91原创 shops teacher Daniel Mark Ofloff has been stripped of his teaching certificate for two weeks for speaking disrespectfully to a student and for ridiculing another in class with a homophobic prank.
The same teacher had been given a warning in 2011 for making 芒鈧搃nappropriate芒鈧� comments to Grade 7 students, according to an agreement issued by the B.C. commissioner for teacher regulation.
As a prank, Ogloff, a metal fabrication and machining teacher at Aldergrove Community Secondary school, in September 2013 played what he considered a prank.
Ogloff 芒鈧揳cted unprofessionally, disrespectfully and without regard for students芒鈧劉 physical and emotional safety,芒鈧� according to the report.
芒鈧揙gloff placed a piece of masking tape on the back of the jacket of a male Grade 11 student芒鈧� with the words 芒鈧揑芒鈧劉m gay芒鈧� written on it.

Students were laughing and taking photos.
芒鈧揙gloff considered this to be horseplay,芒鈧� said the report.
Ogloff had served a 10-week suspension without pay for that incident and was ordered to participate in a 芒鈧搑estorative action芒鈧� with the student and mandatory mentorship with another teacher and to complete courses required by the district.
芒鈧揙gloff disputes the appropriateness of this discipline,芒鈧� according to the report.
In the other incident, Ogloff in December 2012 芒鈧搒poke inappropriately and disrespectfully芒鈧� to a Grade 12 student who approached him in class to ask why she was the only student failing.
芒鈧揙gloff responded by saying words to the effect of 芒鈧渟he wants to know why you芒鈧劉re passing and she芒鈧劉s not,芒鈧劉 in a loud voice,芒鈧� adding, 芒鈧撁⑩偓藴you are never here and you don芒鈧劉t do anything in this class.芒鈧劉芒鈧�
Ogloff admitted his conduct in both instances 芒鈧揷onstitutes professional misconduct,芒鈧� which the commission said is contrary to B.C. standards for education.
Ogloff agreed to the two-week suspension of his licence, from Sept. 22 to Oct. 5.
The agreement between the commission and Ogloff, struck under the B.C. Teachers Act, also said Ogloff understood that if he breached the agreement, it may constitute further professional misconduct and prompt further investigation.
The agreement also forbids him from commenting about it.
Ogloff has been licensed as a teacher since 2008.
