'Why I left teaching profession'

One in four teachers has been falsely accused of mistreating a pupil. Made up claims include students saying they've been punched, slapped or even sexually assaulted. Unions say teachers' lives are being ruined, with many ending up quitting their jobs. They want staff to have the right to anonymity until cases have been cleared up. Former history teacher Matthew Wren, who was wrongly accused, told 1Xtra News his story.
