To think colleague was rude?

[AvidSquid]

My colleague and I both have children the same age who are both starting reception this week but at different schools.

We live in the same small town and spoken about our children starting school etc so she knows which school my child is going to.
Another colleague mentioned this school in the office and she said right in front of me ‘oh that’s in town name it’s really rough school’

I’m sure it just came out without her thinking but AIBU she should think before speaking?

I agree it's rude, what did you say?

Depends if she form or did she just speak without thinking

Is she right?

Was she expressing a view or deliberately putting you down? It's not rude to have an opinion but not nice if she was aiming it at you.

She's obviously a massive twat

Surely it’s plain that it is rude to overtly criticise a school in front of a colleague whose child you know is attending that school? I mean, regardless of whether the school is like Wormwood Scrubs for the under-11s (as my own primary was), it’s hardly infringing your human rights to keep your thoughts to yourself until your colleague is absent?

People do this all the time. Blurt out "such and such is scummy/cheap/nasty" etc. Always spoken like theirs is the true gospel and we heretics must see the light of their incredibly important opinion.
They're knobbers that's all. Feel free to avoid her in future

Really rude and her card would be forever marked.

My dsis had this with Secondary. The person said to her directly..no way would l send my child to THAT school. Sister was upset. Other persons child went to her fancier school but was expelled due to desperate behaviour..really bad. She was accepted by a different school and expelled there too. Obviously the child had serious issues but my dsis kids all flew through their 'awful' school scoring high points and prestigious university spots. She may eat her words yet. Keep your head up..she is as rude as he'll.

I don't think she can be expected to keep track of which school everyone is sending their kids to. However it's best not to make any sort of comment like this as it does run the risk of offending someone.

Is it a rough school? But yeah she's rude voicing an opinion like that in front of people.

Does this "other colleague" have children?
