Try to bring some form of charges

Personal gratification?

use it for what?

[Nosha123]

Nice student eh! recording the teacher without their prior consent to use it against them!
If you have a complaint to make you should use the appropriate channels

As far as I know, recordings only stand up in court if the person knows or is informed that you are recording them.

[Nosha123]

I believe Mustard is right!

Blimey,is that all? Was he/she being violent as well ? Was he/she using vile racist abuse against any individual ?

If not, then go away and get on with growing up. You will grow up eventually. What seems a good idea at your age will just look typically adolescent, when you're older. .

What did he say? You are all lazy and need to work harder?

My sympathies are 100% with the teacher. if they have to spend their working lives trying to educate people so that they can spell correctly and acquire the basics of a good education so that they can earn a decent living for themselves and they have to put up with people to seem bent on trying to make their working lives as difficult as possible, it's small wonder that they are leaving the profession in droves.

For Funks Sake, get off your high horses everybody....this person has come here for some advice, not moral preaching. They have obviously felt that the abuse was significant enough to record it and if it's coming from a teacher, it is unprofesional.

Personally, i'd start with either the head teacher or, if the 6th form college has one, the chair of the board of govenors.

It might be worth playing the recording back to a few older people first though....maybe your parents or some older friends just to make sure you haven't blown things out of proportion.

Good luck
