    Silly question. I am not sure if I am being hormonal or just a bit loopy..

    If one of the other parents with a child in the same class as yours at school randomly took a pic on their phone of your child (not their own)...what would you think?

    This parent has only TRIED to speak to me once, to quiz me about Squeak.. and I completely blanked her.. she is a friend of KH's slapper..

    The teacher should have done/said something!

    As just a mere MSA I have questioned a parent in the playground who was taking photos - she was happy to prove to me that they were just of her kids.

    Your concern is justifiable - NOT HORMONAL.

    I would take up your concerns with the head.

    To me it is not a question of WHY she did it - IT IS THE FACT THAT SHE DID IT AT ALL!!!!!! And that nobody at school thought it was unusual!

    The BIG issue in all schools at the moment is SAFEGUARDING - and it's a big issue for Ofsted too - we were warned that a previously outstanding school can fail an Ofsted if it's safeguarding isn't up to scratch! Your school needs to look at itself - because your concerns are valid!

    Go get 'em Piggers!

    Thanks all... There isn't a head at the school at the moment but the deputy who started in January is, so far, doing a sterling job so I MAY have a word with her.. Sexy, it was picking up time.. and I was collecting one of the others from another part of the building so wasn't there to get Tiddles..

    paper cut for the hallway.. paste mixed.. paste table erected, destroyed, fixed and re-erected.. I cannot find the paste brush for love nor money.. Gggrrrr...

    OH off out for a bit and I promised not to be doing the big strips which go up the the ceiling until he gets back.. but I can do the smaler hallway ones and start on the next coat of gloss on the landing I guess.. or do the sanding and filling.. so there is heaps to be done!

    First job... off to buy nail glue as mine is dead and I have 3 broken nails to fix.. ggrrrr..

    I have had a hair trim.. so it is a sensible length again and fewer split ends!

    Shop, food, and cuppa.. then I'll make a heap big start...

    SO... HHC 11-11:30am!!
