Teachers pay price for popularity
Thursday, 26th October 2000.
TEACHERS were watching their backs at a Haverhill school yesterday as renegade pupils went to extreme lengths to raise money for Children in Need.
Staff at Samuel Ward School in Chalkstone Way were kidnapped from their classrooms in a bid to raise funds for the charity.
Mark Savage, head of business studies, was one of the teachers who took part.
He said: "It seemed to work one of two ways either they were going into classrooms to kidnap the teachers, and if they were popular then the kids paid to get them back. But if they were not popular, then it was the kids who paid to have them kidnapped."
