Hi all,
Thanks to those who have reported this thread.
Basically, we've no reason to believe the OP isn't genuine or has set out purely to be inflammatory here and barring one or two deletions we think it seems like a reasonable topic for discussion.
While we completely understand that some teachers may be annoyed by some of the threads on the subject of education, we do have to accept that it's a hot topic at the moment and something many parents are struggling with and want to discuss.
We know that Mumsnet is a sounding board for a lot of parents who are currently trying to work out if their children are receiving the same care and attention as others - perhaps they are preparing to contact their children's teachers, perhaps they have already done so.
As long as that debate remains civil and doesn't break talk guidelines, we are fine to host it. Of course, everyone is more than welcome to join in with the debate, indeed some of our MN teachers have already helpfully explained the restrictions they are working under.
We hope that explains things a bit from our point of view. Please do continue to report anything you're unsure about. If posts on these threads amount to personal attacks, break our talk guidelines in other ways or seem to be being posted by 'single-issue' posters who might be here purely to cause trouble, we obviously want to sort that out.
