Enough is Enough

All that seems to matter to headteachers at the minute is their attendance records. The attendance policy at my son's school frankly seems to me to be a disguised form of bullying. Children are given a certificate each term for full attendance but this is withheld if they have been ill, on holiday or even 5 minutes late. At primary school it is the parents who decide whether a child attends school or not so why punish the child? Two of my friends children were distraught at the thought of letting their friends down because their clas may not get the best attendance that week if they were off sick. I really think this has gone too far.

Hello Dear

Several newspaper and magazine journalists seem to be of the opinion that to call your partner babe is sexist and offensive. I dont get it as I would be quite happy to be called babe as a term of endearment. My partner and I frequently refer to eachother as dear and are perfectly happy that way. Guess it is a matter of personal choice but surely there are more pressing issues to write about with regards to sexism?

Inevitable Changes?

A recent newspaper article stated that men over a certain age shouldn't wear jeans. Says who?! Why should you change the weay you dress simply because your age is increasing? I for one will still br wearing my skinny jeans in 50 years time. Stick the fingers up at ageism and wear what you want!

To go or not to go

When I was left behind while most of my school mates went off to uni they seemed to think they had one up on me. However, 3 years later most of them had an almost worthless degree and poorly paid jobs or were on the dole and thousands of pounds of debt. The goverments policy of pushing every 18 year old into uni has meant that, unless you study a course with a guranteed job at the end such as medicine, you're probably better off not going.

What will they come out with next 3

After seeing his uncle topless he asked me when he'd have hairy boobies!

He wanted to know how much we'd get for his Grandad on the Antiques Roadshow!

He told me off for unconcentrating him! (I think he meant distracted!)
