I don't believe it!

Late home tonight and a sandwich to keep me going.

Parents' evening tonight. I'm always amazed at how little parents know about their children. They look incredulous when they discover their 12 year child can't read and write and are amazed that the primary school didn't tell them. They are amazed that their child has never done their homework, never read a book and has never attended the detentions set for not completing said schoolwork and homework. They are then even more incredulous when their teacher suggests that they might be part of the solution by supporting the school's behaviour policy. I am then amazed when they throw it back at me and ask me what I am going to do about it? I can not give the answer I would like to..............I don't believe it!

On the flip side! Most parents are wonderful, do a fantastic job and a a credit to their community and their children are a delight to teach.
