Would a letter home not hve been sufficient? .

even a "have a word in his shell like" over the phone is sufficient.

the attitude and presumtion was raw on the phone

charliecat · 01/07/2008 14:33

Well your mad if you are even considering going to discuss it..
Surely J, mind your P.E will suffice and a Yes ill nag him to the school will do?

IPityTheFool · 01/07/2008 14:34

I have skimmed this thread.

Give the kittens a stern talking to and keep their PE kit at school.

But yes, cheeky fucker is a right cheeky fucker.

You don't?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 01/07/2008 23:47

LOL WW

WTF is the deal with the kittens cod?

Do you think that the teacher thinks there is more behind the lack of PE kit than just the PE Kit iyswim?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 02/07/2008 00:01

First one cod, second one you!

I mean to say - is he implying that your DS is forgetting his kit on purpose because he's trying to get out of doing pe kind of thing.

sorry.

no. its a v. diligent school.

haven't got the fogiest what cod is on about either - i think it was just rude.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 02/07/2008 00:12

Thank god for that - I thought i'd missed a kitten "in joke"

I hope it goes okay tomorrow. FGS dont be late though will you - he will judge you, going by what he said on the phone this morning

TheChicken · 02/07/2008 16:17

no no it wasnt RUDE
iw as sayig my school rang up to say there was acat there
as oyu were

fivecandles · 02/07/2008 16:53

Or another way of reading this is that a tea cher with a zillion and one things to do has taken the time to phone home to try and discuss an issue which is disrupting your child and possibly other people's learning at school. He has also apologised for disturbing you.

The only thing he got wrong was to assume that you would be in bed (perhaps this was his own wishful thinking - I mean he'd rather be in bed himself than having to deal with disorganised kids or their parents IYSWIM). I think it's pretty stupid to get your knickers in a twist about this when his intentions are clearly good.

There are probably lots of parents who wish their childs teachers were as considerate and good at communicating.

daisylaisy · 02/07/2008 17:04

I'd be pissed off at this as well tbh. A note or email home to ask you would be sufficient, and if your ds keeps forgetting no doubt he'll get litter picking detention or sometning. My ds's learning mentor phoned me the othe day to say ds had forgotton his french book. WTF am I supposed to do about that, I'm at work 25 miles away.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 02/07/2008 18:18

Why were your cats at school cod?

But if ds forgets his p.e. kit quite regularly, surely there's a good chance he might forget to take a note home. A phone call seems to be the best bet if he wanted to be sure you'd got the message. I would suspect there is more to discuss, as I'm sure the staff also have better things to do than have a meeting about a forgotten p.e. kit, unless it's very frequent and maybe symptomatic of another issue.

He 'wanted' to meet with you to disscuss an issue with your ds - I don't really understand why you think you're doing him a favour by agreeing to a meeting - it's to help your son with a problem!

LynetteScavo · 03/07/2008 13:00

supastar - I bet you never forgot your PE kit, and I expect your DC's always have their! How nice for you.

Cod, what are you on about?

BoneyBackJefferson · 03/07/2008 19:33

have you forgotten the bit about where he can't get in touch with you at any other time and 8am is the only time that he can reach you?
