I cannot speak for other areas, nevertheless, I can say with truth that at Tadcaster our Victorian parents of my generation would have been appalled if they had read your report and then studied the photograph of some Tadcaster Grammar School pupils throwing wet sponges at two teachers (Pupils pelt teachers with sponges for charity, The Press, March 10).
In my schooldays, we pupils would have had no truck with throwing things at our teachers regardless of financial benefits to any charity, however worthy the cause.
Much to the relief of our parents... and also our teachers, I presume!
