Criticism
In September 2007, six pupils were suspended and one permanently excluded after smoking cannabis at the school. The pupils involved were aged between 11 and 16 and three of them had to be taken to hospital after overdosing on the drug within school grounds. Head teacher Anthony McNamara commented "The matter has been reported to the police and the school is now taking disciplinary action against all the pupils concerned. "

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
