A teacher who threatened to place a special needs pupil under a voodoo curse as a form of punishment and called another Pepsi Max has been banned from the classroom.
Roslyn Holloway, who taught at the Lord Silkin Trust Secondary School in Telford, Shrops, threatened to use the bizarre ritual to drown the unnamed student if he didnââ¬â¢t stop misbehaving in class.
In a series of other incidents, the special educational needs teacher tore the hair out of a pupilââ¬â¢s skull after he did not stop talking in class while she also engaged in sexual-based conversation with another.
A General Teaching Council panel was told that she struck another different boy on the forehead with the heel of her hand in the school corridor, referred to him as an idiot in front of his classmates and threatened to bang his head on the table.
She was formally cautioned by police for battery, for the hair pulling incident involving one of her students in November 2009, but failed to notify her employers, which breached her employment conditions, even though they were aware of caution.
The assult left the student with a red mark and a lump on his head.
Holloway, who taught students aged 13 at the school from September 2003 until her suspension in January last year, also racially abused other pupils by calling them black boy, Pepsi Max and ginge during class.
The teacher, 49, orginally from Shropshire but who now lives in Yell, on the Shetland Isles, would discuss inappropriate subject matters with her pupils including black magic, voodoo and torturing toy dolls.

Not only should she be banned from teaching, I also think she should be put behind bars for battery. What are your thoughts?
