To speak to the school?

[Orchwoid]

I've just been to collect my son from his school and he's told me that he won't be cast in his school Christmas play but all the other children will.

I am fumming. I am going to go and speak to his teacher first thing tomorrow morning but I am so angry that I can't work out whether I'm being reasonable or not.

Yup, as I thought. Some people in general, not the OP you understand of course, oh no not her no siree, really are that stupid.

If she goes into school with that attitude she doesn't deserve a minute of any teacher's time.

Hanging, you are freaking AWESOME!!

sparkle perhaps the person in charge
at MNHQ this morning will trust you to be sufficiently adult and intelligent to understand and comply with the guidelines.

Oh sparkle you norty norty girl!

Sparkle

I think OP will be leaving the head's office with her arse in her hand, cloudy or not.

Having just looked at my arse in my running leggings, I think I'm going to need a considerably bigger cover...

Sorry, nothing to add, other than I've woken the dogs up from laughing so much...

Hanging, just fantastic...

As you were...

Oh DO come back and tell us what the Head said, won't you OP?

I think Louise meant Netmums too. Or she is sparkle

:)

Hanging that is a great poem .

Clouds out of arses- what an alarming phrase. Piles, farts or perhaps an obscure reference to buttocks on show over trousers?

MN is giving me a stomach and cheek muscle workout this morning!!!

Sorry for posting about another thread but it emerges that following my request on site stuff for a fumming emoticon that fumming has an altogether different meaning entirely. I hope OP isn't still fumming when she goes into school.

There would be more than clouds coming out of her arse!

Is it wrong to hope that OP's son gets cast as the baby Jesus?

OP - seriously. Please Don't go into the school complaining and full of indignation. Go in and simply say:

"I feel there has been a mis-understanding. Although I am not happy for my child to take part in religious assemblies, I am quite happy for him to take part in other Christmas/Easter activities, including a Christmas nativity with religious themed songs. I did not realise you would interpret withdrawing from assembly to mean withdrawing from the Christmas play."

tbh The school will probably be thankful as it is a real pain for them to manage a single child whilst the rest of the class/year/school are preparing for a play.

If you go in all guns blazing you will annoy them, as they really will believe they are following your wishes by him not being involved. You really don't want to destroy your working relationship with the school over a misunderstanding.

Brilliant, hanging

Do please come back and let us know how the meeting with the headteacher went, won't you Orchwoid

It's at times like this that one realises how very difficult a head teacher's job is.

3bunnies perhaps Always would be beneficial other jizz absorption products are available

whilst your with the head I would discuss what else you have excluded your ds from. There's a boy in my ds class who is a JW who doesn't make any Christmas decorations etc, I think you'll find your child won't be either. Personally I don't think you can have it both way. Let us know how the meeting goes.

where's the op ?

Do u not think op if so many people think you are wrong then you may need to reassess?

Best thread ever!

The school will prob just do what op says jyst to svoid the arguement
