A teacher has been banned from every classroom in Britain after he threatened to staple a pupil's ears to the wall.
Nicholas Mellor also called pupils by inappropriate nicknames such as 'love', 'darling' and 'ugly face', pinched a boy's ears and touched a girl's cheeks as he called her 'baby cheeks'.
Mr Mellor, who was head of English at Walthamstow Academy in North East London, has now been banned from teaching indefinitely.
At a disciplinary hearing of the General Teaching Council's Professional Conduct Committee he was found guilty of 'unacceptable professional conduct' and the council issued a Prohibition Order banning him from teaching.
It described his actions toward Pupil B, whose ears he pinched, as 'particularly humiliating'.
Committee chair Sarah Bowie said: 'Mr Mellor's conduct fell short of the standard expected of a registered teacher and was behaviour which involved a breach of the standards of propriety expected of the profession.
'Mr Mellor's behaviour was particularly reprehensible as it involved vulnerable pupils and his behaviour in respect of Pupil B must have been particularly humiliating.'
She said that Mr Mellor's conduct was 'indicative of a deep seated attitudinal problem' and that he had failed throughout the disciplinary process to make any expression of regret or remorse.
She added: 'In light of this we can but conclude that he has no insight into his behaviour and he should not be allowed to teach.
'That said we do not think that his behaviour is so intrinsically incapable of change that he should not be allowed the opportunity to apply to re-register within a reasonable period of time.
'In doing so, he will first have to adduce evidence that he has overcome his attitudinal problems.'
Mr Mellor will not be allowed to apply to be restored to the teaching register for at least two years. He has the right to appeal his case to the High Court within 28 days.

This is what is wrong with the world. The fact that teachers no longer have authority over the children they teach - means they are constantly running scared and frightened of what the school's board or people who take political correctness too far, might say.
I dare say - in the good old days, teachers were held in high revere
and children were taught to behave, or else.
And NOW they complain about the state of the world and how the younger generation is going to ruin, with lack of moral values or healthy respect.
Right.
