    Much worse but it is done now. Dealing with an aggressive idiot.

    I quite like seeing what the kids have done, its just getting started!!

    Yuck.. Poor you. I take it that the aggressive idiot is a parent. I have 2 teachers in my family and both say that it's more often the parents that are the tricky ones to deal with, not the kids!
