Chav names make your kids thick!!

[mancmum]

Anyone seen this in the MAil today (read at work!!)

Seemingly government research has found that kids with middle class names like KAtherine and Duncan do 8 times better in school than Waynes, Dwaines etc..

Some teachers have said that PAiges are the worst girls of all and that the following names arose the following comments:

Adrienne (kiss of death - spiteful, sneaky or both), Alanna, Ashleigh, Britney, Candice, Chantelle (spawn of the devil), Chelsie, Chelseigh, Chloe (nasty, spiteful).

Cindy (always a pain in the a**e) Courtney, Cortnee, Cortnie (trouble), Danielle (a nightmare), Jade, Jodie, Jordan (pretty bad for a girl), Kayleigh (a pain), Keeley, Keira (live in fear), Kimberley, Kylie, Leanne, Leigh, Lou-Lou,

Mia, Paige, Poppy (hyperactive and not very bright), Stacey, Tyler (lesson disrupter).

And these are the boys' names that the teachers most fear: Ashley, Chayse, Conor, Connor (a nightmare), Curtis, Damon, Declan, Dillon/Dylan, Dwayne (a terror), Grant, Jordan, Josh (arrogant, nasty, selfish.

Kade, Kane, Kieron, Kyle (always spells trouble), Liam (always a bad lad), Mason (a horror), Mitchell, Myles, Painton, Rhys / Reece (a nightmare), Ryan, Scott (live in fear), Shane (a terror), Troy, Tyler (lesson disrupter), Wayne (a terror).

What do you think?

Sooooooo, you are a middle class dragon are you????

Home made, organic, fair trade soup in the old vat it it???

Absolutely.

Ahem, Madame Soupy, I may be chav by name, but at least I don't live in Chav Central (sorry, Croydon)!!

[apologies to everyone else who lives there, that's tongue-in-cheek, Soupy knows I used to be an inmate!]

Neither do I

ooooh, pants on fire!

No, where I live has another name.

Now you are just nit-picking now! (I completely understand you being in denial.)

Ha ha! Have just seen this and as a n ex teacher, I have to agree with many of the names, but I won't say which as I don't want to offend anyone here.

Funnily enough, my dd's name isn't here - I thought it might be and have always regretted calling her what I did because of its associations - but both my angelic, bright ds's (an asset to any class, or so I have been told) names are here!

I DEMAND A SECOND OPINION!

nope its true lonley mum - they are as thick as shit becuase they are named so

Thanks to Moomin for stickin up for us teachers. Obviously, we teach each child to the best of our abilities, regardless of their behaviour, name, parents, religion, socio-economic background etc. Just a light-hearted chat about names here.

That off my chest, did I tell you about the 2 sisters who used to go to our school? Go by the names of Calais and Bolougne??!!!!!

Round my way there seem to be a hell of a lot of kids called (boys) Diesel.

Chav alert

Oi oi Custardo! Wanna come over here and say that? My boys do not have chavvy, thick names. Their names are the two on that list that stand out as being completely misplaced!

was meant to be heavy on the irony - as i dont agree with the whole chav thing

I know

Calm down dears, its only statistics
