It seems rather sinister to me that private mail is intercepted and read by a third party. Does this happen for all 11 year olds mail? Was this girl singled out? What were the teachers hoping to find? It seems grossly over the top if it was to catch children eating sweets.

I wonder how much The Sun paid for the story ? A lot more than the £180 that it cost the Mum I bet.

when I was at boarding school, our letters home were always read by the teachers - I guess nothing's changed there - they didn't want us saying anything negative.
This seems to be a parent kicking off about the child breaking the rules - doesn't seem unreasonable to me, but making her go home is extreme.
