to be annoyed at some of the parents in ds's class

[FranSanDisco]

Ds is going into Yr 3 in September and his class found out who their new teacher was today. The teacher has been witht he school for a couple of years and has previously taught in Yr 5. A group of mothers announced disgustedly that 'she's the lesbian one'. When I asked how they knew this they said she has short hair, wears no make up and trousers and is! I said I didn't judge on appearances and did it matter anyway. One of them said huffily it didn't matter but it was so obvious that it did matter. How does her sexuality affect her teaching fgs. I am still annoyed

Go to relationships and look it up.
Sure i won't lose any sleep.

People can be so small minded. In my DS's primary of about 200 kids, there is only 1 male teacher.

People are awful about him. Nobody wants their DC to be in his class and they make all sorts of comments about how he must be gay. (PLus many horrific insults that I am ashamed to have heard)

The joke is on them really because my DD had him in Y3 and he is honestly one of the best teachers she has had before or since. He is firm but fair and DDs confidence grew and grew under his care.

People are twunts!

My goodness you are holding a grudge! Bizarre, the thread died at the weekend. You are still putting apostrophes in the wrong place though. Do you have anything constructive to add to this?

God your school sounds awful, I'd hate my kids to be at a school full of narrow minded bigots - parents views will rub off on kids

We all cant be as perfect as you.

Not constructive but i totally agree with you.

I agree Compo but we can't just move away.

OP, thesunshines really is looking the twat now. Yes, look at this: "Some of my friend's are gay". Friend's. Very poor.

hahahahahaha loser.

"Some of my friends are gay", is often said by the type of person who also begins sentences with "I'm not a racist, but...". I think we all know the type.

And such anger as well. I wonder where it all stems from? Or is thesunshines just a nasty person from birth?

Just a nasty person actually having to put up with t*ts like you, luckily for me tho i have 3 gorgeous children and a gorgeous partner so it hasn't really affected me. Thanks.

If you think i'm racist and a bigot you will find your actually the LOSER.

Unfortunately many people think gay = paedophile. Unbeliveable but very very true. My mother is one of them! Even more crazy when it's a gay male friend of mine who she warns me not to leave alone with my daughter!

Can I just assure 'thesunshinesbrightly' I am not a namechanger and don't hold a grudge. Glad we agree on the fact the parents at my dc's school are small minded bigots. I probably need to win the lottery and move away for the sake of my children but on the positive (struggles to find one) it raises issues which I can discuss with the children.

Oh my god and you are a man picking on girl.

for you and old enough to know better.

FranSanDisco - I would like to apologise for behaving very childish on your thread.

Snobear watches in amazement as sunshines drops shovel and continues to dig hole with excavator.

OK, apology accepted

Thanks

snobear - Hope it makes you feel better.

The mums sound immature, horrid and not people that I would associate with. I don't care what sexual orientation the teacher is as long as they are a good teacher. Don't think that any of the parents at our local primary would mind, they are on the whole a lovely lot, well those I have met.

Hey sunshines, don't come over all nice all of a sudden with your smiley faces and polite language. You already told me to fuck off, abused the OP, called me a twat, or something with t* in it.

You can't just backtrack and pretend you did not behave like a very nasty person and an aggressive antagonist.

Then you go on to use blatant sexism saying I am a man picking on a girl. OK, so if a man takes issue with a woman she is suddenly a girl and he is some kind of abuser. Disagreements between men and women should always be with the man being careful not to upset the poor lady because men are so big and strong and women are little delicate things. You're so Victorian!

Little delicate things normally do not go round telling people to fuck off, as you seem to enjoy doing.

You clearly have issues, unresolved, with your former partner. It's not fair for you to take them out on any other bloke you meet.

I didnt apologise to you,snobear.

I told you to fuck off before i knew you was a bloke now i just dont want to talk to you nutter!

Didn't has an apostrophe in it.

'It's not fair for you to take them out on any other bloke you meet'.

I don't.
My partner is wonderful and he would never speak to a woman like you do and he is big,strong and very protective and i have no issues with him at all. You on the other hand sound like a man that likes to talk woman down and argue hmm traits of 'a loser.'

I know you shouldn't bring other threads into things, but I've been on a thread with Snobear before regarding an abusive relationship - I don't think that's at all how he comes across - he actually seemed quite sensitive and perceptive to me. But this is all a bit irrelevant - maybe we should all stick to the thread? There are some serious issues raised - and I would hate my kids to think that being gay is in anyway wrong. So I think you are right to look for the positives FranSanDisco - at least it raises the question and you can have a proper discussion with your kids - so that they don't believe anything they hear via those bigotted parents.

FWIW I'd be really glad if DCs had a good teacher who was gay. They'd be a positive role model, and if my DCs ever experienced friends being homophobic, they'd be able to say "no, my teacher was gay and he/she was great" if that makes any sense!
