Melbourne, Sept 2 : In a rather bizarre punishment, a teacher forced a six-year-old student to write an apology letter using the F-word.
Maguire Pinner''s parents have lodged a complaint against the teacher of The White Hills Primary School, whose move is being backed by her union.
According to reports, the Victorian branch of the Australian Education Union accused the boy''s parents of overreacting.
The teacher had put Pinner in time out and ordered him to write a letter home to his parents explaining how and why he swore in the playground.
She asked him to explicitly write the profanity "f*** you", which she later repeated in her comments to the parents.
