I have deliberately tried to keep politics out of the blog, for several reasons. I think the main one being that I tend to get a little "Ranty 6th form" when I write about it. The Knox case has made me cross. Not in the justice/injustice angle, but the press reaction, the the following reaction from the feeble minded readers. I understand that the Daily Mail is awful, and that there is little that can be done about it. I also understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how pathetic their logic might be. What I strongly object to is the use of conjecture based on nothing resembling evidence being used as a basis for a rant. I don't wish to start internet arguments with anyone...I have enjoyed that peculiar pleasure on many occasions over the years, and it does little for my blood pressure or my state of mind. However, there is one little old lady who posts regular updates from the Daily Mail on my timeline on Facebook. I know, dear reader, I can hear you saying it now...."Ignore her"....But I am struggling...Save me from myself.
We had parents evening for youngest this evening. Those of you who have read the blog for any length of time will remember the problems we had with getting an acceptance that there was a problem with Dyslexia. Well the problems clearly continue, and we are proud of her approach. We were less than happy to find out however, that the School has not been doing what it is obliged to do under the SEN Code of Conduct. This was pointed out, politely I might add, to her teachers last night. I hope that remedial action is now taken, and was pleased to receive a genuine apology. I suspect that we are the schools worst nightmare. The combination of Mrs Plug and her recent knowledge of Educational practice, and my bloody minded and belligerent (But VERY polite) approach. I think they were relieved when we had left.
