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, 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.
