A music teacher fabricated a lie about knocking down a girl and killing her in a car crash so he could avoid going to work, a disciplinary panel heard.

Derek McGlone, 42, claimed he could feel his car wheels running over the girl’s body in a ploy to stay at home.

The teacher, who described himself as a “respected” head of music, art and design at Calderhead High School in North Lanarkshire, also told the school’s deputy head that he had been caught up in the Icelandic ash cloud when he was at home in Glasgow.

McGlone admitted making false statements about his absence between June 2008 and May 2011 at a General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS) hearing.

Representing himself, he said he was “embarrassed and sorry” for his actions” and told the panel he still had a “passion” for teaching.

“I can give no reasonable explanation for my actions,” he said.

I remember the days when you called in sick you actually said you were sick :D
 
What on earth is an "icelandic ash cloud?" :laugh2:
 
I called off sick one time in my entire working life. I was in the hospital Sunday to Monday. Went to work on Tuesday and that was 12 years ago.

It was when a volcano exploded and they had to cancel all the flights across the Atlantic ocean a few years ago..
 
A couple of jokes about not going in to work and a story...

Employee: I won't be coming in to work today...
Boss: Why is that?
Employee: I have anal glaucoma...
Boss: Anal Glaucoma?
Employee: Yeah... I just can't see my arse coming in to work today...

Employee: I won't be coming in to work today as I am sick...
Boss: Oh... what's wrong with you?
Employee: I had sex with my sister...
Boss: What?
Employee: I told you I was sick...

On 911, a wife called her husband's cell, who worked in the WTC towers, to see if he was OK... He said he was and wondered why she was calling...

She asked where he was. He stated his was at work as usual. She asked him about the planes crashing in to the towers. He asked what she was talking about...

He was at his mistresses place and didn't know about the attack... oops...

Why fabricate a story that is this extreme?

I know. Wouldn't a bad case of diarrhea suffice? Killing some one with car makes the news, that doesn't.

That works every time. Everyone can relate and no one wants you to be any where near them. :laugh1:

I take a sick day off about once every two months, whether I'm sick or not. I need that day to myself to relax, recharge and get back to the grind.

That last ones not funny, but it should be noted that the man ended up dead anyway.

Nope. He's an alcoholic

That was a true story? Or am I being gullible?
