A POT-smoking teacher nicknamed Mr Spliffy has been suspended for
allegedly encouraging children to use the drug.
Private school biology tutor Trevor Andrews, 46, was also arrested
and cautioned for growing cannabis at his home.
Three weeks ago four pupils were expelled and 18 suspended from his
school after a dope probe. Yesterday, roll-up puffing Mr Andrews
said: "I'm not promoting pot, but nor am I discouraging it. The
school message is that cannabis is bad. That's wrong. Children need
both sides of the argument."
He claimed the suspended pupils were just a few of those using dope
and added: "I can hardly promote cannabis where it's already
widespread."
He said there were at least six drug dealers still at UKP
6,000-a-year Bradford Grammar School. But he added: "Although there's
a problem, I'm not naming names." Dad-of-three Mr Andrews was
suspended after police found five cannabis plants at his home.
He was also questioned by senior staff about claims that he used the
f-word in class.
A source at the leading school, to be visited by Prince Philip in
July, said: "How can we suspend pupils over cannabis while employing
a teacher who encourages its use?"
