Dear Tracey,

I am Ryan's Graphics Teacher.

Today in class Ryan was not happy working on the computers. He said that he preferred Macs and that "PC's suck like a big fat hairy penis". I sent him out of the class, spoke to him in the corridor about the inappropriate comments. I warned him that he would be sent to another teacher's classroom if this continued. Then in the second half of the class after lunch, he was still saying penis repeatedly under his breath. When the class was dismissed, he walked out and then from the corridor I could hear him yelling "big fat hairy penis" again.

As you can imagine, this is not acceptable behaviour within a classroom. I have notified his Roopu teacher and the Year 9 Dean about this, and tomorrow he will be spoken to by the Head of the Technology department.

I'm hoping you will be able to help reinforce with him that this is unacceptable behaviour.

Thank-you
