DD, just 6, comes home from first day in Y1 with lovely colouring-in of..

.. two photcopied Bratz dolls illustrations. She has labouriously felt-tipped their trout pouts, stripper heels, crop tops and fishnets. Oh, and the crucifix that one has draped around her cheekily out-thrust hips.

Raven I think that counts as Godwin's Law

I don't care about Godwin. Teachers should know better.

My DD, now nearly 14, loved the Bratz dolls, she saw them as a punk alternative to a barbie doll. She then went through a goth stage and is now obsessed with Japanese culture. I think that the relationships that posters describe on here and the lack of honesty and inability to communicate (with friends as well as family) are going to do alot more damage than anything their child will play with.

Pole dancing is bloody hard work, it takes daily dedication, very few women will achieve the athletic/gymnastic ability it takes, so i wouldn't worry about it as a career choice for many girls.

I would leave it for a couple of weeks to see what else happens and get an idea of what the teacher seems to be like.
Some people like to complain about everything that isn't done the way they would do it though.

What Hully said - just break her face

quicker and avoids the wimpy and roundabout problem

To be honest I'm a bit about any branded colouring in on the first day of school - colouring in yes, but surely there are just plain 'scenes' ie rockets, streets, people doing jobs, cars, people in a cinema etc. that could be used and then could spark some sort of interesting/educational discussion?

Or am I just really traditional?
