Some of it was 'amusing', some of it plain wrong- and some of it- I couldn't decide where she was coming from, pro- or anti- private for instance?!
As she has a 3 year old I recognise that she doesn't 'understand' some stuff, such as that because she doesn't yet know of anyone sending their DCs to 'private primaries', she bloody well will in a year or so's time! She does seem to think it's a given' that only the filthy rich 'go private' and the 'working class don't care' (I must add, it's not her belief, just what she thinks 'society' believes!) AND as for mocking a 'fear of the under 11s of the feral poor' she has much to learn. It as been my experience that the unfortunate kids concerned turn, at about the age of 7, from 'oh, you poor little thing, to 'get that little sh* out of my DC's classroom!' I know that DC is as entitled to an education as my DC but his behavioural problems are now beyond the ability of a main-stream state classroom to accommodate and I don't want him messing up my* DS's education with his constant low-level disruption and occasional violent outbursts into the bargain.
Zoe will begin to understand all this in the next couple of years.
