We got another letter home concerning our youngest sinister and her unacceptable behaviour at school.

Now, she is an almighty pain in the arse and does tend to treat skewel as a big yoof event thrown on weekdays solely for her entertainment in between weekends at Creamfields...

And as a parent and teacher I do try to support the school, being appropriately strict and stern wiv me borrowed clip-boards and biros ...

I 'tut' in all the right places and often suggest that perhaps the school could find it's way sometimes to do something quite radical, like perhaps detention or reparation or hiring staff who have classroom management skills...

I do the disapproving matriarch thing rather well...

But it transpires she was given her marching orders from class for 'assaulting a pupil with a muslin scarf'...

(Yes that's with a 'N' for 'SO NOT ARSED !'...)

There has been some concern among academics that children are infantalized even into adulthood by the over concern of infantalized adults...

So whether or not kids are feral or well-cared for they are doomed...

As are the parents.

Can I get compo for walking into a spider's web ?

I rather suspect I could if I tried...

*walks into gossamer / muslin scarf / wet lettuce*

'Owwwwchh !'

I demand therapy and my day in court...

In short...

Justice !
