Gun incident sees teacher struck off
A MATHS teacher has been struck off the teaching register after firing an air pistol to scare off a gang of youths outside his home.
Allan Dickson was deemed to be "highly irresponsible and reckless" at a disciplinary hearing of the General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS).
The Newbattle Community High teacher was convicted last March at Edinburgh Sheriff Court of a breach of the peace and contravention of the Firearms Act and was suspended from his teaching post at the school until he finally left last June.
