15-year-old 'happy slaps headteacher'

A 15-year old boy has been arrested after "happy slapping" his headteacher in a school canteen, it was reported last night, according to Scotsman News.

"... Bill McGregor, of the Headteachers' Association of Scotland, said: "This represents two new lows in Scottish schools. The first is a pupil feeling he can go and physically attack a teacher. The second is this spreading phenomenon of the use of mobile phones in schools to film and pass the images on."
