Yes, I did just challenge your son on his behaviour towards my daughter, after she came out crying yet again. Yes, I did give her that phrase to say each and every time he poked, prodded, hit, snatched her belongings. Because I know it will piss him off and he needs to know his behaviour towards her is unacceptable. No it is not 'boys being boys'. It's an entitled idiot thinking because he is bigger that he is better.
Teachers in DS's class, stop shouting at your pupils. They are 9. They are not naughty so much as you are not actually understanding what is going on in your classroom. If all you do is shout at them, of course they are going to switch off and stop listening.
Mutual friend. Wash your fucking feet. Just because you live on a farm doesn't mean you have to live like a pig. you reckon you're house-proud and our friend's house is a tip? She doesn't have shit on her walls! Your kids are not the angels you tell us they are. Yes, they were racist towards their classmate. They connive together and manipulate others. Your son's bus driver is well within their rights not to transport him if he is being spoken to the way you tell us he is. It is nothing to be proud of and you need to look a lot closer to home to see where he is picking up that behaviour.
Mutual friend, yes, we are all talking about you behind your back. Because when we have nicely tried to tell you, you have been too thick skinned to listen. I know you excommunicated me on FB after I told your kids not to repeat school gossip that they should not have been privy to, after I reported you for openly gossiping about a child and their situation at the school gate, in front of all and sundry AND that child's classmates. That kid did not need her classmates to know everything you were discussing as she is target enough all ready.
Office secretary, yes, I know you also have loose lips and reported everything about my concerns back to mutual friend. I am not stupid. I don't know what you thought would be gained from it. It has made me a lot more cautious and this is why I have asked for meetings with the staff who actually deal with my children rather than letting you pass on a message which ends up getting vastly changed like Chinese whispers.
