaints, and now he's saying he was wearing a onesie under his suit and tie all day, do we believe that? Not for a minute!

When he redeems himself with an online picture I will forget this incident.
I'm now in fight mode  :-X

Deal was all senior management team would do it, the others kept their word, but not the top man, great example to set

All these quotes by me can be backed up  ;)

Haha, not a chance! Either he didnt think they would raise enough, (and therefore didnt have faith in the kids) or he never intended to keep his promise to start with, not sure which saddens me the most. Still Im proud of the kids, and the other members of staff, and that the money is for a good cause!

Big applause from ChesterfieldOnline, I'm sure the members are behind me on this one.
Just hope some of the Chesterfield population see this post and remember it. What a waster !!

A good lesson for the pupils: don't trust anyone, not even a teacher.
