ooooh. a posh kids vs commoner types dispute!

[DameHermione]

DD does tennis. The courts belong to the posh public school and the tennis club rents them for lessons/games etc as the town doesn't have courts for us commoners.

DD has just phoned me to tell me the posh kids are refusing to leave and the teacher is taking them on.

I hope it doesn't end in fisticuffs.

I know i'm not unreasonable at all but as we all love a private vs state controversy i decided this would be the ideak place for it.

Off you go.......

[Pandemoniaa]

In my experience (other side of the posh fence) the commoners need to be aware that the posh girls will not play nicely. Underhand methods may be needed to get them off the courts and into the hedge....

[SunflowersSmile]

Keep us updated!!

[Sparklingbrook]

But I thought all children at public school were impeccably behaved? So it can't be true.

[ImperialBlether]

What do you mean, the teacher is taking them on?

Your DD should film the schoolchildren who are refusing to leave and you should email the film to their headteacher.

[cheesesarnie]

yabu for encouraging your dd to be classist.

your post looks to be like you don't feel that good about yourself and hints at jealousy tbh

[DameHermione]

Ah i shall text her and suggest the filming.

I'm imagining a pitched battle involving fencing foils, lacrosse sticks and tennis bats.

[SunflowersSmile]

If they are not supposed to be on court they should do as they are told and let 'commoners' have their slot.
Should be reported to their school for bad behaviour.

[thebestisyettocome]

Why is this a posh kids versus common kids issue?
Are the kids fighting each other

[DameHermione]

Class has nothing to do with what school you go to. Its all about attitude. I'll be passing that on to her.

[LadySybilDeChocolate]

'Posh kids'? Being at a private school doesn't make them 'posh'.

[Mrsjay]

I dont get it ? do you mean the posh kids are being confrontational because they cant use the court Our area is very mixed and the posh kids are lovely my dd goes about with some private school kids and they really are just normal teenagers maybe a bit richer thats all ,

[SunflowersSmile]

Perhaps 'posh' kids claiming ownership of said tennis court?

[pinkpyjamas]

Perhaps the 'posh kids' are actually pupils from one of the other 'commoner' schools that pay to sample a little of the wonder that is a bit of flat concrete with a net on it?

[DameHermione]

They might not be fighting each other. Yet.

Money doesn't give you class. Look at me! I'm brassic yet almost aristocracy.

[Sparklingbrook]

My son doesn't attend private school but if a teacher told him to leave the tennis court he would, especially if other children were waiting.

[Mrsjay]

I should have put my Posh kids in some sort of "comma" should i have cos they really are not posh at all ,

[DameHermione]

I shall add in here a few SIOBs an s

[Whoopydofoxpoo]

SCRAP !

as we used to shout at common comprehensive school

[CountryMouse27]

Actually cheese it sounds like the posh school are being classist, by deliberately holding up the kids who they know perfectly well have as much right there as the council are paying for hire. They're making the point, not the OP or her DD.

You sound a bit defensive tbh.

[DameHermione]

Oh yes. Form a big circle everyone. Then the teachers wont see

[SunflowersSmile]

'Bundle' is what was shouted at our comp before some poor bugger totally flattened by half the school.

[Mrsjay]

The boys at dds high school cause constant rammys (scottish fight ) when people try and use the playing courts ,

What does SIOB mean i am genuinley lost I think i wil leave the thread not till i know what SIOB means though

[TheOneWithTheHair]

But the teacher is already getting stuck in DameHermione

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Actually private school does mean often that you are posh.

[sairygamp]

snotty kids are snotty kids whether they're at eton or bash street. Manners are what are important and respect for other people. I've found both lacking in all sorts of youngsters, and also both to be found. Just sayin'.
