Teachers. Admit it. This is a perk of the job isn't it?

Just got dds work home as she finishes this week.

In the bag are some things that are mounted and have clearly been on the wall either in the classroom or (gulp) the main corridors or halls.

In one she provides a slice of homelife which is mighty embarrassing and makes us sound like total wankers. She also talks about drinking wine. She is 8.

You find these things don't you, with a silent shout of glee. I have believed this since my mother told me about turning up at my school and on the wall was a picture I had drawn of her and dad 'playing in the bath'.

Come on. You might as well admit it....

It's a fab perk. My particular favourite was the little boy who told the entire class that the Easter Bunny wasn't real "because I saw my Mummy wearing a fluffy tail and my Daddy was chasing her!"

Your headteacher sounds very sensible CrackFox

On DS1's first day at school the HT made a speech (she really loves the sound of her own voice TBH) and she said "if you promise not to believe everything the children say about us then we will take everything the children say about you with a big pinch of salt".

That is a realistic yet exhausting gap year.

Ds1 wrote a lovely harvest poem thanking god for the craps in the field...

Come on Pag...what has she said??

RupertTheBear · 16/12/2010 13:24

Oh absolutely!
I laughed until I cried over a piece of work where the 9 year old child described her older brother living in Spain to wank for a year (we think/hope she meant work)

Oh yes. My teacher parents had some cracking stories to tell about the embarrassing things children had told them/written in their daily diaries etc Grin

Sadly, it was counter-balanced by the dreadful stuff they often heard too.
