Last week the Argus exclusively broke that West Monmouth School shut down rumours that litter trays were being used and mentioned there isn’t a ‘provision for any pupils who identify as an adult of any kind.’
The Argus obtained a duplicate of the letter by which deputy headteacher Claire Hughes mentioned there had been a ‘number of queries and concerns raised within the community regarding the use of litter trays at West Monmouth School.’
Calling the behaviour ‘unacceptable’ a spokesperson for West Monmouth mentioned they won’t be making any statements on the matter.
Parents and carers with kids on the Pontypool secondary faculty shared their bemusement with some tales rising of pupils who establish as animals with very human traits – usually often known as ‘furies’ are on the faculty.
It appears it truly is the rise of the ‘furies’ as one mother or father advised the Argus that their baby had seen a couple of fellow pupils appearing like animals while one other mother or father mentioned her daughter had been ‘growled’ at.
Torfaen Council’s Strategic Director for Children and Family Services, Jason O’Brien referred to as the rumours ‘damaging’ and ‘disappointing.’
Now Torfaen Councillor Mark Jones from the Pontypool Fawr from the Independent Party mentioned it might be ‘inappropriate for schools to treat a pupil as an animal or an inanimate object.’
The Cllr did acknowledge that ‘times are changing’ however pupils are ‘human beings and will never be animals.’
Cllr Jones mentioned: “I welcome the response to this example from the college and from Jason O’Brien as Director. They are each proper to deal with pupil attainment and wellbeing.
“I believe that after all of the enquires West Mon obtained it made sense for them to ship out a letter to substantiate their stance.
“Times are altering doubtless and whereas all of us embrace inclusivity on the finish of the day all pupils are human beings and can by no means be animals.
“While no judgment and a show of understanding should be shown to any pupil who identifies as an animal, it would be inappropriate for schools to treat a pupil as an animal or an inanimate object and it is correct and important parents are able to raise concerns with schools, and that schools engage seriously.”
Whilst Leader of Torfaen Council Councillor Anthony Hunt mentioned West Monmouth and Jason O’Brien are ‘right to focus on pupil attainment and wellbeing.’
Cllr Hunt mentioned: “I welcome the response to this example from the college and from Jason O’Brien as Director. They are each proper to deal with pupil attainment and wellbeing.
