A primary school teacher who lost his job after smacking his eight-year-old daughter in public was given the chance to resume his career last week. The 50-year-old man, who cannot be named, was found guilty of assault in 1999 and suspended on full pay until the General Teaching Council of Scotland ruled he was unfit to be a teacher last year. He was told by appeal court judges who quashed the decision against him that his General Teaching Council of Scotland disciplinary hearing had been fundamentally flawed.
