Received an email from the school office today - Read to be a writer - Dads, Lads & Daughters workshops (the word daughters in red). The school are holding a workshop to explore the writing process. Starts at 6.30pm. I think that is great and i would really like my daughter to go as I think she is a very gifted reader and writer (school also thinks so). However it is aimed at the Dads and DD's dad doesn't get home till gone 7.30 most nights so she won't be able to attend with her Dad. I don't understand why this workshop has been specifically aimed at Dads, are women not gifted writers or something? I am absolutely furious and want to write a letter of complaint to the school but just wanted to garner opinions before I do so. This workshop has been put in place by the Headmaster of the school, who was new at the school last year. He writes and publishes his own books that are very specifically aimed at boys. I just can't believe that the school has actually sent this email out.
