Dulwich Village Schools - Mornings


Joylo

Recommended Posts

I love Dulwich Village and the primary schools, but am I the only person who has a problem with trying to negotiate my way along the pavement in a rush to the station in the morning? It seems parents and children are either walking along three abreast oblivious to anyone coming or going, or otherwise children are hurtling ahead on scooters. On two occasions I have had a near miss with a child almost scooting into me. I have four (albeit older) children myself, but could parents kindly be (and teach their little ones to be) a little more considerate of others?

I take it you don't have children. I have one adult son and one 6 year old grandson. I am in my 60s, live alone, and my absolute pleasures are : seeing children happy and laughing, listening to birdsong, loving animals, walking in the local parks. When I was younger I was more at risk from pogo sticks and space hoppers, but it didnt worry me. We have to appreciate that children are little dynamic forces of energy and let them be that.-also is there a possibility that you are looking at your phone ratber than mix ow Wiwatching where you're going - just a thought

Firstly, the OP does have children, as she states. Secondly, I think it's revolting to accuse someone who objects to bad behaviour from children of being childless - do you have any idea what a person on an internet forum might have gone through, what children they might have lost, what heartbreak they may have suffered? Don't just bandy that about thoughtlessly, especially as, as I said, it has no validity anyway. And thirdly, one can adore children and still find it bloody annoying to have to step into the road when forced to by a trio of parents pushing buggies walking three abreast and completely ignoring common courtesy.

Calm down. I dont know what provoked your outburst. Im sorry if I upset you, thats not in my nature. I woukd never hurt anyones feelings, equally. Neither should you. I also find your post abusive, intolerable and unacceptable.

Actually I have four children, two girls and two boys, all of whom have had a happy, fulfilled childhood. I have also been a teacher and love being around happy playful children. My point is, and your response illustrates exactly what I mean, is that if we equate controlling children's behaviour in public areas if they are being unruly with curtailing their happiness, then those children will grow into adults who also believe they can do what they like without a care for others, if that is what makes them happy. There is a time And a place for boisterous behaviour - parks and playgrounds, not a busy street with cars and pedestrians.

Dear Joylo, I support Lindylou on this one, you show a clear lack of patience and understanding of children on their way to school, may I suggest that instead you stay inside and keep your codgerish attitudes to yourselves. We should pride ourselves on the multiple offers of excellent education in Dulwich and the child friendly atmosphere that comes with it. Lindylou's attitude is welcome in Dulwich, yours is not.

Don't you just love it when someone registers on the forum at 17.59 and leaves their first comment supporting someone immediately afterwards! Transparent.

Dear "Rendell" Harris and "Joylo", i quite frankly think it's embarrassing that you've both resorted to bullying another user to prop up your antiquated and quite frankly mean spirited opinions on "how children should behave" in Dulwich. Dulwich is a beautifully unique, young and vibrant community in the sense that it is home to a wide range of schools which provide an exemplary education to young children. Thank goodness we as a community are still a home to people like lindylou, and aren't populated by miserable dinosaurs such as yourselves.

Another who registered at 17.56 and left their first comment immediately, this is hilarious! How many more new users are we going to welcome, Lindylou?! We've had an Isaac and a Josiah, I suggest you go for Nebuchadnezzar next...

Rendel Harris since you have clearly failed to put together a coherent argument that disproves mine, you have once again resorted to bullying tactics used against Lindylou and now myself, one must wonder what else you are capable of bar bullying people on social media forums!

Hi "Rendell" Harris - The fact that this post has been brought to my attention recently does not impact in the slightest my right to pass comment. All you do by responding in this manner is render your own views yet more futile. Why don't you consider the fact that you've reacted outrageously to a perfectly reasonable response - embarrassing.

At least I'm using my own name (which is Rendel, by the way) and only one ID.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
