Michael Rankin, a technology teacher at Ardrossan Academy in Scotland, told one pupil "you're a f*****g idiot for not coming to my class", said to another "you will get nowhere in life", and told a third "that's me and your mum in the back of that car" while the class was watching a scene from a film which showed a car bouncing up and down.
