Parents evening tonight, number uno advice for parents.
If you plan on going in and giving teachers a bollocking then don't take your kid with you.
And why the fuck haven't you come in or called in before.
If you don't heed my advice then youre putting your child's education in jeopardy.
Whenever I have been to a Parent's Evening at the school the children are not allowed in the meeting. They have to wait elsewhere.
Not sure if that's a school policy or just what the teachers decide themselves but may be worth implementing!

I really can't stand bonuses that seem to be mainly based on share price.
I had an interesting disagreement with my daughter’s principal the other week; my daughter (and two of her friends) got pulled up for refusing to play with another girl. This girl is an obnoxious cow who thinks she’s better than everyone else (Dad is minted), and isn’t shy about saying so, so my daughter and her mates started ignoring her (after years of this) and got pulled up because they’re not allowed to “exclude” anyone (the girl had complained to a teacher because my daughter and her friends kept walking away from her).
Me and one of the other Dads went up to tell the school “fuck that shit” in no uncertain terms. The school were really bolshy about it until we pointed out that if this girl was a bully (she’s not, she’s just a bitch) then they’d be bending over backwards to keep her away from our girls, and that “not being friends with someone” is a fairly fundamental human right. They were really reluctant to concede our points. We had to promise the girls wouldn’t get other kids to ignore this girl, but I have the feeling this one is going to run and run. Problem is schools have well-intentioned policies that don’t actually work very well in the real world.
I agree with you, but I think the school was trying to do what you described - trying to get your kids to make sure they don't start spreading shit so the other kid is totally isolated for no reason.
Saying you have to be friends is fucking ridiculous though.
There's a kid here who is small because he had a brain tumour and it effected his growth, the other kids ignore him which makes me sad because in my eyes the kid is a hero.
Absolutely agree that’s the other side of the argument and entirely correct, and yes kids are dicks (and I see it from the other side with my son who has social difficulties). What pissed me off in this case was my daughter explained to the teachers why they were doing what they did (and she’d actually asked our permission before she started ignoring this girl) and the teachers basically responded with “you can’t do that” rather than listening. We also found out later that this girl has an uncle who’s one of the teachers! Which didn’t improve my mood.

Always been that way. It just tries to make the bad dude not do it any more. Theres no retribution.The wife is involved daily in bullying and uses all the latest techniques.
My problem with them all is they involve minimum consequence for the bully and maximum forgivness from the victim.
Typical idiotic brush under carpet liberal approach.
Well they shook hands ..see how we fixed it.
No you didnt , you just reinforced to the bully they are untouchable and the drilled into the victim you dont matter..only a good outcome for the school is all that matters.
