Should I complain about this teacher?

[wherethewildthingis]

My DS is 19 and doing a vocational car mechanics course. He is still at school having been held back for failing the year (a few times).
Anyway, he worked all summer while his friend Danny was at the beach, saved up and bought a real wreck of a car to work on in class. Three months later the car looks great.
Now my dilemma is that I have learned that the class teacher has turned a blind eye to the boys getting car parts wherever they could, and many of them are stolen! Not only this, but when they should have been studying the theory side of the course she has been allowing them to spend time larking about, singing and dancing. Now she is encouraging my son to race the car in a dangerous illegal drag race.
WIBU to complain to the head?

Well at 19 your son is an adult so would he want his Mum getting involved?

Ah. which film is this, I can't remember?

Initially I was going to suggest YWBVVVVU, however reflection has caused me to think, that while Danny was having a blast, your DS has the opportunity to make friends with a pink lady who will make a man out of him.

I think you need to be more worried about the girl in Yr 11 who thinks she's pregnant, and the girl who's being picked on because of her accent tbh.

That wench! Best watch out he's not impregnating the local girls too!

Doh!

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

I wouldn't encourage your son to be going with a beauty school drop out though

Don't get me started on those pink girls. Can't even apply themselves enough to stay in beauty school!

You sure he's not doing line with a girl in a clique in school and she's not a good girl IYSWIM....I'd be more worried about that!

Oo, Wherethewildthingis, such a dilemma. However, and I probably shouldn't do this as it's just gossip at the moment, but I've heard a rumour that he might have knocked a girl up. They've split up now, but still, I thought you might want to know...

Mega x post!

Keep talkin', woah keep talkin.'

I would stay well out of it.

He's old enough to make his own choices. He may be hopelessly devoted to that car. Sounds like he'd better shape up and be a man.

I always thought the plot of Dirty Dancing from Baby's Mum's point of view would make a brilliant AIBU.

I'd be more concerned with talking to him about sleeping with Danny's ex-girlfriend without using protection tbh. If she gets pregnant a bit of illegal car racing will be the least of his worries.

Oh no looking
Still even I have to admit, she could do a lot better than my DS !

Yep, they all need to be watching out for that girl. I hear she's no good. But what's a girl supposed to do?

But I think your DS should know Danny is actually 24 where. So he must have failed a lot of years.

Oh come on. There are worse things she could do.

I think you should send OFSTED round. Seriously, it sounds like there are some dodgy goings-on at that school. And find a new crowd for your DS to hang around with. If he's only 19 I think you'll find that some of his current gang are rather older and showing no signs of growing up and taking responsibility.

to be honest, id be more concerned about the fact that the car might take off after the year end fair with no explanation...

[Grin] sparkling AIBU to allow my daughter to shag a 35 year old, casually employed dance teacher because he is just so ridiculously hot?

I'm he'll meet a lovely girl to put him back on the right track, but she might not turn out to be quite as naice as you initially thought. However, wholesomeness will go a long way in the end.
