Advice for middle class parents

Indeed, he thought he was being funny. He wasn't, but his livelihood shouldn't suffer.

Besides, I used to know of a proper teacher at Goodrich who I heard using openly racist language in the pub, so it could be a lot worse.

A steel-pan teacher in a local primary school IS a 'proper teacher'.

my intention was never to upset but to inform as a frustrated teacher and also as a parent

my childs school have similar issues it is not just about where i work

it was never my intent to single out students from my school and by people saying who/where i am it does just that

perhaps the title of the thread was misleading and my tone a little inflammatory

but people posting about where i work is making me very uncomfortable ,

i would hate for a child i teach with long hair or headlice to read this

if have offended anyone then i apologize

i made an error , and i am clearly paying for it

as your childs teacher their hair and your class status are not my business, my business is to teach them as well as i can and i do

i treat every single child i teach in the same way i would want my own child treated and respected

i was just venting my frustration on the forum

and if you know me then you will know that i am neither bigoted or judgemental towards the children i teach or the people i meet

Vik if i teach your children please look me in the eye and ask me how they are doing, thats what im there for

I have hidden responses to this thread, and am locking it now - LocalTeacher, perhaps it is a good idea to be a little more careful about what you post, or certainly the way in which you word it.
