Head accused me of running over a child foot and swearing at him!

We recently moved from a naice area - to a rural hick town (it's a dump) think quiet little redneck mountain town. I've three kids and my eldest is 13. 13 years of school runs ... I've a pgce. I've made successful decisions and don't work as I'm comfortable. I send my children to state schools as I attended a top 20 state school. But the standards today are woeful. Think nits and threadworm. Yesterday morning the head said I'd run over a child called Harry and sworn at him. (Eh? Come again love). Shes a hopeless head. Doesn't speak to or interact with children. Would you make a complaint?

Never been treated like dirt before. =( would u send children to a decent prep school?

@Atchiclees

This makes so much sense!

MyFootHurts · 25/01/2019 00:38

I'm Harry and yes she did!

LikeYouSaid · 25/01/2019 00:44

@Atchiclees thank you for the explanation all makes sense now

Atchiclees · 25/01/2019 00:58

Grin Whenever I read a seemingly bonkers op, I think “the spies are at it again”.

Pyotrkrolik · 25/01/2019 01:02

I’m Russian. I’m not a spy though.

FlatHarrysMum · 25/01/2019 01:06

@MyFootHurts

Waaaaaaaay past your bedtime. We need to discuss your dad's secretary at some point too.

Atchiclees · 25/01/2019 01:08

But are you a secretary Pyotrkrolik? Wink

CandleConcerto · 25/01/2019 01:10

So I haven’t RTFP because it’s too long to hold my interest but bravo on the promotion and remember me to your mum. (It’s Jill)

notangelinajolie · 25/01/2019 01:12

The least I would expect from someone with a PGCE is good grammar.

Pyotrkrolik · 25/01/2019 01:15

I’m not a secretary. Or a spy. Or a part time spy who is also a part time secretary. I am small and grey with long ears and a snuffly nose.

Howdoesthisbloodythingwork · 25/01/2019 01:23

Hull does not have prep schools so it can’t be Hull. There are two independent schools which have Junior schools and one school is called Hull XX School but it isn’t in Hull, it’s in East Yorkshire not the city of Hull and therefore a different LEA which means they don’t appear in the same league tables.

One of the parents did run over another parent’s foot in the school car park though.

Fightingfit2019 · 25/01/2019 01:28

Okay I’ve come back now my meds have kicked in nicely........ and I’m still fucking confused Confused

NotNowMrTumnus · 25/01/2019 01:34

People have missed the point of the OP’s OP:

would u send children to a decent prep school?

As opposed to an indecent prep school?

OldGreyBoots · 25/01/2019 02:57

NotNowMrTumnus I think you've missed the point also! The question is, whose children are we sending?

Rockmysocks · 25/01/2019 05:39

Tjzmummabear - unless the Head has the tyre print on Harry's shoe forensically proven to have come from your wheelbarrow, you're in the clear.

Are the nine standards a bit like the stages of fr. Jack's hairy hands? Are you a standard 9 fuzzy ball of nits and threadworms sitting in the mountains somewhere?

notsurewhatshappening · 25/01/2019 05:52

Good morning OP. How are you feeling?

CircleofWillis · 25/01/2019 05:55

Atchiclees

I think you are spot on there. However, if this is a coded message there is most likely a response from a fellow spook embedded in the answers. Fess up people! Who is it?

CircleofWillis · 25/01/2019 06:04

OMG!

It is pass me the crisps. Honestly, people if you only read their messages it becomes clear that the OP is a secret agent trapped in an unfriendly country and is asking for rescue. The final message from pass is unanswered so I fear out op might have been compromised...

Stay strong mummabear and god bless the queen!

CurtainsOpen · 25/01/2019 06:35

What’s going to hurt more this morning: Harry’s foot, or OP’s head? Wine

Rockmysocks · 25/01/2019 06:36

It's time to call International Rescue.

barbiegrl · 25/01/2019 06:54

@Atchiclees but what about the stolen madonna with the big boobies????

Rockmysocks · 25/01/2019 07:09

They weren't big boobies, it was just a very very pointy bra.

Holidayshopping · 25/01/2019 07:16

Did you do supply without doing your NQT then? Wow.

RedTartanLass · 25/01/2019 07:18

So .... is OP taking her dcs to school today?

Does Harry have a cast on?
Is OP going to run over Head's foot?
Is @Pyotrkrolik really the secretary, she doth protest too much!

Please tune in the for latest instalments!

HariboLecter · 25/01/2019 07:28
