It's rare to find a teacher that is so well liked by the student body. Accidents happen, it wasn't malicious. Give the man the second chance that he deserves to teach.

We have dozens of laws whose lack of efficacy has been apparent from the outset, which were introduced simply to make a political point and not to make anyone's life better or simpler. Accident happens and don't take good teachers away from the young people who are benefiting.

If the pupils want him back, that shows he is a good & popular teacher. The 'shooting' was an accident!

He deserves to be where he belongs doing what he does best, which is definitely teaching at school!

Reverse this disgraceful decision and hang your heads in shame. It is teachers like this that make education and learning interesting, fun and most of all, rewarding. He clearly has the respect of his peers and his pupils, and that speaks volumes. If the 'furious' parent quoted in the press is so convinced that Mr West was so thoroughly irresponsible in his actions, why is he not prepared to reveal his identity? If the crime was so heinous as to justify destroying an admired and respected teacher's career, at least have the guts to reveal your identity.

Disgraceful decision. Mr West needs to be reinstated. I trust the values of courage and forgiveness will be followed, after all they are quoted in the school's Mission Statement!

Sacking the best teacher at st peters for something like this is pathetic to say the least. If the school are going to deny students the opportunity to be taught by a man who loves his job and is brilliant at it is a disgrace and the board or whoever is responsible need to take their heads out of their own arses and reinstate possibly the best teacher that has ever lived.
