We got caught in road works today. My 14 year old was literally shaking at the prospect of being late and if she had been they are all lined up in silence in the school hall at break time.
Meet the head of year at the gate and explained to which the cheeky bastard said get up earlier - road works are following a fatality at the weekend so not planned - to which I said er no.
He then went on to explain if a member of his staff was late they would be disciplined - to which I explained a member of his staff would be a professional adult then not a child without a driving licence, bus pass or ability to get school without a car and would have some decision making authority in there place of work and deciding if the journey was viable on a day to day basis.
Is it me or are they expecting adult behaviour of kids and yet when they inevitably fail they treat them like kids
