Hi all,
We have a lovely little daughter, in year3.
She is a very enthusiastic learner, who always loved school and loves academic challenges.
This year, she had a new teacher, who is not the nicest, but nevertheless, We thought, just give her the benefit of a doubt.
Our girl been contstantly saying, that the teacher shouts, and today, she said, she called her a numpty, as she accidentally started to do her writing on someone else's book.

I find this very frustrating and just would like to hear others opinions.
Thank you.

Am sure user is sitting at home feeling all smug "Look at me, I totally owned Blaa, now no-one will remember the made up research I referenced to justify my position mwah mwah mwah [evil laugh]"

Oh, this is the thread that just keeps on giving Grin

Us academics can succumb to typos too, y'know.

Am I the only one wondering if user's PhD from a Dutch university means that user might not have understood the course? Talk about making yourself look ridiculous.

Perhaps her degree was in Double Dutch.

Oh dear. I'm going to have to invoke Muphry.

User, having a bit of trouble (what with the rofling etc) about these posts of yours. Could you clarify please? I won't be such a twat as to bold them, because that would be a vile thing to do, so here goes.

"Context is not key any more than it is for corporal punishment" (key/a key/the key/key to?)

"developinh humans" eh? (I expect that was a typo....bit like the predictive text thing that you're weeping real tears over)

" Not appreciate for a teacher" ???

Makes a predictive apostrophe look quite tame really.

Very odd thread. Nothing to be proud of by being OVER-cautious.
