A man has been given a six-month jail term in France after he threatened to behead a female primary school teacher who had disciplined his son at a village primary school. French Education Minister Edouard Geffray said: "No teacher should be afraid to do their job. The child continued to misbehave in the second classroom and the teacher later told him off for acting up. The parent subsequently apologised, however a judicial complaint was made and he went before a judge in Toulouse on Thursday afternoon. It is thought the boy and a younger sister may now be moved to another school outside Le Fauga.
