Hey guys and girls,
So I've got myself into a really serious problem. I've been doing A-Levels for a year and a half now and it is really tricky. Last year (2011-2012) was my first year and my AS start. I got quite okay grades and I decided to carry it on this year. However, my school called me in right before the start of the first term in September 2012. Apparently I was going to be moved form-groups and English classes because they suspected I had developed a fondness for my teacher/form tutor which is not the case. Now at the end of the year I like to formerly give gifts to thank my teachers in helping me out. Now I gave my teachers wine which my mother bought, however I gave more to form tutor because I was really struggling with the year and nearly dropped out and she helped me. Apparently these gifts, which I also gave to other teachers were seen in a funny way and I got accused of having a fondness for her. Now because of this I've been separated from all of my friends and been placed in different classes which I hate. I have gone to the Headmaster with my parents which was really embarrassing and explained everything to them, however they just ignored me and won't even let me see my form tutor/teacher to explain the situation. So, knowing this me and my parents went to the priest as my school is catholic and he didn't even do anything either. However, he did agree that what has happened is wrong and far too extreme. I do understand that she is a teacher and I do understand that my presents could have been seen in a negative manner, however it's January now and my grades have suffered badly because I rarely see my friends and this is my final year at school and I just want it to be a great last year. It's quite demotivating when only one student is kicked out of a group and the rest are still in that group. The Headmaster has been ignorant and I have no idea what I can do... I just want things to go back to how they were so I can resume my studying because this is really damaging my education!
Thank you in advance Yahoo community!
Is my school being fair?

I think you've been unfairly treated. I have to register gifts I receive at work in case there's a potential conflict of interests but the investigation is on me (the receiver) not the person giving the gift. You could try stating your case and be firm that you are not going to be fobbed off until you are treated fairly.
Or you could play dirty and hint that you may involve local newspapers. I wouldn't recommend the second option unless you're absolutely desperate.
What do you suggest I do?
