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.

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
