政府议员兼学校监督斯蒂夫·拜史佛斯说:“又一个圣诞怪杰差点毁了圣诞节的魅力。我们完全相信校长可以把事情处理得迅速妥当。”

激烈争论

支持教师派:这个世界不该向孩子掩盖真相。如果让孩子自己发现真相,他会认为自己被欺骗了,心里会更加难过。

FATHER CHRISTMAS is NOT real. The world has gone crazy. How long are you going to foolyour children?

How stupid. I can't believe that the parents are up in arms about this. I am sure that their littledarlings will survive the trauma of being told the truth about Father Christmas! My parentswould joke with us about Santa when we were kids but we never really believed in him and theynever tried to pretend that he was real. Some of the comments parents have been makingsuggest a major tragedy had befallen the kids.

Santa is a bit sad really--its often the first time a child realises their parents can lie to them...

I've often thought it strange that we tell children that some magic man from the North Polecomes and gives them presents once a year. Parents struggle and scrape to afford lovely thingsto give their kids, so why shouldn't the children be told this and be grateful for it? Telling themSanta brings their presents teaches them not to recognise the value of money, and sets themup for this sort of disappointment when they find out he's not real.

支持校方派:谋杀了孩子的幻想和美梦是一种罪恶。这是一种缺爱,没感情的表现。让孩子们陷于恐慌的老师也是不称职的。

It does seem a miserable thing to spoil the kid's dreams at Christmas.

All those people supporting this ghastly teacher's outburst obviously had very boring andnonmagical Christmases and killjoy parents. I stopped believing in Santa when I was six--of myown accord. But once I'd found out I was really disappointed and wished I hadn't gonesearching for clues. If anyone ruins the magic for my kids like that--they'll be very sorry indeed.

What a meanie..well she won't be getting any presents from Santa this year..I bet she's one ofthose wicked people who kills fairies by saying she doesn't believe in them..on purpose!

Why can we not let children be children for as long as possible. Shame on this teacher, theyhave no feelings. She has taken the magic out of Christmas.

中间包容派:这个女人也许只是不适合教师的岗位,金融危机之际,应该给她份工作。家长们总能想出安抚孩子的办法。

I bet it's her first mistake so just give her another job, but not as a teacher. If the parents aresmart, they will "fix" the story about Santa in their kids minds.

Give the poor woman her job back, we're in a recession and I'm sure she needs it.
