Dear Dolores
You do know that as a teacher appropriate punishment is something you need to know about.
Certain things that the students do, like talking back, or coming late to class, warrant detention, but there are various degrees of punishment that you are allowed to give out due to the severity of their transgressions.
However, and I do not think I can stress this enough, carving lines into the students arms has never been, nor will it ever be, appropriate detention materiel.
I know teaching is a new experience for you, and you are trying to do the best that you can, but I am afraid that things like this warrant myself as an Inspector to suggest your immediate removal from your post, and to label you as highly unfit for any activity involving children, in my Official Report.
I know we agreed to keep our personal and work lives separate, so while I will be doing that, I will also be working with you wholeheartedly in learning less sadistic ways of reprimanding your students, and to form an appeal in case you are brought before the Wizengamot for your uses of Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
Yours always,
Cygnus
