    and your point is :confused:
    Your mistaking me for someone who actually gives a monkeys.

    [ ] How lovely!
    [ ] How awful!
    [ ] Hey that’s really funny.
    [ ] Still a few fries short of a happy meal I see
    [ ] Pitiful…….try harder.
    COLOR="Red"]X[/COLOR I was going to suggest that if school didn't suit you then adult education might be a way forward but you're obviously happy the way you are. :)
    Don't grow up. Its a trap!

    Peace, love and labradors!

    I agree totally with dangerous.
    Isn't it a bit like the x people who die in plane crashes? Strictly speaking it probably shouldn't happen but, economically speaking and for the greater good of the majority, sometimes you just gotta let 'em go...
    (I'm paraphrasing from something I saw on tv btw, before the plane crash victim relatives assoc pipes up)


    Yeah I'm with you on that one as well. If you're on commission the last thing you want to do is spent an hour with someone who then wants to go away and think about it.

    Mind you I'm one of those customers who likes to research something before I go shopping mainly because although it hasn't happened to me I've stood in shops like PC World and Currys etc and heard some sales folk (mainly young lads) come out with the most unadulterated !!!!!! and the customers are there taking it all in!!!

    Yep i'm perfectly happy being a lone parent to a stunning son, working as a domicillary care worker and just about to start an NVQ, but thanks ever so much for your thoughtful suggestion. ;)
    So Excuse me if perfect spelling and grammar on an internet forum isn't one of my top priorities in life.

    COLOR="Red"]X[/COLOR Hey an attempt at sarcasm.....cool!

    The problem as I see it is your attitude. You obviously didn't value school/education when you were there and unwittingly (trust me) you will pass those negative feelings onto your son and he will do the same to his kids. But like you said - you "don't give a monkey's" so why should he care?

    Maybe you'll be overjoyed if your son too becomes a care worker and does his NVQ. but I thought every generation wanted their children to have easier lives than them. I know my parents did. If you don't have high hopes for him then it doesn't matter if you don't care but never underestimate the influence your attitude has on your kid.

    My attitude? How do you know the reason i left school wasn't because of bulliying or something?
    You are on here and all you can do is pick up on my spelling and grammar as you have nothing else to say then you start being even more childish and bring my son into it.
    I dont give a monkeys about what YOU think, you are just some random on t'internet who thinks they are above others.
    FYI I Do care how my son gets on, he goes to the best nursery school in the area, i have been reaserching all the local schools as i want him to have the best education he can, i spend tiem with him and his numerous books etc... not that i should have to justify myself anyways.
    Just because i dont spellcheck my poxy posts does not mean i am a !!!!!! mum, it's the fcucking internet!
    You go on about what your parents wanted for you, and i know thats what my mum wanted for me but unfortunately i had a father who was an abusive evil man who ground us down, we dont all have nice rosey upbringings with nice parents you know.
    I'll be ovejoyed whatever my son does as long as he tries his best and never gives up.
    I have been dragged up and been through more stuff that you probably wouldn't even have nightmares about, i had a child young, left school with no qualifications, had severe PND and tried to end my life twice, and am trying to make a better life for my son than i had, so dont come on here chatting your bull$hit like you know everything coz quite frankly you dont.
    Oh and he is my child not my kid.:rolleyes:

    Seeing as you are not going to let this go, i'm going to be the adult here and bow out because quite frankly a bit of light banter is nothing but when you start bringing my son and my abilities as a parent into it then it's a different ball game and i dont want to lower myself, by cussing you and risking getting banned so tata :wave:

    I don't really know why you felt you had to tell me all of that. I don't care about you to be brutally honest. You made your choices and you have to live with them.

    But just maybe, when you are less angry, you will take on board what I said in post 160 about your attitude influencing your son and it might make a difference to him and his life.

    I don't know whether you are a good mother or not. I can see from your huge post count that you spend an incredible amount of your time on the internet with strangers when you could be talking to your son, listening to him and practising his basic skills. Answering his questions, asking him things.

    Education is a partnership between school and home - as good as a Nursery might be..... they don't know your son as well as you do and so there's a lot you can do with him too. Don't just read him a story - ask him questions about it. Who, what, when , where, why etc.

    Teachers will always do their best for him but you have more influence than they do. They only have him for 6 hours. Or 3 at the moment. His future is in your hands.

    Hopefully by the time he is old enough to have homework you'll have taken the time to learn the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. Let's hope you do give a monkey's by then :)

    But surely if your organisation got a lot of complaints then it was partly to blame for the situation that caused the unhappiness. Good firms don't get masses of complaints do they?

    Look at the firms on here that crop up all the time - Tesco, Sky, Lovefilm etc. to name but a few. Some companies never appear on these sections of the forum. Others are here all the time.

    quite frankly HD, if i was the parent of you and astonsmummy the one I would be ashamed of is you!! You have a nasty, vicious streak and that often stems from being emotionally starved as a child - you should be aware of the incredibly bad effects a nasty teacher can have on a child, but as a copper i'd say you are perfect :rolleyes:
    :D I understand ALOT more than I care to let on :D
