TODAY teacher Nadine Morgan pays public tribute to her pupils. To which we add our own thanks.

The disruptive, antisocial behaviour of a minority of young people has caused a lot of concern and created many a headline.

But Mrs Morgan's students are a much-needed antidote to the yob culture. When she took the brave decision to tell them about her breast cancer, their reaction was "amazing, brilliant, lovely".

Students have even embarked on a fundraising campaign to raise £3,000 for the Breast Cancer Campaign.

We wish Mrs Morgan well with her recovery, and hail the terrific response of this clich-busting group of 12 and 13-year-olds.

They are a class act.
