to move my child to another school because of PJ wearing parents and other things.....

[fiftieslover]

Hi there, your views would be appreciated.

My ds is currently in yr 3 (8 yrs old) he is in a mixed class of years 3 and 4. Since Christmas I have had really serious doubts about the school he is in.

He has asked to move schools a couple of times in the past 6 months and I am seriously considering it. BUT I know at 8 this is a massive change for him. He is a social little boy who makes friends easily and can articulate his thoughts really well. The issues I have with the school are as follows.

1. Parents dropping their children off still wearing their PJs. I not talking lounge wear here, I'm talking fullish sheep adorned pink things. I turn up at school dressed for work, smart and ready for the day.

1. Leading on from 1 is the reason for the PJ wearing. There is a very high number of unemployed parents in the school. I live in a nice part of not a very nice area IYKWIM. Unemployment has always been a problem. I have lived in this area for over 30 years and alot of the children in ds class are 4th and 5th generation unemployed. So I assume the pj wearing is because they have nothing to get ready for? I need to add that sometimes the children are picked up from school at 3pm with said parents still adorning the sheep attire.

I have never been unemployed so struggle to empathise really with the other parents. I work in recruitment and know there are always things you can do to improve your chances but I have never been there so know I dont fully understand the effect unemployment has on you.

1. There are ALOT of kids in the class that are morphing into absolute horrors. The behaviour is getting worse as each school year passes. Once lovely little 4 year olds are now 8 year old swearing, disrespectful kids. My ds went over to one of them the other day to show him his homework. The other kid looked at my ds as if he were stupid and said I dont do homework - I wouldnt dare!.

1. I'm aware this is getting long so going to cut it short. The teachers appear to spend alot of time on discipline - taking actual teaching time away from the good kids.

1. In the past out of 26 kids, there are approximately 8 that behave really well. If the other 18 are playing up, the whole class has been punished. This really annoyed me.

I could go on and I think I have answered my own question seeing it in black and white but would still appreciate your comments.

Thanks fifties x

You really have got yourself into a bit of a pickle haven't you dear?
You came on here to show us wishy washy liberals what life is really like in dah hood in order to make yourself feel better about your self loathing.
And look" another of our half baked stereotypes is dashed in the dust.

Boo hoo

Have you thought about counselling?

yeah, and you got all offended boohoo

I also have a policeman that lives ob this council estate. Best go tell him to quit as he's just trash. Don't know who he thinks he is working in the police when he's living on a council estate!

ok, lets pretend its nice living on a council estate, if that is what you want to hear.

you just don't like people being honest

Ah now, well you see you are confusing 'offensive' with 'distain'

Someone like you couldn't offend me because your views are ridiculous and barely formed.
Tiny little embryos of weeny little thoughts that have never quite made it...

you have to defend it because you are stuck

little spark - off an embryo

Recall, I've never lived on a council estate. But I defend it. I have more class and cash than you and I say you are trash of the worst kind.

Have you ever thought that you don't get on with council house types because you are just not a very nice person.
And FYI you know those people you are so keen to pal up with? They don't like you because they share your ideas on council and therefore will never accept you.
So baby girl jus stop hatin on the homies

I'm not offended , you are too ridiculous to offend me

And you know that how Mrs Bucket?

I'm gonna go out and nick me a rabbit for my sunday dinner

Who s Mrs Bucket?

Keeping up appearances damsel
The sad tale of an ordinary woman who puts all her energies into hating who she is and where she is from and fools no one.
She thinks it's social mobility but its just all a bit pathetic.

It was billed as a sitcom

I'm still n bed Usual so can you nick me a couple of red bulls and a packet of fags

I'm still n bed Usual so can you nick me a couple of red bulls and a packet of fags

That all you got?
Cos it's not very much is it?

I find a can of special brew gets me going in the mornings

My toddlers gone to shop to get me cigs. It's about time he did something to help after all I do keep him stocked up on frosty jacks and greggs
