[Serenity788]

Letting interfeerring people try to give me parenting advice when they see my ds howling ('invisable disability') because I look young and smiling and telling them he isn't being naughty it's just because 'x' and that I have a degree in early years and teach 45 4 year olds in my class. And watch them mumble something about ds being cute and shuffle off...

I probably am.... But I hate starers... Anyone else got any funny starer stories?

Like you said there are plenty of dyslexic teachers. I got my degree, I teach to a very high standard and find your messages insulting. I have reported and will take these messages into school and see. It's people like you judging other people that gets on my neves. You obviously think you are better than me because you spell check your forum posts. People who have to try harder aren't any less than you. In fact people who have to try work so hard. Needless to say I have to text type these messages on my phone lol.

I don't think I have to point this out as I have shown many people your messges and they believe I should complain higher of nothing is done.

Your entitled to your oppinions but to keep personally attacking someone else over it is unacceptable and the behaviour you would expect of a teenager.

Nerves. I appoloise for another typo. Obviously you will pick up on it and be horrible again.

Good luck with that one :)

(and there's still only one 'p' in opinion)

what a strange lot you are!!!!!

I use punctuation in texts too Jaja, to the point of making sure I leave 2 spaces between a full stop and the start of the next sentence! I fully appreciate I am being anal in that respect btw ...

Text speak makes my eyes bleed but I understand the logic of it in terms of maximising use of characters when texting.

Am I pedantic? Damn right I am. I love the English language and it galls me to see crap spelling and grammar from someone who is a teacher and has a degree.

It's not the OP's fault if her teachers were equally as bad at spelling as they have to bear the responsibility for her education. No excuse to pass that onto the next generation of learners though.

Having said all that it wasn't Serenity/Hanaka's spelling that annoyed me last night it was the repeated denial that she used two IDs on this thread. Bad spelling can be excused, lying through your teeth is a different matter.

< hoiks up judgy pants to chin level and stares at OP >

This thread is utterly surreal

Nah they were delivered in my veg box [middle class ethical shopper emotion ] but I am finding this entire thread so bizarre it must be some sort of halluconegenic experience (or maybe some people are just a WEE bit odd)

It's quite natural to look over when a child is crying, and when people do it to me and my DD I would be as likely to assume they were looking on with concern or sympathy as judgement. So I think your comments to them (if indeed you do say all that stuff) would come across as quite rude. That night explain why people are being rude to you on here, in a reap what you sow sort of a way.

I did start to suspect that

cashmeregoat

Exactly.

Even if the OPs spelling/grammar had been perfect and she wasn't telling porkies about her other ID then people would have still told her she was BU.

On another thread she said she remarks to people "do you always stare at disabled children" because her DS is 4 and still uses a buggy. How on earth is anyone supposed to guess that her son is disabled as she says in her OP that it's an 'invisable (sic) disability'.

Perhaps it would be better to gently point out to them that he is disabled instead of flying off the handle in such a rude manner.

I think some people just like to pick a fight. They could start an argument locked i a dark room alone.

Guilty as charged m'lud

But I can be nice and fluffy too when the mood takes me ...

The begining of this thread reads like my 12 year old cousins chat on face book! I have never seen so much LOLing HAHAing, LMAOing ROFLing in all my days. The spelling and grammer is dreadful, made reading quite difficult. Are you an actual teacher? or just one of the moms who helps out on school trips? I'm shocked.

Also the obvious bragging and exaggeration, (not to mention the outright lies!) are quite childish. Please tell me you're not a teacher [shocked]

... or even

LOL makes my teeth itch. I develop this homicidal urge whenever I come across it

The spelling and grammer is dreadful,

grammar

Oooh - having a degree and your job - does that really make your an expert on kids?

Okay, nice and fluffy me on the thread now.

The point of the OP is people being judgemental of situations where they don't have the full background (i.e. DS has SN). People are programmed to judge situations (for danger etc.) and they can only judge on the information presented to them.

This is something that is taught on Diversity Awareness courses and the following situation was given to us:

A number of people are stuck in the bottom of a well. The well is collapsing and there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to get out so who should go up the escape rope first? A few of the examples were:

Teenage boy who has been drinking.
Elderly man with a serious heart condition who needs regular medication or he will die.
24 year old Nurse.

All of us said to get the teenager who has been drinking out because drunk people can be violent/hysterical etc if they panic which would make things worse. The Nurse should remain to help anyone who has been injured by collapsing rubble. The elderly man should go out first because of his life-and-death need for his medication.

Then we were given more info about the people.

The teenage boy had indeed been drinking - orange juice. He has a first aid certificate.
The Nurse has a knife and is threatening to kill everyone unless she is allowed out first.
The elderly man is a GP who has a weeks worth of his meds with him.

Of course our opinion changed once presented with the full facts however the course leader said it was perfectly natural to make judgements based on the limited information available to us.

Unless the OP is going to get her DS's medical history tattooed on his forehead then she should keep her temper in check and politely 'educate' people about her son.
