Well as our teaching friends traipse back to school over the coming week with heavy hearts, at least our local papers are keeping them in the public eye with stories like this from Fintona.

Sorry! Didn't see that.
But even by Fintona standards this is a strange one. Incident must have occurred months ago, why only surfacing now? What sort of brain freeze occurred with the teacher if the details of the story are true?
Never heard of a teacher writing on a child with a marker. There was a case in a neighbouring school with an ongoing building site where a teacher marked the headmaster's welly boots with large L and R to make sure he had them on the correct feet. (A Jimmy Cricket reference for those old enough to remember)
